This sweet story will warm your heart.
Two middle-schoolers in Buffalo, New York have gone viral for a touching act of kindness.
Once he explained the situation to his mother later that day, he asked if they could go to a shoe store in order to find a new pair of sneakers that Mello could give to Melvin. The 12-year-old offered up his allowance money to pay for the shoes, even suggesting that one of his Christmas presents could get taken away so he could purchase a new pair of shoes for his friend instead.
“I said ‘Call Mello’ and Mello came and explained to me that he bought them with his allowance,” Brown said. Brown, Mello and Melvin’s family have been blown away by the response to the story. It even caught the attention of Dakarai Singletary, the founder of the local organization Candles in the S.U.N., who will be taking the two boys a Buffalo Bills game in November to celebrate the good deed.
Anderson just hopes that the kindness of the situation between his son and his friend is “contagious.”
