A baby's suffering, whether from sickness or other causes, can be hard on the entire family. For one baby, however, her brother came to the rescue. The brother's adorable reaction upon finding out he is the perfect match to save his baby sister Josie Ann’s life was caught on video and posted by his parents on an Instagram page they set up in her honor.

Suffice it to say, the video has warmed people's hearts on the internet.

Josie was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at 11 weeks old. She went through treatment and was in remission before she relapsed at 26 months old. The family was in a room when the dad announced that they had found a perfect match and a 5/10 for a transplant among her sister Kinley and brother Kayden, which would save Josie's life. "We have one perfect match and one 5/10. So who wants to be a perfect match?" the dad asked. The boy raised his hand as both siblings waited with bated breath. "Kinley, you are a 5/10," the mom told the girl. The siblings immediately realized who the perfect match was, and the boy started jumping and running around celebrating the news.

"I got the match!" the boy repeated. He cheered as he continued celebrating with his older sister. They kept cheering and laughing as their mom told them, "That's amazing. You are Josie's hero." The boy gave his little sister a big hug and was overcome with joy. "Kayden, please save Josie," Kinley told her brother as the siblings hugged each other. "I will!" he remarked.

The caption to the post read, "The MATCH! Who is our Hero? Feeling blessed, grateful, and confident Josie will have her forever cure! This sweet 6-year-old boy is a HERO!" People took to the comments section to express their thoughts and celebrate the bond between the siblings.

Sending your family lots of love, hugs, and prayers!" @rarelifemom commented, "I love this. My 3-week-old son is a match for his two older sisters who are 3 and 5 years old…I hope that one day he is like your son and embraces his role as a hero if it comes to him needing to donate."

@jmac723 remarked, "As a fellow ALL family….This is the most endearing thing ever. Thank you guys for sharing such an incredible moment." @carla_r_26 shared, "This is super super gorgeous! The most precious reaction. My only worry watching this and please forgive my negativity, Just be careful with that little boy's heart. I know you don't want to think the worst but god forbid it happens, he is so little himself that he may feel responsible if it doesn't work. Please be careful what you say. 'You are her cure' so heavy on him. Praying for the greatest outcome for you all!" @ele_gago expressed, "They are both superheroes. His brother has given her the most beautiful gift, life. Congratulations on having a wonderful family!"
