N.25 Brenden Foster

KomoTV news story on Brenden Foster

this story is what gives me hope that there is still good left in this world.

the article isn’t long, give it a quick read. 

and because i know some of you won’t, here’s a quick synopsis.  Brenden Foster is an 11y/o boy from Seattle who was diagnosed with lukemia when he was 8.  he’s spent the last couple years fighting it valliantly, but to no avail.  so, facing his imminant death, what did wish for?

to help feed homeless people.  so, groups of people got together and organized a food drive, and passed out over 200 sandwiches to the homeless here in Seattle.  but that wasn’t it… soon people all over the country, hearing of Brenden’s wish, started to do the same, all in his name.

all of this happened within the last two weeks.

i remember reading about Brenden about 2 months ago in the paper.  even then i thought he was an amazing boy. 

well, he passed away on Friday morning.  and i’ve been sitting here crying for the last 10 minutes.  later today i’m going to go drop off 10 cans of soup i have at the local community center in his name.

maybe if more people see this they will do the same, and pass it on.  its time for a change, and not just from the president.
