Thank goodness for the mailman, right?
Fortunately for this young boy his local mailman actually did change his life.
Mailman, Ron Lynch took notice that 12 year old Mathew Flores was always asking him for junk mail, newspapers, etc to read.
Well after Lynch learned that Mathew couldn’t afford books or even public transportation, he went to seek out help.
With the permission of Mathew’s mother, Lynch made a Facebook post to ask for donations for Mathew and his family.
As Bossip says about Lynch’s post,
“To both Lynch’s and Flores’ surprise, the post went viral and had over 8,000 likes and over 10,000 shares as of this afternoon.”
Mathew now has over 500 books, and may still receive more.
It’s great to see a community come together to help a child, hopefully many more similar things around the world will happen soon.
