The admin team at the high school was meeting today and the counselors said that we had a new kid start school this week and he’s worn the same sweatshirt every day. When the counselor asked him how he and his family were doing he said,”it’s hard. I have several brothers and sisters and we don’t have any money. I saw him in the hallway later in the morning and asked him if he would come see me (he thought he was in trouble). I told him I just wanted to talk to him. He came by at lunch and I gave him a gift card. He took it and I said,”it’s a $50 gift card.” He looked up with a huge smile and with an elevated voice said,”REALLY!!!” I said,”yes! Use it and go get another sweatshirt or whatever you need!” He said, “thanks” 3 different times and left with a huge smile on his face!
Thank you to those who are able to join us in blessing these kids!
