Herman Gordon has spent years working as a janitor at Bristol University, and he has become so beloved with the students there that they decided to do something truly amazing for him.

Over 200 students at Bristol donated money to send Herman on a much needed vacation to Jamaica!

It all started a few months ago, when a student posted on Bristol University’s “confession” Facebook page called Bristruths about Herman Gordon.

“The Jamaican cleaner in the med library is the jolliest man I have ever met, he makes me smile even when I’m in the deepest depths of revision or trying to be, if you want a reason to smile go talk to him for a min or two,” the student wrote.

So many students were touched by this that they launched a crowdfunding page to raise money to send Herman to Jamaica so he could see family members that he had not seen in over a decade. Over 230 people helped to raise £1,500 for Herman’s trip.

“We’re delighted to say that Herman loved his holiday at a five star resort in Jamaica along with his wife Denise. They celebrated their 23rd wedding anniversary there and have gone on to visit family in Kingston,” an update on the page read. “Herman has told us: ‘God bless you all. Everybody will see this and think that I’m a trillionaire’ whilst Denise has said: ‘I just wanted to say thank you to all the University of Bristol students for this gift that they have given to me and Herman.'”
