Remember the 54-year-old Kevin Ford, a Burger King employee, who was awarded a 'goodie bag' for maintaining 100 percent attendance for 27 years of his employment? Well, now there's a wholesome end to that story.

Since Kevin's video had gone viral on twitter, Burger King received a lot of flak, and it drew attention to the poor treatement of employees by big corporations and the lack of worker's rights. After this incident, Kevin's daughter started a fundraised on 'Go fund me' which received an overwhelming support from people on the internet, and they collected over $1,50,000.

According to a report in News18, his daughter started the fundraiser as a way to thank her father for raising and supporting her and her siblings as a single parent, despite the hardships. The actor and comedian David Spade also generously donated to the fundraiser.
