At the age of 54, Kevin Ford was rewarded with £318,000 (approximately R$ 2 million) for his retirement in recognition. He worked almost his entire life at a Burger King located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The video of him recounting his trajectory went viral in the United States when they realized that he hadn't missed a day in 27 years of work.
The story, of course, caused quite a stir. How could a person work for 27 years without missing a day of work? We may not know it, but Kevin Ford knows what he had to leave behind in order to pursue an unsurpassed course. In honor of the worker, they moved fundraising through GoFundame to create an even better amount for his retirement.

The movement, for example, had the donation of great celebrities, such as David Spade. The goal was to reach £ 357,952.50 (approximately R$ 2.3 million), which they achieved after the numbers surpassed an extremely important value and it happened quickly. Kevin's daughter was raising money for him to get to Texas, but she certainly didn't have to worry about tickets.
It was through her that the numbers began to emerge quickly. In the video, Kevin's daughter portrays that he is a single father and has taken care of two girls for 27 years and still hasn't missed a day of work. The move was worth it!
During the interview on the Today Show on NBC, Kevin portrayed that he is living a dream and expressed total gratitude to the people who contributed to his retirement.
“I am very grateful for everything. I'm grateful for every day I wake up, that I can go to work, that I can be a good citizen, be a good American, and be part of my team. I'm just grateful for everything I get”, said Kevin when showing such emotion.
