“Latonya is a single mother and was driving for Uber when she picked up Kevin after an Atlanta United soccer game. During their long, two-and-a-half-hour drive, they started talking and quickly felt a connection. They shared personal stories and challenges. Kevin told Latonya about his recent divorce, while she shared her struggles, including working late to pay a utility bill…
Latonya, a single mother of three, also talked about her dream of going back to college. She had started school at Georgia State University in 2010 but had to drop out because she couldn’t afford it. Her dream seemed impossible—until she made a promise to Kevin…
Touched by their conversation, Kevin gave Latonya a $150 tip for her utility bill and asked her to keep him updated on her college plans. A few weeks later, when Latonya tried to re-enroll at Georgia State, she discovered she had a balance of $693 from before. Kevin secretly paid off the debt, saying he didn’t want it to stop her…
Latonya went back to school, graduated twice, and is now aiming to become a federal probation officer. Kevin’s kindness changed her life forever.”
