Our hearts are exploding.
4-year-old Austin Perine is the superhero we all need. Upon discovering that homelessness was rife in his city of Birmingham, Alabama, the tenacious tot took matters into his own hands.
He asked his parents to use his allowance money and the money they would have spent on toys to feed the homeless instead.
We can't handle this level of cuteness- he even wears a red cape while feeding the hungry, calling himself 'President Austin'.

With each sandwich he tells them an important message "Don't forget to show love", before taking off to his next person in need.
“That’s his idea of what the president is supposed to do,” said TJ Perine, Austin’s father, while speaking to CBS News. “I was like, buddy, you have no idea, but hey, I’m going along with it.”
Why does this caped crusader take to the streets? The answer is simple.
“You know what, it’s just the right thing to do,” he says. “Feeding the homeless is the highlight of my life.”
Seeing that Austin frequents Burger King to gather his supplies, the chain has stepped up, saying that they're planning on helping the little President soon.
Austin's kindness and humanity has moved our entire team.
