Paris Williams is six years old. Like many of her first-grade peers, she's adorable, but this little girl is also driven by a mission to help others who are less fortunate. So driven in fact, that she's launched her own nonprofit foundation, Paris Cares, to feed the homeless in her area.

Paris's mom, Alicia Marshall, says her daughter's inspiration to become a hands-on good Samaritan was the title character of Cari Chadwick Deal's children's book, "One Boy's Magic," who also uses his powers to feed the homeless.

"She was reading books at school about giving and she came home one day, and she was like, 'I want to give back to the homeless. What can we do to help the homeless?' Marshall told KTVI FOX 2 News. "We kind of brainstormed some ideas and we came up making care packages."

"I wanted to give something to the homeless," Paris explained, "like the boy in the book."

Paris might not have had a magic wand, but she didn't let that stop her.

Turning instead to more practical magic and the help of her parents, Paris assembled and delivered (via non-contact drop off) more than 500 care packages containing food and other essentials to downtown St. Louis's homeless, as well as handing out approximately 250 meals to essential workers.

But Paris wasn't satisfied to simply donate goods. It was important to her to forge a bond with the people she was trying to help. After filling each package herself, Paris drew a picture or wrote a personal message on each one to create the kind of human connection so many of the homeless sorely lack.

"It makes me really proud because with everything that's going on in the world this small child who is entering first grade has such a big heart," Marshall said. "She wants to give. She wants to help others."

Paris has already accomplished a lot by anyone's standards, but if she has her way, she's only just getting started. She's looking toward holding a Thanksgiving hot-food drive for the homeless and also hopes to start a Christmas toy fund for kids in need.

"I want to inspire people to do good things," Paris said.

Out of the mouths of babes, it seems, comes not only wisdom and truth, but kindness and generosity as well.

If you'd like to pitch in to help Paris feed the homeless, donations can be made directly to Paris Cares Foundation, or you can purchase Paris Cares masks and T-shirts via her Bonfire Account.
