Student Who Walked Several Kilometers to Work Receives Free Car
Jayden Sutton, an 18-year-old high school student from Georgia who walked 11 kilometers each day to and from work, got a new car through a fundraiser.
Sutton was walking to work one December afternoon last year when Lavonda Wright Myers, his friend’s mother, pulled over to check on him. Myers offered to drive Sutton to work because it was raining and the boy was almost late for his shift.
During the drive, Myers learned that Sutton had to walk each day after school to get to work. After six to eight hours at work, Sutton would again walk back home, often arriving around midnight. Sutton explained that he was setting aside money to buy a car and could not afford taxi rides. Myers was touched by Sutton’s story and shared it on GoFundMe, an online fundraising platform. Her initial goal was to raise $4,000 to buy Sutton a car, but after just two days, the donations surpassed $6,000.
However, the money was still not enough for a $7,800-car that Myers wanted to buy for Sutton. Myers asked the car dealership for a discount, and when they agreed to lower the price of the car to $7,000, she added some of her own money to be able to buy it for Sutton.
Sutton, who received the car in early January, was very thankful for Myers’s kind gesture. Sutton especially appreciated the gift because it was timely and beneficial not just for him, but also for his family. His mother had just been laid off, and her car had recently been totaled in an accident.
Sutton shared words of encouragement for people like him who are in a difficult situation. He encouraged them to keep doing good things and working hard to reach their goals. Sutton hopes they might also get help from others who see their efforts, like what happened to him.

한 고등학생이 알바 갈 때 11km를 맨날 걸어 댕겼는데 친구 엄마가 이것을 보고 감동해서 모금 사이트 같은 곳에 올려서 돈이 모여서 차를 사줬다는 그런 얘기입니다~!~!
이 얘기하다가 한국에는 이런 경우가 잘없지? 쌤이 물어봐서 그렇다고 했는데
요즘 필리핀에 한국남자가 사기를 쳐서 욕을 굉장히 먹고 있다고 얘기를 해줬어요
TheHungrySyrianWanderer 이 시리아 사람이 지금 필리핀에 거주중인데 어려운사람을 도와주는 그런 유튜버라
한국 할아버지를 도와줬는데 사실 이 할아버지가 돈이 겁나 많았고, 도박으로 다 잃었다고 하네여
그래서 겁나 욕먹고 있다고 필리핀에서 ,,, 자세한 이야기는 영어라 읽기가 싫으네요 .. ㅠ
필리핀에서 활동하고 있는 한국 배우도 알려줬어요 , 이 사람이 방송 나와서 이 할아버지에 대해서 말 했나봐요
Ryan Bang 유명하다고 ..........
