\"Britt<\/a>CAPE CORAL, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\n

At 20 years old, Easton Duhigg’s first priority is focusing on how he wants to make a living.<\/p>\n

“I tried a lot of different avenues for entrepreneurship, and that kind of fizzled down,” said Easton. <\/p>\n

He started detailing cars to put himself through college. He’s experienced the harsh reality of entrepreneurship firsthand.<\/p>\n

“It’s sometimes difficult that human nature takes over and I’m like, I am not making enough money,” said Easton.<\/p>\n

That’s why his latest business move at “Anointed Auto<\/a>” may surprise you. Once a month, he gives one person in need a free detail. That led him to Erika Witten in Cape Coral.<\/p>\n

“I just work every day as hard as I can to know that I won’t fail my son,” said Erika. “Everything is about him.”<\/p>\n

Erika is a single mom who takes care of her 12-year-old son who lives with autism. She uses her car to work multiple food delivery jobs to make ends meet.<\/p>\n

When Easton offered to detail her car free of charge, that act of service meant everything.<\/p>\n

“He said, I don’t care how messy it is! I will take care of it for you. I said you are a blessing,” said Erika.<\/p>\n

For someone so young, Easton has learned the greatest payoff isn’t always financial; it’s in how we help others.<\/p>\n

“I would say fulfillment,” said Easton. “I think that’s the thing I get out of it. I think that’s my purpose.” <\/p>\n
