Security man who misses family in Nigeria emotional as U.S. students raise money for him
A security man at Providence College in the U.S. who had longed to see his family in Nigeria gets emotional as students raised money on his behalf.
A video making the rounds on social media captured the moment college students made the day of a Nigerian man identified as James.
James had often spoken about how he hoped to visit his family in Nigeria after years of being apart while pursuing greener pastures.
One of the students, Brandon put it upon himself and began a GoFundMe for James whom they described as a wonderful man to all of them.
In an emotional video, the security man fell on his knees when the cash gift was presented to him by the students.
How U.S college students raised money for a security man to visit family in Nigeria
“Please stop and take the time to watch and share this amazing display of unrelenting kindness and humanity at its best.🛑
now time for MY BRAGGING-
My best friend Jess Reichert son Brandon is the most incredibly kind, thoughtful and generous soul. (Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree) I am once again blown away by Brandon’s God Given gift of always doing the right thing and recognizing what is truly important in this world- LOVE and KINDNESS.
Brandon started a Gofundme for his overnight security guard James at his dorm building at Providence College. James has been wanting to visit his family in Nigeria for a long time, and Brandon along with all of the amazing students on his floor at PC began to raise money for James to get him home. Today they presented him with the trip.
This act of kindness shows us all, that we are more alike than not. Brandon’s ability to always do the right thing and lead, show compassion and gratitude has been a highlight of my life watching him grow up into the amazing young man he is.
On that note, I want to give Jess Reichert all the respect in the world for raising this boy as a SINGLE MOTHER and shaping him to be everything he is.
For the countless sacrifices she has and continues to make and the obstacles she endures to make sure he has every opportunity to continue on his path we all could learn from as parents.
This is also your payoff Jessie, everything that boy is, is ALL because of you! I al so proud to be your friend! I love you both so much!!!”
