James Robertson has walked 21 miles to work for the past 10 years. A few people set up an internet campaign after hearing about his long trek to work everyday. The campaign raised over $320,000 for Robertson to buy a new car.
Robertson received a pleasant surprise when he was invited to a Ford Dealership to test drive cars. However, what Robertson did not expect was to roll away in a brand new Ford Taurus. See the Full Story via Detroit Free Press.
I love this specific news story because of the their are several layers to the story. The story made me feel good because of the man's determination to get to work, the generous people donating over $320,000 to his internet campaign, and the man being so surprised that he cries after receiving the new car. The story is heart warming compared to many of the other stories covered in the news. The story portray's a narrative of hope in a time of uncertainty.
I initially found a simplified version of the news story on AOL.com.
