Ryan Kyote, 9, has long had a passion for helping others.
Since the start of the academic year at West Park Elementary School in Napa, California, Kyote had been using his lunch card to buy meals for students who could not afford to eat. But last month the boy decided to take his kindness a step further.
After learning a 5-year-old in Indiana was denied lunch because they were unable to pay for the meal, Kyote decided to use six months of allowance he had saved up to pay off the school lunch debt for his third-grade classmates.
