Jose Villarruel has been a substitute teacher in Fontana since2013— the same year he started living in his car— and when the pandemic hit, his hours were cut. But today, a former student presented him with a$27,000 check."It's extraordinary," he said— CBS Los Angeles(@CBSLA) March12,2021
受疫情影響,美國加州一名年老男教師失業後落難街頭,自去年5月起住在座駕近一年,直至近日巧遇暖男舊生,在對方和其他舊生們合力幫助下,這名教師終於得以安頓入室,回復正常生活。
77歲的數學科代課老師比利亞魯埃爾(Jose Villarruel)因要為妻子治病,很快花光遣散費,其後只能以舊車為家。大學生納瓦(Steven Nava)上周在家附近的停車場認出高中老師「V先生」,問明原委後,二話不說塞給對方300美元(約2,340港元),並帶他去吃早餐和安頓他住酒店。
納瓦在社交網分享此事並向網民眾籌,幾天內就籌得2.7萬多美元(約21萬港元)。一眾舊生周四(11日)更為V先生舉行生日派對,並把善款支票交給他,令比利亞魯埃爾感動得涕淚縱橫,場面令人感動。
