疫情当下 英国7岁男孩用零花钱买厕纸送邻居老人

Jimmy-Dean Hudson, 7, and mum Tracy have been helping his OAP neighbours in his hometown of Westcliff in Essex by sending toilet rolls to them.

Tracy said, "We went to the supermarket on Sunday and there was no toilet roll in sight. We then visited our local shop that had loads and Jimmy-Dean just said 'Mum, let’s buy lots and give it to the people who need it the most.' When we got home, he packed a festival trolley with the toilet roll and we headed out. We met some lovely elderly people who were taken aback by his kind action. They said they never thought of it.” 

One elderly man in his 80s was telling them how worried he was and how in the war they didn't have this panic buying and communities pulled together to help. Jimmy-Dean has used his own money to do this. He doesn’t get a set amount. He does have some pocket money left but it’s going towards his next idea of buying snacks and drinks for local workers at Southend Hospital.

Tracy said, "I'm super, super proud of him, and he really has put smiles on many faces. All of his family, friends and school teachers are so proud of his kindness."
