KUALA LUMPUR, March 3 — An eight-year-old boy has won social media praises after he helped to raise nearly US$50,000 for a waiter facing financial difficulties.“Devonte said he wondered if anyone might know where he could buy a cheap car — he’d been having a hard time saving for one,” Washington Post quoted Kayzen as saying.
He was also living in a motel room with his wife and two daughters after they had to move out of an apartment that was infested with rats and contaminated with black mould. But when the local news station found out, donations began to pour in, and the fund quickly soared to more than US$30,000 — enough for a car and to pay for an apartment for Gardner’s family for the next year, she said.
“I started crying — I’d been quietly struggling and didn’t want to ask anybody for anything,” he said, explaining that he uses most of his tips to pay his family’s US$60 per day motel bill.
