A 10-year-old boy named Jack felt awful that his mother worked seven days a week to pay for their daily needs. He decided to take matters into his own hands by visiting his mom’s office and talking to her boss in hopes of giving her a break.Jack was a 10-year-old boy who lived with his single mom, Debra. He never met his dad, so his mom stepped up as both mom and dad for the young man. Debra worked as a cleaner seven days a week at a big company. She chose not to have any days off to earn more money for Jack’s daily needs.The hardworking mom never showed it, but working all days of the week was exhausting for her. Cleaning a multi-floor building was no easy feat, and her body ached because of it. One day, Jack saw his mom sitting on their front porch, crying. He watched her through the window and heard her talking on the phone with her friend. “I’m just so tired, Emily,” Debra cried. “
I want to rest, but I can’t. I barely earn enough to care for Jack and pay the bills. I can’t afford any days off,” she told her friend.Jack felt sad that his mom could not rest because of him. He blamed himself, and he wanted to help her. The following day, after school, he made his way to his mom’s office. “Hello, Jack. Are you looking for your mom?” the receptionist asked him as soon as he entered the building. Jack quickly shook his head. “No, ma’am. Please don’t tell my mom that I’m here. I’m here to see her boss, Mr. Jefferson,” Jack told the woman. The woman was surprised to hear this; it showed on her face. Nonetheless, after Jack’s constant pleading, she decided to give Mr. Jefferson a call to inform him of his unexpected visitor.Mr. Jefferson allowed the woman to take Jack to his office and when Jack got there, he suddenly felt nervous. “To what do I owe this pleasure, young man?”
