When a beloved school custodian missed out on a $10,000 community prize, one mom decided to one-up the accolade. Touched by the custodian’s kindness toward her son—who has autism—the entire community helped raise an incredible $35,000.

The check was presented to Raymond Brown, custodian at White Oak Elementary in Edenton, North Carolina, on March 20, to his immense surprise.
