When six-year-old Blake Rajahn shows up to his first-grade classroom, he'll arrive bearing an uplifting a message for his fellow students.
Blake's mom, Nikki Rajahn, runs a custom personalization business in Fayette County, Georgia, and she asked her son what kind of t-shirt he'd like for his first day of school. He could've chosen anything he wanted, and she could make it.
Blake chose something unexpected; it was an orange t-shirt with a simple, sweet message for the other children at his school to see. Five little words that might mean the world to somebody who reads them.
"I will be your friend."
Rajahn shared the sweet story on her business Facebook page:
Such a gesture is typical of Blake. "He has always had a heart for others and is very genuine," his mom said. She added that she's donating part of the proceeds of her t-shirt sales to the Real Life Center, a non-profit which helps families in need in Tyrone, Georgia, all because of Blake.
Rajahn said everybody has been very encouraging and people are starting to order their own version of the t-shirt with "#blakesfriends" added to it.
