儿子售卖数千个奶酪牛排，只为了却妈妈的心愿



Last year, after Gloria Walker was told that she had late-stage(晚期) cancer, her son Dustin Vitale asked her, “If there’s one thing in the world you can do, what would it be?” She said, “I’d like to see the pyramids in Egypt.” “Ever since she was a little girl, she’s wanted to see them,” Vitale said. But she did not want to travel alone or just go with her husband, Tone. She wanted to go with her whole family.
Vitale, who works as a middle school teacher in Philadelphia could never afford to pay the trip expenses for 14 family members. So, he decided he could raise the money by selling cheese steaks(奶酪牛排).
Vitale said his campaign(活动) started on his Instagram story, which friends, family and his students helped to spread. Almost immediately cars started double-parking outside his house. Faces he didn’t recognize(认识) started showing up at his front door. “We ended up doing 94 in one day and we were like just surprised,” Vitale said.
A food truck driver offered his services and in just six weeks Vitale raised all the money he needed and then some. He had made $18,000. Their trip is planned for later this year. His mother says Vitale never had it so good. “The love, it’s great, you know,” she said.
