A San Antonio man was motivated by frustration after reading several Facebook comments that mocked a photo showing low-income children using the back of a pick-up truck as a swimming pool.

Through Facebook and GoFundMe, he has raised nearly $8,000, so far.
Enthusiasm has overtaken him—he’s dedicated three weeks of his vacation time to the project.
“We started out wanting to help five families,” he wrote in an update to his campaign. “We are at the point of helping 24 families now. I will continue all summer to raise money to buy as many pools that we possibly can for kids.”
