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.
