The pic has later become a popular meme and Sam was nicknamed &#8220;Success Kid&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Sam went viral again, and this time for a good cause. His father, Justin Griner, was urgently in need of a new kidney, but the family couldn\u2019t afford the operation. Consequently, his mother Laney set up a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/opp5cs\">GoFundMe page<\/a>, asking for the $75\u00a0000 that would be needed for the treatment. The fund went viral, and they passed their goal within one week! Success kid used his power to save his dad.
