Kevin Ford worked at Burger King for 27 years without missing a single day — not one sick day, not one day off. When he was recognized with just a small goodie bag from his employer, the internet stepped in where the corporation didn’t.

His daughter started a fundraiser, and people around the world — moved by his dedication — donated over $400,000 to support his retirement.

He’s now bought his first home and is planning to start a food truck serving American and traditional Filipino food. Still working at BK while prepping for his next chapter.

Just a reminder that kindness, consistency, and community still matter. Let’s give folks their flowers while they’re here.
