Donors Seek To Help Boy Selling Stuffed Animal For Food
CINCINNATI (AP) -- People across the country want to help a 7-year-old Ohio boy who told a police officer he was trying to sell a stuffed animal to buy food, because he hadn't eaten in several days.
Individuals and businesses from around the country have been asking how they can help, a spokesman for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul at St. Mary of the Assumption Church in Franklin said Monday.
"I've had calls from Alaska, Arizona, North Carolina and Texas and many other states," St. Vincent de Paul spokesman Rocky Adams said, adding that they already have received several hundred dollars to help the boy and his brothers.
Police in Franklin, between Cincinnati and Dayton, say Officer Steve Dunham found the boy in front of a drug store this month with the large stuffed animal and wearing no shoes.
