Daniel Mulligan, a 6-year-old boy with autism loves routines! One of those routines involved waiting for the trash man every Monday morning for trash pickup. Than one Monday a random act of kindness that happened to Daniel went viral…

Manuel Sanchez, the Mulligan families garbage collector walked up to Daniel with a brown paper bag. Daniel looked confused for a second until Manuel revealed a small toy garbage truck for Daniel inside the bag. Daniel had recently become obsessed with garbage trucks after a YouTube video he saw.

What a thoughtful gesture! Way to go Manuel! You can read more of this story at NBC Los Angeles here.
