One man has managed to pay off most of a West Jordan school's lunch debts with a fundraiser.
To make sure no kid goes hungry, Tua Kealoha raised $12,050 to help pay off school lunch debt at Heartland Elementary.
“It’s important to do this because we live in a world where you see a lot of negativity, and it’s just good to spread positivity and just make people know we’re all human beings and it’s good to give back,” said Kealoha. When Kealoha learned about lunch debt, he made it his mission to help. “I’m not from this district, but I believe when it comes to helping kids, there is no such thing as districts.”
Kealoha credited Brandon Keeper, Channing Jones and Phillip Esteban from San Diego Based Restaurant “Wavy,” for helping with the fundraiser, and Dennis Magna who helped as well. They hosted an event to raise funds at Purgatory Bar SLC with its general manager, Fred Acebo.
