One fateful morning, Larry noticed a little boy named Levi sitting on the ground with tears streaming down his face. Levi, a first-grader at Engelhard Elementary School, explained through sobs that he didn't have pajamas for Pajama Day at school.

“Normally, when I pull up, he’s standing there waiting for me with a big smile, but on this day, he was sitting on the ground with a jacket over his head,” he said. “I asked him, ‘Hey buddy, what’s going on? What’s wrong?’”

Larry's heart sank as he watched Levi's disappointment, knowing the young boy wanted to participate but couldn't. Determined to make things right, Larry sprang into action. After finishing his morning routes, he made a special trip to a Family Dollar store and purchased two pairs of pajamas for Levi. With pajamas in hand, Larry headed to Levi’s school to deliver the heartfelt gift.
