When a freshman was being bullied for wearing the same clothes to school, day after day, a couple classmates stepped in to help.
Michael Todd has been bullied his entire life for wearing the same clothes over and over again.
“I really don’t have clothes at home. My mom can’t buy clothes for me because I’m growing too fast.”
Other students at MLK College Preparatory School didn’t understand, and straight up bullied Michael.
One day, during third period, Michael was taken out of class and met with a truly kind-hearted and blessed surprise.
Two of the football players at the Memphis-area high school, Kristopher Graham and Antwan Garrett, handed Michael a gift.
Inside the gift were bags full of shirts, shorts and shoes.
Michael told a Memphis news outlet that it was “the best day of my entire life basically.”
Of the gift giving moment, Kristopher said, “He wasn’t smiling or anything and I was like, ‘I think this is going to make you smile.’ I told him, ‘we’re in the same third period and I apologize for laughing at you and I want to give something to you to make it up.’”
After Kristopher realized what Michael was going through, and how others would laugh at him and bully him, he knew he had to do something, so the teen went through his own closet and grabbed a bunch of clothes before texting his friend Antwan to hit up his closet and do the same.
Kristpher also shared, “And then I cried at lunch when he said, ‘you two are the only ones to give me a gift.”
Michael told his kind-hearted new friends, “You guys are the best guys of my entire life.”
