(CNN) - While it doesn't have much to do with turkeys, a waitress at a Denny's restaurant in Galveston, Texas, has a lot to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving Day.

Almost every day, Adrianna Edwards walks more than four hours to and from work.

"I have bills to pay," Edwards told KTRK, a CNN affiliate. "I have to eat. You have to do what you have to do. ”

But his walking days are finally over.

A couple who attended the restaurant on Tuesday bought him a new car, just a few hours after they met.

Edwards can now start college earlier than I thought.

The couple, who wanted to remain anonymous, were at Denny's for breakfast when they discovered that Edwards was walking 22.5 miles just to get to work and return home.

The waitress, who was saving money to buy a car to break free from the long walk, gave the woman extra ice cream. But what he got in return was much sweeter.

The Texas couple finished their meal, left the restaurant, returned with a 2011 Nissan Sentra and handed the keys to Edwards. This car will turn what was a five-hour walk into a 30-minute trip.

"She burst into tears, which made me happy that I was so moved by that," the woman who bought the car from Edwards told KTRK.

All the couple asked for in exchange for the car was that Edwards would simply pay with good deeds. And that is exactly what she intends to do.

“I still feel that I am dreaming. Every two hours, I come and see through my window if the car is still there. When you see someone in need, they may be more likely to help you (and) do everything you can to help them, ”said Edwards.
