This Man Couldn’t Afford Clothes For His Graduation So Twitter Users Made Sure He Has The Best Graduation Ever
Friendships are one of the most valuable treasures of life. Having good friends can completely change your life and help you get through the tough times. While not everybody is lucky enough to have strong and lasting friendships, those who do have connections like that reminds how important friendships truly are.
Denga from Johannesburg, South Africa has exactly a friend like that. They both recently graduated from the University of Witwatersrand. The recent graduate shared online how much her friend has helped while they were studying.
Recently, a woman named Denga turned to Twitter to ask help for her friend

Before the graduation ceremony, her friend said that he’s not going to the celebration because he can’t afford to get a decent outfit. The loyal friend knew that she must do something about it. She decided to buy him a white shirt and kindly asked on Twitter if someone could lend him a formal blazer.

It'd be nice to set up a free "closet" of sorts for future graduates in similar situations at the University. Here in the States we have things like that for proms or job interviews, but it never occurred to me that graduations would also be a needed opportunity for them. Graduation clothes would also qualify for good job interview or first job outfits, as well.
it's so heartwarming to see twitter is just used to hurt and tear people apart. congrats on graduation!!
Beautiful! It's gestures like this that can change a person's life. I'm so glad I read this story today, even if I'm crying right now. It just reminds me that there's still good in the world and that kindness can prevail.
This is wonderful. Simple acts of kindness can have powerful impacts.
This heartwarming story makes my heart swell with love. To know that people in another part of the world, so giving and loving! Humanity is not yet completely lost is the most important message we can receive. Thank you !
I am curious as r500? Is relative to other currency. Is it like a drink at starbucks? A new Samsung phone? Is it 100 Chipotle burritos? A single night with high class hookers? Like having 10000 yen in Osaka? 100 usd in new york?
Now this one I loved, love to see people helping eachother and spreading love. not sure why this site has to share public shaming/hate articles like they are proud moments...so much other good positive healthy content.
I love everything about this story. I wish the young lady and her friend a wonderful future.
This warms my heart, I wish more people were like this in everyday lives and activities...
Ah yes. Never pass up a chance to mark this kind of monumental occasion. Sometimes all you have to do is ask. Amazing things will happen. Congratulations to the graduate, may he have the best opportunities possible for his future. For those who turned to and helped him out, you are each a blessing.
WOW, complete strangers, how thoughtful of them, my faith in humanity is now restored !!
At some point in our lives, we are all Blanch Dubois, needing the kindness of strangers! It’s wonderful to see, strangers with such giving hearts and souls, make his day so special! Thank you,for filling up my heart. My cup runneth over!
This is such a lovely story! Congrats to Denga's friend, he sounds like a wonderful young man. I wish him every success in his endeavours and I am sure he will continue to make his family proud!
Don't you think it's irony that even someone that you classified as "poor" people managed to bring out the best of humanity, while you were can be an example about the worst trait of humanity?
