Boy asks mom to make two lunches – She couldn’t believe when the boy told the truth
So, when this mom from New Mexico was asked by her 14-year-old son Dylan if she could make him two lunches she raised an eyebrow but just presumed the lunches she was making wasn’t enough food for her growing boy. It wasn’t until she quizzed him that she realized this request was not for himself
“About the second week that school started this year, I was making Dylan’s lunch in the morning and out of nowhere, he said ‘Mama, can you make two lunches?’” the New Mexico mom said.
“I said, ‘Why, are you not getting full enough?’ Dylan said, ‘No, there’s a little boy at school. He only eats a fruit cup. [He has] no money. Can you make two lunches?’ I said, ‘Sure.’”
It later transpired that the boy’s mom was a single mom who had recently lost her job.
“This hits home to me because a few years ago, me and my son were homeless,” Josette said. “I was living in my car and I was washing him in bathrooms. And we didn’t have food.”
Josette continued to make Dylan and his friend lunches each day, even including fun notes of encouragement.
Josette, also a single mom, was even called into the school principal’s office where the boy’s mom wanted to personally thank her for helping her son during their time of need.
The mom told Josette that she had got back on her feet and wanted to repay her for the food she had donated for her son but Josette refused to take the woman’s money. Instead as coach of the school girls’ volley team Josette decided to organize a fundraiser to help other children whose families couldn’t afford school lunches. The fundraiser secured $400 for the school. “So now, nobody in that school owes any money, and now everyone can eat,” Josette said. Find out more about this kind-hearted woman in the clip below.
