Boy, 8, donates $1,000 prize to little girl, 2, with leukemia

Wyatt ,8, was told by his mother about the First Clover Leaf Bank’s summer Scavenger Hunt. The winner would receive a cool $1,000! Immediately he said  "Let’s do this to help Cara!" Cara Kielty is a 2 year old girl who lives on the same block as Wyatt and she was diagnosed with Leukemia in May of this year. With the inspiration of doing something completely free of self benefit, Wyatt won the scavenger hunt. He immediately called Cara's mom and said "I won!" she replied "No you didn't" He insisted "Yes I did!" She responded "No you didn't--You're joking" then he said "Here! Talk to my mom". Once the Kielty's realized Wyatt did actually win they couldn't imagine taking money from a 8 year old. Trisha Kielty said “My husband said the same thing. We’re adults — that would be ridiculous, right?” But once Wyatt won he asked his parents “How much chemotherapy will this buy Cara?” After much persuasion the Kielty's realized how much this meant to Wyatt to be able to help. “I didn’t know what I would do with $1,000,” Wyatt said. “But I knew what (the Kieltys) could do with it. I knew they weren’t getting a lot of work done, because they were taking care of Cara all the time.”...........This shows us the power and ability we have and the things we can achieve if from time to time we would just take ourselves out of the equation and do something for someone else. No one told this 8 year old boy that he had to do it, he saw someone in need and acted on it. Let's learn from Wyatt and do the same for someone this week!
