Actress Octavia Spencer clearly has a good heart.

The ‘Hidden Figures’ star bought every ticket at a screening of her number one movie so that low income families could view the film, according to NY Daily News. 

“My mom would not have been able to afford to take me and my siblings. So, I’m honoring her and all single parents this #mlkweekend,” Spencer, 46, said via Instagram.

“If you know a family in need that would like to see our movie but can’t afford it have them come,” she wrote. “It’s first come first served.”
