<p><strong>James Robertson</strong>, 56, from Detroit <em>walks 21 miles</em> every weekday as part of his commute to work. His job at a factory pays $10.55 so he says he can&#8217;t afford a car and the bus only takes him so far to work through Snow,Sleet,and Rain. His story has reached millions, prompting 19-year-old <strong>Evan Leedy</strong> to set up a <a href="http://www.gofundme.com/l7girc" target="_parent">GoFundMe page </a>to help Robertson out. With donations coming from all over the country the campaign has raised so far 130,000 dollars</p>
<p>Robertson said &#8220;that he is proud that he has managed his commute for all these years:&#8217; With the help of the campaign, it looks like his walking days may be numbered. Just goes to show you roommates, Good people still exist.</p>
