A Dying Child's Last Wish
At the age of eleven years old, Brenden Foster was told he had two weeks to live. On his way back from the hospital he saw homeless people in the street who were hungry. He wanted to spend the last two weeks of his life giving to them but he didn’t have the strength. So he called on his loved ones to help. News of this has spread across the country where people are giving to the homeless with notes that say “Love Brendan.”
This is so humbling and so amazing. I know his mother says in the video that he never complained which also goes to show what a gentle heart this young man had. I do think it’s important for people to remember that everyone has their own of dying and most of us need to complain. That’s part of a very real process. Regardless of any of that, we can all learn from Brendan. A heart with so much light and so much love!

It’s so touching that an 11-year old, although dying still has a heart that goes out to the needy and homeless. Everyday we pass by such people without even caring to look at them.
I only wish his inspiration will last. The needy really need our help always. Let’s help and care for them. They are our responsibility.
Brenden, go in peace! I Love You!
