Donations Pour In To Help 20-Yr-Old Who Was Walking 17 Miles To Work Each Day

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.

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.
