Diagnosed with leukemia, 11-year-old Brendan Foster of Lynnwood, Washington, likely has just days left to live. "I should be gone in a week or so," he told KOMO News.
But before the boy says goodbye, he has one last wish—and it has nothing to do with meeting his favorite rock star or going to Disney World. Instead, the selfless child decided that his dying wish would be to help others survive, with a mission to provide food to the residents of a nearby homeless camp, Nickelsville.
"I was coming back from one of my clinic appoints and I saw this big thing of homeless people, and then I thought I should just get them something," he said.
Though Brendon is too sick to pay a visit to the camp, a group of his friends went to distribute food to the camp on Friday. "We're making 200 sandwiches -- half ham and cheese, and half peanut butter and jelly. He didn't want them all to be peanut butter and jelly in case somebody was allergic to peanut butter," said one of the volunteers, Jennifer Morrison.
As for Brendan himself, he has no regrets about his short life: "I had a great time and until my time has come, I'm gonna keep having a good time," he said.
