What a wonderful gift his daughter did for Gene. And what a great example of working hard Gene has set for his children.

@Deepizzaguy He either likes his job or he has no choice but to go to work and make some money. I am so glad his daughter did that for him and he has a home now. Is he employee of the month because he never misses a day of work? I also learned about hard work when I was young. I am glad they made enough to buy a home before GoFundMe took their share.

I am not sure if this really illustrates hard work pays off if he was GIVEN the money to buy a home rather than worked hard, saved and invested to buy one himself.

I wonder how much was GoFundMe's share of the funds. A lot of charities make big money on the side like this for themselves, while doing some good, so questions of their real goals are never looked at too deeply. At least, Kevin, was able to buy a house, and it seems that the price was reasonable too.
