Generous Donors Rally Behind Dedicated Burger King Employee, Raising $400k
Burger King worker Kevin Ford received a small goody bag as a reward for never calling in sick during his 20-year career, which went viral on TikTok. People on the internet felt he deserved more and raised over $400,000 through a GoFundMe campaign. Ford, a single father with four daughters, never took sick days due to a lack of paid sick leave. He plans to use the funds for retirement, his grandchildren's education, and to make up for lost time with his children. Ford advises others not to prioritize work over their health and family.
