Man Helps Cheer Sick Kids With Leftover Crayons From Schools And Restaurants

Every year, thousands of pounds of crayons are thrown away by restaurants and schools. He and his small group of volunteers collect the crayons from schools and restaurants. They melt the crayons down and and pour them into special custom molds. They are thicker than the average crayon. the reason they are thicker is so young children and kids with special needs can hold onto them easier. When they are ready they are boxed and delivered to children’s hospitals throughout california. Since starting, they’ve delivered over 2000 boxes. over the past month, Bryan says he is “sincerely blown away” by the positive response his project has received on social media.

"STORY TIME: Meet my favorite 2nd grader! At school, I cross paths with this adorable 2nd grader. On my first day, I met Reagan. She saw my arm before I saw hers. She had a surprised face look and took her arm out to wave to me. Little did she know, I would be a teacher at her school! Every time we see each other, we do the nub wave. I love seeing how proud she is of her arm.

Recently, I was able to pass down an adaptive equipment. I remember when I would get something adaptive made for me and how much that meant to me. I am proud to announce our new bike owner, Reagen! 🚴 Now let’s get more para athletes out there! Reagan, dream big! Don’t ever let equipment stop you from doing what you love. Yes, my old bike fits a 2nd grader." 😂
