Age 8 Boy Sees Elderly Woman Struggling To Get Up Steps, Immediately Comes to Her Aide
The littlest kids have some of the largest hearts. With all the horrible things that happen in this world, it’s nice to see the younger generations working to make a difference despite their young age.
Take Austine Perine for example. Known as “President Austin” in Birmingham, Alabama, this 4-year-old has a heart for kindness.
When he learned that some people don’t have a place to call home, he immediately wanted to help out.
Instead of using his allowance to buy new toys, Austin buys chicken sandwiches and sodas and delivers them to those in need.
With each delivery, he reminds people, “Don’t forget to show love.”
Similarly, a video of another kindhearted little boy in Milledgeville, Georgia, helping out an elderly woman has gone viral.
Eight-year-old Maurice Adams Jr. was with his mom and they were driving home from a high school graduation when he noticed the woman struggling to cross the road.
He reportedly began talking to his mom about the woman crossing the busy street by herself.
“He asked, ‘Can I go out there and help her up the steps,'” Contricia Hill, his mother, told Channel 2 Action News.
And that’s exactly what the young boy did. With a steady hand on her back and one on her walker, Maurice helped the woman up the stairs.
Step by step they climbed until they reached the very top. There the two hugged and parted as unlikely friends.
The entire encounter was filmed by Riley Duncan who witnessed the little boy stop traffic so he could help the woman, and thought the act of kindness deserved a little recognition.
Duncan told CBS News that he is going to meet up with Maurice and his mom and give the boy $100 for his good deed.
Hill didn’t know anyone was filming, but she is glad to see her son making a difference across the internet.
“It’s touching. It’s very touching,” she said. “(It just shows) respect and raising your kids right goes a long way.”
