An inspirational 6-year-old boy has gone viral after spending all of his savings to buy food and give it away for free to Hurricane Dorian evacuees.

Jermaine Bell is a real-life hero from Allendale, South Carolina, who had been patiently saving money so that he could one day go to Disney World.

Nevertheless, Jermaine came up with a different idea once he heard of the havoc caused by Hurricane Dorian.

And so, the boy spent all of his savings on buying food and water before giving it all away for free to more than one hundred evacuees affected by the calamity.

“The people that are traveling to go to places, I wanted them to have some food to eat, so they can enjoy the ride to the place that they’re going to stay at,” the 6-year-old, who stood alongside highway and held a sign inviting refugees to get free food, said in an interview with WJBF.

“I wanted to be generous and live to give.”

As the big-hearted boy’s grandma added, the boy was even praying for the victims of the hurricane.

“He actually even prayed for a family while they were here in reference to their house being okay when they got back, so that was really tear dropping,” Aretha Grant revealed.

“They weren’t able to take everything. So just knowing that they couldn’t take everything and we were able to have a house, so that’s the blessed part that he should be thankful for and get out of it.”

After Jermaine’s act of kindness went viral, people applauded him for his thoughtful and selfless actions.

“When I first saw this article it did give me joy but I was not surprised because that is who he is. A little boy so full of love and joy for everyone. I already know that this young man has a bright future and may his ladder always exceed his climb,” someone said.

“This story is now making the rounds down here in Central Florida. What an amazing young man! I am actually a Disney Cast Member, and would be happy to help Jermaine out with some free passes to the park,” another one wrote.

Pastor Daniel Latimer has also spoken out and claimed he was “super proud” of his young member.

“He decided to give some of his birthday money to serve and give to evacuees leaving the hurricane areas. I love that my church is a church that gives to the community but I’m extra excited that our youth are givers too,” he said.
