A school bus driver in New Jersey noticed two children on her bus sitting with and supporting a young boy who has difficulty walking, and she wrote a thank-you letter to the children’s parents.

Cindy Clausen, the #50 school bus driver in Princeton, New Jersey, has noticed something on her bus that has touched her heart.

Annaliese and Jorge, a young brother and sister, support their bus mate, 7-year-old Jaxon, every day.

Jaxon has an unknown disease and has difficulty walking, so he is carried to the school bus on some days and struggles to get on and off the bus on others.

“She just stood in the aisle and cheered him on, saying, ‘Come on, Jaxon, you can do it!'” “Oh my God,” I thought. “It just touched my heart,” Annaliese’s bus driver stated. “Her brother walked by the seat and said, ‘Don’t worry, I’ve got Jaxon’s backpack!’ He picked it up and carried it out for him.”

Every day, Annaliese and Jorge strive to sit next to Jackson on the bus and become his friends; seeing their sympathy for the youngster each morning warmed Cindy’s heart. She felt compelled to write a letter of gratitude to their parents for raising such great children. The letter was shared with Love What Matters, and it touched thousands of people’s hearts.

“Dear Jorge and Leonor,” the letter reads.
“I am compelled to write to tell you how beautiful your children are, inside and out! This can only come from the home, your patience and guidance, and the examples that you set and teach.
I have a child on my bus named Jackson. Both of your children have shown him so much compassion and support. Every day your children ask if they can sit with Jackson.
Some days Jackson is a little sad getting on the bus but as soon as he sees Annaliese and Jorge he smiles. Jackson has difficulties walking and it takes a bit for him to get to his seat.
Today Annaliese looked out from around her seat and said, “come on Jackson, you can do it” and when we arrived at school, Jackson took it upon himself to carry out his backpack!
I know you know how wonderful your children are, but I wanted you to know that it shows!

When asked, little Annaliese shared how showing happiness in your heart is how to be happy.

“If you be mean to people they will be sad and cry, and to be happy you have to show happiness in your heart,” Annaliese said.

Jackson’s mother, Belmax DeJesus, shared how grateful she is that her son is surrounded by kind children like Annaliese and Jorge.

“I’m just grateful for those children. I’m grateful Jaxon is surrounded by kids like these,” she said. “Jaxon’s so happy when he sees them. They made this little bond, they became friends. They would bring him little toys and they would ask to sit with him every day. They made him happy.”
