According to the reports of Fox 5, DC Barbour’s mom cried when she heard that the story was being so widely shared. “Moore found it in her heart to want to make a difference for someone with special needs. Not for social media and not just to get people to like her for doing something so good, but from the kindness of her heart. She’s a very good friend to Tyuan and she’s planning on sticking beside him,” Antoinio Gray, Barbour’s cousin told the media.
Netizens were touched by the gesture and couldn’t stop gushing about it. “Thanks for showing us how we all should treat each other and how we want to be treated. God bless and have fun!” one of the viewers commented. “There is still love and compassion in some of the youth today. My heart is overwhelmed with love. God bless them both n their families,” said another.
