Not stopping there, they even went the extra mile by booking flight tickets for him.

Overwhelmed with emotion upon realising the depth of their generosity, James is moved to tears, a testament to the profound impact of the students’ kindness.
Since its posting on March 11, the video has garnered an impressive 1.3 million views, capturing the hearts of viewers worldwide. The outpouring of support continued in the comments section, with one individual expressing, “What a wonderful thing to do- I wish him a wonderful trip and may your kindness and grace be returned to you in your lifetime.” Another comment reads, “I adore this. They felt his love and returned it with gratitude.”
Others echoed similar sentiments, with one person noting, “So sweet. It’s beautiful to see people doing kind things in this world anymore. You could tell James appreciated it more than those kids will ever know.” Another commenter reflected on the sacrifices immigrants make, stating, “I often think of those who come to the US for better opportunity and everything they sacrifice and everyone they leave behind in the process. I can only imagine those tickets were answered prayer for him, especially as he immediately fell to his knees. Unexpected blessing.”
