Foundation Gives Special Gift To Bullied Penn Hills Student With Cerebral Palsy

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- A local foundation gave a special surprise to a Penn Hills student who was recently seen being bullied in a video posted on social media.

Earlier this month, a video showed 16-year-old Isaiah Wooding, who has cerebral palsy, getting kicked in the chest by another student in the hallway of Penn Hills High School. Other students seen the video stood and laughed.

Cheri Croney, who founded the Kevin Croney Foundation, saw the story and wanted to do something special for Isaiah. Since Isaiah is a big fan of WWE, the Foundation surprised him and his family with tickets to see WWE Monday Night RAW at CONSOL Energy Center and a gift basket full of WWE t-shirts, hats, an autographed photo from Roman Reigns and other swag for him and his family.

Cheri presented the gifts to Isaiah and his family Friday afternoon.

"Just remember, for every bad person you come across, there's ten times more better people out there than that," she told Isaiah.

"I'm speechless," Isaiah's mother, Margaret Wooding, said after receiving the gifts. "I know that Isaiah is a good kid, and I just want him to see the good in people and not to give up and stay true to himself."

"I think that [Cheri]'s a very, very wonderful person, and I thank her so much," Isaiah said. "And I really think that there are some great opportunities for other kids to know that there are some very, very special people out here."

Cheri founded the Kevin Croney Foundation after her husband was killed last year, and she says the Foundation aims to "be the humanity in the world, to be the good that I want to see in the world."
