A high school principal in North Charleston, South Carolina has gone viral for taking on an extra overnight job at Walmart to help his students in need.
Henry Darby works by day as an educator and by night, he stocks shelves at a local Walmart to help students in need, every paycheck from his second job goes entirely towards helping them.
Darby told NBC’sTODAY that he was motivated to help ease the financial burdens of the students when he learned that many have been hit so hard by the pandemic.
Darby said he learned about the importance of giving back as a child from his mother. “Not only did I have to help others, I had to help others without charging them anything,” he said. “From washing windows to visiting old folk’s homes to cutting grass. I was not allowed to charge, I had to just give back to my community.”
So in return, Walmart got a hold of TODAY and blessed Darby with a surprise donation of $50,000 for his students.
Take a look at Henry Darby's story below and his heartfelt reaction.
