Ford’s daughter, Seryna, established a GoFundMe campaign for her father after his video gained widespread attention. She shared the motivation behind his lengthy tenure at Burger King, highlighting how his job at a unionized workplace “enabled all four of his daughters to complete high school and college with comprehensive healthcare coverage.”
The fundraising page has now garnered over $200,000 in contributions, accompanied by numerous heartfelt comments and well-wishes. One donor expressed, “Kevin is an incredible and humble man. I hope he savors every moment of his retirement and gets to do exactly what he desires.
He embodies hard work and sincerity.” Another admirer remarked, “You and your family are a true inspiration… the world needs more people like you, Mr. Ford! Enjoy your thoroughly deserved retirement!”
During his interview, Ford contemplated what he might do with a retirement check spanning two decades. Even in his daydreams of a substantial gift, Ford remained grounded, saying, “If I had enough money, I would invest in a new American-made Ford hybrid. They’re fuel-efficient and affordable. It would help me get around.” He continued to exhibit his modesty, acknowledging, “But that’s just a dream; I’m not pursuing material things.
I’m focused on getting through each day.” Ford’s resilient spirit resonated with viewers, prompting them to rally around his GoFundMe campaign, hoping to assist the dedicated father in achieving financial stability.
