Blake Durham, 6, recently prompted his mom to cover the cost of food for the car behind them at a McDonald's drive-thru, the BBC reported.
The little boy's mom, Amy Durham, said her son simply wanted to "do something kind," and that his gesture not only put a smile on the recipient's face — but it also sparked a chain reaction of people doing the same for one another.
Vehicle after vehicle paid it forward, buying food for the strangers behind them.
"It's amazing just a little boy's positivity like that can just cause a reaction like that," Amy said, according to the BBC. "It was just so lovely, such a lovely feeling."
Blake's grandmother, Jan, told The Sun that she was brought to tears by the kind act, proclaiming that Blake has a "gorgeous heart," despite facing health struggles following an epilepsy diagnosis when he was just 2 years old.
It hasn't been easy, but she said Blake is both brave and caring.
