Sincerely, Hueman: Stories of Kindness and Doing Good
Society & Culture:Personal Journals
In New York City, 5 teenage girls are working on an app that would help kids pay for school lunch they can't afford.
Alyssa Kapasi, a 17-year old highschool student, rallied her friends to create Food For Thought, an app that would allow parents (and even strangers) to anonymously pay for a 2 to 3 dollar meal for another child in their community. In America, nearly 13 million children live in food insecure households and 76% of school districts have school lunch debt. Kids are shamed with waterproof stamps that visibly read "I need lunch money", forced to clean tables or are sent to detention for not being able to afford a school meal.
