He’s only 4-year-old, but Austin Perine is a superhero to the homeless on a weekly basis! We wanna give a shout out to a superhero named Austin Perine who hands chicken sandwiches to homeless men outside a shelter in Birmingham, Alabama.
Despite the sweltering heat or the cold Austin Perine proves his message “SHOW LOVE” overrides any weather. Read on…
CelebNMusic247.com is blown away by Austin Perine who says that he wears his red satin cape because it makes him go faster and “It blows in the wind,” according to our hero.
CNN reported on Austin Perine, but we had to talk about his amazing efforts since he is only 4-years-old.
Austin has his very own side kick, his dad TJ Perine who is the man behind the budget to help his son achieve his mission. The pint-sized superhero has become a familiar face to the homeless men and women congregated on the sidewalk outside the Firehouse Ministries’ red brick building.
Austin drops off meals on a weekly basis, or as he calls it “giving food and smiles.” He wears a symbol on his chest that reads “#ShowLove.”
The young superhero explains:
Show love means, you care about someone no matter what they look like.
His superhero motto is “Show Love”
Austin’s father explains how he loves being called a superhero:
He likes being called a superhero. He’s his own entity — ‘President Austin.’ He doesn’t like being called Superman.
His dad adds:
Austin is just a compassionate kid. He just wants to see everybody happy.
If you didn’t know, Austin’s compassion is centered around his older brother Taylor, 16, who struggles with autism.
Austin proved he was selfless when he agreed that he would use his allowance to buy food instead of a weekly toy. Word spread of Austin’s mission, as he became a local celebrity, appearing in TV shows, news article and social media posts.
Word traveled to Burger King, and now they have given him a monthly budget of $1,000 monthly allowance for a year so he could fulfill his mission, a spokesman for the company said.
