A special education teacher in Phoenix got the surprise of a lifetime on Thursday!
Hope Dinnan relies on public transportation to get to and from Constitution Elementary School every day… that is, until now. Thanks to the generosity of a local church, Dinnan was surprised with a new car!
The church reached out to the district looking to find a deserving teacher to give the car to as a donation, and interviewed several teachers during the process, eventually picking Dinnan. The teachers were told they were being interviewed by a local newspaper about their careers.
Dinnan was chosen in part because of her 45-minute bus ride each way to work, her work with special needs students, and for being a single mom who also cares for a son with special needs.
Watch the moment of the surprise, and learn about Dinnan and the generous church behind the donation in the player above!
