A Difficult Situation
PexelsLately, Chris had experienced some difficult times and he would go to work on foot. It was frustrating for him because he likes doing things quickly and efficiently but he still managed to perform excellently at work despite it all.
His Goal
PexelsWhen some of the teachers learned about his struggles, and that he was trying to earn enough money to buy a car, they decided to help by initiating fundraising for him.
They Raised $1000
PexelsWhen the teachers fundraised $1,000 in their community, they gave Chris some of that for his immediate needs. Then proceeded to work toward the ultimate goal of buying a vehicle.
Car For Sale
PexelsOne of the teachers’ friends listed an old car for sale, so they fixed their eyes on that one and made things happen for their school custodian.
Working In Secret

Time For The Suprise
YouTube, FOX 5 AtlantaDuring lunchtime, some school staff asked Chris to come to the parking lot to “help them with something.” They walked towards the Chevy Impala, and then one of the teachers plopped the keys into Chris’s hand.
He Was Stunned
