New Jersey teacher steps up after student's mom loses job
A high school teacher from New Jersey went above and beyond for the family of a student after learning of their financial hardship.
Nicholas Ferroni is a firm believer that teaching from the heart is what will shape the minds of his students.
"There's no teacher in the world that should say, 'I don't care if you're depressed or upset, I need you to do well on this test,'" he said.
So when the 38-year-old teacher noticed something wasn't quite right with Union High School senior George Hued, Ferroni followed his heart.
It turns out Hued, his mom and younger brother had recently been evicted from their home after a dispute over the lease. His mom, Melanie Robinson, had also lost her job.
Ferroni started a GoFundMe page, and within 48 hours, complete strangers enabled him to surprise her with more than $5,000 Tuesday.
