Like much of the country, the weather in Oklahoma has been sweltering this summer.
Michael Lynn was out running errands one day when he saw a young man walking on a baking sidewalk. A little while later, he spotted the same stranger again, several miles down the road. Curious, he pulled over to see if he could help.
The young man turned out to be 20-year-old Donte Franklin, who was on his way to work as a cook at Buffalo Wild Wings. Michael asked if he’d like a ride, and due to the oppressive heat, Donte gratefully accepted.
“I wasn’t expecting it, but really it was a true blessing he gave me a ride,” Donte said. As Michael drove, he asked Donte what compelled him to walk so far in the punishing midday sun. When he learned that Donte routinely walks over 8 miles one way to work and then repeats the journey at the end of his shift, Michael was impressed and moved by his dedication.

You might be dedicated to your job, but not as much as Donte Franklin.
He left for his shift three hours early, walking 8 miles each way to and from his job as a restaurant cook.
One day, Michael Lynn was driving around doing errands, and saw Donte trudging along in the sweltering heat. A bit later, he saw him still walking, so he offered him a ride.
After learning about Donte’s almost 17 mile round trip on foot, Lynn posted on Facebook. Immediately the story was shared hundreds of times, leading a local charity giving Donte a bike, and a Go Fund Me raising over $50,000 to help him out.
