holy shit more people should do this with youtube money
this video brought me dangerously close to tears
it really warmed my heart when the guy said that he got a job..
it's nice to know that not all homeless people are lazy per se, but this guy was given an opportunity and he made the most of it and he ended up getting a job.
i can't say not all homeless people would've done that with $1,000. good for him, he deserves the house.
For anyone who hasn't seen the previous video:

I personally liked this a lot better, he just seemed so much more shocked at what he got.

Maybe because he went from living on the streets, living in the worst possible conditions to getting for what seems to be the biggest gift ever.
Now he's went from at least having a proper shelter, tv, food ect to his own place.
The lottery and the house might not be the same in regards of monetary value but I can say for sure that the lottery ment a whole lot more to him, and that's completely normal. It's all about the context.
This is an awesome video and great to see people helpin others in need. At the same time wouldn't have it been smarter to give him a house with less expensive things and just give him the extra moola?
I dunno, this makes me feel really sad for all the other homeless who didn't win the lottery.
So glad his life has been turned around. Is there any backstory as to how he ended up homeless in the first place? I'm just curious. Really happy to hear he nabbed himself a job, and now with a new house to boot, he can only further progress and make an impact on his life. Hope it all works out for him.
I remember this. It's really heart warming to see that he's gotten on his feet.

Not a lot of things can make me tear up, but this is one of them.
I betcha there is 'money' hanging around somewhere in the world that could do this for every homeless person. Problem is that right now it is being bottled up.
"it's a boy!!" ?
