    *when a tiny kid has more purpose in life than most of us grown up*

      That’s a good point. It’s a real challenge, too, isn’t it? I mean, he was working with several clear challenges, such as his age, his lack of funds, his need to rely on others, etc. But he still did something.

    Does anyone know where he is...what he's up to in life now? Praying he's been spared additional heartache and still spreading joy!

    Of all of the stories Steve hartman has covered I think this is my favorite. This little guy has turned his heartbreak into reaching out to others for joy. What an incredible lesson for a small child. God Bless him on his journey!
