Taylor showed Edwards what to do, then started handing him each bottle of orange juice and container of milk so Edwards could put them on the right spot on the shelf, The AP reported.
Edwards' father recorded the moment that has gone viral.
“The guy’s patience and time with Jack Ryan was just beautiful,” Sid Edwards said. “He talked to him. He encouraged him. He worked with him.”
The story could have ended with the now-viral story. But Sid Edwards' daughter, and Jack Ryan's sister, Delaney Alwosaibi, took the story one step further, starting a GoFundMe page to help Taylor who had said he would like to go to college to become a teacher, WAFB reported.
So far in two days, the page has raised more than $100,000 for the Rouses grocery store employee
And Taylor's been noticed by schools who would love to see him among the ranks as their student, WAFB reported.
