John Joyce is getting a truck.
Joyce, 83, has mowed the lawn at Robert Norton’s house for eight years and after recently getting sick and spending three months in the hospital, his truck broke, according to USA Today.
When his daughter is not able to give him a ride, Joyce walks the 2.5 miles to mow the Norton’s lawn.
“That broke my heart, especially when I found out how he was getting here to do what he was doing,” Nikki Norton said to WTSP.
So the Nortons set up a GoFundMe to buy a truck for Joyce. The account has raised more than $6,200, more than the $4,000 goal, since it started two weeks ago.
“I think anybody who is 83 years old who works as hard as he does, as loyal and faithful as he is, his work ethic and character, should have a vehicle to drive and do his work in,” Robert Norton said to WTSP.
