Okay it's Sean Cummings. I am in Woodward Oklahoma. We paid about $1,300 and covered all of the school's debt. Sean is on a mission to wipe out school lunch debts for kids.

我是肖恩·卡明斯(Sean Cummings)。我在俄克拉荷马州伍德沃德。我们支付了大约1300美元并偿还了学校的所有债务。肖恩的使命是消除孩子们的学校午餐债务。

I'm outside Union City Public Schools. We're going in. We're writing a check for $1,940 for school lunch debt. This should knock a big dent in that whole thing.

我在联合市公立学校外面。我们要进去了。我们正在写一张1940 美元的支票来偿还学校午餐债务。这应该会带来很大的影响。

Sean embarked on this journey in honor of his late wife Cathy, who lost her battle with cancer in February.

肖恩踏上这段旅程是为了纪念他已故的妻子凯茜,她于二月份在与癌症的斗争中丧生。

As a restaurant owner, Sean wants to extend Cathy's love for the community in a manner she would have cherished, making a tangible impact.

作为一名餐厅老板,肖恩希望以凯茜珍视的方式表达她对社区的热爱,产生切实的影响。

Senior year is a very expensive year, lots of things to pay for. And if one little bit can help them offset the financial burden to make their senior year a little bit less stressful, it's worth it.

Sean attributes this overwhelming generosity to love. She was loved. She had an energy about her. That was just incredibly giving sweet kind.

肖恩将这种慷慨归因于爱。她被爱。她浑身充满活力。这真是令人难以置信的甜蜜。

The amount of money that was raised shows you that people knew that they don't believe in my cause, they believe in her cause. I'm just the delivery boy.

筹集到的资金表明人们知道他们不相信我的事业,但他们相信她的事业。我只是个外卖小哥。

Sean aspires to carry forward Cathy's legacy through his actions.
