The Ripple Effect of a 5-Year old’s Gift

5-year old Carver was helping his grandmother pack up some supplies to send to firefighters battling wildfires along the West coast. He spotted his plush Baby Yoda and decided it should be included in the box, too. With help from his grandmother, he included a note that read, “Thank you, firefighters. Here is a friend for you, in case you get lonely. Love, Carver”

Baby Yoda is now being passed around amongst firefighting crews and he’s become so popular, he now has his own Facebook page documenting his journey. Check it out here. #GoodNews
