Winter weather isn't one to scoff at! This bitter cold can be damaging to those who aren't wearing properly warm attire. But not everyone can afford the clothes they need. When school bus driver and army veteran John Lunceford noticed one of the young boys boarding his bus crying, he quickly tried to see why "“ and when he did, his heart broke. The pint-sized child had been waiting for the bus in the frigid cold and didn't have a hat or gloves on, causing his hands and ears to turn bright red.

As soon as he dropped off the kids on his bus, he made a detour and went to a dollar store where he picked up ten pairs of gloves and ten stocking hats. He then headed back to the school and asked school authorities to help him find the boy, who was in the library. He then gave the young child a pair of gloves and a hat, much to the grateful boy's delight.

They also shared his tale on Facebook, where it has gained over 3,400 shares and plenty of support.
