Evoni Williams, 18 years old, works as a server at a Waffle House restaurant in LA Marque city, Texas state (USA).

One day in early February 2018, Evoni was working as usual when he noticed an elderly man struggling to cut his own food. “My hands had lost all strength and coordination,” the man explained.

Naturally, the kind girl turned to help him. At that moment, someone saw and took a picture.

The photo then went viral thanks to people sharing it. And now many others want to help Evoni.

One of the donors was Texas Southern University, which awarded the girl a $16,000 scholarship.

The mother and daughter cried when they received the check and certificate of appreciation for their kindness.

"I was taught to always help and give to others," Evoni said honestly.

And a happy ending for Evoni - Photo: ABC News
