First-Grader Shaves Head in Solidarity for Friend with Cancer (VIDEO)
They're young, but Vincent Butterfield and Zac Gossage have a mature understanding of what friendship means
Six-year-old Zac Gossage doesn’t have to fight his leukemia alone. He has a best friend.
When Gossage began chemotherapy for the disease, 7-year-old Vincent Butterfield shaved his head so Zac wouldn’t be the only bald one at school. But, according to Today.com, Vincent didn’t stop there: He also began selling handmade scarves at $15 a pop in order to help Zac’s parents pay his medical bills.
More than just detailing Vincent’s acts of kindness to his friend, however, this news clip does a great job of showing how profound a friendship can be between two children. They’re young, but they’ve got a better handle on this whole “best buddies” thing than most adults. And what better way to handle adversity than standing strong beside your best friend?
