Giving a Homeless Family a New Home for Christmas!

Check out PART II on getting Ann into her new apartment:

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.

"She lost her house to medical bills." That concept is very hard to grasp for someone who didn't grow up in America.

The smile on his little face . He deserved a Christmas like that. Amazing job man

[mjr]

"a new home " alil misleading but still an amazing story, well done to you and all those who donated

[emilywiebel]

The Christmas letter broke my heart, I’m so glad that helped them out.

"...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.

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!

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.

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! :)

Good thing there is still good people in the word 🙂

How beautiful is it that the number one thing he wants is Mom to be well, even if he got nothing else.
