影/暖哭！男大生集體發起募款　幫10年未返家保全籌措旅費

記者鄒慈芸／綜合報導

好感人！美國一群大學生，為了感謝他們的宿舍保全總是溫暖待人、盡責守護大家的安全，於是在網路上發起募款，要讓10幾年來沒有回到家鄉奈及利亞的保全，可以擁有足夠的旅費出發。

在羅德島州（Rhode Island）普洛威頓斯學院（Providence College）一群大學生，住在學校的宿舍內，有天他們突然得知，宿舍夜間保全詹姆斯·莫加吉（James Mogaji），已經十幾年沒有回到奈及利亞探望家人，於是心生計畫，決定在募款網站「Go Fund Me」上，分享詹姆斯的故事。

幾名大學生在網站上寫下，詹姆斯毫無疑問，是學校裡最棒的保全，他每周值四天夜班，遇到每個人時，都會微笑打招呼，無論時間有多晚，他都不介意花時間與你交談，為了讓詹姆斯了解到，學生們對他的感激無法言喻，因此大家決定在網路上發起募款，希望讓詹姆斯有足夠的經費，能夠回奈及利亞探望家人，這樣他就不必自掏腰包，多出一筆開支。

消息一發出，引發廣大回響，在短短一周內，他們就募集到了目標金額，並在7日將這個好消息告訴詹姆斯，只見一群男學生湧入宿舍，圍繞在詹姆斯周圍，並由一名代表向他告知這件事。

當詹姆斯聽到時，先是不可置信地用手摀住臉，接著激動到在地上跪下，所有的同學向他報以熱烈的掌聲，對於自己的行為，詹姆斯謙虛回應「我只是在做正確的事情，但很感謝你們，上會保佑你們所有人。」

發起公開募款的男學生賴克特（Brandon Reichert）事後回應，現在經有足夠的錢，可以讓詹姆斯在六月回家與家人團聚，謝謝所有捐款者，而由於實際募得的金額達30300美金（約95.8萬元新台幣），遠超過當初設立的目標3500美金（約11萬元新台幣），因此剩下的錢會在學期末交給詹姆斯，以資助他的下一次返家之旅！

@lkquinnco 🛑please stop and take the time to watch and share this amazing display of unrelenting kindness and humanity at its best.🛑 now time for MY BRAGGING- My best friend Jess Reichert son Brandon is the most incredibly kind, thoughtful and generous soul. (Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree) I am once again blown away by Brandon’s God Given gift of always doing the right thing and recognizing what is truly important in this world- LOVE and KINDNESS. Brandon started a Gofundme for his overnight security guard James at his dorm building at Providence College. James has been wanting to visit his family in Nigeria for a long time, and Brandon along with all of the amazing students on his floor at PC began to raise money for James to get him home. Today they presented him with the trip. This act of kindness shows us all, that we are more alike than not. Brandon’s ability to always do the right thing and lead, show compassion and gratitude has been a highlight of my life watching him grow up into the amazing young man he is. On that note, I want to give Jess Reichert all the respect in the world for raising this boy as a SINGLE MOTHER and shaping him to be everything he is. For the countless sacrifices she has and continues to make and the obstacles she endures to make sure he has every opportunity to continue on his path we all could learn from as parents. This is also your payoff Jessie, everything that boy is, is ALL because of you! I al so proud to be your friend! I love you both so much!!! Let’s keep this going with a share! @wcvb5 @wpri12 @therhodeshow @abc6providence @channelkindness @thekindnessrocksproject #belikeBrandon #providenceCollege #gofundme #goviral #pcfriars #kindnessmatters ♬ original sound - Leah Quinn
