Burger King employee who never missed a day of work in 27 years receives over $270K in donations
Ford posted a video of him thanking his team and showing off his items, but he never imagined it would go viral. "I was honored, it was nice and I loved it," Ford said. "One lady’s been there for 35 years, they didn’t get anything that I know of so I was happy." But Ford’s daughter thought more needed to be done to show appreciation for his inspirational work ethic. to help raise money as an extra way to celebrate her father’s career milestone.
"My dad continues to work here, because though he does look young, he is coming up on retirement age and leaving would cost him his retirement," she continued. "In no way are we asking for money or is he expecting any money but if anyone feels like blessing him he would love to visit his grandchildren."
Thinking only of others, Ford said the entire experience still feels new but the reality finally set in when he was flown out to New York to share his story on NBC’s "The Today Show," where he was reunited with his grandchildren which he says was a greater gift than money can buy.
