Mississippi Man Surprised With A Brand-New Truck After Community Rallies Behind Him

August 17, 2025

When Willie Berry’s old truck gave out, he suddenly found himself walking or relying on rides just to make it to work.

But what could have been a long struggle quickly turned into an outpouring of love from his community.

Berry’s Pinelake Church family decided to take action. They shared his story online, hoping to raise enough to help him get back on the road. What happened next was nothing short of remarkable—within 48 hours, more than $16,000 had poured in from generous hearts near and far.

On Friday afternoon at Noel Daniels Motor Company in Brandon, Berry was handed the keys to a brand-new Ford pickup. Friends and supporters surrounded him as he took in the surprise.

“There’s just something about innocent human beings and they need to be protected and helped and loved and taken care of. And he is one of them. He is the most precious, innocent man you’ll ever meet in your life, and he needs help. He doesn’t have a lot of people, blood related. He’s got us though,” shared organizer Amber Norsworthy.

The generosity didn’t stop at the truck—donations also covered Berry’s car insurance for an entire year, ensuring he can drive with peace of mind.
