John Joyce had a tough time holding back tears Monday afternoon at a used car dealership in Pinellas Park, Florida, as his friend and longtime customer handed him the keys to his new truck.
Joyce, 83, has spent the last few months walking several miles a day to his customers' homes to mow their lawns after the transmission died in his 1994 truck.

Longtime customer Robert Norton and his wife Nikki Norton created a GoFundMe account hoping to help Joyce.

They were stunned when people donated more than $13,000 in just a few weeks and they were able to give him the new ride.
Good, short story. Take a look.
