A Little Bit of Awesome: 6/2/2020 Edition

There’s a nine-year-old kid in England with cerebral palsy named Tobias Weller. And he wanted to walk for charity after he was inspired by Captain Tom Moore’s charity walk. So he started walking back and forth in front of his house . . . did the length of a MARATHON in 70 days . . . and raised $100,000. He finished the final leg of it the other day.


A family in Oklahoma City who were homeless until 2018 are using the crisis as a chance to give back. They got some help from a group called Positive Tomorrows when the mom lost her job during the outbreak. But it was more money than they really needed. So they used the rest to buy blankets and feed hundreds of homeless people. The mom and one of her daughters talked about it, and said their next project is school supplies. Check out the full story RIGHT HERE.


A middle school in Minneapolis was already struggling to make sure students got enough to eat during the pandemic. Then the grocery stores were looted during the protests. So they put out a request, hoping to get 85 meal kits donated . . . and THOUSANDS of people answered the call. By Sunday morning, the entire front lawn of the school was covered with bags of food. One of the organizers said a parent came up with the idea, and volunteers from a child hunger charity showed up to help deal with all the donations.
