Braydon’s disappearance from his mother’s sight at Walmart one day caused her a great deal of anxiety. When she finally located him, he was praying in front of a sign after a desperate search. She was taken aback and asked him what he was up to. A second glance revealed the sign’s message: “Every second counts,” alongside photos of missing youngsters.

While aimlessly walking, Braydon spotted the placard and immediately began praying for the missing children. Friends of the missing Aubrey Jayce Carroll thanked him for praying for him after his tale went viral.

Over 115,000 people shared the photo of Braydon in prayer on Facebook. About 800,000 children go missing every year in the United States. People of all faiths were encouraged to follow Braydon’s example of kindness.

Braydon’s gesture of generosity moved many people and demonstrated the power of compassion and cooperation in making the world a better place.
