What might be a “simple act of kindness” for one person could be a big deal for someone who really needed that heart-felt action.
Andrew Kirby is a high school sophomore in Boiling Springs, South Carolina. He has a condition called neurofibromatosis (something he was born with), and has needed many surgeries.
A result has been that Andrew is extremely shy and doesn’t have many friends. For years, he’s sat alone at lunch with no one to talk to. He’d usually just text with his mom, who worried about his during the lunch period. His mom would pray he would find just one other kid to sit with.
Well, during the first day of school this year, while sitting alone as he always did, a few members of the school’s student council noticed him alone.
Mama’s prayer worked, but Andrew didn’t just find one friend to sit with . . . he found TEN!
The teens invited Andrew to sit at their table, and he’s been sitting with his new friends every single day since.
Oh, and it doesn’t end with school lunches either . . . The group even went to a movie together just a few weeks ago, inviting Andrew along, too.
