WICHITA, Kan. -- A second-grader from Wichita, Kansas has a new friend after coming to the aid of another in need.

Christian's mom said she was overwhelmed by their interaction.

The good deed has gotten a huge response on social media -- showing how we can all get by with a little help from our friends.
