Boy, 6, uses money saved for Disney World trip to help Hurricane Dorian evacuees in South Carolina
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}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.

Jermaine Bell was out with two handmade signs to serve Hurricane Dorian evacuees with hot dogs, chips, and water as they headed inland.
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.

“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.
