Son Asks For 2 Lunches Every Day, So Mom Follows Him To School
Josette Was Confused
Josette was stunned. All this time, she thought she was making lunch for her son, but instead, another person was eating it. This made absolutely no sense.
“Who are you giving it to?” she asked him. Josette prepared herself for the worst-case scenario: her son was getting bullied at school.
He Was Giving It To Someone Else
Josette’s heart was racing. Someone was taking advantage of her son and possibly hurting him, and she wasn’t there to protect him from the bullies.
Her worst nightmare came true. Bullying is one of the worst teenage problems, and she always feared Dylan would one day become a victim of it.
He Wanted To Help His Friend
Josette had a lump in her throat, but before she could say anything, Dylan finally revealed the truth. He told her the reason for asking her to make an extra lunch wasn’t because he was hungry but so that his friend could have it.
Dylan started noticing that one of his classmates only had a fruit cup for lunch, and he couldn’t figure out why.
He Couldn’t Afford A Meal
After some time, he realized his friend’s family simply couldn’t afford to provide him with a proper lunch. Dylan couldn’t stand seeing the boy starving at lunchtime and decided to help him out.
At first, he didn’t feel comfortable telling his mother, as he wasn’t sure how she would react.
She Felt So Proud Of Her Son
When Josette learned the truth, her eyes filled with tears of happiness. She felt so proud of her son. Dylan always puts others before himself, and helping people makes him happy.
Josette and her son know how difficult it is to ask for help. A few years ago, they were living on the streets.
They Used To Be Homeless
When they used to be homeless, asking for help made Dylan and his mom feel embarrassed and ashamed.
They isolated themselves from the rest of their family members, as they didn’t want them to know the truth. They got through these difficult times on their own. Josette still remembers it as if it was yesterday.
