Hero’s Gesture is Priceless, Renews Man’s Faith in Humanity

Kelvin has always said he wanted to help a homeless person, so he quickly took action when he saw someone who appeared in need. He noticed a man in mismatched clothes standing in front of a coffee shop with his eyes closed. Kelvin approached him and said, “Excuse me sir, are you homeless? Because if you are, here's a dollar.” Kelvin offered the man the only money he had. It was the dollar that he just earned for good grades.

Ironically, the man was a successful businessman – he was actually a millionaire! The man was recovering from a chaotic morning after being abruptly woken up by a blaring fire alarm in his condo complex. Half asleep, he quickly threw on some clothes and headed out the door. After finding out it was a false alarm, he decided to start his day, and headed to the coffee shop. He placed his order, stepped outside, and closed his eyes for his morning prayer. That’s when Kelvin approached him with his random act of kindness. The man’s eyes opened literally and figuratively when Kelvin offered him his only dollar. It renewed his faith in humanity, something he hadn’t felt in a long time.

Kelvin is a very caring and loving kid. He is also very ambitious and a dependable helper. “Most of all, my son is very determined to solve problems,” said his dad. “He is my hero every day. Kelvin is a great kid with a big heart filled with love to help people. It’s amazing to be like that at his age.”

He was nominated by his proud dad, and Kids Wish Network honored Kelvin with its coveted Hero gift package.
