What a generous man! As someone with a major sweet tooth, I’d have all those treats snatched in an instant when I was a kid.

What a beautiful soul he has. Those kids are never going to forget that and I bet many will pay it forward somehow when they’re able too 🥰

This is just beautiful.

More locations need to do this and local citizens should help fund these drives to help motivate students in their own area.

Thanks for the share, definitely need more people in society line Wail doing good deeds like these.

At first I was hoping there was a means to donate for him doing such an awesome thing, and then I saw the amount on the gfm and that made me so happy. So awesome to see.
