Lunch for Two
When Josette Duran of Albuquerque, New Mexico, learned from her son that another student in his school brought nothing but a fruit cup to school every day for lunch, she began packing two lunches so that her son could feed his friend.
According to Duran’s son, Dylan, the boy’s mother lost her job and was unable to buy enough food for the family. The best she could do was provide her son a fruit cup to serve as his lunch.
But the boy did not go without a wholesome lunch for long, CBS News reported. Duran began to pack two drinks, two sandwiches, two snacks, and two pieces of fruit so that her son could give one of each to his friend. She also included a note in which she wished both her son and his friend a good day at school. This went on for two months.
