This happened to my grandmother, she was an army nurse in WWII. After, she worked in hospitals, then schools. But one baby was born, still, they thought. She visited the baby in the morgue, only to notice light signs of life, she resuscitated that baby, and he went home healthy with his family a while later. 20 years after that, sometime in my very young childhood, I remember she was tracked down by that, now grown man, to be thanked, profusely, for being the one person who ensured he survived that day. I always thought out of all her heroics in life, that was the most important moment in her long career saving lives, saving that single baby who everyone else had given up on. My grandma was the best, and I was always proud of her awesomeness!

YAY

I love these guys ❤️

Wow, I hope Rebel gets a medal someday. I never knew Guide Runners existed. Such an amazing idea.

Upvote for the Grohl.

I love that the cop helped him. And I love even more that the boy felt he could approach cops for help.

my heart 😭

thanks willie!

I hope the administrators felt humbled.

"Can't afford a school lunch." So much wrong with that statement. So much. Shame.

Dystopia

Why do the powers that be in America seem to hate all Americans

Wow, that is f*cked up! That administration and school district should be ashamed of themselves. I'm so lucky I work at a school that offers free breakfast and lunch every day. Good on that kid!

How do you not feed kids? In California two meals a day are provided free to each kid, no questions asked. It's just ridiculous to charge kids for lunch.

Idaho just denied $14 million in federal aid for free lunches for poor kids and I hate my state and my country.

I was one of four daughters of our grammar school's custodian/janitor. We were poor and qualified for the free school lunch, which most teachers made us come up to their desk to collect the prepaid tickets every day and the rest of the class would know we were the poor ones. One wonderful teacher in the 6h grade, would wait until we lined up for lunch and then he'd quietly slip my week's worth of tickets into my hand. (Thank you Mr. Johnson, for giving me a little dignity.) More often than not, we would go to school hungry and that school lunch was the only thing we would have all day. If Mom wasn't having a mental episode, we might get some kind of dinner a few days out of the week. During the summer, we starved. Wild berries and cherries, grass, leaves, some viney plant that tasted like spinach. A lily/orchid, not sure, tasted bitter, I didn't try that again. Going to bed hungry was a common thing. I hated it. Bless this boy for providing for others, there aren't enough like him.

Dystopia stories rebranded as heartwarming

From out of the mouths of babes....!! FEED THE KIDS!

Free lunch and breakfast for EVERY student in MICHIGAN

Why didn't the administrators see that ALL children in their district get lunch? Were they too busy banning books from Library?

This speaks tons of the richest country in the world, who also does not think , it is a human right not to starve. 😢

Good kid, but it's a disgrace that he needs to do that.

He'll make a good man.

When I was a kid, back in the mid 70s, *every* schoolchild in Scotland got a free pint of milk to drink during their break. Of course, once Maggie Thatcher became Prime Minister she put a stop to it. "Thatcher the Milk Snatcher" she was known as.

Went to public school in the US. Our school always had free lunch. If you didn't have/forgot money or food they'd make you a sandwich. They still do this. I still remember in first grade a girl didn't like the lunch option so they made her a sandwich too.

Maybe they were too high to make lunch. I'm high right now, and just to provide context (uncommon in the thicket), I'm uncertain whose lunch I just ate-- which i'd rate: meh.

Always expecting the worst of the children in your care, way to go, must make them feel real safe.

We can learn a lot from kids

One would hope admin would have already known about THEIR students who could not afford lunch and eliminated the problem before students learned about it. How sad.

Always accusing!

Give that guy a pat on the back and then some.

Its pathetic that in this day and age that kids would go hungry in school.

"student risks suspicion to make sure classmates fed". There I fixed it.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww×

Stop this nonsense articles about kids in the USA not having lunches. I am from Europe and even the poorer families can afford food. If the parents are drug users and do not care about their kids, the social system steps in. These articles are just propaganda for stupid people. don´t believe it.

I have fix my broken relationship with my father. He may have a few flaws, yet he always there for me when I needed

His niece will worship him forever and on that day when they have to stand up in class and tell the room who is their hero, you know who she is going to name

oh hes so skinny, thank you for saving him!

When I was 24, I was homeless in a city with a high sexual assault rate. I would go to the library every few days and look for real estate listings for vacant houses in the area with fenced in yards. I would then sleep in one of the yards to hide myself from the crazies. I never went into the home or used the utilities. I kept to the yard and patio. Unbeknownst to me, a police officer had followed me a few times and saw me climbing over a fence. He stopped me one night as I was about to make my climb. Instead of arresting me, he took me to his home and gave me a safe place to sleep. He and his husband also sold me a 15 passenger van for $1000 and helped me convert it into a camper van. I lived in that van for three years and loved it. I still have it 15 years later.

Reminds me of "Never make fun of someone mispronouncing a word, it means they learned it by reading.:

That is a great drawing for 1st grade and such a sweet thoughtful thing of dad to do. I think any parent would keep it but brining it out for this occasion was simply gold.

you have to be a special kind of äss to call the department on a kid
