Teacher Gives Student $800 From His and His Wife's Vacation Fund and Texted His Wife to Let Her Know
A teacher noticed his student was struggling and offered to help.
A teacher noticed that one of his students wore the same outfit every day. Initially, he didn't think much of it, but as winter grew colder, he realized that the student didn't have a coat.
Concerned, he asked the student to stay after class to see if everything was okay. It turned out that the student lived with his grandfather, and they could barely afford to cover food and rent, let alone new clothes.
Without hesitation, he took $800 from his and his wife's vacation fund and took the student and his grandfather shopping for warm clothes and groceries.
He texted his wife to let her know what he had done, and her reaction will warm your heart.

The world is a tough place for some people, and it just goes to show that a little compassion can go a long way. This holiday season (and all year, really), spare a thought for the less fortunate. Check in on your friends, colleagues, and peers. People who are struggling may not always ask for help, so look for signs and ask if they need anything.
Sadly, some people aren't as lucky as others, so if you have the privilege of being able to help someone, spread a little holiday cheer—just like this couple did.
