Exclusive | Burger King employee Mykale Baker, who jumped to help coworkers after graduation, always had strong sense of duty, sister says — as GoFundMe nears $200K

When doing the right thing pays off. 

Mykale Baker, who was celebrating his high school graduation with his Burger King colleagues and went viral for jumping behind the counter in his cap and gown to lend a hand, has always put others first, according to his proud sister.

“I don’t think he’s ever noticed how selfless he is until now,” Mycah Baker told The Post Wednesday of her 18-year-old brother.

The Georgia teen won “Most Selfless Person” in his high-school band just a week before the video of him bagging orders in his graduation gear captured hearts across the nation.

Raised by a single mom, Baker is the youngest of eight and is always game to help out. 

“He’s always done these things without a lot of people seeing it. It’s something that comes naturally to him,” Mycah revealed.

After walking the stage at Mill Creek High School, Baker took his mother and grandmother to the Burger King he’s worked at for over a year for a celebratory Whopper.

When he stepped in to help colleagues struggling with the evening rush, a local mom shared a TikTok of him bagging orders while in his graduation stole. 

“Our family is extremely grateful that somebody like Myke (his family nickname) is getting the attention that he’s ultimately always deserved,” Mycah said.

The video now has over 4 million views, and a GoFundMe in Baker’s name has raised almost $200,000 as of Thursday night, with thousands of people donating for his future. 

The kind-hearted teen also received $10,000 from the Burger King Foundation on Monday to put toward his future studies. 

“This story is about more than a viral moment. It’s a testament to hard work, generosity, and the incredible ripple effect of doing the right thing,” a spokesperson for the foundation said. 

Growing up, Baker, who plans to attend trade school, was a quiet kid who always liked working with his hands, Mycah said.

“I definitely think he’s more excited for his future, now that he has people who are invested in him as well.”
