Georgia boy helps senior citizen up stairs
When a young boy in Milledgeville saw a woman struggling to climb a flight of stairs, he decided to help out.
A sweet moment was caught on video showing a young boy in Georgia lend a helping hand to an older woman trying to get up a set of stairs.
The 8-year-old boy, Maurice Adams Jr., noticed the elderly lady making her way across the street by herself while he was riding in the car on the way back from a high school graduation with his family, WSB-TV reported Wednesday.

"He asked, 'Can I go out there and help her up the steps?’” Contricia Hill, the boy’s mom, told the outlet.
Adams Jr. went to the woman’s aid, seen in the video helping her up a set of outdoor steps as she attempted to maneuver her walker. The pair appeared to take each step one-by-one, as the boy held onto her back. When they reached the top, the pair hugged before the 8-year-old dashed back to the car.
