Bus driver buys hats and gloves for children in need on his route

Bus driver John Lunceford was making his usual morning rounds on Thursday when he spotted a young boy shivering at the bus stop ahead.

As he opened the door, he could see tears in the boy’s eyes. He looked down at his red hands and ears. It was freezing outside.

So, Luceford did what any caring adult would do: he gave him gloves.

“I put my gloves on him and told him it’ll be okay, it’ll be okay,” says Lunceford, according to a statement released by the Kennewick School District in Washington.

The man, a U.S. Army veteran in his third year driving buses for the district, couldn’t shake the image of the shivering student. So, after dropping his students off at school, he headed straight to the dollar store.
