Every day, businesses in America are struggling to find and keep dedicated workers.
But he does admit that things used to be a lot different.
Im happy about anything.
Im grateful for anything I get.
Believe me, Ive been through a lot.
So, Im happy with what I got, Fordshared, before continuing.
But, like most big corporations, theyve kind of lost touch with their workers.
The man in that video is my father, Serynashareson the GoFundMe page.
She initially started the fund with a goal of $200, enough to cover a plane ticket.
But soon enough, they had met and exceeded that goal many times over.
Even after raising the target again and again to accommodate peoples overwhelming generosity, the donations kept coming.
But with more than 8,000 donors, those small contributions really add up.
Then, the hosts surprised him with something even better than money.
He couldnt hold back his gratitude for what everyone has done for him.
I just can’t believe this.
Thank you, thank you everybody, hesaid, still a little choked up.
I just want to tell everybody out there, thank you for every cent.
It’s just a dream come true.
It’s just a whirlwind of love.
Spread the love, ‘cause every day you need it.
Some rewards can be measured, but others are absolutely priceless.
The video quickly went viral, and people were appalled by the lackluster employee appreciation gift.
However, Ford was still grateful.
And he even got invited on theTodayShow.
