Sometimes, adults feel that we should look up to children and emulate their innocence and purity of heart.
Sunshine Oelfk appears to have a deeper understanding of friendship, love, and compassion than the majority of adults, despite her young age. Many people’s hearts were warmed by her touching tale, and she rose to hero status in her community.
Specifically, Sunshine stores all of her money in a piggy bank. She recently made the decision to break it and take everything. Sunshine’s response caused her grandma Jackie Oelfke to cry when she inquired why she needed the money.

Jackie broke down in tears as she described her granddaughter’s reaction to TODAY, saying, “She said she was taking it to school for milk.” She responded, “My friend’s mom doesn’t have milk money, and I do,” after I told her that I had already paid for her milk for the month.
Jackie intervened as well, supporting Sunshine in her effort to assist a fellow student. She and the young child gave the instructor the money, and afterwards she posted on Facebook about Sunshine’s giving character. The girl’s actions stunned many, and soon after, many began to donate money.

One of Sunshine’s kindergarten teachers, Rita Hausher, revealed to TODAY Parents how it always broke her heart to have to tell the children no when they requested for milk.
When I have to tell a pupil “no” when they ask to drink milk, it always makes me sad. Sunshine’s deed of kindness for one student started it, and it has evolved to encompass everyone, which makes my heart glad.
Unbelievably, Sunshine’s worthy cause inspired donors from across the nation to contribute $19,000. This implies that she can now drink as much milk as she wants with her buddies.
