Most Americans work grueling hours at their jobs, so we all look forward to our rare and much-needed vacation times. One couple saved $800 to take their dream vacation, but the husband decided to spend the money on something else entirely without asking his wife.
The husband works as a teacher, and he recently noticed that one of his students was wearing the same outfit every day. He thought this was a fashion choice, but when he found out the real reason why, he was heartbroken.
It turns out that the student lived with his grandfather, who was so poor that he could not afford to buy the boy new clothes. The grandfather was only working a part time job, and he could barely afford to put food on the table.
Without hesitating, the teacher decided to give all of his vacation money to the student and his grandfather so that they could pay for food and clothing. This left the teacher with the difficult task of telling his wife that their vacation money was gone.
Here’s how their text conversation went:
He was afraid his wife would be angry, but her reaction was the complete opposite!
“We’ll talk when I get home but I am so proud of you,” she said. “See if they have anyone to spend Christmas with, if not we always have room for two more.”
How sweet is that?!
Their exchange has quickly gone viral, with people all over the globe applauding this couple for their kindness.
