Thanks to a viral video that hit TikTok, and a subsequent GoFundMe campaign, staff member Kevin Ford is now getting acknowledgment for his service beyond what the junk food giant did for him.

In the video posted in 2015, Ford was talented by the company a gift bag of pens, candy, keychains and other knickknacks for his longtime tenure. In spite of showing a favorable attitude, commenters took issue with how the Harry Reid International Airport Burger King worker was acknowledged, eventually suggesting to Ford's child to start a GoFundMe.

" He originally started operating at this task as a single daddy when he gained custody of me and my older sister 27 years earlier," child Seryna discussed on the GoFundMe account, which, since Tuesday, raised more than $430,000. "Then as our household grew and he remarried, he continued to work there because of the amazing medical insurance that was offered through this company since it was unionized. This got all 4 of his children through high school and college with complete healthcare protection.".

Considering that beginning the campaign last summertime with a goal of $2,700, Seryna informed People Magazine she continues to be stunned by how many people, consisting of celebs like David Spade, have contributed.
