God bless you Troy. I grew up in an Orphanage in Saigon from 65 to 69 during the Vietnam war after loosing my whole family. It was a miserable childhood. Currently living and doing well in the the US. i plan to leave all my wealth to help these poor children back in my home country. My son and daughters that I've raised here in the US dont need a dime since I've raised them well. AND DOING VERY WELL in their career paths. It would be awesome to cross paths and meet the legend Troy when I plan to visit in 2023

Ditto, except I might have said "struggling people on the street". But yes, great video.
It's always someone else's fault they are not in school. It's obvious they never will be.......that scooter never left Saigon when you bought it. ( For those who may not know, the mother told Troy she had sent the scooter to the little girl's twin sister, at their home town, when he next saw them.) It was sold the minute your back was turned. I guess that sounds hateful and negative, but it's the reality of a poor person in a poor nation. I so wanted that little girl to have some fun in her life. I remember how thrilled she was to get it.

I hear what you're saying Troy. On one hand it was great to help the girl by buying her last 15 tickets. But on the other hand, what if her mom starts giving her more tickets to sell now since she sold all of hers on that day? Could be more beatings coming. But you did the same thing that I would have done. Keep up the great work Troy!

Society is so fickle, that it's even hard to truly see if the action brings positive or negative outcomes. Not saying not to give, but I had exactly the same thoughts as you. If you give the money, and then parents see that, and start threatening kids even more, because they know it will bring in more money if they go out there scared and crying. And after some time, expectations could become unrealistic, fear in child growing more, and punishment from the parents being harsher as they got used to more money. But what else can you do? Not giving doesn't exactly seem like a choice either; as this might be what tips the scale for the positive for the child, like being able to afford housing/food and sending the child to school.

It's so sad. While I don't see many homeless kids or kids like these here in Hawaii, but in my homeland Philippines there's soooooo soooooo much kids like these even in worse positions. I can't help but help them. But once someone sees you help one the rest will come and beg you. There's only so much you can give you know what I mean? I'm not rich. It's soooo sad
Wow. This reminds me of one of your earlier vids from eons ago. A girl on the side of the road crying because she was stuck with unsellable tickets and was scared of being hit. This definitely sucks. Beating your kids because they're failing to do something they really shouldn't be doing in the first place, that you make them do, is horrible.

He wanted to know if she was being serious about it or making a joke out of it like yea they will beat me if I don't do what I am supposed to sell lol just kidding. Once he saw she was serious and was crying because she had 15 tickets or whatever left and the sister came and verified yea if they have more then 10 mom will punish them then he bought the rest of her tickets. He definitely wasn't laughing at the situation I think it was pretty clear to see in the video how upsetting that was for him to hear especially at the end when he was talking about the North compared to the South and how messed up the South was because you would not see that type of behavior in the North. The poverty in the South obviously is much harsher and the parents don't do what they are supposed to be doing for their children to succeed and lift them out of that life, it's sad to see kids growing up in extreme poverty with parents that are more interested in using them as meal tickets then doing whatever they have to do in order to give them a chance at a good future.

Children need to be loved and taken care of by their parents. Her mother is doing so much psychological harm to her daughter. Children are supposed to be provided for by their parents and not have to provide for their parents. Parents like her mother shouldn't have children. Praying that she will grow up with lots of success and to know what love is. Seeing her crying is so heartbreaking and I just hope that she can sell the tickets so that she won't have to be scared of getting beat when she goes home. She needs to be very careful with the money so that she doesn't get robbed. Why do people have to be so evil especially towards children?

Perhaps you should ask Troy to arrange for you to sponsor that family on a regular basis.

I was born in a poor family. As a child, I have a loving parents protect me so that I did not feel I was lack of anything. But I remember my mom could not even buy me a bowl of pho. I grow up in US but still have few memories of those time so I understand and sympathize families in that situation. I do a lot of charity, at least more charity than average person. I learned that most families in poverty typically make a lot of babies, like 8 kids. Not sure lack of birth control or lack of education in such topic. Those kids work to help support the family. But generally speaking, educated parents tend to have very small family. I also see parents at their 70s and 80s pick recycle to survive. Kid grow up, get married and say their goodbyes. It is a heartbreaking. One positive is Vietnamese culture do a lot more charity to help the poor than most. They donate food, cloths, money, and sometimes build homes for the lucky poor family. During COVID lockdown, some landlords give tenants free rents or 50% rent for 2-3 months. In US, government have to pass law to make landlords unable to convicts tenant. I have never heard landlord give free rents in US. As a landlords myself, I understand that side too. Landlords in US are individual person who have mortgage to pay. Landlords in Vietnam might be fully own their properties.

I came to Vietnam for 12 months 51 years ago. I have lived here full time for the past 20 years. I see kids like these all the time.
