Money problems meant that Tyran wouldn’t be enjoying summer camp or lounging around the pool like many kids take for granted when they get out of school – there just wasn’t any way the family finances would allow for such a thing.
A community made an A+ effort to help a Wilmington, North Carolina boy whose family was facing challenges.
Tyran Bell, whose mother Tara Lewis had been experiencing financial difficulties, offered to mow lawns in his neighborhood so he could buy school supplies. As word of the 10-year-old’s story spread, people jumped to donate items to the boy, ABC News reported.
And now, Tyran has enough school supplies for an entire school year
And it’s not just Tyran’s mother who has noticed this about him. Theresa Babb, owner of A1 Security Services LLC in Wilmington, said she was moved by a Facebook post about Tyran’s efforts.
“Here’s a little boy that’s taking the rest of the summer and you can tell he’s concerned and he’s worried about his mom having to buy it and it just spoke to me,” said Babb. “Such an amazing kid should have help.”
Babb said she’s helping by making her business a drop-off location for people to donate clothing and school supplies for Tyran. Her business is located at 5101 Dunlea Court Suite 201. She said excess donations will be given to other local children.
Bell said he doesn’t want to stop working of his money and he plans on giving any extra donations he gets to other kids as well.
“Tyran has always been the kind of person that wants to give and do things for other people,” said Lewis. “So I think it’s a blessing because now that someone has been able to bless him, he’s able to bless somebody else.”
