FONTANA, Calif. - A former substitute teacher who was living in his car was gifted with a $27,000 check by a former student.
Jose Villarruel, lovingly known as Mr. V by his students, turned 77 years old on Thursday. His former student, Steven Nava, now 21, decided to arrange a celebration for Villarruel.
Villarruel has served as a substitute teacher for decades. I feel very lucky and very honored that I have taught in different institutions of different levels, he said.
In early 2020, Villarruel said he resigned after schools shifted to distance learning.
