One article reports that over 75 percent of schools in the United States have meal debt(债务).
One day Sarah saw an online video about paying electric bills for others. A person commented(评论) that paying off school lunch debts was also a good way to help others, and Sarah loved the idea. She decided to use some of her own money to do just that, starting with the school right across the street from her apartment. She recorded a video of herself calling the school to ask how much debt they have, then posted it on the Internet to tell others about both the situation and her plan. The video really took off! Over a million people watched Sarah’s video! Thousands of people agreed with her, and a few were moved to tears by her kindness. For others, her video brought back sad memories of their own hungry school days.
In a follow-up video, Sarah went to the school and wrote a check for over $1,000 to bring their school lunch debt to zero. “We did it,” Sarah tells the camera as she leaves the school. “Who’s next? Let’s go.”
Sarah loves doing that so much, and she doesn’t want to stop anytime soon. She was especially encouraged when she learned that a stranger(陌生人) sent her $1,700 to pay off another school’s lunch bill! Sarah is doing what she can to help the schools. No child should go hungry because they can’t afford food. I hope sharing her story encourages others to do what they can do to help others, too.
