Huge hug from Ontario!!! There needs to be more people like this woman! She made so many peoples days.. god bless her.

What a wonderful campaign...to spread a very simple message....that someone out there cares. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

Love this woman. She's such an inspiration, and she did everything with a smile. God bless. :)

I LOVE NYC!!! I love the people, love the crowds, love the traffic, even love the smell! I LOVE NYC!!!

The smiles on the people's faces after the hug, are just beautiful. And it's amazing how much a hug can do for someone.

Those are some REAL HUGS!! Look at her face, she loves doing this! We NEED MORE PEOPLE DOING THIS, LIKE THIS, IN THE WORLD! LETS START TODAY!

This woman has a beautiful soul.

One of my long-time favorites! Shared a dozen times♥

I love this!

Everytime i see a man/woman with free hug, i give him/her a hug :)

Human contact is a very rare privilege nowadays, these people don't know how warm and wonderful that simple gesture can be. Great job guys

i loved the this! especially the longer hugs, you can almost actually feel the embrace. :)

The world needs more people like this. Love This!

Look at the passion in her face while hugging.................very moving..........she is 100% sincere.

Brilliant idea, spread this throughout the world. The person who thought this up should be given a medal.

This is so touching. It brought tears to my eyes .Loved it.

Hugs are truly a beautiful thing, and she looks like she give great hugs, puts a lot of emotion in it and closes her eyes with every hug

I love this so much, it almost makes me cry because so often I think people in general feel alone and don't get embraced enough.

i just love this video...a hug is soo powerful....God bless u guys!

It's interesting how different the hugs are; some people hug with joy, and others with real need, and Sonia seems very intuitive; it's not about her, it's about the person she's hugging. Love the girl at 4:27, I thought she was going to knock Sonia over for her hug! lol Such a wonderful video.

I watched it,and did,an unabashed embrace..pure empathy going on there,that woman needed that hug

I'm a 56 year old man and I just started crying watching this. Jeez. I haven't cried for 5 years.

Best "Free Hugs" video i've seen besides the original. The woman hugs really seemed to emit true feeling and meaning. bravo and *hugs*

Thumbs down on a free hugs video? Really? I love 'em!

I would want to run into that woman.. hugging sooo intimate..

I mean c'mon, this is just what the world needs right now... A big hug! so a big hug from Massachusetts

Hats Up for this beautiful Lady.. Love From Saudi Arabia

She hugs everyone with passion. For that one second in all those peoples lives there is no war, there is no debt, politics. Even if we go back to our lives after that one second, we were reminded that we are human after all. Btw all of you arguing, YOU NEED A HUG! /hugs everyone!

Brilliant Just Absolutly Brilliant i think shes got to be one of the best huggers out there. well done your the best attraction NY has to offer !

I love this woman! She is just beautiful!

*smiling very big*!!! Beautiful video....wish I was a recipient to one of those warm hugs! ((hugs)) from Melbourne Australia xx

This was amazing, G-d bless. Thank you!!!

I did this I college. It makes you so happy. Its almost therapeutic!

Thanks. You are giving decent free hugs. In some vids it looks like the huggers and the hugees are scared to touch, but you give a good embrace. Thankyou.

Beautiful :) a simple hug can make anyones day so much better! With everything going on in peopls lives nowadays, we tend to forget we are all human and all we really need is love. Even if its from a kind stranger. :)

LOL I love the other guy who is holding the other sign "Hugs 50 cents" 2:14

Beautiful hug gives much happiness our spirit

Perfect video. Perfect music to match. Very nice, Thanks

that was the best free hug vid i've ever seen!

Okay, shes really adorable I wish I could be in New York just to hug her

she'd have gotten a bear hug from me..a light toss in the air,arms around the waist,maybe a spin..what a sweetheart

This is so, so wonderful. I hope I can experience this at least once!

They make beautiful world..Thank you!

what a great hugger she is. Hug from California

She's a Great Hugger.. She really means it!!

Damn! Some women are angels! The one in white in this video most certainly is one. This is a good, effective idea for spreading joy and peace in first world nations with open cultures. Consider me a fan.

Great hugs! Excellent movement! Hug a stranger today!

Good video and good responses to your "free hugs" campaign. New York has a lot more heart than many people give it credit for.

I can feel the love of this video! I wish I could have a hug! or give a hug! SHARE a HUG!!!

how could this even get 1 negative vote. shame on them. this video brought tears to my eyes. thank you

You can't help but smile at the beauty of this ...God help us believe that such beauty exists everywhere and in everyone,a day will come when one doesn't have to carry a sign and pull it out of some.....better yet....it will shine through all =) peace and love people PEACE and LOVE

Many people needs only simple hug, it's magic of human touch and love

I wish that the world is loving each other like that , and everyone is hugging one another , no wars , no violence , Only peace exists .. But ...
