After gathering what she needed to set things straight, Adeleye headed to the school where she ran into a teacher in the hallway. There, she asked her to come out after informing her that she heard what the teacher was doing daily. What followed spread like wildfire across the internet after the rich mom left the teacher in tears.
It was Adeleye’s husband who first told her that the teacher at their children’s school did not have reliable transportation. After learning that her daughter’s teacher was struggling financially and that the woman was forced to take several buses to and from work every day because she couldn’t afford a car, Adeleye decided she wanted to do something.
After discussing the issue with her doctor’s husband, they came to a gratifying conclusion. They would buy their daughter’s teacher a brand-new car. So they went to the car, picked out a shiny white new car, and wrapped it in a bright blue ribbon. They then headed to the school to deliver the gift.
It was obviously a big purchase and they knew it would change the teacher’s life forever. Still, there was a possibility that the teacher might have been offended by the gesture.
But it just wasn’t like that. Instead, the woman’s emotional gratitude was palpable.

For God’s sake!” As Adeleye handed the keys to the teacher, the woman continued to cry. “No more sitting in the cold, no more riding the bus, no more waiting for someone to pick me up!” she cried as she hugged Adeleye and her husband and showed her appreciation.
“I can’t believe it! You all just don’t know!” she exclaimed before inspecting her new car which appears to be a Ford Focus. According to the Daily Mail: “The 2018 Ford Focus starts at nearly $18,000, which is certainly a generous gift. What’s more, according to the video’s caption, the teacher has never owned a new car before.” the sweetest person you would ever want to meet!!!” Adeleye also wrote.
But maybe it’s Adeleye who’s even sweeter.

She has since footed the bill for more than 150 of her social media followers, according to a Forbes profile of the entrepreneur.
Adeleye explained that being able to help someone in their time of need is how she defines success. “When my husband tells me that the teacher who has taught my girls for the last few years has been catching multiple buses every day to get to and from work in the hot sun and cold! He said we should give her something I said. ” ..say no more!” Adeleye wrote. “When you ask me to define success… this is my answer! (Give to those who have no expectations). All glory to God!” Amen. Couldn’t have said it better.
