Kudos to this incredible young man.
Having become indigent for several years when my ex-husbands wealthy family paid all his legal fees in repeatedly suing and pounding me into poverty, I can honestly speak from experience as a mother of 3 children who suffered in poverty during those years it is absolutely OUTRAGEUS that any child in America is NOT served lunch.
I am extremely lucky I "made it," but my children and I have NEVER forgotten those days. Every time I see a story like this i just shake.
There should be absolutely no social order associated with school lunches anywhere in this country. ALL school lunches in America should be offered at NO CHARGE as part of our school curriculum. I would GLADLY support tax increases to cover the costs of a nationally required program to feed, at no charge, all children in our schools for lunch. And in a balanced program, children can still be make "choices"--green beans or peas, chicken, eat or fish--they choose-- white milk, chocolate milk, what kind of juice, Jello , pudding or graham crackers as a light desert, etc etc etc--so the child fees like he can have some individuality while the school maintains variety would be great. None of us cannot expect a hungry, impoverished child to learn anything while operating on an empty stomach--or while being ridiculed because the child has to present a voucher or the as*hole "cashier" loudly turns the child away for an overdrawn account or lack of funds. In this day and age the fact this has still not been addressed is beyond my comprehension:

Cayden, an 8-year-old, took action when his friend was denied a hot meal at school due to school lunch debt. Cayden, with the support of his mom, initiated a fundraiser called "No Child Goes Hungry" to assist students who were facing meal challenges. Through his efforts, Cayden successfully raised over $40,000, showcasing his inspiring generosity and compassion.
