Here's a touching story that will sure bring a smile to your face.
A former student by the name of Steven Nava helped raised more than $27,000 for his 77-years-old substitute teacher Mr. Villarruel who has been living out of a car.
According to Nava, he created a GoFundMe page after he found out his former teacher was sleeping in his 1997 Ford Thunderbird LX.
“Every morning/ night I’ve always noticed this older man that would stay out in his car constantly at this parking lot near my house even when the weather was bad. He looked familiar and I’m sure a lot of y’all have had him as a substitute in Fontana,” Nava shared on social media.
"It is an experience of my life that will be kept for the rest of my life. I carry it in my heart," Mr. Villaruel told NBCLA. "I felt that something was going to happen, that things were going to change, and it happened suddenly when I least expected it. I tell the students when they have a project, keep going despite the difficulties, don't give up. Do not give up. Don't quit,” he added.
