More on money

Lev has money is his school lunch account, rolling over from one year to the next. It is about $30, but it pains me what to do with it. I could send an email to the food service director and get it transferred to my account. I could leave it. Or, I could find out the name of an acquaintance of Lev's and give it to him. There was a boy at the high school that Lev was kind of friends with. I remember meeting him in sixth grade, at their trip to Camp Orkila. He seemed like the kind of kid Lev could be friends with, but wasn't. I'm not sure why. He remained on the outskirts of Lev's groups of friends for the next few years. Last year, one morning I saw Lev getting thirty cents from our change jar. I asked him why, and he said, "oh, nothing." I asked again, and he told me the story. This kid, who he's not really friends with, but kind of, qualifies for reduced lunch, so it only costs him thirty cents. But he often doesn't have the money and he is always hungry. So, he asks around for change until he can get together the thirty cents for his lunch. Lev said he always tried to have change with him so that if he was asked he could give him money for lunch. I said I would put money in this kid's account, but Lev thought it was better this way. He kept doing it all year, just making sure he had change in case he was asked. No one knew, and he didn't want to make a big deal about it.
