Teaching Sympathy: How Six Siblings Honored Their Late Friend
The best way to create a kinder, more compassionate world is by teaching our children the value of empathy. When we care for one another, everything else seems to fall into place.
This lesson was exemplified by six siblings from New York—two twins, triplets, and a 10-year-old—who turned their grief into a powerful act of kindness. After losing a close friend to cancer, the children were deeply affected. During his battle, their friend underwent chemotherapy, which caused him to lose his hair. Seeing his struggle left a lasting impact on the siblings.
When their friend passed away, they decided to honor his memory in a unique and meaningful way: by growing out their hair to donate to children fighting cancer, just like their late friend.
The siblings kept their plan a secret. Not even their mother knew why they insisted on skipping haircuts.
As their hair grew longer, however, they faced ridicule from classmates. The teasing became relentless, with peers calling them names and saying they looked like girls. But the siblings stayed strong. They didn’t let the hurtful comments deter them because they knew their mission was more important than what others thought.
After months of enduring mockery, the day finally arrived for their donation. Together, they cut and donated an astonishing 17 feet of hair to benefit those battling cancer.
Their story is a touching reminder of how small acts of love can leave a big impact. It’s inspiring to see such young children demonstrate such selflessness and care for others.
