What would most eight year old kids do with $1000? Probably buy a lifetime supply of marshmallows or a bunch of video games.\u00a0 Not <\/span>Wyatt Erber, of <\/span>Edwardsville, Ill.\u00a0 He donated it to a young girl in the neighborhood diagnosed with leukemia!\u00a0 This young man knows how to pay it forward!
<\/span><\/p>\n

How did this cool kid win $1000?\u00a0 There was a summer-long scavenger hunt in their neighborhood that offered $1000 to the winner.\u00a0 When Wyatt heard about the scavenger hunt, he told his mom – <\/span>\u2018Let\u2019s do this to help Cara!\u2019\u201d.\u00a0 His mother, <\/span>Noelle Erber, said in an interview with Today.com : \u201cI remember thinking, \u2018Who am I to tell him that he might not win?\u2019\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, but he did win and immediately called Cara’s parents to give them the money.\u00a0 Cara’s parents were surprised and astonished from the complete selfless act from Wyatt.\u00a0 They stated that they could not receive the money from the child, but he insisted.
<\/span><\/p>\n

Wyatt asked his parents: <\/span>\u201cHow much chemotherapy will this buy Cara?\u201d.\u00a0 His parents are incredibly proud to have raised such a goodhearted son.\u00a0 Cara’s parents are forever grateful to Wyatt and his family.
<\/span><\/p>\n

What a beautiful story!\u00a0 This is not just good news, this is GREAT news \ud83d\ude42

Peace and Love,
