Kid of the Week: Thomas Lee
What inspired you to take action to help people who are homeless?
Mrs. Han, the leader of the Harvard Homeless Mission, told me a very touching story about a homeless man who cried after receiving a care package. When I heard how something simple could change someone’s day and make them feel they are cared for, I wanted to help in any small way I could.
Can you tell us about the impact of your work?
So far, I’ve made more than 600 packages and hand-delivered them to homeless people on the streets of Boston.
Can you share a memorable experience?
There are many memorable moments, but I feel happy when people thank me with a smile after I give them food or a care package. It reminds me that the work that I’m doing is important and that it’s making a difference.
