We are very happy for her." 

Keighron tells FOX that her tribe speaks to Gillespie daily and explains what motivated her tribe to help the 72-year-old woman.

"Our motivation really was that both of our fathers (Keighron's father and her husband Kevin's father) retired late in life and both died from terminal cancer. It really resonated in our hearts when we saw her (Gillespie) smooth working at her age and reminded us of both our fathers."
