    Walter Carr and his mother just moved from New Orleans, Louisiana to Birmingham, Alabama after losing their home in Hurricane Katrina.
W alter Carr, a college student in Alabama, walked 32 kilometers in the dark to get to his new job. Walter Carr’s car broke down the night before starting a new job at Bellhops, a furniture moving company. Carr was unable to find a ride. He left at midnight so that he could make it to the customer’s house by 8： 00 am the next morning.
Pelham police saw him walking along a highway at 4： 00 am and they took him to a restaurant for breakfast and then to a church where he could safely wait until 8： 00 am. The police then took Carr to the home of custormer Jenny Lamey. Lamey said that even though Carr had just walked the entire night, he refused her offer to rest and started working. Lamey thought he worked in a down -to- earth way. While he worked, he talked with the customer, telling her how much he liked her kitchen.
Lamey later wrote this on Facebook： “I just can’t tell you how touched I was by Walter and his journey. He is kind and cheerful and he has big dreams! He is hardworking and tough.” She then started a GoFundMe page to help Walter with money to get his car fixed. When the CEO of Bellhops, Luke Marklin, learned of Carr’s story, he drove from Tennessee to Alabama to give Walter his own Ford Escape.
W alter Carr’s story touched many others around the United States. Within a few days, people gave over $ 73, 000 to his GoF undMe page. Carr has decided to give a part of the donations to the Birmingham Education Foundation. And he has received more offers for jobs and scholarships for schools.
