Man, 83, is gifted a new truck after pushing his lawnmower more than two miles just to get to work
John Joyce from St. Petersburg has been mowing lawns as a hobby after retiring 25 years ago
His 1995 Ford F-150 broke down beyond repair last month, and he started pushing it 2.5 miles to cut Nikki and Robert Norton's grass
When they realized this, they set up a GoFundMe account asking for donations to buy him a new truck
They raised $13,080 and bought him a new truck complete with insurance, a new lawnmower and gas money
With the GoFundMe page, the Nortons raised $13,080 in one month and bought Joyce a 2004 Nissan SE King Cab V8 truck.
'I feel like a millionaire,' Joyce told WTSP.
Joyce's truck broke down last month just after he recovered from being sick in the hospital.
The transmission on his truck went out and the engine block was damaged which could not be repaired.
is when he began walking miles pushing his lawnmower to the Nortons just so he could get their grass, but the couple was unaware.
When they realized, they set up the fundraising account where people from the community donated to help buy Joyce his new truck.
