Kevin Ford worked at Burger King for 27 years without missing a single day—not one sick day or vacation. When his dedication was acknowledged with just a small goodie bag, the internet stepped up where his employer fell short.
His daughter started a fundraiser, and people from around the world, inspired by his loyalty, donated over $400,000 to support his retirement.
With the money, Kevin bought his first home and is now planning to launch a food truck serving American and traditional Filipino cuisine. He still works at Burger King while preparing for his next chapter.
Kevin’s story is a powerful reminder that kindness, consistency, and community still matter. Let’s remember to honor people while they’re here
