An anonymous man has given a much-needed festive financial boost to families of children attending an elementary school in Pennsylvania.

The unidentified stranger paid off more than $900 in overdue lunch balances for 44 students at HW Good Elementary School in Herminie, reports KDKA. He also covered the most indebted students meals for the rest of the month.

I told him, Words cant describe what my feelings are . I had tears in my eyes, said Amy Larcinese, the schools principal. Its just good to know there are so many good people out there who are willing to sacrifice to help others.
