A Georgia man captured video of 8-year-old Maurice Adams Jr. helping an elderly woman, who uses a walker, make her way up some stairs. The video, posted by Riley Duncan, quickly went viral. WMAZ13 in Georgia reports that Maurice was riding home with his mother, and noticed the woman struggling to get around.
"He was like, 'Mom, can I help her go up the steps?' I said, 'Sure,' so he jumped out," said Maurice's mother, Contricia Hill.
"I started to help her out because she was struggling up the stairs," Maurice said.
Maurice says he loves the elderly. "They are so nice to people and they will help some of the kids out. They love kids."
Riley Duncan was moved by the kind act and gave the boy $100 dollars. But according to Maurice, the best part of the experience was the feeling he felt when the woman gave him a hug at the top of the steps.
