A touching moment unfolded at Providence College in the U.S., where a dedicated security man named James, originally from Nigeria, found himself on the receiving end of a heartwarming gesture. Longing to reunite with his family back home, James had expressed his desire to visit Nigeria after spending years abroad in pursuit of better opportunities.
In a beautifully captured video circulating on social media, students at Providence College rallied together to organize a fundraiser for James. Brandon, a compassionate student, took the initiative to start a GoFundMe campaign for the beloved security man, describing him as a wonderful individual who had become an integral part of their college community.
The emotional highlight of the video unfolds as James, overwhelmed with gratitude, falls to his knees when the students present him with the funds raised for his trip. This poignant moment not only showcases the generosity and empathy of the students but also underlines the profound impact small acts of kindness can have on individuals and communities.

🛑please stop and take the time to watch and share this amazing display of unrelenting kindness and humanity at its best.🛑 now time for MY BRAGGING- My best friend Jess Reichert son Brandon is the most incredibly kind, thoughtful and generous soul. (Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree) I am once again blown away by Brandon’s God Given gift of always doing the right thing and recognizing what is truly important in this world- LOVE and KINDNESS. Brandon started a Gofundme for his overnight security guard James at his dorm building at Providence College. James has been wanting to visit his family in Nigeria for a long time, and Brandon along with all of the amazing students on his floor at PC began to raise money for James to get him home. Today they presented him with the trip. This act of kindness shows us all, that we are more alike than not. Brandon’s ability to always do the right thing and lead, show compassion and gratitude has been a highlight of my life watching him grow up into the amazing young man he is. On that note, I want to give Jess Reichert all the respect in the world for raising this boy as a SINGLE MOTHER and shaping him to be everything he is. For the countless sacrifices she has and continues to make and the obstacles she endures to make sure he has every opportunity to continue on his path we all could learn from as parents. This is also your payoff Jessie, everything that boy is, is ALL because of you! I al so proud to be your friend! I love you both so much!!! Let’s keep this going with a share! @wcvb5 @wpri12 @therhodeshow @abc6providence @channelkindness @thekindnessrocksproject #belikeBrandon #providenceCollege #gofundme #goviral #pcfriars #kindnessmatters
