Devonte Gardner and Kayzen Hunter
An 8-year-old boy in Arkansas has raised more than $44,000 for his favorite waiter. people.com/...
This the story of a waiter who brings joy to work and his customers everyday, and a young gentleman who believes in, “Pay it forward.” They became friends when Kayzen’s family began breakfasting weekly at a Little Rock Waffle House.
As it happens (and brother does it), there was sorrow lurking in the background.
Devonte, his wife and two daughters had fallen on hard times.
Their previous home had become infested with rats and black mold contamination, causing their kids to become sick.
So, Devonte up and moved them into a motel. We’re talking 60 bucks a day. He had no transportation and not much of a chance of getting any due to the rent and all of life’s other neccessities . But he had wondered, aloud, about the prospect of finding something cheap enough to afford.
This set Kayzen off, and with the help of his mom, he created a GoFundMe. Voilà, people have responded wonderfully.
Happy ending. But what really got me was this:
Kayzen, along with his parents, is also feeling gratitude. "It just feels good to help someone else," he told the outlet. His dad, Korey Hunter, added: "Kayzen does not want anything in return . Just wants other people to pay it forward ."
“Pay it forward.” Pass it along.
Take it from the mighty, Kayzen:
"It just feels good to help someone else,"
Apparently, that’s reward enough.
