Wow. Talk about a dedication. An Ohio man would wake up at 3 a.m. in the morning to start his 10-hour round-trip trek to work.

Thanks to a generous Ohio community and his co-workers, Kevan Finley will no longer have to spend 10 hours a day walking to work.
The 30-year-old was working as a cook at a Ruby Tuesday near his home in Elucid, Ohio, until it shut down in June. When he had trouble getting a local job that would pay him more than minimum wage, he decided to continue working for the chain restaurant’s location in Mentor — 9 miles away.
He was making the 18-mile round-trip trek every day, six days a week since then.
“I didn’t mind the walk and didn’t feel the need to tell anyone at work about it,” Finlay told TODAY.
After the restaurant’s general manager found out a month ago how he got to work, co-workers took turns driving him home whenever possible.
And then, while driving him home one day, waitress Shayla Kathleen found out Finlay had been saving up for a car and studying to get his license.
She told the rest of the staff and together they created a GoFundMe page, which has already raised more than $8,000 for Finlay.
