Eddie could see that his daughter wanted to help. After being served a plate filled with delicious steak and potatoes, she looked up at her father and asked him a simple question.

SHE GAVE HIM HER MEAL

AN UNEXPECTED PHONE CALL

A server at the restaurant revealed that Salkowski returned the plate and shared that he was immensely grateful. After the clip went viral, Ella and Eddie received an unexpected phone call. A teary woman contacted them.

It was Salkowski's sister, Roseanne. She shared that her brother was a veteran who had post-traumatic stress disorder. Thanks to the video, she knew he was alive, and the Scotts hoped their clip would help the siblings reunite.

ANOTHER YOUNGSTER HELPED THE HOMELESS

Another youngster helped a homeless man in 2015, and she changed his life forever. The Guilford, Connecticut resident's simple act of kindness, which included buying him coffee and a bagel, stopped a man from taking his own life.

Casey Fischer spent some time chatting with the homeless man she had just helped, and when he left, he handed her a note. He told her he planned to end his life, but her gesture gave him hope for the future.

Both Fischer and Ella were selfless, and their actions undoubtedly made a difference. They set an example that you can always lend a helping hand no matter how young you are.
