A group of dads in the Dallas area say they wouldn’t trade Nathaniel Kendrick, better known as “Mr. Kent,” for the world.

The kindhearted crossing guard who watched over their kids at school for more than a decade, Kendrick recently retired from the Lakewood Elementary School, according to WFAA-TV. But his family has fallen on hard times as his wife’s health suffers. Amid their rising expenses, his car was repossessed.

“My mother told me long before she passed, ‘Take care of your wife.’ So I try my best,” Kendrick said.

Great story.The guy served the children of the community faithfully and now he's getting a small reward.Hopefully he's a religious man who understands that he'll get an even bigger reward when he leaves this life.

Thank you for posting this. Sometimes Glenn uses elaborate headlines to reel you into a so-so story. This was different. This is what Christmas and true charity are about. He has proven his worth over the years by watching over their children and keeping a good attitude.

True. Plus he is retired, his wife is ill and getting worse, times are tough for them both, but he is still untiringly working as a crossing guard looking out for the children.
We need more unselfish and caring men like this in our communities, I believe, and I am glad that some people saw the good in him and gave him a little something that can help him.

Yes, I loved seeing his reaction in this story. As well as the smiles on the dads faces when they presented his gift to him. Think I’ll say a special prayer for him tonight, and his wife. Looks like they deserve a few. :)

I don’t know, freepers. I watched the video and just felt the white privilege oozing out of the gift givers, who — just by spending money — put themselves in a position of power over this black (sorry, Black) man. I think they should have checked their privilege at the door and not given him anything. He’d have been much happier that way.
