Dads give beloved crossing guard awesome surprise

Twice a day, for hours at a time, Nathaniel Kendrick dons his luminescent vest to help keep the children of Lakewood Elementary School safe.

Kendrick, better known as "Mr. Kent" to the students, began working as the school's crossing guard a decade ago and loves every minute of it.

"It's wonderful; I enjoy it," Kendrick says.

He's a man who cares for children, while at the same time caring for his sick wife as her health, and their finances, deteriorate.

"My mother told me long before she passed, 'Take care of your wife.' So I try my best," Kendrick explains.

But despite his best efforts, he continues to fall on hard times.

As word spread of Kendrick's situation, a group of dads who are part of the Friends of Lakewood community group got together to brainstorm a solution. What they came up with is quite simply amazing.

Watch the video above to see the surprise that shocked Kendrick to the point of speechlessness.
