Felt like sharing some light this beautiful Sunday….

This Is Domenique (pic posted with his permission). He is 16 years old, a long time patient and the most bullied kid I have ever met. Broken teeth, broken glasses, broken clavicle and numerous bruises and black eye between one middle school and two high schools. Last week he came to my husband and I for a donation. There are 18 kids at his high school who have unpaid cafeteria balances. He was raising money to pay off those balances and pay for all 18 kids to have breakfast & lunch every day for the last month of school. Two of the 18 were his previous bullies. When we asked him why he would want to raise money for the kids who had bullied him he said, “I know I get mad and irritable when I’m hungry. Why would they be any different.” 🥹

Not all hero's wear capes

bullying at school is the beginning and end of why we have gun violence in school

True, but I also think when you have parents who are highly involved in their kids lives and willing to do whatever they can to support the child, you see some amazing, resilient, strong minded adults on the other side.

If he’s ever looking for work in central Oregon, he’s got a job at my company any time.

Well this just warmed my heart.

I know. My husband couldn’t even speak after that. He just stroked the check.

Thank you generous zappers, but I wanted everyone to know we got him to his goal so no need to zap.

I will set him up with a bitcoin wallet and send him all sats received on this note. I haven’t discussed Bitcoin with him yet, but he has an entrepreneurial spirit (he had a deal with his school lunch ladies to buy the chips and cookies at a discount at the end of lunch and resells them at 2x his cost to his classmates). I know he will be excited about the orange pill 🧡

Thank you!

Inspiring! Keep us posted on his orange journey!
