Retiree pays college tuition for undocumented student

January 16, 2012 (1 min read)

"A retired subway conductor was so touched by a Daily News story on a struggling immigrant college student that he decided to donate to her tuition fund-raiser.  But Luis Hernandez pledged a lot more than the $5 a person that Angy Rivera hoped for — he paid off the whole $2,500 bill." - Erica Pearson, NY Daily News, Jan. 11, 2012.

Angy Rivera, 21, a John Jay College criminology student, had her tuition paid by a Good Samaritan after story in The News. Retired MTA worker Luis Hernandez said he was just happy to help Rivera, an undocumented immigrant, by paying her $2,500 bill.
