David Silk has always admired people who help others. He admires how they help people. When David was 7 years old, he told his parents, “I want to dress up like a superhero and help the homeless.” A few months later, David’s family planned a day of giving. Wearing his red superhero clothes, David’s happily helped hand out 70 bags of lunches to hungry people in a park in Detroit, Michigan. That’s how Super David was born.

Word spread about David’s good deeds. People donated money and something else, and David handed them out to those in need. When someone donated bottles of water. David and his family drove the car to take the water to Flint, Michigan, a city that had unsafe drinking water. Another time, a shop donated six turkeys to David for Thanksgiving. With his parents’ help, David used social media to ask for more turkeys. “In the end.” he said. “we handed out 64 turkey dinners to families all around Detroit.”

David has a motto(座右铭): Everyone can be a superhero to someone. At an event called the Hero Round Table, David told the listeners, “It’s not difficult to help people. You can keep some socks and snacks in your car to help people in need. Every little thing helps. And it can make others happy.”
