Little Boy, Big Heart

CARROLLTON, GA (CBS ATLANTA) -
Bradley Thomas earned his yellow belt in Taekwondo, but it is what the 7-year-old Canton boy is doing from the heart that has earned him praise.

Bradley decided to help a family have Christmas as part of his Taekwondo community service project.

Dewayne Thomas was surprised when his son came up with the idea. He said Bradley knew the Moody family had lost their Villa Rica home in an April fire.

Kelly Moody, her husband, 12-year-old son and twin 10-year-old girls live in a small, cramped hotel room. They did not have renter's insurance and had nowhere else to go.

Moody said getting by day-to-day is hard enough, and can't even think about Christmas.

Since the beginning of October, Bradley has spent his spare time earning money. He helps the neighbors and collects money at church.

"Helping organize stuff, a lot of stuff. I keep on forgetting what I do," said Bradley.

He has earned $300.50 to buy presents for the Moody children, but it's not just money he has raised.

Bradley was supposed to stop in October, but has been so successful that he will continue through November. It's just nice to hear that someone out there is working to make the world better, and this one child was able to bring a whole family hope and cheer. They will never forget this, and neither will he.

The article links to it, but I'll list it here as well. Anyone who wants to help can email his father at dewayne_1980@hotmail.com.

Looks like Christmas really does start earlier every year!
