Here's today's feel-good story:

To get to work as a Buffalo Wild Wings cook, Donte Franklin walks to work 3 hours each day, going more than 8 miles in both directions.

He credits his late mom for his work ethic: “I really don’t care if it gets tiring. I just have to keep pushing,” Franklin said. “I walk just to make my family proud.”

When Michael Lynn saw Franklin while he was running errands, he offered him a ride in the sweltering summer heat. Franklin told Lynn about his story, and Lynn shared it on Facebook where it was shared over a thousand times.

Because of Lynn's post, Franklin was gifted a bike, and his GoFundMe page has raised over $52,000!
