Robert Bean Ford, a custodian from Utah, had a two-hour commute every single day to work. When Robert missed the bus one day, a kind stranger named Sean Merrill saw him walking and insisted on giving him a ride. Robert resisted at first, but Sean was adamant about helping. It was on the ride home that Robert talked about his long commute. Sean and his wife Darilyn couldn't stop thinking about Robert. The couple decided to do something about his situation.
They started a GoFundMe account and with the $1,800 they raised, Sean, who is a mechanic, bought a car and fixed it up for Robert. They even paid for registration, insurance, safety and emissions. In the video below you'll see Robert and his wife Kathy's completely stunned reaction. Robert just can't hold back the tears. His reaction reminds us of the time when another single mom received a free car and was left in shock.
"I think it's important to take a step back and think about others and think about that they are a person just like you," Sean said. "They go through the same struggles, maybe different experiences, but everyone needs help now and again."
The commute to work is now only a mere 20 minutes, so let's just say this custodian's life just got a whole lot easier. "If it wasn't for them, I'd be still riding the bus," Robert said. "I owe them a lot, and I'm going to do my best … help somebody else."
