\u0022Little guy looking for friends, broke my heart.\u0022

After being bullied in and out of school, Shayden needed friends “really bad” and decided to put in the shoe leather to get some. As the sun beat down and temperatures hit 90 degrees near his home in Amarillo, Tex., he hit door after door after door.Then, Shayden came to the house of Brennan and Angell Ray, both 23. While working as a landscaper, Brennan got a phone alert that someone back at his house had pressed his Ring doorbell.

When Shayden showed up at Brennan’s doorstep, the 11-year-old asked if he had any children. Brennan said he had a daughter: “She’s 2 years old, though, man.” After talking with Shayden, Brennan called his wife. Angell was home at the time but, since the doorbell doesn’t create a ring inside the house, she didn’t know that someone was at the front door. She told her husband she didn’t recognize the boy, and by the time she peeked outside, he was gone.Article content

Angell started the GoFundMe because they wanted Shayden to buy a few things for himself – school clothes or a video game system, a vacation with his family. Patterson said she’ll get some new clothes for Shayden and take the family on a vacation, which they haven’t done in at least six or seven years. Some will go toward Shayden’s medical expenses. But at least half of it will go to charity, Patterson said.
