Ever since Daniel’s little sister Abigail got a pet hamster for her 6th birthday in February, Daniel was determined to get one of his own.
Daniel, 9, has gone above and beyond in his regular household chores to prove to his parents he deserved one. Mom, Rachel Stout told abcnews.com, “He really went above and beyond. He was scrubbing the bathroom floor and even cleaning out the garage.”
Daniel’s little sister could see how hard he was working and decided to give him the surprise of a lifetime using her birthday money she’s gotten as gifts.
“We added up Abigail’s birthday money and gift cards and she had $55 total,” Rachel wrote on her Facebook video. “I asked her what she wanted to do with her money and she says, ‘I want to surprise Daniel and buy him his hamster. He has been working soooo hard.’ I asked her numerous times of she was sure that’s what she wanted to do with her money and she never faltered.”
Abigail waited until Daniel was having a sleepover at a friend’s house, and she and her mom stuck out to the pet store to buy Daniel a hamster. “She asked for the exact hamster Daniel said he wanted, held it to make sure it was nice and excitedly told the woman all about how she was surprising her brother,” Rachel wrote.
When Daniel returned home, Abigail was so excited to present Daniel with his hamster, and mom captured the special moment on camera to show her husband, Dan, once he got home from work.
“It’s been pretty crazy,” Rachel said told abcnews. “People have written to me telling me they’ve been dealing with really difficult things lately and this was the only thing that’s put a smile on their face. That’s awful that they’re going through hard times, but I’m glad my kids made them happy.”
