    The students gave Courtney Vashaw nearly $8,000 to go toward her treatment.

    A week after telling her students her diagnosis, they knew they had to do something. The senior class all took a vote and decided she deserved every penny of their trip money they'd been saving up for the past four years.

    And yes, that vote was unanimous.

    Class treasurer Ian Baker told WMUR 9, "She's very caring, very selfless, and we wanted to be selfless too."

    Group hug! And what an incredible group of students.

    BuzzFeed has reached out to Vashaw for comment. She is currently on medical leave.

    Middle school teacher Alex LaCasse of Seattle, has created a Crowdrise campaign to get these kids the trip they deserve! You can check it out here. Yassss!
