TL;DR Summary

NFL player Terron Armstead and others gifted Xavier Jones and his family a car and a bike after he walked six miles to his middle school graduation. Jones, who was rewarded with a full-ride scholarship to Harris-Stowe State University, was being raised by his disabled grandfather after his mother passed away a few years ago. Armstead, who has been investing in his hometown for the last 10 years, heard about Jones' journey and wanted to take action quickly. The gift brought hugs and happiness to the high school, and Jones has a message for others: "Stay in school... do your best."
