Created with Fabric.js 1.4.5 Over $200,000 Have Been Raised for aMan Who Walks 21 Miles to Work Everyday Meet James Robertson.He's 56 years old andlives in Detroit. Oh, and he walks 21 miles to and from work everysingle weekday. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B8wimHvCUAIKOJ3.jpg:large This is Blake Pollack. He saw James on his own commute to work one day and promised him a ride the next time they saw each other. Since then, Pollack has helped Robertson by givinghim rides when needed. He is also the one who brought Robertson's story to the press. http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/150203133223-robertson-pollack-leedy-large-169.jpg Ever since Robertson's car broke down in 2005, he hasn't been able to save enough money to buy a new one, since he only makes $10.55 an hour at the factory he works at. As a result, he has to take this 21 mile trek twice a day. When 19-year-old Evan Leedy read aboutRobertson's story, he immediately wanted to help. He set up a GoFundMe page(a fundraising website) and recieved over $200,000 in donations within a few days. Leedy had originally set the goal to $5,00. http://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/96c0f55dc407b5a700a235455eecc40cab357fe8/c=0-0-2128-1600&r=x404&c=534x401/local/-/media/2015/02/03/USATODAY/USATODAY/635585502875568594-robertsonfundraiser.jpg With this money, Robertson will be able to go and by himself a great new car that will get him to and from work in place of the treacherous 21-mile trip that he takes now. "I'm a Ford fan. I remember the Taurus. They look comfortable, nothing fancy. They're simple onthe outside, strong on the inside - like me." -James Robertson http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/150203133223-robertson-pollack-leedy-large-169.jpg Robertson wantshis story to inspire peopleso that they might do something from the heart, just as Leedy did.
