The class at Redding Cooperative Preschool in Redding, California, held a hot chocolate fundraiser last week hoping to raise money to help their friend's battle with cancer. It was a massive success.

A hardworking group of preschoolers are warming people's hearts, and it's not just because of all the hot cocoa.

"The kiddos... miss and talk about him everyday," Becky Haskins, a fundraiser organizer and mother to one of the preschoolers, told CNN."He is one of the sweetest souls that I have ever met and his family is just the same." "They wanted to help Jasper in any way they could," Haskins said."That was a day that I will never forget."Haskins said her daughter suggested they sell lemonade to raise money for Jasper, but with the wintry weather she steered the brainstorm towards hot cocoa.

"So many tears were shed in those six hours," Stephens told CNN."This experience has been the most beautiful thing I have ever been a part of."Jasper's mom, Shelby, told CNN that the 4-year-old had surgery on Monday, and if everything goes well he will start treatment again next week. In the meantime, his friends are checking in. They held a phone call earlier this week.
