With a stroke of a pen, nearly US$2,000 went to 130 Chandler students to pay off their lunch debt.
"At the end of the year, these kids have some debt. It rolls over to next year and the next year," Cummings said. "Some schools were pulling diplomas and stuff if they’re seniors, so we started with seniors first. Then, like we were able to do here, we did the entire school’s lunch debt, so now it’s over."
Chandler wasn't the only school reaping the benefits of his generosity. It was just one on a long list of schools Cummings said he hopes to help.
"We are a little over $40,000, but we are still sitting on $25,000," Cummings said. "If it keeps working, we’re going to keep doing it. I will keep doing this as long as there’s money there."
