🚘 A jeep for a janitor

Francis Apraku, a James Madison High School custodian, recently received the birthday surprise of his life. 

⏪ Let's rewind...Earlier this year, a group of students heard Francis mention that a Jeep Wrangler was his dream car. Francis is a favorite employee among the students, so a group of freshman boys set up a GoFundMe for him shortly after. 

They hoped to raise enough money to buy him a Jeep by their graduation in four years – but it only took a few days to reach their goal.

• When the boys walked Francis out to the parking lot, it took him a few moments to realize the shiny new jeep with the big red bow was his – before he became visibly moved by the students' gesture.
