He spent the birthday money on hot dogs and supplies to feed evacuees fleeing the storm.
"I just wanted to give people something to eat, so they can get where they are going," Bell said. The young man said his life motto is "live to give."
Upon hearing of Bell's generosity and selflessness, Disney decided to give him and his family a free trip to the Magic Kingdom.

The lesson he's learned from all of this:
"Be strong. And if you do something good, good will come back to you," Bell said.
