A Five Year Old Makes a Difference In a Homeless Man’s LIfe

Our morning show "Feel Good" stories have been all about food the last few days. This one is no different. This time we are in Alabama.

Outside a Waffle House we meet 5-year-old Josiah Duncan and his mom, Ava Faulk. Outside the restaurant is where they saw a man with a bike and a bag. The man was very dirty and naturally Josiah was curious. He started asking his mom all kinds of questions after she told him the man was homeless.

“What does homeless mean?  Where is his family? Where does he keep his groceries?"

That is when Josiah found out he probably didn’t have any groceries and he insisted his mom buy this man a meal.

They took the man into the Waffle House but Mom says nobody waited on him. "So Josiah jumped up and asked him if he needed a menu because you can't order without one."

The man at first ordered the cheapest burger but Josiah’s mom told him to get whatever he wanted. He got the works. Especially Bacon!

Before the man could take the first bite though, Josiah insisted on saying the blessing, not just saying it he SANG it, with 11 other customers watching. Mom says, "The man cried. I cried. Everybody cried".

The man ate his meal and went on his way, leaving behind a little boy who cared enough to do something.
