An elderly McDonald’s employee has a reason to rejoice after a community came together to help ease his financial burdens.
Edward Eubanks, 82, recently told KSNV-TV he hopes to one day retire but is unable.
The Vietnam War veteran, who performs janitorial services and refills soda, has been working at the fast food establishment since 2009.

“I tell them, ‘I am Mr. Ed, a.k.a., the hamburger man,’” Eubanks told KSNV-TV. “I restock the soda station, which is lids, napkins and straws, and then I sweep and mop the floor, [and] empty the garbage.”
Despite working for most of his life, Eubanks said he has never been able to invest or properly save for retirement. Regardless of not having funds to stop working, the elderly man keeps a positive spirit.
“If you laugh a lot and keep moving, you got it made,” he said.
After hearing Eubanks’ story, customer Abraham Cruz stepped in to try and offer some financial assistance. He created a GoFundMe, which has now brought in $25,000 for Eubanks.
In a description for the fundraiser, Cruz said he’s not trying to make the man rich, but wants to “give him some relief.”
