        what do you mean 'atleast he got a holiday' he wasn't complaining? that phrase simply doesn't work there.

        I mean he’s not the only one who hasn’t had a holiday for a long time. I’m not criticising him, just trying to point out it happens.

        It wasn’t just a holiday. It was so that he could visit his family whom he hadn’t seen in 10 years 😃💕

        you're making a lot of non points. The fact he's not seen his family in years isn't the story. Students raised money for him because he was kind and brought them joy, this is just an article to follow up to say they've gone through with the holiday.
