Boy Asks Friends for Food, Not Toys on Birthday


What an inspiring story this is. Five-year-old Jackson Mayberry in Nebraska decided that he has enough toys so instead asked friends to donate food to a local pantry for his birthday. Food pantries everywhere are having a rough time keeping up with demand, and some can thank this little altruist for helping make a tiny dent.

  1. Wow, what an amazing little boy. A 5 years old can help, just to show you that we can all make a difference.

    Thank you for the story, it warms my heart.
