Man who always trekked to work gets help
In other news about men who trek long distances, Briefly News previously reported that a man, Donte Franklin, who walked many miles to his work every day got the kind of help he would never have imagined months ago.
It all started when a good Samaritan, Michael Lynn, saw Donte walking one day and asked why he was doing so. He revealed that he walks over eight miles to and from work to be able to put food on his family’s table.
Walking the miles to Buffalo Wild Wings where he works takes him more than two and half hours. Yet, no matter how hard his shift was, he repeated the same arduous trek back home.
