Unbeknownst to the little boy, elderly woman’s neighbor Riley Duncan filmed Maurice’s Good Work as he walked. Riley was so impressed with Morris’ cute work that he posted it on Facebook with the caption “Thank God for our youth.” After just a few days, Riley’s video garnered 13 million views and thousands of likes.
Those who commented on the video applaud Morris for being polite and helpful to the woman. Later, Riley was able to find Contricia’s Facebook profile and set up a one-on-one with Morris, who gave him $100 for his selfless act.
Riley’s post eventually caught the attention of the local media, who were eager to interview Morris. Humbled, Morris says he simply saw that the old woman was struggling and wanted to help.
In the end, Morris’ random act of kindness is proof that it doesn’t take much to make a difference in the world. Morris’ decision to simply help the old lady up her ladder showed that the world cared about her and made her life better.
If we all acted like Morris and helped each other, the world would be a better place.
