This sweet little boy who burst into tears after helping a homeless man could teach us all a lesson in empathy! Proud mom Daricka shared the most beautiful video of her 10-year-old son on social media. In the clip, the child was giving money to a homeless man through the window of the family’s car. He was so moved by the experience that he started crying!
Mom explained in her caption on social media that there was more to the story, as well. Apparently, the homeless man also had cancer. His situation really touched her son’s heart! She tried her best to reassure him that the guy would be ok.
“My oldest baby is such a gentle soul,” wrote Daricka. “He earned $70 and asked to give the homeless man with cancer $20. As a mom it made me feel good knowing that I’m raising a kind-hearted son.”
This boy’s reaction after helping a homeless man will melt your heart.
It’s amazing to see a little boy with so much compassion for others! So many of us see people in need every day without batting an eye, but this 10-year-old couldn’t pass a homeless man without feeling for him and helping him out. Commenters were very impressed by this child’s kindness!
“He doesn’t even know this man and he cried like he was his brother…” one user wrote. “I pray everybody on earth’s heart is as pure as this young man’s one day.”
“Being an empath in this cruel world is so painful,” said another.
This little boy’s response to seeing a person suffering should be a wake-up call to us all. Just because the world is full of people in need doesn’t make their pain any less valid. If you ever have the means to help someone, don’t hesitate! We hope this little boy never loses his strong sense of empathy.
