Romemylion Mitchell has been assisting Trent and Cianne Joyner with groceries and cutting their lawn - whatever they may need.

The Joyner's daughter, Tiki, shared photos of Mitchell visiting the couple in the hospital after her mom had a medical setback.

"I just want to take a moment and recognize this sweet fella that lives across the street from my parents," she wrote in a Facebook post.

"He checks on them every day and has grown to love and care for them deeply. He rides with Dad to the store, helps him shop and brings the groceries in.. he cuts the grass and whatever they may need. Not many 15 yr olds would take the time to care and be there for elderly neighbors."

She continued, "When he saw Mom today he busted out crying and just held her tight.. what a blessing and just wanted to pass on something heartwarming instead of the sad news we see and hear every day."
