A U.S. man who walked to his two minimum-wage jobs each day now has a new set of wheels, thanks to the kindness of strangers and a viral Facebook post.

Kyle Bigler, 25, used to walk a combined 26 kilometres a day to two minimum-wage restaurant jobs where he often worked a day shift at one job, followed by an overnight shift at another.

His life took a turn earlier this month, after Joanna Griffiths spotted him walking three times in one day.

Griffiths, who got to know Bigler, snapped a photo of him and shared his story on her Facebook page.

Among the thousands of comments on the post, a local auto dealership, AutoServ of Tilton, expressed interest in giving Bigler a car, for free.

In an interview on CTV News Channel on Wednesday, Griffiths said Bigler’s hard work and kindness struck a chord with her.

“If you didn’t know anything about him, you would think he was a regular person, working a regular job,” she said. “He’s so generous and he’s so kind.”

Griffiths said Bigler, who works at a local coffee shop, said he knows all of his customers’ orders.

“He knows everybody’s coffee and you’d never know that he had worked eight hours that previous shift and had walked to get there, at that,” she said.

Griffiths later learned that Bigler works multiple jobs and saves all his money to visit his young son, who lives in another state.

In the Facebook post, Griffiths commended Bigler for being a hard worker and called him an inspiration.

“This man shows that if you are motivated, ambitious, and WILLING to work, it IS possible,” she wrote.

Griffiths told CTV News Channel that she never expected Bigler would get a car, and she said, at first, he even declined the offer.

“He’s a very proud person and he was really hesitant to accept it because he didn’t know if he would be able to afford the car insurance,” Griffiths said.

AutoServ then went the extra mile, and helped him cover six months’ worth of auto insurance while Griffiths “helped him with the rest.”

Griffiths said she wants people to know that it “just takes one person to notice the good in somebody else.”

“You can be really quick judge to him because he has crazy hair, and he has piercings and he has a severe speech impediment,” she said of Bigler. “But if you were able to put that aside, and just have a 30-second conversation with him – he is just so kind.”

Griffiths added: “If everybody can try to be a little more kind to each other, I think the world can be a lot better place.”
