In an ideal world, those who have excess would always help those in need; those who have money would lend to those who don’t.
Of course, that’s not the case, and we’re not necessarily saying it should be. After all, a lot of people who have money to their name are those who have worked damn hard to make it that way.
Courtney Adeleye, the founder, and CEO of The Mane Choice hair care products, found out through the grapevine that her daughter’s teacher was struggling financially. The teacher was forced to use public transportation, adding hours to her already jam-packed day.
The parents spoke with her husband and they came up with a solution to help.
They came to the agreement that they would buy their daughter’s teacher a brand new car.
Obviously this was a pricey investment, but one they knew would change her life forever.
So they went to the car lot, chose a new car and wrapped it in a bright blue ribbon.
Still, Adeleye was unsure over whether or not the teacher would be offended by the gift. Would her pride lead her to feel insulted?
There was a chance the teacher could have been offended by the gesture.
Courtney visited the school and asked the teacher to come outside with her into the lot.
When she handed the keys over, the teacher broke down in tears, saying: “No more sitting in the cold, no more riding the bus, no more waiting on somebody to come and pick me up!”
The woman’s emotional gratitude was palpable.
Fortunately, Courtney’s daughter filmed the event, giving everyone the chance to witness an act of compassion that transcends even the kindest of gestures.
When Adeleye brought the teacher outside to look at her car for the first time, the woman immediately got very emotional.
“Are you serious?” she said. “You’re really serious? Oh my gosh!”
Adeleye then handed the keys to the teacher and the woman broke down in tears. The mom explained that being able to help someone in their time of need is how she defines success.
