As a child, he personally was a recipient of others\u2019 kindness and generosity. As a freshman in high school, Kalab broke his leg and consequently the growth plate playing in a high school football game. Without proper corrective surgery, this type of break would cause Kalab\u2019s broken leg to stop growing, while his other leg would continue to grow, causing significant impact on the quality of Kalab\u2019s mobility and quality of life.<\/p>

In order to fix his leg correctly Kalab needed a specialized surgery that his family could not afford. They were already experiencing significant financial hardship and this surgery was just not monetarily possible. Realizing the situation, the doctor referred his family to Shriners Children\u2019s hospital where they were connected with a donor who graciously paid for Kalab\u2019s entire surgery and monetary provisions and accommodations for his family to travel from their home in Idaho to Shriners Hospital in Utah for the duration of the surgery and recovery.<\/p>

Kalab will forever be grateful for his donor\u2019s Christ-like generosity and understands the significant impact it still has today, decades later. Without this type of generosity, his life would be completely different.<\/p>

Kalab\u2019s desire to pay forward the Christ-like love he received has always burned bright; he just needed to decide where to focus his efforts and organize them. As Kalab\u2019s own children began school and he started paying for a variety of school related fees, it became clear that school fees add up quickly, which often adds to the financial burden many families face. He asked his local school district which fees were the most often unpaid. They easily replied \u201cschool lunch\u201d. School\u2019s annually go into thousands of dollars in debt to cover lunch that parents can\u2019t afford. However, no child should ever go hungry. It became clear; by helping to cover school lunch fees he would be able to give back to families and make sure that every child receives a quality lunch every single day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
