Inspirational 11-year-old has done more good in three years than most people will in a lifetime

Since the age of 8, humanitarian Jayden Perez has been on a mission to spread kindness and serve individuals, families and the community in times of need, as his latest project —“Blessings Bags” for the homeless—shows.

11-yo humanitarian is relentless in his mission of spreading kindness

Since the tender age of 8, relentless humanitarian and philanthropist Jayden Perez has been spreading kindness about like confetti. It all began when he wanted to help the people, children and pets affected by the hurricanes in Puerto Rico and Florida. Since then, the growing catalogue of his humanitarian achievements (below) is at once humbling and awe-inspiring. Imagine if everyone was as concerned about the welfare and wellbeing of others as Jayden Perez. He is an inspiration to us all.

Jayden’s “Blessings Bags” for the needy are much appreciated by those who receive them

Last week, MyPaperOnline reported that during the COVID pandemic, although Jayden Perez has been forced to abide by social distancing norms, that has not stopped him from helping. He purchased 1,500 hand sanitisers and distributed them to local schools, the library, police department, fire department and people in need. 

Jayden collected face masks and gloves to help out local hospitals. He also got a sewing machine and learned how to make face masks to help even more people. 

Jayden recently received a donation of numerous cases of water from Voss Water and distributed them to community front line workers and first responders. He donated to the WP Dialysis Center, First Aid Squad, Kessler Rehabilitation Center, Atlantic Dermatology, Little Falls Family Dental and his mail lady. He also gave water and bags filled with toiletries and snacks to the homeless in Paterson.

“We can’t just stay still,” said Jayden. “Now more than ever everyone has to come together and help spread some kindness.” 

Jayden’s latest act of kindness is handing out what he calls “Blessings Bags” of essentials among the homeless community of his city. 

Jayden’s Website, Facebook, and Instagram are helping to push forward his humanitarian missions of providing toys, clothes, food and necessities to children, families, front line workers and pets. From The Bottom of My Heart is a non-profit 501(c) organisation.
