8-Year-Old Helps Elderly Woman Climb Stairs

8-year-old Maurice Adams had no idea he was being filmed when he noticed an elderly woman crossing the road and trying to climb a set of stairs. He was in the car with his mother at the time and asked her if she could stop the car so he could get out and help the woman.


On his own accord, Maurice walked up to the stranger and helped her up the stairs. The woman was also using a walker and this amazing young man knew she was struggling. Riley Duncan caught the entire act of kindness on his camera and knew he wanted to share it. It's not often that we see such selfless acts from our younger generation.

I know a lot of people probably passed right by this elderly woman but Maurice decided to stop. This boy is truly an example to us all of helping our neighbors in need, even when no one is looking. As they reached the top of the stairs, the woman and Maurice hugged. I know this is a moment she won't forget.
