Wells and his friend were trying to ease the burden of needy people but didn’t know they would help that many.

''It was only two people when we got there. I ended up cutting nine hairs and had five more waiting. We ended up giving out at least 30 burgers,” Wells recalled, according to News3Channel.

Zac Sherrod, a friend of Well, came up with the idea to give free burgers. Sherrod paid for the food from his pocket.

Before embarking on the generous deed, Wells posted on Facebook asking if someone would like to help feed the homeless, to which Sherrod responded in the affirmative.

''We weren’t going to post it and publicise it at all, but God put it on my heart to post it. I hope it inspires somebody to go out and help somebody else,'' said Wells.

Next, Wells hopes to take those lessons to bless Memphis children.
