The mother posted that Dylan had asked her to make two lunches one day. Josette then asked him if he wasn’t getting full from his first lunch. Dylan responded that, yes, he was getting full, but that the second lunch was actually for another kid. He told his mother that the young boy only brought a fruit cup for lunch every single day. He didn’t think he had enough cash to buy lunch at the school, either, reports ABC13.
Josette ended up learning just what was going on with the little boy and his family. She said that the truth hit close to home, as she had experienced homelessness for a while herself. She told ABC13 that she and Dylan had lived in their car before and washed up in public bathrooms. She also knew what it was like to not have enough food to eat.
She began to get into the habit of packing two lunches every single day, one for her son and one for his classmate. Soon, the mother of the little boy figured out what was going on. That is when Josette got a call from the school, asking her to come in.
