Kevin Ford is a cook at Burger King in Nevada who became famous after his video went viral on social media. Ford received a “meager” gift for his 27 years of work without a single absence.
Internet users were outraged when Ford showed his “gift” in a TikTok video in 2022. He received a bag with a Starbucks cup, some chocolates, and even pens.
Ford’s daughter, Seryna, was upset about the situation and started a GoFundMe campaign to show her love for her father. With an initial goal of $200, the campaign has already raised over $450,000.
Ford is a father of four daughters and raised them as a single parent for a long time. He is now remarried.
Kevin Ford now plans to use the money to start his own culinary business. He and his daughter, who is a student at the French culinary school Le Cordon Bleu, will open a food truck specializing in burgers and hot dogs.
The vehicle cost Ford only $20,000 and came fully equipped. He also used part of the raised funds to buy his own house.
Kevin Ford named the food truck “K27Y” in honor of his years of service. The opening is planned for October 2024. He plans to retire in 2025, when he will have worked for 30 years.
