The news was shared through the boy’s social media.

“K27Y… Coming soon! Thank you! We are doing great things. I hope it will be a great success for me and my family. For my children, for my generations and for the community, but I just want to let you know who did it and made it possible,” he said.

Prior to the new acquisition, Ford had purchased a home earlier this year.

“I’m trying to get through this without crying, but I wanted to show you something, something that you made possible. I know it’s not a mansion, but it’s mine,” the boy said, showing off the property in a video posted on social media.

According to the portal Todayby January, he had already raised $450,000 (about R$2.4 million at current prices) through a fundraiser. In addition to the house and the van, he also used part of the money to buy a car and help his family.

In the video that went viral in 2022, Ford showed himself being gifted a bag with a mug, candy, pens, keychains and a movie ticket, as well as a slice of cake, for 27 years of service with no missing work.
