Children’s generosity knows no bounds, and in most cases, we should relate to them in terms of good deeds. Compassion, friendship, love: important feelings that a 5-year-old often knows better than a 35-year-old.
Sunshine Oelfke is a 5-year-old girl who became the fairy of the neighborhood where she lives and who won the hearts of many fellow citizens with a simple but loving gesture. The little girl opened her purse and emptied it of all her savings because she had to urgently help a schoolmate who was in trouble.
At the school where little Sunshine attends, each child is offered milk as a daily snack, but only if their parents have paid their canteen contributions. Some children may not receive the portion due to unstable and family financial situations. In the face of such situations, teachers can express compassion only when they are forced to refuse children’s milk. Sunshine Oelfke, however, did not want to give in to such an injustice and, on returning home, decided to donate all the savings to her good friend and schoolmate.
When Grandma Jackie saw that the little girl had emptied her purse, she asked her why. Her niece’s response made her cry. The little girl told him that she was going to take the money to school for milk, and her grandmother explained that she did not have to worry because probably her colleague’s parents had already paid the fee; At that moment, Sunshine looked at her grandmother and replied, “My friend’s mother has no money for milk, but I have.” Grandma then went out of her way to help Sunshine on her mission, sending the money to the teachers.
A gesture of great generosity that impressed the people of the community so much that a “small” fundraiser was organized (raising over $ 19,000!), So that no child in the school will ever be deprived of his milk ration.
