Sometimes all it takes is one moving story to make us aware of just how lucky we are. For one woman, it was the plight of two homeless brothers. But for one 8-year-old boy, it was a video he saw by accident.
Little Danny Higgins was moved to tears when he saw a video on the Internet of a homeless man being hit and having food thrown at him. Thinking that it simply wasn't right, Danny wanted to do something the help the homeless.
Danny had been saving money to get a new computer. Doing chores around the house earned him an allowance, and up until he saw the video, he had collected a grand total of $99.
And that's when the 8-year-old boy decided to give him money to the People's City Mission, in Nebraska, not far from his home. He had asked his mother for advice, and they both agreed that it was the best course of action, if he really wanted to help others.
By the time Danny handed over the money to Pastor Tom Barber, his family had increased the amount of the donation to $300.
The pastor himself was moved by the selflessness of the boy, and told Kevin Knudson, the owner of a computer store about the good deed. Also hearing that Danny was saving for a computer, he decided to thank him for his donation. Danny received a new computer, just like he wanted! And look at him — he's absolutely ecstatic!
Danny wants to continue giving to the less fortunate, and plans on giving away some stuffed toys.
