Chandler Lacefield, Inspiring Texas Teen, Sells Own Jeep To Buy Friend A Car

She Just Surprised Her Friend With An INCREDIBLE Gift
|

Chandler Lacefield, a Texas teen, just surprised her friend with a very expensive gift -- and the story behind it will warm your heart.

According to NBCDFW.com, Lacefield and MacKenzie Sterner first became friends in March, when they both joined the girls' track team at their high school. Lacefield noticed that Sterner often had trouble getting to and from activities because her family could only afford one vehicle, and her mom needed it to commute to her job.

Lacefield wanted to help, so she decided sell her own Jeep -- a graduation gift from her parents -- to buy her friend's family the second car they so desperately needed.

After some negotiation, her parents agreed to her plan, on the condition that she used the money to buy two, cheaper cars: one for her, one for her friend.

"For us, it was gonna be all on her. You find the cars, cut the deal and I'll sign the papers," Lacefield's father told NBCDFW.com. "My daughter wore me out."

In other feel-good stories this week, an incredibly brave high school student is making waves in his community for kicking butt on the football field less than a year after a leg amputation.

“It started hurting [during the game], but it was nothing I couldn't push through. The feeling of me being out there was overwhelming … taking my mind off the pain,” the teen explained to the Billings Gazette.

Another man who has been making waves this week -- both literally and figuratively -- is a primary teacher from India, who is so dedicated to his students that he apparently swims across a river every day to get to work.

"I've had a very busy summer in Los Angeles working on the show, but I've had both family and friends visit. My uncle visited from Bhutan with my aunt and cousins and we had a great time showing them all around Los Angeles. They brought three friends with them who had never been to the United States before. The daughter who is 17 years old, bought a last-minute ticket to the Justin Bieber concert and it was her first concert in the United States. It was a lot of fun watching someone see the United States for the first time.After they left, friends from Florida came to visit and we showed them around Los Angeles too. We visited a lot of sites around the city, including zip-lining in Venice Beach, hiking in Malibu, all the while singing at the top of our lungs in the car as our parents drove us around."
