80-year-old school custodian had to come out of retirement when his rent was raised, then students did something incredible
[Blaze] Students at a high school in Callisburg, Texas, were upset when they heard that an 80-year-old custodian was forced to come out of retirement in order to afford his rent, so they jumped into action.The Callisburg High School janitor known as Mr. James to the students had his rent raised by $400 and he wasn't able to make ends meet without going back to work. Three students decided to open a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for Mr. James, and they set their goal for $10,000. "Hey guys I’m having a fundraiser for our janitor who is struggling to pay his rent. He had to leave retirement to continue to pay his rent that was raised. Just a little will change his life!!" the description read. After the campaign went viral on Instagram, the students raised more than $30,000 in just two days. Only a week later, the campaign has raised more than $162,000 with more than 5.2k donations. Posted by: Besoeker 2023-02-24 |
