Ashley C.Ford,a New York City writer,recently appealed to her 66,000 Twitter followers,“A cool thing you can do today is to try to find out which of your local schools have kids with overdue(过期未付的) lunch accounts and pay them off.”
Children from the poorest families get free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch.But some struggle to pay even reduced prices.Some of the IOUs(借据) come from kids who simply forget their lunch money or parents who can afford to pay but neglect to keep prepaid accounts up to date.
People around the country have been inspired by Ashley C.Ford to donate money to pay off debts owed by parents that can follow kids throughout their school careers.
“It really hit home for me,”said Kristina Arwood,who launched a campaign that raised $ 20,000 to pay lunch debts in her region.“I grew up on free and reduced-price lunches,but even that 40 cents was hard to get together with four kids.There were times I wouldn’t eat because I didn’t have money.”
The effort drew some criticism from people who said some of the money is owed by parents who can afford the $2.50 for lunch but let their accounts run into the red.But the response has been mostly positive.
“It’s unrealistic to think donations are going to fix this problem for all school districts,” said Diane Pratt-Heavner,spokeswoman for the association.
Ford said her real aim was to inspire a bigger wave of community giving.She said,“It was
just one idea; another school might need help with uniforms or tutoring.The point was to do something that helps people in your community.”

C.She felt touched because of her similar experiences in childhood. D.Her family were suffering because of her donation to the campaign.
