The world needs more people like this man. Bless his soul💖

We need more people like him in our schools. He figured out the problem & he found a solution to fix that problem. Laundry can be a big deal for kids of all ages. I am in an apartment complex & sometimes I don't have the money to wash my daughter's clothes so I have to do them by hand. It's a pain but she's going to school with clean clothes. I remember being in school and having a couple of kids in my class that wore dirty clothes to school and the humiliation that brought not to mention the bullying from others.
This is what all schools should be offering if not a washer and dryer then a way for them to get their clothes clean. It's something so simple that we all take for granted. Thank you for sharing this!!

Love this guy! Love the laundromat! This was a fairly simple solution to a very big problem. Principal listens, cares, acts. Voila! Problem solved! We can all make a small difference somewhere. 💕

Thank you Ellen for inviting people like him to your show for inspiring us to take a step towards positivity . Such a kindness is uncommon in this world but humanity still exists.

He is amazing and he really shows he cares. Which is what our future kids need. I graduated from a high school in Newark, NJ. it’s tough but when you have someone who cares, it makes a big difference. Good job ❤️❤️❤️

Inspiring. This reminds me of me, I call my nieces and nephews ''my babies''. Each time I do, their faces lights up with a bright smile.
