7-Year-Old Helps Elderly During Coronavirus

Cavanaugh’s grandmother has asthma, so to prevent her from having to go out to the grocery store during the coronavirus pandemic, he and his family shopped for her. That gave him the idea to help other elderly people for whom grocery shopping is a risk.

To make the story even more amazing, Cavanaugh used his $600 savings to pay for the first care packages, which included hygiene products and food. According to Now This, Cavanaugh has delivered over 125 care packages so far, as well as providing hot meals to the elderly and donating food to students from low-income families.

According to Cavanaugh’s non-profit website, he’s been able to create a community pantry (called Love is Greater Than COVID-19) with the goal of helping 1,000 people in need. “It makes me feel beautiful inside to help others during this scary time,” he said.
