He's not heavy; he's my friend



A great story of a win-win-win situation. A little boy named Sam, who has cerebral palsy, lives with his family in a two-story house. His father used to carry him upstairs to bed every night, until his dad had heart surgery. The family reached out to a local high school for help, and a co-captain of the team, Rudy Favard, comes to Sam's house several nights a week to carry him upstairs.

Sam and his family have help, Rudy has the appreciation and affection of Sam's family, and both young men have a new friend. Priceless.
