I bought those #PopTarts because our kitchen is being repaired and all our meals are coming from the microwave and the toaster at the moment. I guess he saw how many we had and figured we had plenty to share! 😁— Elisa Stone Leahy (@ElisaStoneLeahy) April 14, 2022
Are you saying aww already? Well, this next tweet in the thread about another incident involving the kid may leave you even more emotional. “He’s 13, a man of few words, a bit of a prankster, very sweet. A few years ago someone gave him $100 as a gift when he started cancer treatment. He asked to go buy Lego sets that he could give to other kids in the hospital. 5 years later, he’s just as sweet and no signs of cancer,” they mom wrote. She then added this tweet urging people to donate to their local food pantries.
This story really captures him and I’m glad everyone is enjoying it! I know it’s getting a lot of attention so if you want to go donate some pop tarts or some thing else to your local food pantry, we would love that! Food pantries have gotten our family through some rough times.— Elisa Stone Leahy (@ElisaStoneLeahy) April 14, 2022
