Me: *takes a bullet*
Me: *wondering where John Quinones is*

[EmiliusReturns]

The man in the baseball cap who started crying broke my heart, you can tell he went through a lot when he was that age and this got to him. And that last blonde woman was an absolute angel. That’s one of the most generous gestures I’ve seen on this show.

[glori_td]

that last lady who gave her a 100 dollars and all she said was “you just pray for me and I’ll just pray for you.” that was so touching, I’m crying

[courtneyamarah]

Kindness is the language the blind can see and the deaf can hear- Mark Twain

[sazparker]

That mother and daughter duo at the start had me tearing up 😢 The way she wanted to do it in secret for the mother to feel special and bring a smile to her kids, that is a kind heart right there This whole episode was so wholesome ❤

[MzDott]

I know this is old, but I still get choked up when I watch it. I come back because I need to see the hood that is in this world. Naturally kind people. My kind of people. They didn’t expect nothing for doing what they could to help. This is proof that It doesn’t take much to love and care for each other.

[bob-manuel]

Everyone's gangsta until they see people being kind.

[itstatilol]

“they’re actors” damn john way to kill the mood🙃😭

[Madskillsuniversity]

That first mom was a REAL mother right there!!!! Love that! Thankfully, there are still some really good people out there in this world. God bless all of those who tried to help her.

[krisbradbury]

Cried like a baby watching this one. Made me feel so happy to see so many people willing to help out a struggling hungry family.

When the woman said "there's $100, go have a good day with your baby" I CRIED
