What one 5-year-old boy did with 7 months worth of his allowance money will melt your heart!
William Evertz Jr., inspired by watching a video about helping the homeless, decided to use his hard-earned chores money to create what he called “Kindness Day.”
According to The Blaze, William spent the day helping people in his community:
The first thing he did was head to Subway restaurant to get sandwiches for police officers in Winslow Township, a suburb of Philadelphia.
His mother said he told her he wanted the officers to rest so they could protect the town.
“Cause they keep us safe,” William told KYW when asked about his fondness for police.
After lunch William planned to drop off toys and school supplies to kids at a domestic violence shelter, deliver food to the animal shelter and give a less-fortunate family $25 from his allowance to help with daycare.
Police made the boy an honorary officer and gave him a special shirt and badges. He also got a ride home in a police car with lights and siren.
With young kids like William, I find much-needed hope for the future!
I think we all need to put some time and effort into creating a “Kindness Day” in our own lives. Pay it forward!
