Providence College Students In The U.S Raised Money For Their Nigerian Dorm Security Guard To Visit Family After 11 Years (VIDEO)

Providence College Students in the U.S. raised Money for their security guard who longs to visit his family in Nigeria.

Some U.S college students have donated funds to send their security guard, who wishes to see his family in Nigeria after 11 years.

James Mogaji, a security guard, works four nights a week on campus and has not seen his family in 11 years. Mogaji will travel to Nigeria in June after raising $18,658, more than five times the students’ initial goal of $3,500, through GoFundMe.

A student named Brandon propelled the idea to take the Nigerian security officer on holiday to Nigeria.

James then dropped to his knees to thank students at Providence College in the United States for their excellent gesture towards him.

“He’s just the kindest soul anyone has ever met in this building. He means so much to us he’s so important. It was amazing how fast everyone connected and were able to put it together for him,” freshman student Brandon Reichert, who helped organize the GoFundMe, told WCVB.

The school’s Dean of Students, Steven Sears, shed light on the impact Mogaji has had on the school since he started working at Providence College earlier this year.

“What is so special is the impact James has had on all of us,” Sears said. “His reaction and the authenticity not only for this group and the students involved with him and the care, and what he said at the end is that he is praying for them, he is praying for their success, and that God watches over them and that he does that everyday.”
