ROANOKE, Va. (WTVR) – A Radford University student has a newly-restored car after it was vandalized several times with gay slurs.

Jordan Addison told WDBJ that his car was vandalized four times between March and May. In one of the incidents, someone keyed “dye” into the side of the vehicle because Addison is gay.

Addison said no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get rid of the slurs entirely. The lowest estimate he received to fix the car was $2,500, which he said he couldn’t afford.

However, a few Roanoke businesses heard what happened and pitched in to fix the damage for free.

3. What a great story!

It reaffirms my belief there are many more good, caring people than there are creeps like those who vandalized Jordan's car.

Thanks for posting this, it is very uplifting!

5. Vandalizing someone's car is an act of cowardice

And the body shop guys who fixed it free performed an act of valor.
