Harley Harlington has many titles. He is a former marine, a single dad, and a survivor. He’s a loving father and grandfather that worked hard for his family even though he had health issues.

With all the obstacles Harley successfully overcame in his life, it was time for him to be rewarded.

The Amazing Surprise That Left a Single Dad Speechless

So, his daughter, Robbin, and granddaughter, Kirsten, contacted FOX5’s Surprise Squad in the hopes of surprising Harley and making him feel appreciated.

He’s been working all his life. He’s an ex-marine. He’s had a kidney transplant, and it took him forever to get that and he’s still going strong.

Kirsten to FOX5

Monica Jackson reached out to Kirsten and they made their way to Harley’s home.

They presented him with a bouquet of flowers and after a short interview, Harley revealed he had a kidney transplant which added 25 to 30 years to his life.

“As well as running a business, at one time I had four jobs. You know, just so I could put food on the table, presents under the Christmas tree.” he shared.

Harley did a lot of driving, picking up and dropping Kirsten off at work. But his vehicle’s air conditioning and heater had stopped working. That's why Jackson introduced Jose Gutierrez from Sudden Impact Auto Body, who offered to fix the van’s air conditioning and heater.

"He has struggled and he has gone through so much with the kidney transplant and all the doctors and moving him from Arizona to here. Throughout all of that, he was still so strong.

When asked for advice, the single dad says that you should always put family, especially the children, above anything else. It just goes to show that being selfless can lead to unlimited rewards.
