Mailman, Ron Lynch, was delivering a package to the home of Matthew Flores when he noticed that the young boy was reading flyer ads. He was even more surprised when the boy asked him if he had extra junk mail that he could read.
He wrote:
“Facebook friends…This is Matthew Flores. Today while delivering mail to his apartment complex, I saw him reading ads, and then he asked me if I had any extra mail he could read. He told me his wish is to have books to read. I told him the library had many, but he said they don’t have a car, and couldn’t afford the bus. So…let’s get this 12 year old some books! Let’s help him. I was given many books as a child, and it’s time to help someone else.He asked if they could help him get some books for the 12-year-old. It was just a few days after that books began arriving from all over the country and as far away as the U.K., Australia and India!
Matthew was stunned by all the deliveries. His bookcase is now overflowing with books!”“Friends… I’m stunned and humbled by what happened. I deserve little credit. It’s all of you who cared enough to do something about it that are the true heroes of this story.”
“Matthew is thrilled and we’re all overwhelmed,” he added. “Bless you all, and thank you all so much!”
