Touching moment boy, 5, made his mum buy food for a homeless man

A young boy brought a restaurant to tears when he begged his mother to buy a homeless man some food.

Josiah Duncan asked his mother why the man was so dirty and didn’t understand what homeless meant until she explained.


So his mum, Ava Faulk, bought the homeless man some food at the Waffle House in Prattville, Alabama.

But before he could eat it, Josiah insisted on saying grace with the homeless man and all the other people in the restaurant.

His mother contacted WSFA 12 News to tell them about what her son had done.

She said: ‘[The homeless man] came in and sat down and nobody really waited on him. So Josiah jumped up and asked him if he needed a menu because you can’t order without one.’

At first he just asked for bacon, but Ava insisted on giving him more than just that.

She added: ‘The man cried. I cried. Everybody cried.’
