Yahoo News Fast food worker accepts lift from stranger and gets incredible gift
A Texas community has rallied to buy a new car for a man who faced walking miles to work every day in sweltering heat.
Kind-hearted Andy Mitchell saw the man walking along the road on a hot summer’s day and stopped to offer him a lift.
Justin Korva, who works at a taco fast food restaurant, explained the trek he faced getting to work every day without a car.
“Meet my friend Justin!” Mr Mitchell posted on Facebook. “I picked this boy up this AM and gave him a ride to work at Taco Casa. He told me he walks 3 miles to work and home every day.
“To all the people that say they want to work but can't find a job or don't have a vehicle all I can say is you don't want it bad enough!”
The post resulted in hundreds of people donating to help the young man, with the money used to buy him a new car, insurance and petrol allowance.
“Thanks so much to everyone who has helped as we still have donations coming in,” Mr Mitchell said.
“Everyone who has helped with this are amazing and you just helped a hardworking young man out with all your generosity.”
He added: “Today will be his last day to walk to work. This young man will be super happy after today.”
