A Mississippi elementary school wanted to keep handing out free meals to kids this summer through a program called Backpack Buddies, but they didn’t have enough food until an influencer named Matthew Bounds stepped in to help. He posts recipes on TikTok and has an account called Your Barefoot Neighbor with 1.4 million followers. As soon as he posted something about it, food donations started flooding in. They created an Amazon wish list, and in just 15 minutes, his followers bought everything the school needed for the entire summer………………. A kid from Long Island is heading off to NYU this year.  Which wouldn’t be news, except he’s only TWELVE.  His name is Suborno Bari.  He skipped 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 11th grade.  He plans to study math and physics………………And finally………….. 

An AZ Uber Eats driver left a note on a woman’s Chipotle bag about how he was driving on the side to give his fiancée the “wedding she deserves.”  Now he can.  The lady he delivered to posted his note on TikTok, along with his Venmo, and it’s been viewed over 30 MILLION times, and donations have flooded in.  Chipotle got in on it and tossed them $500, and they also said they want to help with the wedding too, so maybe they’re catering it? The grand total isn’t clear, but he’s gotten enough donations to cover the wedding and more. He and his fiancée gave the customer a nice $1,000 kickback to say thanks, and she also got an invite to their wedding this September.
