Boy Who Gave Soldier $20 He Found Wins High Honor (WATCH)
The Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation presented a special award to a 10-year-old boy who inspired a nation with a selfless gift to a soldier.
When a neighbor's expensive wheelchair was stolen, an eighth-grader raised the money to replace it in a single day. Watch him get a big hug in return.
When a neighbor's expensive wheelchair was stolen, Ryan Czech wanted to help — but how much of a difference can an eighth-grader make? It turns out, he was able to buy her a new chair within a single day.
His 10-year-old neighbor, Jerylyn, has Cerebral Palsy and needs a stroller-style wheelchair to get around. They're expensive — more than $2,300.
Ryan's mother helped him set up a GoFundMe page to raise the money and in just 24 hours, his page had raised more than enough — a total of $2,763 before the campaign was closed.
"We met our goal and Jerylyn will get her new orange wheelchair/stroller," Czech posted on the fundraising page. "We can't wait. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts."
