Brenden Foster Leaving a Legacy at Age 11

Today I learned about Brendan Foster. He died from Leukemia on Friday November 21 at the very tender age of 11.

This young boy had a dying wish which was to help feed the homeless. With this wish, he inspired countless numbers of people in various states of America to make an effort and collect food for the homeless because he was too weak to do it himself.

Brenden was described as a young boy with an old soul. He was once the kid who ran the fastest, climbed the highest and dreamed of becoming a marine photographer. Leukemia took away all those things, but not his dying wish to help others.

I think we can all learn from Brenden. This moving video was taken just before he passed away in his mother’s arms.

Rest in Peace beautiful boy.

Wow, what a brave kid. I hope that I’m that well adjusted if I know that I will die soon.

I love that he is enjoying every minute that he has left in this life. Hopefully he moves on to bigger and better things.

What an heart wrenching, yet uplifting story. I found the video this morning and it brought me to tears. Doing a search for more information brought me here.

I hope the readers of your site, and the many others who have posted the video, realize what this young man is teaching us.

I saw Brenden’s story on the news and he touched my heart so much that I decided to start a food drive in his honor. The people at the company that I work for were so supportive and helped me collect lots of food for our local food pantry. It made me feel so useful and happy that I decided to continue the food drive through out the coming year all year long. I am also trying to find out how I could go about organizing a fundraiser to feed Tent city,Pomona, CA for a day. Does anybody have any ideas or tips?
Brenden has not only made a difference for all the homeless people out there, he made a difference in my life…he spoke to my heart. RIP little Angel. Lupe Ido
