Here's a feel-good story.

Justin Korva, a 20-year-old from Rockwall, Texas, walks three miles to work every day

One day, a complete stranger named Andy Mitchell noticed him walking in his fast food uniform in 95 degree weather and decided to offer him a ride. Mitchell was obviously impressed by Korva's work ethic. He wrote in a Facebook post: 

"[Korva] told me he walks 3 miles to work and home everyday. To all the people that say they want to work but can't find a job or don't have a vehicle all I can say is you don't want it bad enough!" 

Then, something incredible happened. Donations for a car for Korva began pouring in within 48 hours of Mitchell's Facebook post. Complete strangers had raised $5,500 when Danny Rawls, the general sales manager of Toyota of Rockwall heard Korva's story and knew his business had the perfect used car for him. 

Rawls reached out to Mitchell about a 2004 Toyota Camry. Not only did they have enough money to buy it, they had $500 left over to put into a gas card. 

Last Friday, the two men showed up at Korva's work place with the car. Korva was overwhelmed with disbelief when Mitchell told him the car was his, asking, "Are you serious?" 

What a great reminder that there are millennials with a strong work ethic and strangers willing to help each other out.
