Giving a Homeless Family a New Home for Christmas!
Check out PART II on getting Ann into her new apartment:
kzread.info/dash/bejne/nHqeyJSRf9qdntI.html
A homeless woman caught a guy trying to steal my bike. So I invited her and her son over for Christmas.
A couple months ago I came outside and found a homeless woman named Ann on my stoop next to where I park my Vespa. We talked for a bit and I told her that there is a child with special needs in the building and I would appreciate it if she didn't hang out there. She totally understood. Whenever I’d see her on my neighbor’s stoop she says hi. A few nights later when she was asleep on my neighbor's stoop she caught a guy trying to steal my Vespa. She chased the dude off.
Ann is a single mother who lost her home to medical debt. Her son has been in foster care while she sleeps on the street so that she can finish her treatment. So I was surprised last week when she told me they were getting off the streets and into a new apartment. I asked her what I could get her for her unfurnished apartment. She said, "Nothing for me, I just wish I could give my son a real Christmas." I didn't know what to do so I told her, "Have your son write a letter to Santa. I'll make sure he gets it." He wrote: "Dear santa if u can save mommy and don't let her die I don't want any gifts. That's what I want most. After that I want clothing and food for me and mamma. A scooter, tv, video games for learning, hatchimal, gloves scarf and hat set and mommy to get off her meds and never have to feel sick or sad again." How could I not get a scooter for the guy whose mom saved mine from getting stolen?
Merry Christmas, Anthony. You'll be able to start the New Year with your mom and help her get better. Santa is furnishing your new apartment. I hope you like Star Wars sheets and don't mind eating mac and cheese a couple nights a week. Thanks for being tough for your mamma. Tough guys ride tough bikes.

The smile on his little face . He deserved a Christmas like that. Amazing job man
"...she sleeps on the street so that she can finish her treatment" - This sentence could be totally avoidable if the people at the top gave a shit about normal people just trying to live their lives. No one should lose their homes whilst trying to live their lives. Brendan... What a guy. That little dudes smile was worth it all.
"a new home " alil misleading but still an amazing story , well done to you and all those who donated

This is how a criticism (no matter how small) should be written, well done mate 👏
The Christmas letter broke my heart, I’m so glad that helped them out.
This guy went through the trouble to get someone back up on their feet. That totally earns my respect. Honestly, with only 89K views, this is being underwhelmed. Also, he doesn’t have many subscribers; he’s so underrated! Can we do something in return for the greatness he’s given to others? Let’s do this! :)

it might have to do with the fact he click baited dont get me wrong the vids still sweet but ppl dont like being tricked
The joy on this little boys face when he could enjoy a normal christmas with his mom .... it made me tear up. Good Job Bro! GG WP
Being a single mom and having been homeless with a two year old son, warms my heart to see this clip. I used to take 6 buses a day in all sorts of weather to take my son to day care and back home. Finally moved across town to an apt that had mice. So, when I look at this mom and her adorable son, I almost have faith in mankind. thank Gd my son is a wonderful young family man with a kind and generous heart although he and his wife have numerous challenges. Am so happy when I am able thank Gd to help them. Happy and safe holidays everyone.
Good thing there is still good people in the word 🙂
Wonder where they are today? Such a feel good story, hope they are doing well!

Jesus, you're an incredible person!!
You are amazing! You are going to be the best dad when you have kids.
How beautiful is it that the number one thing he wants is Mom to be well, even if he got nothing else.
This is compassion at its best❤ I hope they are well and have got their lives in order. And God bless you who opened your heart to them, and all who helped ❤❤❤ 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
What a lovely Christmas you provided for a Mom and her Son. God bless you.
To see that little boy so excited and smile and be truly grateful for EVERY single little thing he got!!!!!

@@atrumphasmatis6719 sister, I’ve worked in child welfare. I am glad the kid got a great Christmas, but the way she told her story was obviously not true. There is helping people and getting scammed, and then there is just naive. Street smarts is not a bad thing. Again, I am glad for the child, but now he is filled with false hope that he will be back with his mother. She needs stable income as well. She needs to be clean, but how is she supposed to get clean if she doesn’t hit a rock bottom? They should have just stuck with getting the kid gifts.

@@Vincenza8907 first of all I’m a guy and that’s my deceased mother in the pic with me. You seem very jaded and hateful, must be a sad life you live. Constantly looking out to make sure someone isn’t scamming you blinds you to the people who really needs and deserves help. Even drug addicts deserve help and hope. What would the world be like if everyone felt that just because she’s an addict she deserves nothing. You don’t KNOW anything about this woman except what you heard on the video and what you ASSUME.
What a wonderful group of people that all came together to make a mom and son happy on Christmas 🎄. Thankyou all for showing many what love is all about.
FIRST off I am not saying this to sound mean THIS LADY is doing everything to change her life. and I believe if some how someone could help her by paying for teeth implants or dentures, it would truly turn her life around in so many ways including helping her find a job or better job and not be looked at as someone with an addiction. GOD bless her and all those who helped her.
A wonderful video. You gave the Mom and the young boy a Christmas to remember. Well done.
Thank you for giving to this beautiful family. Really touched my heart in a big way. This is what life is all about....giving to each other.
Wow so heartfelt, what a strong young man...just beautiful....
this is so nice. God's love and blessings to all!
There are amazing people in this world willing to help total strangers. Look how one act of kindness turned into one of the happiest days this child might have. I hope his Mom gets better health soon. Children shouldn't have those types of responsibilities but unfortunately many do in these days. Blessings
This is making me cry I love this and God bless you all!!!
You are just what that little boy needs. God bless you!!
You are an amazing young man to help that family
wasn't that the best Christmas for you ever changing the world one person at a time by one person at a time!! Great day!!Thanks for sharing to show us all what a single person can start!!
Praying for Momma and her truly beautiful child she is raising. GOD BLESS YOU YOUNG MAN!!! I KNOW YOU made a difference for ever not just in their lives but yours as well.
What a wonderful story. Christmas thru the eyes of a child
This may have been but a moment in your life, maybe a memory you will always hold close. but to that little boy this was a change of life path and will always impact him forever. amazing video and thank you for doing this for people who need it.
Just for that moment, all their pain went away . How excited he was , God bless . What a wonderful experience

You are a absolute blessing 💝
Once a friend sent her children's old clothes to my niece . They were so excited & happy you would have thought they were brand new. When children don't have a lot they can be extremely grateful. As a teacher I was talking to the guidance counselor. She told me about a new immigrant mother, her 5 year old son & their situation. I spoke to his teacher & My husband & I went shopping & wrapped a million Christmas gifts. When we bought them to her house to put under the tree, she broke down & cried. Welcome to the real America! Glad you are here!
I thought he was going to give her and her son and new home to live in, but it was super sweet of him to get all them presents for them. just thought i was going to see them getting a new home and didn't.
