A six-year-old boy is being praised for using his Disney birthday trip fund to help Hurricane Dorian evacuees instead.
Six-year-old Jermaine Bell had been saving up his allowance to go on a trip to Disney World. The soon-to-be seven-year-old was planning to see the newest Lion King attraction for his birthday on September 8.
Creech adds that because Bell was born during hurricane season, he knows firsthand what it’s like to consider fleeing from potentially devastating storms. The mother and son live in Florida, a state particularly vulnerable to being impacted by hurricanes. With the help of his grandmother, who he was visiting for Labor Day, Bell set up a roadside stand in Allendale, S.C. to pass out free food and drinks. Bell created signs advertising the free food and water and stood right off a major South Carolina highway to catch residents on their way out of evacuation areas, local news station WJBF reports.
“They were kind of emotional and gave donations for me to go to Disney,” Bells recalls of the evacuees he served. “It made me feel really good,” says Bell.
