Georgia teachers secretly work together to help beloved custodian buy his dream car
Unity Grove Elementary School in Georgia has a strong sense of community. So, when the school's head custodian was in need, the teachers rallied around him.
Watch the video above to see custodian Chris get a stunning gift from his coworkers.
Despite suffering some tough times, Chris Jackson was fighting back. He'd even managed to start saving for a car. Unity Grove school is in quite a remote area and is ill-served by public transport, so Chris often walked to work.
When teachers heard of his situation, they decided to make it their mission to find Chris an affordable car.
They soon found that someone at their local church had a car for sale. However, it was a little over Chris's budget. So, the teachers secretly made up the difference by fundraising in their Facebook group.
In no time, they'd raised more than $1000. And with Chris's money added, they now had enough to buy the car.
Unknown to Chris, they took delivery in the school parking lot, then tricked him into coming outside for the surprise of a lifetime.
