You’re looking at a hero with a heart of gold. 💛 When Hurricane Helene hit, 8-year-old Grant saw firsthand the devastation it caused his community in Greenville, South Carolina. The morning after Helene made landfall, he joined his father in helping people clear the roads of debris. Grant's 8th birthday was just a few weeks later, and instead of celebrating with presents, he decided to dedicate his special day to raising funds for the Red Cross to help those affected by the disaster. “I was driving down the road and my wife sent me the link to Grant’s fundraiser. I got a little teary-eyed after I read it,” said Grant's father, Josh. “Using his birthday as a platform to raise money for the Red Cross — I thought that showed a lot of love and I was really proud of him.” Grant presented a check for over $2,100 to his local @RedCrossSC office and celebrated after with some well-deserved cake! Grant's act of kindness reminds us that no matter our age, we can all make a difference. You can provide hope and comfort for people in need when help can’t wait — take the first step in supporting people affected by disasters by donating to the Red Cross: rdcrss.org/4hu7QfW
