Imagine if you had to walk to work today in this snow. No matter the weather conditions, that’s James Robertson’s reality.

Robertson was [written about in the Detroit Free Press](http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/oakland/2015/01/31/detroit-commuting-troy-rochester-hills-smart-ddot-ubs-banker-woodward-buses-transit/22660785/?ref=dailydetroit.com) because he walks 21 miles a day in his commute from Detroit to his job in the suburbs. He is a hard worker who exemplifies the true grit and resiliency of Detroiters. Also, he lives in a city with a broken transit system and needs a car in order to get around.

Read his story and help him get a vehicle by contributing to his GoFundMe campaign by **[clicking here.](http://www.gofundme.com/l7girc?ref=dailydetroit.com)** In just a few hours, more than $21,000 has been raised on this campaign alone.
