After learning that their beloved high school custodian did not have a car of his own, a girls volleyball team started fundraising so they could provide one—and the surprise moment captured on video couldn’t have been more wholesome.

For years, Abel Rodriguez has been a huge supporter of the athletic programs at Community High School where he works in Collin County, near Dallas, Texas—and the Community ‘Lady Braves’ volleyball team has become his biggest supporter.

“He’s just really helpful, honestly,” said Addee Kuenstler. “He supports us through everything. He’s our biggest cheerleader.”

Recently, the team realized his transportation situation was making Rodriguez’s life a lot tougher after he stayed at the school until 1 a.m. waiting for somebody to pick him up.

So, they set up a GoFundMe campaign for him and raised more than $3000 the first day. Soon they had $9,000 to put him in a new ride—and a local dealership, Group 1 Ford of Rockwall, heard about their efforts and stepped on the gas pedal to turn the students’ good deed into reality.

The teens also showed wisdom by involving another local business—the J.R. Arey State Farm Agency—who added auto insurance coverage and gas money.

It all culminated in an amazing scene outside the school Wednesday afternoon, as Abel was “called outside for an emergency” and instead of cleaning up a mess he saw over 100 people cheering for him and chanting his name, unveiling his new car. (See the video below…)

“I’m so happy with the community,” he told NBC’s KXAS News, holding back tears. “I love you. I love you forever, guys.”

“Seeing the actual car here is just such a miracle,” said Jorryn Collins, who told NBC they wanted to repay him for all that he’s done for them.

When the big surprise came, Rodriguez and everyone involved realized that Community High School is really living up to its name.

And, it was the happiest drive home of Abel’s life…
