Pelham police officers saw him walking, offered him a ride and took him to breakfast before taking him to the moving job.
Carr had been walking for about four hours when police offered him the ride, WIAT reported.
Jennifer Lamey hired Bellhops Moving, and Carr, and posted to Facebook about his dedication. His story made it all the way to the home office and the company's CEO Luke Marklin.
Marklin made sure that his employee would not have to walk to work again and gave him the keys to his own car, a 2014 Ford Escape.
Proud to have encountered this young man. He certainly made an impact on us!#PelhamPD #belikewalter pic.twitter.com/d0zz0PMvnv

Lamey also started a GoFundMe campaign in the name of Carr. She had hoped to raise $2,000, but in one day, raised more than four times that amount.
