Burger King တွင် ၂၇ နှစ်တာကာလအတွင်း တစ်ရက်မှ အလုပ်မပျက်ခဲ့သော ဝန်ထမ်းတစ်ဦးအား ကုမ္ပဏီက ရုပ်ရှင်လက်မှတ်တစ်စောင် ၊ ကော်ဖီတစ်ခွက် ၊ ချိုချဉ် ၊ ဘောပင် ၂ ချောင်းနှင့် သော့ချိတ်အချို့ ဆုချ

Burger King employee Kevin Ford hadn’t missed a day of work in 27 years. Early on, his focus was on paying the bills and raising two daughters as a single father.

“I was barely making rent,” Ford told USA Today while recounting his story.

The 56-year-old Las Vegas man, who has worked out of the Harry Reid International Airport since 1995, was presented with a meager goodie bag in 2022 that included a movie ticket, a Starbucks cup, candy, a couple of pens and some keychains to commemorate his nearly three decades in food service.

He posted a TikTok video gratefully showing off his manager’s gifts, and the clip unexpectedly went viral.

One of his daughters created a GoFundMe for him, and donations from viewers who were amazed by Ford’s hard-working, humble nature began to pour in. As of Jan. 17, the fundraiser surpassed $450,000.

He used the life-changing funds to pay off debts, purchase plane tickets to visit his grandchildren, put money toward his retirement and buy a home just 15 minutes outside of Las Vegas, according to USA Today.

“I know it’s not a mansion, but it's mine,” Ford said while showing off the property in a video clip posted Dec. 29.

“I want to thank everyone all around the world for what you’ve done for me, something that I thought would never be possible for me: home ownership.”

Since starting his job at the airport, Ford remarried and fathered another pair of daughters with his second wife. He has set aside some additional money for his children, per USA Today.
