A man in Oklahoma usually walks 17 miles to work. An unexpected ride has turned his life around.

Donte Franklin is a cook at Buffalo Wild Wings, and because he has to walk, he has to leave 3 hours early. He is known for always going above and beyond.  He has never missed a day that he is scheduled to work and is never late.

A few weeks back, he was walking to work in the scorching heat. A driver, unknown to him, offered to give him a ride.

Michael Lynn, the driver, was extremely impressed with Franklin’s commitment and dedication to his job. He decided to  post Franklin’s story online. The post was shared more than a thousand times. In few days, people had donated over $26,000 so that Franklin could purchase a car.

Additionally, a bike company in the town gifted him with a bicycle until he obtains his driver’s license.
