I know the story is about a week old, but I wanted to post it nonetheless.
An 11-year-old Ohio boy is helping ease his family’s financial burdens, one toy at a time.
Zach McGuire is selling his toys to raise money for his family, which like others across the country, has bills piling up and a home in jeopardy.
The youth said the idea came up during a conversation with his father.
“You can’t live in toys, or eat toys,” he told CNN television affiliate WNWO. “Even though they are fun, you don’t need them.”
Zach plans to use the proceeds for a good cause: helping his unemployed father.
But it turns out the kid has had a big heart for a while . . .
It’s not the first time Zach has helped those in need. In 2005, he sold Kool-Aid for victims of Hurricane Katrina and raised $400. A few years later, it was “Cocoa for California,” which he sold to help wildfire victims.
that is such a heart-warming story. what a commendable young man.
