She\u2019d get me a prettier scarf than you have!

It was filled with gloves and scarves, with a placard beside it that read: \u201cIf you feel cold, get something for yourself from here. I\u2019d appreciate it. \u2014 Derek, the school bus driver.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The night after helping Aiden, Derek couldn\u2019t sleep well, thinking about the other kids who might be in the same position as Aiden. So he bought more scarves and gloves after receiving his salary, filled a box with the purchases, and left it on the school campus.<\/p>\n<p>The school principal and several parents appreciated what he did, and Derek was felicitated in front of the whole school. Soon, his pay increased too. But that\u2019s not where it all ended.<\/p>\n<p>The school started a fund to help children from financially challenged backgrounds. Miraculously, a pair of gloves, a scarf, and a bus driver\u2019s kind heart made the wonderful initiative possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A school bus driver notices a little boy crying in the backseat of his bus and spends his last dollar to aid him, not knowing his kindness&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>As I was about to get down from the bus, I heard a sob and stopped.
