According to the administrator of Bristruth, a page of Bristol students on Facebook, the idea of raising funds for Herman's trip began with a message posted on the social network "If you need a reason to smile, talk to him for a minute or two," says the message.
A day later, Hadi Al-Zuaidi, a 20-year-old medical student, has launched a money campaign on the Internet. "I plan to open a page to raise funds for the Jamaican cleaner, so that he can see the family in Jamaica during the summer." He had already spoken to Herman several times and had decided that his friend "deserved more than just a chat."
"He spends his whole time being kind to everyone, it was time to To be nice to him too. "
Herman said that he was very moved when he received the students' gift. He had never mentioned anything about needing money to visit the family. It was really a surprise.
"There were a lot of tears."
