Nationwide — Romello Early, a 7th grader at Buffalo Creek Academy in Buffalo, New York, has gone viral after he decided to buy new shoes for his classmate and best friend, Melvin, who was being bullied because of his old shoes.
When Romello noticed that Melvin had been bullied because the shoes he was wearing were getting torn, he became so upset. His mother said one day he even called crying from school because of the disappointment in how his friend was treated badly.
“I could tell it was upsetting him. It just put a real bad ache in my stomach to see somebody have to go through that, and to be to be picked on just based off appearance,” Romello told WGRZ.
Romello decided he had to do something for his friend. He asked his mother to take him to the shoe store to buy a new pair of shoes for Melvin using the allowance money he had saved up. He said he was also willing to sacrifice one of his Christmas gifts for it.
“I’m really appreciative of what he did for me,” said Melvin. “I’m doing chores at home so I can earn some money to try and pay him back for what he did for me.”
But Romello said he doesn’t need anything in return since it was a gift from him.
Meanwhile, Bryant Brown Jr., the Dean of Culture at Buffalo Creek Academy, learned about what happened and called them to the classroom. Touched by the act of kindness, Brown took a picture of the two and posted it on Facebook upon getting permission from the two boys’ parents.
“My student Melo told me he was tired of other students picking on Melvin about his shoes. Melo used his allowance and bought Melvin some shoes. This is what I live for, be that helping hand,” Brown wrote in a Facebook post, which has been shared more than 17,000 times.
