At just six years old, Jaden Hayes has been through so much. He lost his Dad when he was 4, and then he lost his Mom just a few weeks ago when she died in her sleep, making him an orphan.
You would think that after losing two such important people Jayden wouldn’t be so happy. But he’s tired of seeing how sad everyone is all the time, so he’s decided he wants to change that.
To put his plan into action, he asked his Aunt Barbara for help in buying a few little toy ducks and dinosaurs but he didn’t want them for himself.
Instead, he’s giving them away to people he doesn’t even know.
He likes to walk around downtown Savannah, GA, and find people who aren’t smiling. When he spots them, he walks right up to them and hands them a toy.
Sometimes people say nothing to him but thank you and keep on walking. But other times, he gets hugs and makes these strangers shed a few tears.
“It’s like sheer joy came out of this child,” his aunt said. “The more people he made smile, the more his light shone.”
Jayden has made people smile four different times, and he plans on doing it again and again until everyone is smiling and not so sad anymore.
If Jayden made you smile, please SHARE his story with your friends on Facebook!
