This kind 8-year-old paid off his friend’s school lunch debt after he was denied food

If you feel like you have lost your faith in humanity, fear not, because eight-year-old Cayden Taipalus is here to restore it.

When this young man noticed that one of his friends was denied a warm meal at school, he decided to take matters in his own hands

Namely, one day, at the Challenger Elementary in Howell, Michigan, Cayden saw his friend being handed a sandwich instead of a hot meal due to insufficient funds in his lunch account. This broke his heart, and he knew he needed to make a difference.

Once home, Cayden was quick to share what he saw with his mother, telling her that the entire situation made him feel sort of sad. His mom, Amber Melke-Peters, agreed that they needed to do something in order to prevent things like that taking place in the future so the two came up with the idea of founding a fundraising webpage called: “Pay It Forward: No Kid Goes Hungry.”
