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!!
