As a parent, when your child comes home to complain about a bully constantly harassing him/her in school, the next line of action is usually reporting the situation to the school authorities or personally facing up with the bully.
For Aubrey Fontenot, however, meeting up with the bully named Tamarion came with a rather interesting plot twist.
Digging deeper into Tamarion’s actions, it was discovered that he was also being bullied for not having clean clothes and shoes, a frustration he supposedly vented on his son.
“Spent some time with my sons school bully yesterday .. just to dig a little deeper on”why?” .. come to find out he was being bullied for not having clean clothes n clean shoes.. I asked “why?” .. just to find out that his family is currently homeless. I had to do Something.” He captioned in a video posted on his Twitter page.

Speaking with KHOU 11, Fontenot said a phone conversation with Tamarion’s mother revealed things weren’t going too well for them.
As magnanimous as he could be, Fontenot got Tamarion new clothes and shoes and even patched things up with him and his son.

As if that was wasn’t enough, Fontenot created a GoFundMe Campaign for Tamarion’s family to raise some funds to help them through their trying times. The campaign has so far raised over $20, 000, surpassing the $7000 goal!
Way to go Mr Fontenot! We need more people like this.
