A teacher can change a student’s life.
However, the reverse is also true.

The students' endeavor began when they noticed a change in Guy’s demeanor.
The teacher, known for being upbeat and enjoying, became glum.
Guy revealed that his wife, Angel, needed open heart surgery after doctors discovered a blockage.
Even when he took time off from work, his students reached out for updates.
Then, the students stepped up again.
To help their teacher afford the steep medical bills, they asked for permission to launch aGoFundMecampaign.
I was just honored, said Guy.
It kind of made me cry.
People were so kind.
His wife was thrilled to learn that the students did it all on their own.
They did it without prompting from a teacher or anybody else, shesaid.
The campaign already met its $10,000 goal with the help of 144 donors.
Guy was my teacher my senior year of high school 19971998.
The success of the campaign has brought the community together.
