Volunteer Story｜Richard Collins

Occupation: Healthcare Worker｜Location: San Francisco, USA
Hello everyone, my name is Richard Collins. I’m 61 years old and from San Francisco, USA. Before retiring, I was a healthcare worker—saving lives was my lifelong mission. As for finance and investing? Those words had always felt distant and complicated to me.
But who would have thought that, in the second half of my life, I could achieve an unprecedented leap in wealth, thanks to Artificial Intelligence.
It was my daughter who introduced me to AFE AI 3.0. She’s an engineer and often says, “AI is the future.” At first, I didn’t quite understand the technology, but I trusted her. I also wanted to make better use of the savings I had accumulated over the decades. So, I joined the AFE AI 3.0 Global Evolution Testing Program.
I invested $500,000—a significant amount for me. It was the savings I had set aside for retirement after selling our family property. I chose a combined strategy: Compound Custody + IPO Opportunities. Simply put, the AI would automatically manage my assets, and whenever it identified a promising initial public offering, it would notify me. All I had to do was click “confirm”—the system handled the rest.
I didn’t check my account every day or actively trade. I continued living my life, gardening, traveling, singing in a choir. But every time I opened the app and saw the numbers steadily rising, I felt at ease.
There’s one moment I’ll never forget. In the sixth month, the AI guided me into an IPO project in the green energy sector. Within just three weeks, that investment brought in over $150,000 in profit. It was then I realized: AI isn’t just for the younger generation—it can open new doors for people like me, too.
By the end of the year, my account had grown from $500,000 to $4.06 million. To this day, it still feels like a dream—but it’s a miracle made possible by technology and time. And here’s the funny part: my daughter actually invested half as much as I did. But because she shared the platform with friends and family, her overall earnings ended up being even higher than mine!
I’m not a financial expert, nor a tech whiz. But what I want to say is this: don’t let age stop you from trusting something new. The future of artificial intelligence doesn’t just belong to programmers or investors—it belongs to ordinary people like me. As long as you’re willing to take the first step, it can take you farther than you ever imagined.
