Thumbs up for all the fruteros feeding the city streets

Really went full circle with this one. Love to see it ❤

when he teared up I cried 😢 I am ao happy and glad that he has made a new life for himself. Bless

I'm really loving these stories man. Gives me hope for humanity. So much hatred all around the world. It feels good to see people spreading hope and kindness.

i am so sorry for your losses. and the loss of your childhood. i'm glad that you found light. you deserve it. much love. <3 this is really awesome and inspirational.

Sean thank you so much for highlighting Jorge’s story. My team and I have had the honor of serving the community alongside him and Project Coffee Cup and he is as solid as they come. Hope this and all the other stories influence everyone to be active in the community, it’s so rewarding

I’m a 38yr old disabled Army OIF Vet. I started cooking in restaurants when I got out because I actually truly enjoyed it. I also give allot to the homeless yearly when it comes to food and clothing. I even gave away my favorite Cleveland Indians World Series hoodie to a sad homeless man lying on a bus stop bench in Cleveland at 5 in the morning while I went to work. (Which I don’t regret) It was snowing and so cold. Point being I love what this man does and if I had the money to do what he does I would do it in a heartbeat. I’m so happy someone like him found a way to make all of this happen. He’s truly a hero and an inspiration to so many.

Another inspiring story that gives me hope for our broken world. I am so grateful for this series.

Man I’m so sorry about loosing your brother, I could feel the pain in your voice deeply. You seem like a real genuine and all around great guy. One of the best people I’ve seen on this series.

As someone who got alot of help from my community as a young person I truly believe that as I grow older I want to give back to the youth. I am 24yo and I do alot in my community. We need people like him that have seen the reality of life and how hard it can get so people in that situation can see there is hope to change!

What a terrific redemption story. Sadly, there will always be people who see you as a criminal, but the only thing that matters is what you do for others moving forward❤

I love these so much! These are honestly the videos we could all use more of! So inspiring.

Thank you for showcasing an LA native & all the good he is doing. His story definitely moved me & hope to visit his stand one day!

Blessings Jorge! May your newfound Venture bring you blessings upon blessings from one to the next. What a great redemption story!

I am truly looking forward to these episodes as they come out, and this is my favourite segment this channel does. These stories are just about the only thing that redeem my faith in humanity, massive massive support to this man. You CAN make a diffe, you CAN turn your life around, after hitting the bottom. So, so nice to see 👏🏻

What an awesome and moving story! - Thank you so much for sharing! - Cheers!

These episodes are amazing! Thank you guys for bringing these stories to us!
