James Robertson, a citizen of Detroit, experienced automotive trouble in 1988, exactly ten years ago.
The man makes $10.55 an hour, which is not enough money for him to purchase a new vehicle.
Because of this, he came to the conclusion that the best way to get to work would be on foot.
In the same breath, he did not feel the least bit embarrassed by the fact that this trail is pretty long and that taking the bus there and back will take 34 kilometers.
Evan Leedy – A student who was 19 years old read about a man and was astounded by what the man was forced to do.
He was overcome with the need to assist in some manner, and as a result, he established a fund to generate money for Robertson to purchase a car.
The young man claims that he is awestruck by the level-headed and self-assured demeanor of an older man who does not grumble about his lot in life and walks a significant distance every day without giving it any thought.
People were moved by this narrative, and as a result, more than $149,000 was contributed to the fund. Simultaneously, one of the automotive companies made a commitment to donating a vehicle to James Robertson.
Evan Lidy said that they intend to put the money that was raised toward purchasing a man a house in the area where he works.
When Robertson found out about this, he was completely taken aback, but he did not decline the present because he was so fatigued from his long treks and lack of sleep.
