Nykia Hamilton, a 25-year-old single mom of three, went viral in July after she was filmed working a South Carolina Burger King completely by herself. She handled the drive-thru, front counter, kitchen, and cleaning for 12 exhausting hours. “She’s doing everything by herself,” one customer said in disbelief.
Despite her dedication, Nykia later revealed she was fired. She explained, “My kids come first. Y’all don’t pay for no babysitter, or nothing.” Long shifts often left her sore and missing precious moments with her children. Still, her story touched thousands of people online.
Now, Nykia has embraced a new path as a content creator. She recently posted her first “get ready with me,” showing life with her children. Supporters flooded her page with encouragement. One wrote, “Keep your head up momma, you’re an inspiration.” Donations from a GoFundMe have already topped $74,000, allowing her to help her own mother.
Nykia’s journey shows resilience and strength. Would you have the courage to start over when life takes an unexpected turn?
