After I heard a neighborhood church owner yell at a young, married couple experiencing homelessness, I decided today to give more and help. I bought them burritos, chips, and water for lunch. Imagine a world where every citizen demonstrates a small gesture like Austin. A meal brings people hope and humanity.

President Austin!!! don't forget to show love!!! what a kid!!!

[@misawajason]

why are talking about social media stars and sports figures daily on TV and not this little guy???? God bless him and his family. I can only hope to raise my sons to be as awesome and be the same empowering father as they are

[@writeronthestormkyushu565]

All the divineness and judgement. All the complications and political posing. This beautiful child shows us the way forward and it is so simple most will never see the truth. Highlighting this dad and his son is just one of the many reasons I love CBS Sunday Morning.

[@bernieromero5597]

Don't forget to show love!!

SouthernShutterBug I love this.

[@JohnSmith-xz5fb]

About time, so sick of bad corrupt evil news, can we get about 100,000 of these videos a day? Sure does something for the heart and soul, when you watch it. It does to me anyway. Love you Austin, keep up the good work.

[@lw216316]

Thank you Father for such a beautiful child. May your blessings be upon him.

[@MrTonyd1954]

sirthicen skoorb that’s where it all starts from day one. And sadly we have a child to show us how it’s done

[@demekabrooks5758]

He is a hero for feeding the homeless people. God bless you!

[@daimonmarioperez9501]

A child's inner value an "inoccents" that is eroded over time. By the influences of parents, teachers, and other children. In it's purest form you have a little boy named Austin. He doesn't see black or white , or brown. He sees the need to help others that don't have. I commend his parent for nurturing Austin's inner value. The children are our best hope for a better future...

[@toohoney8674]

That's really special.. great heart. I really do love kids. Such an evil thing when parents don't nurture their kids in this manner and do wrong by them, little man just wants to show love.

[@cloudyseattle]

Inspiring. He reminds me to show some love for those that need our help

[@MrTonyd1954]
