The Birthday Money He Gave Away

Hey, my friend,

I came across a story recently that made me smile, and I thought you would like to hear it.

In Chicago, there is an 8-year-old boy named Mateo.

On his birthday, he received $23, a small amount that most children might have spent on toys or treats for themselves.

But Mateo chose to do something different.

He saw a woman selling candy on the street who had very little, and he decided to give her all of his birthday money.

His mother, Daniela, captured the moment on video and shared it online.

The video quickly spread across social media, and people everywhere were touched by the kindness of a little boy who thought of someone else before himself.

Mateo’s simple act reminded everyone that generosity does not depend on how much we have, but on how willing we are to care.

The story inspired many people to follow his example, supporting him in helping others in need and spreading small acts of kindness in their own lives.

It is a reminder that even small gestures, when done with an open heart, can ripple outward in ways we might never expect.

Reading about Mateo makes me think that compassion can show up anywhere and even in the simplest form, if we’re willing to show it.

I hope reading this story brings a smile to your day and reminds you that simple kindness has the power to brighten the world around us.

Wishing you a peaceful and wonderful day, my friend.

That is it for today, and see you tomorrow.

Take care,
