His mother, Isma Zubair, told ABC News on Friday that Zohaib has a \"heart of gold\" and that he was always thinking others.
\"President Obama's tweet was a huge surprise,\" she said. \"We are honored he chose to mention Zohaib's work. We hope it inspires others that you're never too small to make a difference.\"
She said that the family had even heard from people in France, Chile and Asia about how Zohaib's act of kindness had brought a smile to their faces during this difficult time.
\"We can no longer collect due to stay-at-home orders, but we continue to get calls of supplies and will be relaying back to hospitals or nursing homes in need,\" Zubair said.
Not only did Zohaib help some hospital workers in desperate need of protective equipment, he also shared that he'd completed a personal goal he'd set for himself.
\"My third mission was to beat the National Cathedral which gave 5,000 PPEs -- and I gave 6,009 PPEs,\" he said.
\"The hospitals are very happy,\" he said.
