I was reading to third graders and always gave treats at the end of our story time. Most of the kids were so excited and loved the experience except one little one who kept putting his treat in his backpack. Which really made me wonder and ask the teacher what this little on was doing? To come find out this little angel was taking the treat to his little brother. He knew he wanted his little brother to enjoy the treat. After asking the teacher she told me that his family was having difficulty putting food on their table. This little boy didn't want any acknowledgment he just wanted his little brother to enjoy a cupcake. This little one changed my life and my path of my career.
Origin of my story was from a 3rd grader who showed my what was the biggest life lesson in kindness. We started helping the little boy in the story's family with food, and to date we help over 20,000 a year; helping school children and their families who have food insecurities in 5 school districts. These families are identified my the school personal, never by income.
