Waking up and going to work can be hard, but it has been significantly harder for Trenton Lewis.
For about half a year, he had to get up early in the morning, walk 5.5 miles to make his shift at 4 am.
After finishing his hard work, he then had to walk all the way back to his home. Trenton is a 21-year-old father, but he had never complained about having to walk to work.
He didn't even tell any of his co-workers at the UPS facility about it. After some time, some of his co-workers found out about his exhausting journey that he had to take every day.
They couldn't let it continue anymore, so they all got together and pitched in as much as they could to get Trenton a new car. One of Trenton's co-workers, who had the idea, was Kenneth Bryant.
Kenneth stated that some of the people that heard the story didn't even know Trenton, and they didn't even know he actually worked there. But at the end of the day, everyone that heard the story pitched in.
Kenneth went to a local car dealer and told the story to the employee. He was able to work out a price for one car.
For about 2000 dollars, Kenneth was able to buy a 2006 Saturn Ion. They informed Trenton that all the workers had to be on the parking lot for a 'union meeting.' Little did the Little Rock native know that he was about to get a surprise.
He had a little speech and presented the keys to Trenton's new car. Most of his co-workers know Trenton does not show any emotions ever.
But, he could not contain the feelings that he was feeling when they presented him with the car.
Kenneth said: "Someone who is a young person like Trenton should not decide if he rides to work or walks 11miles to get to work. But, Trenton has been doing that for a long time without complaining to anyone.
If he can do that, we can pitch in and get him a new car!"
They even filled the whole tank with gas, so he wouldn't have to pay for gas for a long time. Trenton has said that the first thing that he's going to do in his new car will be to get back home.
Then, get his 14-month-old daughter and his mother, and go and have a nice meal.
