GREENVILLE, S.C. – Darlene Quinn, 60, has been walking 12 miles home from work since her car broke down three months ago. Now, thanks to thoughtful co-workers and dozens of strangers, she won't have to.

Josh Lewis works with Quinn at FedEx. A few months ago, Lewis said he and his boss started seeing Quinn walking along busy roads.

What a beautiful story!

A couple of weeks ago, Lewis went to his boss and suggested they start a GoFundMe campaign to help Quinn get back in a car. The fundraising page was posted Oct. 22. Within a week, about 100 people had raised enough to buy Quinn a car.

On Tuesday, Lewis said, organizers worked with a local dealership to buy Quinn a car, then surprised her with it at work.

Lewis said two locally owned businesses also reached out wanting to help Quinn. One of them is offering free oil changes, and the other is offering tire service as needed. Lewis said the businesses wished to remain anonymous.
