This 6 Year Old Was Called Up To Face The Entire School, And Her Teacher Couldn’t Hold Back The Tear

this six-year-old was called up to face the entire school and her teacher couldn't hold back the tears [Music] [Applause] [Music] Alea Robinson is certainly not your typical child not only is she adorable but the six-year-old also has an incredible passion to help people and it's a passion that recently caught the attention of national media little Alya didn't have the easiest start in life because her birth mother was a drug addict she was placed in foster homes for a young age and in an interview with Oklahoma news channel K fo r she described the experience as not very fun the little girl was later adopted by the Robinson family of Oklahoma and well Alya found herself a family at long last in return the Robinsons were quickly realizing just how special she was in January 2017 her foster mom Misti Robinson told K fo r Howell I had been saving up birthday and Christmas money for a new Barbie toy but when disaster struck another family Alya showed incredible compassion not long after a liya celebrated her birthday in fact a tornado flattened another family's home and the generous little girl decided she wanted to give all of her savings to them instead but this was just the start of elías plight to help others next Alya turned her attention to helping kids in foster care specifically she wanted to help children in the care of the Oklahoma Department of Human Services DHHS and it all started with some lemons indeed when she was just five years old Alya started raising money for these foster kids by selling lemonade through a project called lemonade for love and the Facebook page for the initiative explains how she aim to help a generous five year olds dream at providing every foster child with a toy and that's exactly what little ally has been doing the money raised through lemonade sales buys bright yellow bags with various goodies inside destined for kids in care I put that stuff in so they can be special and they can learn about Jesus from the Bible Alya told kfo our kids in Oklahoma's care system can expect to find toys Bibles blankets and toiletries in the yellow bags this incredible act of kindness from such a young child was unlikely to go unnoticed by her teachers at school and so Alya got some extras special recognition during a whole school assembly in January 2017 what alaya didn't know however was that a whole television crew was also coming to this assembly and in due course a kfo our reporter came into the room with a microphone asking for a lion to come to the front he explained to the six-year-old that she'd been nominated by her kindergarten teacher Tiffany Robertson to receive the channels weekly cash handout the pay it forward program gives $400 to a nominee who has paid it forward to someone else the kindergarten teacher struggled to fight back tears as she explained to Alya why she nominated her she told her you're my superhero you know why because you do such amazing things for so many kids Robertson then handed a lie of four hundred dollars to help her continue her charitable work the emotional presentation concluded with a huge applause from Elias classmates and teachers the school's principal meanwhile had nothing but praise for Alya she tearfully told Kor that she'd never before seen a child so young with such a servant's heart and she explained how the six-year-old wants everyone involved in the yellow bag initiative to pray over every bag so how exactly has charitable little Alya decided to use the 400 dollar boost well Alya described it as a gift from God by her teacher started by buying 250 more yellow backpacks the little girl didn't have the best start in life herself but she has continued to dedicate herself to disadvantaged kids well most six-year-old kids would want to rush out and buy the latest toy Alya did not instead she bought 100 more blankets and a further 50 baby blankets all of destined for Oklahoma's foster children proud foster mom misty Robinson told kfo our and we had more kids like her more adults like her the world would be a much better place undoubtedly most people would find it hard to disagree we all know the phrase when life gives you lemons make lemonade and that's exactly what little Alya did we can probably all learn something from her inspirational story of selflessness
