Young Man Walks 10 Miles in Snow for Job Interview
An INSPIRING story of a young man who sets out on a 10 mile hike in the snow and cold for a job interview – and gets hired by the man who gives him a lift – who is so touched by his fortitude, old-fashioned values and pluck!
18 year old Jhaqueil Reagan set out on a 10 mile hike across Indianapolis in the cold and snow, for a job interview at a Dairy Queen.
Art Bouvier, a local restaurant owner to whom he had asked directions, saw him trudging on the side of the road, and offered him a lift.
Along the way, Jhaqueil explained that he was going to a job interview at a local Dairy Queen, that he dropped out of school to support his brothers and sisters after his mother died two years ago, and didn’t have money for bus fare.
Hearing his story, and touched by his old-fashioned values and fortitude — Art hires him for his restaurant, Papa Roux.
The story of the young man and the restaurant owner has gone viral on Facebook – and now been covered by international news!

So touching,God works in mysterious ways,blessings to the gentleman who was so touched and helped the young man,may both go from strength to strength. I pray every night that God would open a way for my two sons who are struggling after the pandemic made them redundant and they are both in their fifties and unable to get a job,struggling even for food,both their spouses have deserted them due to them not being able to get work.With my small pension I try to send to help them have at least one meal.I pray so much. May god abundantly bless who reach out to those who are suffering.
God bless this team who puts together these beautiful stories.

Many Blessings coming your way as you teach others how simple it is to Help. On another note – I bet your net will show a great increase – because people like to reward your actions of Love. Perhaps the boy will grow and become owner of the next Papa Roux # 2.
