Teacher had been living in his car and had lost his job due to the pandemic.
A former student raised $27,000 (over Dh99,000) for his old high school substitute teacher after he found him living in his car.
According to CNN, Californian Steven Nava, 21, presented his former teacher Jose Villarruel with the cheque for the amount at a surprise birthday party he and other former students threw for Villarruel’s 77th birthday. From the bottom of my heart, I just had to resort to all of my self-control not to become sentimental about the whole thing and not to become nervous, Villarruel told CNN. It was extremely exciting, totally unexpected and great.
