An eight-year-old boy is winning hearts on the social media after he was filmed helping an elderly woman with a walker climb up a flight of stairs.

The boy, Maurice Adams Jr. of Milledgeville, Georgia, rushed out of a car and went to help the elderly woman climb a flight of stairs when he saw her struggling, ABC News reported.

In a heartwarming moment, after they climbed the stairs together, the elderly woman hugged Maurice. She then went on her way, while Maurice happily ran back to the car.
