His mother, Amber Melke-Peters said, he went home that day and was clearly upset about the lunch situation. He confronted his mother and asked her how he could help his friends so this would never happen again.

That wasn’t all he did. Cayden went as far as going around and recycling so that he could raise a little bit of money on his own. A heart of gold indeed from someone so young.
After paying off his friends lunch debts, he requested that the lunch ladies would add funds into the children’s accounts who needed money so that they would never have to worry again.

“I am so very proud of my son,” Peters said. “He is only 8 years old and to grasp the concept around this is just amazing in my eyes. He has a heart of gold.”
His mother wasn’t just the only one proud… all the staff members at Challenger Elementary are in disbelief about this child’s actions. He went and made a difference so that his friends can eat with him.

What started off as something so small turned into something so big and has now ensured hundreds of children a hot dish to consume. A truly wonderful action from a caring child who I know will do big things in the future. A thank you from all of us Cayden, bless your beautiful heart.
