This Mom Noticed Something Special About Her Daughter's Daycare Teacher... And Changed Her Life Forever

May 2, 2016

A Louisiana daycare worker's dedication to her work and faith has earned her an act of kindness and generosity that has been captured on video that is now going viral.

Brittney Nichols said she loves their 2-year-old daughter's teacher at Benton Preschool and Childcare, and when she noticed Owens walks to school and work no matter what the weather is like, she was inspired to pay it forward.

"Every single morning when I drop my daughter off Christy is full of joy," Nichols explained in her YouTube post. "Christy is always so amazingly happy and kind. She treats the children as if they are her own. They all love her as do we the parents. I witnessed Christy walking one Sunday in a her Sunday dress with her Bible tucked under her arm. I felt like God spoke within me to inquire about her transportation. Long story short Christy did not own a vehicle and had never had the opportunity to own one or get a driver's license....until today."

Nichols took a few weeks to raise enough money to buy Owens a pre-owned Chevy Cavalier. Since Owens doesn't have a license, Nichols also collected donations to pay for her to go to driving school and will cover her insurance too. People also donated to fix up the car.
