“He’s a positive young kid. He has a very huge heart, and I’m thankful he came into my life,” Devonte Gardner says.
Eight-year-old Kayzen Hunter has a regular ritual: breakfast at his local Waffle House in Little Rock, Arkansas with his family, sometimes with his grandpa, but often with his parents and siblings. With these trips comes his meal served by his favorite waiter, Devonte Gardner.
Hunter says the family got to know Gardner better over time, learning about his wife, Aissa, and daughters 3-year-old Jade and 2-year-old Amoura. “It was just horrible,” Gardner says, adding that he and his family have been living in a motel for the past eight months.“He came home and told me that, ‘Hey, Mom, Devonte walks or gets a ride to work and I’m gonna start a GoFundMe,’” Hunter says, adding that Kayzen had begged her for a while to do a GoFundMe before she agreed to take the plunge. “I was like, ‘Well, OK, that’s really sweet. It’s a great idea.
Kayzen then explains that Gardner was looking for a decently priced car, and that the Hunter family wants to get Gardner's family into a clean rental property. “That’s the crazy part to us,” Korey Hunter, Kayzen’s dad, tells TODAY.com. “I get it, but the goal was $5,000 and people do not care what the goal was; they keep giving and giving.”
