Delonte West Lands New Job After Panhandling Video Goes Viral

The Delonte West story continues to be a tragedy, but perhaps it has hit a silver lining.

Last week, a video of West panhandling on the streets went viral following his recent rehab stint.

Now, TMZ is reporting that Delonte West has landed a new job at a car dealership.

Per the report:

“We’re told the team at the Beyer Subaru car dealership in Alexandria, Virginia saw the stories about West and noticed he had been asking for money nearby … so they put their heads together to figure out a way to help him earn some dough.

As it turns out, the dealership is currently getting some floor work done … so they asked the company in charge of the project if West could lend a hand.

We’re told the flooring company was thrilled to have the extra help … and West has been working with them for the past two days — and doing a great job!!”

After the video of Delonte West begging for money went viral, he talked about trying to do whatever he can in order to support his family.

“It is what it is,” “I got children. I’m in between jobs. People can help me as much as they can, but you know, as a man I gotta do what I gotta do for my babies.”

Hopefully, the temporarily job for Delonte West helps lead him on the right path as he continues his recovery.

We’re all rooting for him.
