Mom’s Mission Preps 312 Kids for School
PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (WAGM) - 312, that’s how many kids will head back to school better prepared thanks to one mom’s mission. Cheryl Morris has been collecting backpacks filled with school supplies for Community Action’s Stuff the Bus event for 6 years. She does it in memory of her son Adam MacDonald, who passed away in 2021. “He was always, always thinking about other people. Even though he was going through what he was going through, in life with terminal illness there and the battles that he fought with over the years, but he was always thinking of others and how he could brighten somebody else’s day and it’s always fun just to come have the bus come. Because after all it’s called help stuff the bus. So, when they come with the bus we stuff it.”
