This 6-year-old boy’s ultimate birthday wish is apparently to serve others.

Jermaine Bell turns 7 on Sept. 8, and his family has been saving up money to go to Disney World. But as Hurricane Dorian set its sights on the Southeast, Bell wanted to instead spend Labor Day weekend in South Carolina.

“The people that are traveling to go to places, I wanted them to have some food to eat, so they can enjoy the ride to the place that they’re going to stay at,” Bell told WJBF.

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster ordered mandatory evacuations along the state’s 190-mile coast and turned all lanes of Interstate 26 into a one-way evacuation route heading west as the storm threatened to impact the state.

On Tuesday, the 6-year-old was out with his family along Highway 125 in Allendale, S.C. with two handmade signs to serve evacuees hot dogs, chips, and water as they headed inland. Allendale is located about 90 miles west of Charleston.

“I wanted to be generous and live to give,” he told WJBF.

Bell ended up serving nearly 100 evacuees during the day.

Bell’s grandmother, Aretha Grant, said her grandson did more than just serve food and drinks for evacuees.

“He actually even prayed for a family while they were here in reference to their house being OK when they got back, so that was really tear dropping,” she told WJBF.

Bell said he hopes when Dorian finally passes by he could continue to make his way to Disney World for a birthday celebration.

His mother, Lauren, said on Facebook she couldn’t believe how selfless her son is and that she plans to take him on the trip very soon, according to FOX35.

And here’s why:

Housing costs are the single biggest financial burden facing Americans today.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development define being cost-burdened as spending more than a third of your income on rent. By that definition, over half of the households in this country are cost-burdened. Source

If we want people to be able to afford to live in cities and not get priced out, we have to make a two pronged approach. One is to build houses towards all incomes and price ranges, not just luxury condos. And the other is a robust wage floor so people can actually afford to live.

Fight for 15 is doing an amazing job and I love them, but we have to realize that is quite a few places, $15/hr still isn’t enough to live on.

Which is where the 2% comes in. It allows a minimum wage that is flexible with regards to the costs of living.

And it wasn’t plucked out of thin air either:

Rent should be a third of a persons income, or to restate the equation: income should be three times a person’s rent.

And since a full time job is 8 hrs a day / 40 hrs a week / 160 hrs a month.

San Francisco: $67.40/hr

New York City: $56/hr

Boston: $55.94/hr

Los Angeles: $27/hr

Houston: $21.38/hr

St. Louis: $18.22/hr
