11-Year-Old Helps Disabled Vet Whose Store Was Robbed

NEEDHAM, MA — Brad Seidel arrived at his store Brad’s Coins, Comics and Cards in Needham during a mid-March day to find out that someone stole $2,000 in rare presidential coins. So when word got out about what happened, an 11-year-old from Needham decided to help.

Lucas Connors only needed five days to raise over $2,000 for the store. As of Thursday night, he's collected just under $2,100 through GoFundMe.

Seider, a disabled veteran who suffered from PTSD and prostate cancer, helped Conners build up his retro video game collection, the young Needham resident wrote.

"My dad and I have stopped by his store many times and he is always very helpful and nice. It upsets me to know such a terrible thing could happen to such a nice person. I know money cannot replace his rare coins but we can help him pay his bills," Seidel wrote on GoFundMe.

No arrests have been made, according to NECN.
