Kyle Bigler isn't sure how he's going to spend the six hours it used to take him to walk to and from work now that he'll be able to drive.

The 25-year-old has been walking a combined 16 miles a day to two minimum-wage jobs, where he often works 20-hour shifts. He tried looking for a job in his town of Gilford, New Hampshire, but establishments like McDonald's and Taco Bell wouldn't hire him.

Bigler has a learning disability and severe speech impediment that make it hard to find work.

"No places close to me would hire me and Dunkin' Donuts in Belmont did, so I took it and said I'd walk to work and work for them every day," he told TODAY.

And for one year, Bigler quietly undertook the grueling commute, racking up miles each day — going largely unnoticed. But all that changed about one month ago, when customer Joanna Griffiths pieced together Bigler's efforts after encountering him three times in one day.
