题目内容:
America’s latest superhero Austin Perine,who calls himself President Austin,is now taking the country by storm.But he is not a typical superhero.Two things set him apart:He doesn’t fight human enemies,but hunger and homelessness.Also,he’s only four years old.
Our superhero’s origin story started from the day when TJ Perine,his father,took Austin to the Firehouse Ministries,a local shelter that provides housing,food and other services for the homeless.As they drove by the building,they saw a group of 25 homeless men standing on the street corner.That day,Austin used his allowance to buy each man a sandwich and handed the food out himself with his slogan,“Don’t forget to show love!”
After he returned every week for five weeks in a row,word of Austin’s kindness spread through social media.Austin and TJ could feed 25 to 50 people at a time before,and now,thanks to community support,they can feed 800 to 2,000 people.
But Austin isn’t merely filling stomachs.He has been improving the lives of the homeless people he meets.On that first trip to Firehouse Ministries,TJ and Austin talked to a poor man named Raymont.The respect Austin showed for him touched 41-year-old Raymont,who regained his confidence in life and finally found a job with the help of TJ.All that was made possible because a little boy took the time to care.
Austin’s passion has become his family’s calling.After raising money through a GoFundMe page,Audrey,TJ’s mother established the nonprofit Show Love Foundation,dedicated to fighting homelessness. She now serves as president,and TJ oversees public relations for the foundation full time.They offer medical and mental health care as preventive steps against homelessness.
As for President Austin,he continues to give out food,smiles,and his inspirational message of love.“It makes me feel like I’m saving the day,”he said proudly.
