Boy helping the homeless community in his city surprised with a vacation to Walt Disney World Resort
This young man used his Christmas money to buy survival supplies for a homeless man. Now, he's made it his mission to help the homeless community in his city."Every day is a day to help someone in need," says 12-year-old Ethan Hill, "that's what I live by pretty much. It's important to treat people how you want to be treated, so if you need help at the end of the day, people won't be hesitant to help you.
At just six years old, Ethan was driving with his mother to school when he noticed the same homeless man sitting outside in the cold. "He asked why is he out there," recalls his mother Ebony Hill, "he didn't like it, it just didn't sit well with him." That Christmas, Ethan spent the $100 his aunt sent him as a gift to get survival supplies for the homeless man.
Along with his father, David W. Hill Jr., the family gave away the supplies but quickly learned that there was a larger homeless community in need. "He got distraught and destroyed in the car because he couldn't help the rest of the people that were out there," says his father, "I helped them, but I didn't help everybody."
From there, Ethan decided he was going to do whatever it took to help as many people as he could. Through social media, friends, family, and his church, Ethan raised money each year to give supplies to the homeless. During the pandemic, he applied to become a non-profit, andToday, he's raised enough money to purchase a mobile store that is filled with survival supplies which they're able to drive around town and help those in need.
Don't forget to tune in this Sunday, 11/27, to Disney's Magical Holiday Celebration to see Ethan's trip! You'll also see special performances by Run DMC, Meghan Trainor and more! It all starts at 8/7c.
