This kid fights hunger and homelessnessAustin Perine is only four years old. His story started this past February in the living room in Birmingham. Austin and his father, TJ Perine, were watching a program about a mother panda leaving her babies. “I told him that the babies would be homeless for a while,” TJ says. “Austin didn't know what homelessness meant, but he was sad and wanted to know more.” Seeing this as a teachable moment, TJ took Austin to the Firehouse Ministries, a local shelter (救济中心) that provides housing and food for homeless men.As they drove by, they saw 25 homeless men standing on the street corner. “Dad, they look sad,” Austin said. “Can we take them some food and make them smile?”Austin used his pocket money to buy each man a Burger King hamburger and handed thefood out himself. Seeing what the burgers meant to the men, Austin returned the next week.He handed out burgers along with his catchphrase (口号), “Don't forget to show love!”After he returned for five weeks, word of Austin's acts of kindness spread throughsocial⁃media. Burger King agreed to donate (捐赠) $1 000 a month for a year to feed thehomeless. Soon, churches and shelters began inviting Austin to give out food in poor areas.Thanks to social support, now Austin and TJ can feed 800 to 2 000 people at once.But Austin isn't just filling bellies.
