Ten-year-old Ryan Kyote, the boy who helped end lunch-shaming in his state of California, is one of Time Magazine's Heroes of 2019.
according to local Napa, California, station KGO
, when Kyote saw on the news that a school in Indiana had taken away a six-year-old’s lunch when her account didn’t have the funds. That prompted Kyote to wonder how he could help with the issue at his own school. As it turned out, the whole school had a debt of $700, which was out of Ryan’s budget. But his class owed just about $75, an amount he decided to pay off with his allowance earnings.resulting in his home state of California passing a lawThe bill, authored by state Sen.
. “Creating a ‘California for All’ means ensuring schools are inclusive, accepting, and welcoming of all kids. These bills help move us closer to that goal.”Now, Time is recognizing his efforts too by naming him as one of this year’s Heroes. Kyote told the mag that “Heroes come in all ages,” and his act of kindness definitely proves it.
“Honored to be included with these amazing heroes and hope this will draw even more attention to stop lunch debt shaming. Superstars like Richard Sherman helping pay lunch debt is powerful,” Kyote tells Scary Mommy. And of course, his mission isn’t over by any means. His mom, Kylie Kirkpatrick, tells us that they’re going to Rhode Island next week to help pass lunch-shaming debt there too.
It’s only fitting that Kyote’s big year be capped off by being officially named a Hero — but he already was one to all the kids his activism is helping.
