Birthday Boy Delivers 100 Pizzas to Flood Victims, Inspires Others To Do The Same
"Instead of cake and presents to celebrate his 9th birthday, Carson Boutte was inspired in a dream he had to ask for something rather unconventional of his parents: spending his gift money on pizzas for flood victims.
The boy’s parents Ross and Lanie bought 100 pies for the displaced Louisiana residents.
They also made a post on Facebook (Lanie LeJeune Boutte) asking if friends or family members wanted to contribute any additional pizzas in Carson’s honor.
That’s when people really started pie-ing it forward.
The social media plea spread like wildfire until dozens more orders for delivery started flooding the Dominos phone lines.
Inspired by the slew of compassion, the Italian eatery offered to match Carson’s 100 pizzas with their own."
