There is no denying the fact that work/job is very important for every person as we all need money to survive in this world but at the same time, we also need holidays/leave/offs in order to give rest to our body but today we will tell you about one guy who didn’t take even a single leave for 27 years.
The name of the person is Kevin Ford who is working in Burger King for 27 years but what makes him different from every other person or we should say any other employee is that he hasn’t taken a single leave in the 27 years of his service.
Kevin Ford got famous last year when a video went viral in which he was seen opening a bag which was gifted to him by his employer for not taking a leave in 27 years, the bag contained two pens, two lighters, couple of keys, movie ticket, snacks and a Starbucks drink.
Many felt that this reward is way too less for someone who has served his company with such dedication but the good thing is that he has been rewarded not by Burger King but by online users.
Some time back, a fundraiser was started by his daughter for the purpose of arranging a small amount so that he can visit his grandchildren who live in Texas but online users were quite generous and more than $400,000 (₹ 3.27 crore) was donated and now Kevin Ford doesn’t need to worry about his retirement.
While starting the fundraiser, Kevin’s daughter wrote in description, “Hi, My name is Seryna. The man in that video is my father. He has worked at his job for 27 years and yes, he has never missed a day of work. He originally began working at this job as a single father when he gained custody of me and my older sister 27 years ago…”
Thanks to all those online users who helped Kevin Ford, this restores our faith in humanity once again.
