Boy Sends Charity Shoebox Across The World, 11 Years Later It Comes Back

Thinking It Over

In an interview with People, Tyrel recalls the contemplation he endured before taking the trip to the Philippines.

“I knew I was taking a big risk, I had never traveled alone, let alone to a foreign country before and I was meeting people I didn’t know or even knew really existed.”

Love At First Sight

As you can imagine, the flight to the Philippines was quite nerve-wracking for Tyrel. But then, as soon as he walked out into the airport terminal, all the nerves just disappeared.

And the moment that they saw each-other for the first time, something happened. “I was immediately attracted to her,” he said in an interview. He felt that it was love at first sight.
