The enormity of Hurricane Ian’s destruction has inspired people nationwide to search for different ways to support the victims of the major storm system that rolled in on Florida’s west coast last week.
Dominic D’Andrea, a 7-year-old boy, has moved many people in a now-viral video where the young man said he’s gifting all the money in his piggy bank to help those devastated by Ian.
“What are you doing with your piggy bank?” D’Andrea’s mother, Jaclyn, is heard asking her son in the 37-second clip posted on TikTok.
D’Andrea, holding onto his piggy bank, responded that he’ll send it to “people in need in Florida because they have a hurricane and their office is gonna go down and they need more stuff.”
“Their house might go down and they might have nothing,” the boy went on to say. “I am giving them my whole piggy bank jar!”
“I was really saving up for a Corvette or an electric scooter, but people need this,” D’Andrea explained, looking at his piggy bank jar while having a conversation with his mother.
D’Andrea, joined by his mother on “Fox & Friends Weekend” on Oct. 2, explained what led to the boy’s generous gift.
“It all started with a conversation Wednesday morning on the way to drop the kids off at school,” Jaclyn told the network.
“Dominic asked a lot of questions: Why I was so upset and what a hurricane was, and I kind of knew where his little mind was going when we got back home,” she added.
