An 8-year-old Michigan boy named Cayden Taipalus has a heart of pure gold. Third-grader Cayden, who attends Challenger Elementary School in Howell,

recently made the decision to act independently after noticing that his friend was refused a hot lunch at school because he lacked funds in his account.

When Cayden observed that his friend was given a cheese sandwich rather than a heated lunch because his account was short, he was upset.

Cayden’s mother, Amber Melke-Peters, claimed that he was obviously still angry when he got home from school on that particular day.

In order to prevent having to witness something similar happening again, he asked his mother how he could assist his friend.

At that point, Cayden created the ‘Pay It Forward: No Kids Goes Hungry’ fundraiser website.

Cayden created a website and then asked his neighbors, relatives, and friends to contribute to a fundraising effort to settle his debt for his friend’s lunches.

Cayden continued after it as well! He even went around recycling in order to generate some little amounts of money on his own.

After clearing his friends’ lunch debts, Cayden requested that the lunch ladies add money to the accounts of the kids who still owed money so that their parents wouldn’t ever have to worry.

Over 300 pupils have received hot meals thanks to Cayden’s fundraising of almost $7,000 for the cause.

He wants to keep doing this so that no kid will ever again be denied a hot meal.
Amber exclaimed, ‘I am so incredibly proud of my baby.’

’He’s only eight years old, so I find it incredible that he understands this notion. He has a pure heart.’
