High school sophomores recently raised over $20,000 to surprise their favorite school janitor with a brand-new car.
They asked him what he wanted as a present, and, joking, the Ghanaian immigrant replied that he’d love a new Jeep Wrangler.
The fundraiser kicked off in advance of Francis Apraku’s birthday, whom the boys describe as “super kind and friendly.”
Bennett, Nick H, Nick T, Artin, Joey, Yousif, and Logan, hoped to have enough by the time they graduated from James Maddison High School in Virginia, to give Apraku his Jeep.
With the help of their community, they raised $21,000, which they used to buy the Jeep in candy apple red, surprising Apraku in the school’s parking lot last Monday.
A video shows when Apraku rolls onto his back in disbelief seeing his surprise gift, saying, “Oh My God” and “I can’t believe this.”
“This day, the 9th of September, I will never forget,” Apraku said to the students gathered around.
