“He touched my heart…I lost it. I’m crying like a baby,” Sheree Michele said.
The student of Eva Hilton Primary School forfeited lunch after his mother Daniella Joseph gave him $5. Three dollars was intended for lunch, and he was expected to return $2 to his mother. Instead, Liam purchased a heart balloon for his mother and purchased a pencil for $1.00. He then returned $2 to his mother.
“Because you’re important to me,” Liam told his mother when she asked him why he deprived himself of lunch.
