Steve Hartman stories are so beautiful I love the witty things you always say: What started with a pair of shoes will heal the soul of an entire school.

[@408Eric]

in a time when likes and material goods are all people care about, that 12 year old is a shining example of how to act and think. hats off to this little man.

[@OregonCrow]

You know a thing or two about being little don't ya? LITTLE MAN

[@madjack8893]

@Oregon Crow That would be you thats LITTLE 🤡💩

​@@madjack8893 You chubby AND mad. rip

[@reallyhappenings5597]

Is the materialism of their values lost on you?

[@joeblow8206]

Impressing classmates for an object a dad buys???

[@randallissimo]

That little man is smarter than he is getting credit for.

[@qualyn7156]

not even just smarts, wisdom

[@trynagetredpilled7941]

Big facts

[@emanuel81111]

big brain little kid and wise... impressive

[@kristenkaz3080]

Now that’s one boy whose been raised right. Good on you, momma.

[@derkjames3728]

That's mostly his personality though. It's not all mom.

[@ronny-lb1cr]

​​@@derkjames3728 I agree from personal experience without parents. I'll raise my kids right though because not everyone's born like me 😎

[@contactpq]

Wise words from the mouth of a babe...smh... "No ones deserves to get picked on for shoes that they are going to grow out of anyway" ... wow, so simple but so deep

[@lucilledavis8161]

WOW!!! Young Man has incredible Compassion!!! BLESSINGS TO YOU FOR CARING!!!

[@8317dh]

Agree strongly. I was bullied in fourth grade due to a speech impairment.

[@berthabazin6914]

Thanks to the family who raises that wonderful young man with that big heart! You rock 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Be blessed!

[@zeemughal86]

This is absolutely amazing. I’m 37, I can buy shoes now but I was bullied at that same age for the same reason. The shoes are a big deal in middle school. I wish I could meet these kids. I would gladly pay the $135 back ❤

[@mnight207]

Id gladly join, see your $135 and double it

[@gabrielfono844]

@@mnight207 me too I wish I could see him

[@missn2021]

Me too but I think he would want something else and not the money.

[@meloneymoore5102]

I appreciate what this young man did. This means sooo much from the bottom of my heart.

[@trailrider7046]

Shame on the kids who pick on poorer kids. That's awful behavior. Some empathy needs to be developed in the kids.

[@canderson8533]

What a remarkable young man, wise and kind. Blessings.

[@PghRN]

This boy's mom has to be so proud of the man she's raising. ❤

[@daveo2431]

How sweet of this kid. So rare to even find adults with this kind of heart, not to mention a child. Very special indeed hope he keeps it up.

[@spayisrael]

As a mother you should be so proud of that young man you are raising!

[@pablocifuentes2607]

Whoever this kid's parents are must be so incredibly proud of the job they're doing.

[@hopearispe5166]

OMG..This brought tears to my eyes.Romelo has a big heart and now he's a great friend.God bless him and the child that was bullied.

[@vickiefinney6073]

My goodness that kid is full of wisdom. God bless him 🙏

[@chelseamolinashihtzu166]

Oh my God this little boy is precious. What a beautiful child. This made me cry when I read this. His mom must be proud of him. It’s horrible that kids would tease him because he has old shoes on. Not everyone could afford new shoes.

[@CrystallyLavender]

Wow, what an incredible kid! I’m so touched. Why isn’t everyone as kind as this awesome 12-year-old kid?

[@alexe781]

What a great kid, God bless him for caring for another student. His mother did a great job raising him, he is going to go far in life. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@syr72]

What an angel of a child. Hope he never changes

[@ms.zbedroomeyes8627]

This is just awesome. God bless this baby. Praying God blessed him and his mother 100 Fold. To God be the glory 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@jennifermartinez5616]

This Romello kid is way smarter and inspiring than his years! Must have great family around him! ♥️♥️♥️

[@cryptohook9395]

What a kind, brave and beautiful young man!

[@ineverpostcommentsipray]

This story just change my life, amazing to see 12 years olds with heart.👏🏾 That's priceless.. 🥰🙏🏾

[@deetee609]

I want to start by saying that I really appreciate what this young man did for his classmate. This is amazing and selfless! However, what I truly hate about the world today is the fact that these stories of compassion make the news. A friend caring for his friend ought not be newsworthy. I look forward to the day where people don't witness an act of kindness, take a picture of the moment with their phone, post it online, and watch it go viral. Let's make kindness mundane. Let's make it completely ordinary, as it ought to be.

[@MegaLilmizzy]

I hear you but this is news worthy to stop the bullying.. and maybe get this kid and family help and more clothes or shoes as we don’t know his situation…

[@Darci3333]

The world would be a much better place with more like him and with his heart💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@michaelgilbert4310]

These should be are next leaders 👏. Those who really care.

[@michelebriere9569]

Congratulations to his parents for raising such a kind young man.

[@MegaRamp]

This is adorable and he also gained a friend! Kids are awesome.

[@hl4374]

What a brilliant caring kind hearted young man he is. Wishing him all the bright future ahead of him.

[@BFRIZZLE909]

Stop cutting onions, I love this kindness.

[@CheersNE]

Blessed family to have raised such a child. You Rock Romelo!

[@blueturtle1719]

Wow, that 12 yr old boy is special- What a kind and generous heart he has to take all his savings and buy shoes for his classmate. Lord please bless this boy and his bullied friend. Lord, please help his classmates treat each other with kindness instead of bullying others who do not own fancy shoes or clothes.

[@deejohnson4793]

Great story, fine young man. Hope he and his friend's bond will grow and they will have great lives. No one should ve bullied.

[@rfb915]

I love this Lil Boy! Bless both Young Brothers & Bless the Parents who shown their Sun to be loving and Giving!

[@ol3770]

Omg he is wise beyond his years. His mom should be very very proud.

[@GiftFromGod4U]

That baby....😭😭😍😍😍😍😍

[@mariannemangrum9668]

The world needs more kids and people like this young man!! Great job in raising him!! 👏

[@beamerboy-]

I love this kid. Momma raised him well.

[@neverwrong5544]

Kudos to this young man's parents, gigantic empathy in such small package. Big, big hearted. To the boy who received this gift, you have found a friend for life. Pay it forward...

[@Tyson7867]

Even hearing this made me tear up, we need more kids like him with that kind of a mentality his parents did raise him right and what he exactly said made a lot of sense why do we judge people of their looks and what they own why can’t we look at people for who they really are

[@marlenemalcolm9659]

Wise and mature beyond his years. His compassion made my eyes well with tears. He'll do fantastic things in the future.

[@homewithjj2010]

I literally cried watching this.The world needs more Romelos

[@josephlee5294]

Great job mom! Great job little dude!

[@WillmobilePlus]

A dad would have never let his son blow his savings on some d@mn shoes so some woman could plaster it on social media.

[@LiorShahar912]

This kid is an ANGEL

[@helenwybolt2371]

What a treasure this young man is!!

[@lloydmac2381]

Very Noble Young Man. God Bless Him🙏🏾

It brought me to tears happy tears.. This kid is great he is totally awesome.. What a good heart, and articulate little guy. Mom and dad you got to be proud... God bless everyone Godspeed and be well to all and to all a great day...

[@wantsomecoffee]

He’s the sweetest and cute too.

[@japhya0378]

This child was definitely raised with a lot of love.

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

What a great kid. His mom should be proud. He had such a mature attitude. “Shouldn’t be put down about a pair of shoes he’s going to grow out of.” I believe he’ll succeed in his mission. That must be agonizing to have the whole school target you over a pair of shoes. The boys will be lifelong friends!

[@1prettyladyofgrace7]

This made me tear up!!! What an intelligent, kind, gentle, beautiful young soul!!!❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

They are both amazing children. It’s heartbreaking that children are so mean. Adulthood will humble a lot of those mean kids.

[@WillmobilePlus]

You don't. It just takes one bad message and heaps even worse ones on top of it.

[@my4mainecoons338]

I would leave it up to his Mom/parents.

[@thc_treehouse420]

Those are amazing young men. Makes me proud to be front NY like they are. Thats the future!!!!

[@monaymonay7446]

This gave me a big smile that boy literally listened to his mom when he spoke you could hear every word she said to him

[@kathysanchez3202]

Empathy to its finest. Shout out to the parents 🙌 good job, young man.
