Strangers buy car for 20-year-old Texas man who walks 3 miles to work every day



When Andy Mitchell spotted a young man in a fast food uniform walking along the side of a road on a 95-degree summer day in Rockwall, Texas, he felt compelled to pull over.

He rolled down his window and offered the man, a 20-year-old named Justin Korva, a ride -- not knowing how much that small gesture would impact the man's life.

While driving the Korva to work at Taco Casa, Mitchell discovered the young man normally walked 3 miles to work and home again every day. Korva said he was determined to save up money and someday, he hoped, he would be able to afford a car.

After dropping off Korva, Mitchell posted about the man's determination on Facebook.

"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," Mitchell wrote.

The best thing about the 'Undercover Boss' show was its willingness to showcase the hard work and dedication of people like Justin. Here's hoping this story leads to greater opportunities for him.

Yes, but buses don't always go where and when you need them to. I think this is a good story, I hope the car is reliable for a long time. The other side of the story is that with a vehicle, the man could qualify now for other forms of work.
