What would you do if a hungry child asked for help?

We filmed children walking up to adults who were eating at a Farmer's Market and asking them for food. Every single adult offered to give or buy the child something to eat.

Our campaign aims to remind viewers that just because the child isn't standing directly in front of you it doesn't mean they're not out there and it doesn't mean they don't need your help.

The Asian guy is the real MVP !!! He sat with her even after giving her the food.

I can not believe the girl at 0.55 said "sweetheart, i'm sorry".
Fortunately, the man was there to give something.

I still remember years ago visiting Mexico a young man offered to clean my windshield. I told him it was clean and I didn't need it cleaned. He said he is just hungry and needed the money for food. I gave him money and told him he doesn't need to clean the window. He was very hungry because he RAN to the food stall nearby and got some food immediately!

Why didn't anyone ask them where their parents were?

[godisgoodallthetime]

Well. First. Feed the child. Second. Ask the child where's their mom and dad.

It would tear me apart if a kid came up to me asking for food... I´d instantly burst into tears. No child should ever have to be asking for food... anywhere in the world.

“Sweetheart I’m sorry” ?

I don’t want to hope that you fall in a helpless situation, but please rethink your action that day and learn from it.

1993. I remember a woman in France walking pass me and a little girl that I gave food to. That little girl looked like the real life poster for Les Miserables. The little girl was eyeing my sandwich and Coke so I gave it to her. Then the little girl ran away...The woman was shaking her head and replied, "Americans."
And I've never felt so proud to be one!

The lady with the pink shirt on just stood there not saying anything while this little girl is starving in front of her. I couldn't just stand there eating while someone in my face hungry.

"Sweetheart, I'm sorry " wtf.. She just needed food to eat. So heartless. I bet she does that with a lot of kids who are hungry and homeless.

Buying food for someone is another thing but to give someone which you're having is special ♥️

This happened to me about a year ago. Different scenario it was a poor kid smelled terrible dirty clothes. I was in big lots at the moment. I saw him take bread and peanut butter. I followed him around the store. Through the midst i was going to buy big bag of chips and those 2 liter soda. But instead i walked up to the kid and said do you have money and are you hungry. At first he stared at his feet for 5 min and said i'll put the stuff back. Then I stopped him again and told him the same question. He replied i have no money and yes im really hungry. I even heard his stomach growling. I had 20 dollars atm. I put back the junk food i was going to buy and offered to pay for his food and give him the rest of my money. I saw a smile on his face that was pricrless while he hugged me. Even though I had a horrible stench after it felt rewarding. Not only did I help someone I helped myself from my weight problem. I went from 294 pounds too 175 pounds now im going to become a junior in high school now i have a little more confidence

People should NEVER go hungry. Especially children.
I could never let a child starve.

This gives me tears.

When I was a child my "parents" left me with a woman who would put me out in the morning and not let me back into the apartment until evening, it was a blessing when the lady down stairs gave me a sandwich.

At one point in my childhood my family fell into poverty and we often didn’t have anything to eat, like, it was normal for my dad to come home and say “we won’t have money for food for the next week”. Me, my sister, and my two brothers often had to rely on charity food, and seeing this video really reminded me of that.

I would first ask where is her parent or guardian. Then if they are indeed in need of food I'd be glad to try and get something for them

[altonfinklea]

I could never turn down a child who is hungry

[nitinkumar]

And they tell Indians are poor. So sad.
We may be poor but we have hearts bigger than yours.

[jennylharrellcatron]

We are all children. That's the problem. We get bigger, we get taller, but we're still someone's child. Tears flowing.
