Brenden Foster

After seeing a group of homeless people on his way home from a doctor's appointment, terminally ill eleven-year-old Brendan Foster became determined to help feed them. Foster was bedridden and to weak to help the homeless himself, but friends and neighbors took up his cause and volunteered to make sandwiches for hungry Seattle residents. Foster's story spread and resulted in food drives across the country in late November of 2008.ABC News: Dying Boy Makes Final Wish to Feed Homeless (November 24, 2008)
