Meet a kind hearted 10-year-old boy, who spends all his pocket money on buying fabric and tools to make clothes for homeless kids, in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

The idea of helping those in need came to Xavier Elliott, after his father, the US Army veteran, returned home from war with post-traumatic stress disorder, and the family ended up in six different homeless shelters. For a long time they were struggling to make their both ends meet and know how it feels when you don’t have a roof above your head.
Now as the family is back on their feet, the 10-year-old is incredibly grateful for everything he has and wants to help other people. The boy has learnt how to use his mother’s sewing machine and when Xavier has free time he sews clothes, which will be donated to local shelters.

The teen also hopes that his charity project will inspire people to help each other in an hour of need. He said: “We have so much stuff. I think we should give stuff to homeless kids. I hope it encourages other people to help me, so I could help other people.”
Xavier’s mother Stephanie, who taught him the basics on her sewing machine, added: “I think the idea came to him from everything we have endured and wanting to make a difference for other people. I’ve gotten tons of donations for him. I am so proud. He’s doing really good.”
