September 10, 2021

A school custodian no longer has to walk to work, thanks to the generous faculty from his school.

Chris is the head custodian at Unity Grove Elementary School in Atlanta.

In a video posted to Facebook by the school, two people are seen leading Chris to a car and then put the keys in his hand.

"Today was one of those days that makes you smile for hours," a spokesperson for the school wrote on Facebook.

"Through the generosity of our staff, we have been able to bless our head custodian Mr. Chris in his time of need. In the past few months, Ms Combs and Ms MacDonald have orchestrated collection for funds to help him find housing and utility payments."

"There is a God," Chris says with his hands extended in the air.

"I never would have dreamt of something like this," he said. "This is mind-blowing to me."

The school said staff didn't know at the time that they happened to purchase his favorite type of car.
