Crying tears of joy and happiness! And to send a parent to college that is spot on!!! Thank you to both organizations for believing in these high school students and families
I am so happy to see that this man is doing this for these students. Education is so important and at the low-income school that i went too, my teachers never talked to me about higher education. They gave me a mock job application and that was as much as they did to prepare me for my future. I was lucky to have parents that made high income and that is the ONLY reason I had the chance to go to college. My high GPA didn't get me more than 1k per year, which was not enough to put myself through college without tens of thousands of dollars in debt. My school did not offer AP classes, sports, or extracurriculars. I would have done all of those if I could. A year after a graduated high school I ran into the counselor from that school and she asked whether I went to college or not. I told her that I had just completed my first year and she told me "Good for you. I think you are probably the only student that I have expected to go to college. Others say that they will but they never do."
Other countries do it with the Socialist structure that the U.S. demonises. In other countries education and healthcare is accessible to all because of that socialist structure, but there is still democratic freedom and a decent degree of capitalism. The US is too extreme in its Capitalism.
It's the same with 'Healthcare' & decent paying jobs! People don't get it, even WITH Health Insurance (or car insurance for that matter!) you have to pay your deductibles and copays. If you can barely 'Pay attention' what happens is you put off getting your needs met. Same with College, people think Minorities have money coming out of the 'Wauzoo'! No we do not.
I live and work in Laos and run a school called Good People Laos. I have long held that education is the key to solving intergenerational poverty. A meaningful education does more than just uplift the student - it literally feeds the community. Great work. What a wonderful project. Congratulations!
@@CAZruns Yes it does. Signed 58 year old man that grew up homeless at times as a kids and went to trade school and now lives an upper middle class life, and put my wife through nursing school. So yes it does.

Sobbed watching this story...HARD! Thank you Lord for FINALLY opening eyes to help make things right in this world. If only one person, one story, one city at a time. God Bless Hope Chicago, and all those with bright futures ahead of them.
Its not FREE. There is no tuition associated with attending - but someone has to pay for it: taxes (the system). Plus, its not for everyone. To attend a University in Germany you have to meet certain requirements - not everyone can, will, wants to. Its not exactly how you are saying it. Universities in Germany are funded by the system (tax payers) and open to anybody meeting the admission requirements.
@@oldschoolgonzo look paying what 500 euros or something a semester vs 13,000+ US dollars is remarkably different. Yes taxes are higher to offset for it but also many other beneficial things like better mass transit, unemployment insurance, guaranteeing healthcare as a human right etc. So I don’t think you are stating the whole scenario either. But this is YT and many nuances are lost here. Habe a great day
@@oldschoolgonzo our government SHOULD fund education. Its beneficial in every aspect including building our country. The U.S. has the money to invest, it just benefits them NOT to.
It's been a really long time since I cried at a TH-cam video, but I cried at this one. If I get rich one day, I'd love to do the same thing. THIS is how you truly show that you care about people in your community.
This is so touching! And I believe a lot of these kids will pay it forward and it will be less prisons needed! To whom much is given, much is required, is what this wonderful millionaire is doing. God bless him! And that one young man is so uplifting in spite of his circumstances.
Mr Kadens, the first time I heard about Hope Chicago I cried. I watched the video I cried again. You are not only giving the gift of education to our kids but including 1 parent so they thrive and get out of this cycle. The first person I thought of that might support this movement is Shaq. He has a big heart. And I believe he is from Louisiana. The school system there and crime/poverty they have down there is just awful! Chance is not a billionaire but he does give back to his hometown, maybe he could do some scholarships on the west side? And I know there is a slim chance you might read this but if you do, I want to say bless. This (education) along with other things would be great to get our city back and help our kids. And 1 more thing. Would you run for mayor? Chicago needs someone who cares, and it is very evident in your speech you do! Bless you , you are a hero to many people!
This is awesome!!!!!!!!😱😲. One man's inspiration that is nothing but a miracle for so many others. I am moved to tears as a parent of a High School junior with no funds to send my son to college. I can only hope for a miracle like this...
This is absolutely amazing. We need to see more good things like this. We need more people like Kadens and Koenig; less people like the greedy power hungry of the 1%. It takes so little to help so many, right some wrongs. Basic necessities shouldn't be so hard to come by and I do consider education a necessity. I hope that one day things like this will happen to all youths, regardless of race, color, orientation, born into poor homes will have what they need to make it in this world. I hope that opportunities (not charities) such as this catch on with others in the 1% and they step up and make the world a better place. ✌🏻💙🇺🇸
hopefully they will follow through and get a degree. Maybe 60 min could do a a follow up in 4 tears and see which ones did the work and completed a degree...I hope they get one:)
Our country needs more people like these kids! Their Values and ambitions are like 50 years ago when I was in high school! Fantastic for the future of our country!
God bless this man and his family! Couldn’t keep the tears back after the first awards the announced; the caregivers also going to college free as well just unleashed avalanche! May this holistic humanitarian approach spread to other communities as well. God speaks, ‘Give and it will be given’ and you will reap what you sow!🙏❤️🤗 Beautiful heart of this man and other sponsors changing hearts and minds of thousands for future generations.
"To whom much is given, much is required." Blessings to Hope Chicago, the students, parents, and community. You will thrive and succeed in all areas of your life. May God cover you, every step of the way.
From 5 to 15, we're teaching kids how to join the workforce. Next life goal is to double up on full-time jobs at 16. Next goal is to marry someone similar, have first baby, and buy a house in cash by 22. Next goal is to teach kids and grandkids how to replicate this model. Everything else is a lower priority. A distraction...
This is how we make the world a better place for everyone-by lifting up those members of OUR TEAM (the sentient beings of the world) who only need a helping hand to get going. Bravo!!! You all deserve this. 😄
This is an awesome story May God truly bless that man for his generosity, his heart towards the less fortunate. He think he blessed now whew... because of the seed that he just sowed into those families the harvest is going to be beyond his wildest imagination! The other young man blessed my soul, he has unwavering strong faith. Only people that live in these type of environments understand new grace and mercy that is granted each and every morning. May God bless them and everyone watching abundantly!
Amen 🙏🏾 in Jesus, precious and holy name! His test is now his testimony. Yes, indeed!!! May God truly bless than man for his generosity. I pray he has a relationship with Jesus Christ and has accepted him as his Lord and Savior.
I watched this on Sunday night, and I was in tears! This is what every lottery winner, multi millionaire/billionaire, should be trying to do! So much more admirable then buying crap! If I had this kind of money, I would set out to make changes for a better world! Love this 🙌💞
Oh, so someone else should have to pay a deadbeat family's college tuition? Why? Black fathers working and staying in the household makes 1000 times more of a difference.
I live in the Chicago suburbs. I also work in education with low income students. The challenges they have. You have to be an amazing teacher and support staff to engage with these students and meet them at their levels. I am so proud that I work with amazing staff and an even more amazing school.

Wow! I don't want a person who has to feel guilty for having. I do appreciate how Pete recognizes he had opportunity others haven't had, saw a need in a community, and gave the gift of education. I am so thankful to Pete. I needed to hear a story of generosity and caring. Education allows individuals to increase their earnings, but it also creates people who are able back to their communities. It makes sense to invest tax dollars in education and lower the cost of higher education so it's affordable.
Chicago students are forced to endure though so much bs.... Many desperately want to get out but can't.. So many people are surrounded by nothing but factories ---- yet lacking much employment. People outside of Chicago have no clue what the younger generation goes through. It's BEYOND rough.... It's constant "suppression", to put it lightly. But ---- this brought so much joy & happy tears 💖 And kudos to that gentleman... helping those in need. He has absolutely no idea how great of an influence he became. This is beyond awesome! Chicago needs more stories like this ❤ #LoveChi ❤
The difference between investing and wasting money. More people will be lifted out of poverty by capitalism than by social programs as seen in NYC for the past 50 years. You have to make a choice in life. The freedom to choose.
Not to talk about politics but if donald trump was president he could afford to use Elon musk money to put 10 times more people to college then this guy on the video did
Throughout the years, Elon has given to over 160 charities to the tune of more than 54 million. He just donated roughly 5.7 billion worth of Tesla shares to charity. Instead of pre-judging people and assuming the worse, maybe you should do some research before disparging people. He doesn't have to give anything, but he does. What do you give?
I am crying right now. So many moms would do it but can't afford it. Me who wants to go back to nursing..I am.so happy for the women who have less then me because I have a lot. Lift up the moms and the dads that want to and it lifts up a community
This has just BLESSED my living soul!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Thank you all for blessing our next generation, along with their parents, grandparents, and guardians for the sacrifice that they’ve made.
“the idea of parents & students going back to school together, I think that can be powerful & motivating in ways we haven’t even thought about” God Bless you all for your time, & kindness. PRAISE YOU FOREVER!!!
We are paying for it through taxes. Do you people think this is free. It is not. These mothers had a choice to not have kids. Now we are paying for theire choices. Get real people. Illigslw immigration. U r paying. People in welfare. U r paying. Wiomen who continue to have many baby daddies we are paying. This should not be on our backs as tax payers. But it is
Wow, what a story and a great monumental gesture to see such an example. Wish much success to the students, the staff, and donors. Another example of the American experiment.
Way better than Scott’s Tots… all jokes aside, really happy for these students. Love this story, wishing all the college grads of the future nothing short of the very best. 🙏🏻
This is unbelievable and an amazing effort. Bravo 👏🏾 this is the kind of story you hardly hear these days with all the division and divisiveness this is a breath of fresh air.
This brought unexpected tears of joy to my eyes. So many families, businesses, organizations, children that have not even been born will benefit from the generosity of this man. The hard work and dedication that these children already have coupled with this kind of blessing will make actually studying and learning college coursework that much easier. Many people go through so much that most do not even think of or could even imagine. I am overjoyed.

THIS is the attitude in which we ALL should embrace our children. What a true hero. We all have something to share...not just monetarily!!! Acts of love, kindness and service and prayer...endless ways...
I thought things would be so different in 2022. Why is there regression instead of progression? It’s so sad. But what a great guy to come through in a big way!
The world will always be cruel, evil and corrupt. It will never change, it will only get worse as the rich get richer and are the monopoly. That's the reality we live in and the sooner kids learn this, the better. Life is not fair, you need to fight for what you want in life.
Bless this man who has enabled the future generations to rise above their circumstances and better their lives and hopefully their legacies in the future. Chicago youths are so blessed by this man’s generosity
That young man has taught me so much about hard work & faith. His family should be so proud. The single mom that went from homeless to successfully raising 5 children & being able to go to school to expand her knowledge for her own business, you are awesome. I so love stories like this hearing of this wonderful man who has so much but who wants to share his wealth to make life better for others to truly make America great. Thank you so much sir. Much love & many more blessings to all of you.
Astonishingly as third world countries strive to provide universal healthcare and education the world's wealthiest country tries to find reasons to deny those same benefits to all.
Mr. Kaden you have me crying after working a 12 hrs shift overnight. Thank you sooooooooooo very much. May God continue to Bless you and your family. 60 minutes thank for airing the news. Also the gentle man that gave 10 million thank you. Finally, someone like Mr. kaden to stop some of the poverty in Chicago. Loveeeeeeeeeeee this story. God Bless all of you.
It will be important that in addition to this generous gift, these kids will need support. The school should make every effort to set up a network so that the kids can more successfully navigate the transition to college, through college and beyond.
CONGRATULATIONS to the donor. And the students and guardians. This is the story that people around the world have been hoping for and it finally materialized. The young men that were featured speaking out about their experience in the Chicago Hope Johnson school shows GREAT promise. May they continue to strive and persevere. Quoting from one of the young men featured: "Grace and Mercy is renewed daily." Keep on trying and one day you're going to shout praise to Your Maker that you never gave up. Blessings to the whole school, team and especially the donor. Thank you for doing something to help Chicago's poor communities.🌞❤
This man’s ripple effect in life will be huge. None of us will see it in its entirely but I know it will expand generations.
It would also help if leaders would start getting people out of Chicago!! The place is dead and never coming back ever in the hood areas.

few americans of ANY race can afford college! i'm white. i was illegally suckered into the student loan-scam program 25 years ago. i wasn't allowed to finish the semester. i got NO GRADES and received NO BENEFIT from this college yet, through an illegal process called "treasury offset," the dept. of ed has stolen nearly $15,000 from my disability to pay a $3500 loan I DON'T OWE! AND THEY'RE NOT STOPPING! this $3500 loan i didn't ask for has become a PERPETUAL DEBT i'll be paying for the rest of my LIFE! and no cares!
i'm disabled and living in poverty for over 25 years! I'VE SCREAMED MY BLOODY HEAD OFF ABOUT THIS CORRUPTION - to politicians and THE NEWS MEDIA - not any of them give a DAMN! why not do a story on this scam. i'm sure i'm not the only victim!
Sobbed watching this story...HARD! Thank you Lord for FINALLY opening eyes to help make things right in this world. If only one person, one story, one city at a time. God Bless Hope Chicago, and all those with bright futures ahead of them.
👍👏👏👏👏👏🙏💕
I know, I sobbed too!!! Such an unbelievably great story!!! There is hope!!!
Yes!
@Steve Gooden Quite profound! 💞
Thank God for this man and his vision! What a gift!
This is a great story. But shows that the US needs to systematically fix this. Here in Germany university is free for everyone.
Its not FREE. There is no tuition associated with attending - but someone has to pay for it: taxes (the system). Plus, its not for everyone. To attend a University in Germany you have to meet certain requirements - not everyone can, will, wants to. Its not exactly how you are saying it. Universities in Germany are funded by the system (tax payers) and open to anybody meeting the admission requirements.
@@oldschoolgonzo look paying what 500 euros or something a semester vs 13,000+ US dollars is remarkably different. Yes taxes are higher to offset for it but also many other beneficial things like better mass transit, unemployment insurance, guaranteeing healthcare as a human right etc. So I don’t think you are stating the whole scenario either. But this is YT and many nuances are lost here. Habe a great day
...and has been forever!
@@oldschoolgonzo our government SHOULD fund education. Its beneficial in every aspect including building our country. The U.S. has the money to invest, it just benefits them NOT to.
@@oldschoolgonzo and how are you going to tell him how the college system is ran is their country? So American of you...
This video put a smile on my face, education really is the way. I’m so so happy for those kids
It's been a really long time since I cried at a TH-cam video, but I cried at this one. If I get rich one day, I'd love to do the same thing. THIS is how you truly show that you care about people in your community.
This is so touching! And I believe a lot of these kids will pay it forward and it will be less prisons needed! To whom much is given, much is required, is what this wonderful millionaire is doing. God bless him! And that one young man is so uplifting in spite of his circumstances.
Mr Kadens, the first time I heard about Hope Chicago I cried. I watched the video I cried again. You are not only giving the gift of education to our kids but including 1 parent so they thrive and get out of this cycle. The first person I thought of that might support this movement is Shaq. He has a big heart. And I believe he is from Louisiana. The school system there and crime/poverty they have down there is just awful! Chance is not a billionaire but he does give back to his hometown, maybe he could do some scholarships on the west side? And I know there is a slim chance you might read this but if you do, I want to say bless. This (education) along with other things would be great to get our city back and help our kids. And 1 more thing. Would you run for mayor? Chicago needs someone who cares, and it is very evident in your speech you do! Bless you , you are a hero to many people!
His generosity brought me to tears!! May God continue to bless him, his staff and his finance!!!
This is awesome!!!!!!!!😱😲. One man's inspiration that is nothing but a miracle for so many others. I am moved to tears as a parent of a High School junior with no funds to send my son to college. I can only hope for a miracle like this...
His announcement gave me goosebumps. Bless this man and those amazing students and parents.
Think of all the families that will be positively impacted for centuries to come because someone believed in someone.
I would like a follow up in 10 and 20 years. All these children are bright and with a fantastic future in front of them.
I’m one of the kids at this school, it was a life changing moment and im going to use this opportunity to it’s fullest
This had me in tears!!!!! Tears of joy!!!!!🥲 God keep blessing that nice man. 🙏
This is absolutely amazing. We need to see more good things like this. We need more people like Kadens and Koenig; less people like the greedy power hungry of the 1%. It takes so little to help so many, right some wrongs. Basic necessities shouldn't be so hard to come by and I do consider education a necessity. I hope that one day things like this will happen to all youths, regardless of race, color, orientation, born into poor homes will have what they need to make it in this world. I hope that opportunities (not charities) such as this catch on with others in the 1% and they step up and make the world a better place. ✌🏻💙🇺🇸
This man here get is it and is a true American.
I'M FLOORED RIGHT NOW...THIS HAS FEELED MY HEART WITH SOOOO MUCH JOY. NEVER GIVE UP
It feels so good to see this people receive an answer to their prayers.
hopefully they will follow through and get a degree. Maybe 60 min could do a a follow up in 4 tears and see which ones did the work and completed a degree...I hope they get one:)
This brought tears to my eyes. These kids and family deserve all of this and more. Chicago Hope! Johnson College Prep. What a gift you are.
Hope 60 min will do a follow up in 4 years and see who actually went, did the work and got a degree
Our country needs more people like these kids! Their Values and ambitions are like 50 years ago when I was in high school! Fantastic for the future of our country!
These are the stories that should go viral 💜
God bless this man and his family! Couldn’t keep the tears back after the first awards the announced; the caregivers also going to college free as well just unleashed avalanche! May this holistic humanitarian approach spread to other communities as well. God speaks, ‘Give and it will be given’ and you will reap what you sow!🙏❤️🤗
Beautiful heart of this man and other sponsors changing hearts and minds of thousands for future generations.
👍👏👏👏🙏💕
This man is a do-gooder and a Socialist and I love him for it; The purposeof a human life is to
help uplift, not teardown all those around us.
true socialism has never helped one single person...might wanna look up how all socialist countries have turned out
@@lilpoohbear653 They are not socialist, they are dictatorships
This is so beautiful in every level. I hope this causes a domino effect that will help more communities in our nation.
I am so happy to see somebody that gets it and willing to do the work and take action. ❤
Poverty begets violence.
I can’t began to talk about how amazing this is for kids and parents
"To whom much is given, much is required." Blessings to Hope Chicago, the students, parents, and community. You will thrive and succeed in all areas of your life. May God cover you, every step of the way.
Amen🙏
I'm here at the firehouse in tears! I love seeing this. I wish us as a people would come together like this. Pray for Texas and Buffalo 🤲🏿
From 5 to 15, we're teaching kids how to join the workforce.
Next life goal is to double up on full-time jobs at 16.
Next goal is to marry someone similar, have first baby, and buy a house in cash by 22.
Next goal is to teach kids and grandkids how to replicate this model.
Everything else is a lower priority. A distraction...
Absolutely beautiful ❤️ I pray for more people like him.
I hope we get an update on these teens in a few years and their education endeavors
This is truly great news. What a great news story! Thanks to those who seek to find another way, a better way!
@Pedro Limon La tuya.
This is how we make the world a better place for everyone-by lifting up those members of OUR TEAM (the sentient beings of the world) who only need a helping hand to get going. Bravo!!! You all deserve this. 😄
#Absolutely ❤️☘️🌈😊
I agree. The devil is 😡! He wants lack for people. Let's pray that God's will be done!
@Giovanni Garcia why mock someone's faith? Didn't the student in this have such faith that he believes in?
@Giovanni Garcia you didn't get my point nor do you care but be blessed
@Giovanni Garcia oh shush
This is an awesome story May God truly bless that man for his generosity, his heart towards the less fortunate. He think he blessed now whew... because of the seed that he just sowed into those families the harvest is going to be beyond his wildest imagination! The other young man blessed my soul, he has unwavering strong faith. Only people that live in these type of environments understand new grace and mercy that is granted each and every morning. May God bless them and everyone watching abundantly!
Amen 🙏🏾 in Jesus, precious and holy name! His test is now his testimony. Yes, indeed!!! May God truly bless than man for his generosity. I pray he has a relationship with Jesus Christ and has accepted him as his Lord and Savior.
Amen and Thank you ( TO GOD BE THE GLORY)🙏
I watched this on Sunday night, and I was in tears! This is what every lottery winner, multi millionaire/billionaire, should be trying to do! So much more admirable then buying crap! If I had this kind of money, I would set out to make changes for a better world! Love this 🙌💞
Oh, so someone else should have to pay a deadbeat family's college tuition? Why? Black fathers working and staying in the household makes 1000 times more of a difference.
I live in the Chicago suburbs. I also work in education with low income students. The challenges they have. You have to be an amazing teacher and support staff to engage with these students and meet them at their levels. I am so proud that I work with amazing staff and an even more amazing school. Congratulations to all!!
*MAY GOD BLESS THESE MEN AND THESE PEOPLE WITH THEM IN MAKING A HUGE CHANGE THESE PEOPLE ARE AWESOME 😎👍*
If you students read these comments, I believe in you all! Don't give up! You got this! ❤️

Outstanding!
May the giveers and the receivers of this good course be blessed 🙏🏼 🥰
Wow! I don't want a person who has to feel guilty for having. I do appreciate how Pete recognizes he had opportunity others haven't had, saw a need in a community, and gave the gift of education. I am so thankful to Pete. I needed to hear a story of generosity and caring. Education allows individuals to increase their earnings, but it also creates people who are able back to their communities. It makes sense to invest tax dollars in education and lower the cost of higher education so it's affordable.
This is amazing! Instead of flying to the moon, Pete is investing in the future of families. Blessings to his life!!
This gave me chills! Thank you for sharing! 🙌🏽
Chicago students are forced to endure though so much bs....
Many desperately want to get out but can't..
So many people are surrounded by nothing but factories ---- yet lacking much employment.
People outside of Chicago have no clue what the younger generation goes through.
It's BEYOND rough....
It's constant "suppression", to put it lightly.
But ---- this brought so much joy & happy tears 💖
And kudos to that gentleman... helping those in need. He has absolutely no idea how great of an influence he became.
This is beyond awesome! Chicago needs more stories like this ❤
#LoveChi ❤
Tremendous scholarship program by Mr. Cadence!! Hope Chicago sending students and parents to college is HUGE! GOD bless them all! ❤️
IMAGINE what the BILLIONS Elon Musk is putting toward (possibly) buying Twitter and instead could actually help others and change their lives.
The difference between investing and wasting money. More people will be lifted out of poverty by capitalism than by social programs as seen in NYC for the past 50 years. You have to make a choice in life. The freedom to choose.
It's not his job to pay for everyone else's problems. Life isn't fair, deal with it.
@@lukeslayer Hopefully someday someone finds it in themselves to help life you.
Not to talk about politics but if donald trump was president he could afford to use Elon musk money to put 10 times more people to college then this guy on the video did
Throughout the years, Elon has given to over 160 charities to the tune of more than 54 million. He just donated roughly 5.7 billion worth of Tesla shares to charity. Instead of pre-judging people and assuming the worse, maybe you should do some research before disparging people. He doesn't have to give anything, but he does. What do you give?
We need more of Pete aka Chicago Hope. Thank you,Pete, for this wonderful scholarship opportunity and including the parent as well! ❤️❤️
I am crying right now. So many moms would do it but can't afford it.
Me who wants to go back to nursing..I am.so happy for the women who have less then me because I have a lot.
Lift up the moms and the dads that want to and it lifts up a community
I cried because I finally heard empathy, compassion,, kindness & love
I hope they follow through a get a degree!! That will be great! Maybe 50 min can do a follow up in a few years and do a piece on their graduations :)
@@lilpoohbear653 Me too !!!! Me too!!!!!
I LOVE THIS!!!!!! Such an amazing program, offer, and plan for each family. Love it!
All it takes is 1 man to make 1 act that can change the world. Bless all in this story and all those blessed enough to have viewed it.
Finally something good is happening for all those students.
keep up the good work and parents take this gift an run back to school you deserve it
This has just BLESSED my living soul!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Thank you all for blessing our next generation, along with their parents, grandparents, and guardians for the sacrifice that they’ve made.
That's a beautiful man.He sees and understands.
“the idea of parents & students going back to school together, I think that can be powerful & motivating in ways we haven’t even thought about” God Bless you all for your time, & kindness. PRAISE YOU FOREVER!!!
We are paying for it through taxes. Do you people think this is free. It is not. These mothers had a choice to not have kids. Now we are paying for theire choices. Get real people. Illigslw immigration. U r paying. People in welfare. U r paying. Wiomen who continue to have many baby daddies we are paying. This should not be on our backs as tax payers. But it is
Such an amazing organization and amazing students! We need more of this! 👏🏼👏🏼
I’m crying and smiling at the same time!!! Let’s get this generational wealth for the less fortunate going!!!!!
Wow...amazing young people...thank you so much, Mr. Cadence(sp?)
Wow, what a story and a great monumental gesture to see such an example. Wish much success to the students, the staff, and donors. Another example of the American experiment.
Way better than Scott’s Tots… all jokes aside, really happy for these students. Love this story, wishing all the college grads of the future nothing short of the very best. 🙏🏻
That's amazing! Congratulations to them all! I wish them all great success 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥
This is unbelievable and an amazing effort. Bravo 👏🏾 this is the kind of story you hardly hear these days with all the division and divisiveness this is a breath of fresh air.
If mega corporations paid taxes that they should the whole country could have free in-state tuition
This brought unexpected tears of joy to my eyes. So many families, businesses, organizations, children that have not even been born will benefit from the generosity of this man. The hard work and dedication that these children already have coupled with this kind of blessing will make actually studying and learning college coursework that much easier. Many people go through so much that most do not even think of or could even imagine. I am overjoyed.

@@cjmacq-vg8um hello there. I totally agree with you. College cost are unaffordable for most Americans.
If every billionaire gave just 1/2 million to 1 million . And then shared that across the struggling .
This is a wonderful story. Hope Chicago needs to be recognized for this!
THIS is the attitude in which we ALL should embrace our children. What a true hero. We all have something to share...not just monetarily!!! Acts of love, kindness and service and prayer...endless ways...
This type of program needs to invest around the nation.
"Disrupting multigenerational poverty" ❤️📚🎓
This is what our community need. Love to see positive stories like this that actually changes lives.
*HOPE CHICAGO*
MADDDDDDD LOVE & RESPECT 💯❤
This is amazing.
What a blessing. This brought me to tears. I hope 60 min does a follow up on this
I thought things would be so different in 2022. Why is there regression instead of progression? It’s so sad. But what a great guy to come through in a big way!
The world will always be cruel, evil and corrupt. It will never change, it will only get worse as the rich get richer and are the monopoly. That's the reality we live in and the sooner kids learn this, the better. Life is not fair, you need to fight for what you want in life.
@@lukeslayer Fatalism is philosophy not a reality.
@@afdchocolatemilk2107 Well some peoples reality is a complete fantasy.
All of these wonderful souls and everyone in the comments have been on my mind. This is the world I want to live in. Thank you
Amazing "Hope Chicago" can be an example for all of us in South Africa. Awsome work Pete Cadance!!! Keep going !!
South Africa just needs to take its education seriously. Proper structure and trade skills need to be implemented as soon as 8th grade.
Thank you Hope Chicago!
"I just think that, fundamentally, there's a misunderstanding in this country that college is accessible for everybody, when in fact, it is not."
Bless this man who has enabled the future generations to rise above their circumstances and better their lives and hopefully their legacies in the future. Chicago youths are so blessed by this man’s generosity
That young man has taught me so much about hard work & faith. His family should be so proud. The single mom that went from homeless to successfully raising 5 children & being able to go to school to expand her knowledge for her own business, you are awesome. I so love stories like this hearing of this wonderful man who has so much but who wants to share his wealth to make life better for others to truly make America great. Thank you so much sir. Much love & many more blessings to all of you.
Brought me to tears 🥲🥹🥰
Be different, we only live ones and life is to short to think with hate. We are what we choose
Astonishingly as third world countries strive to provide universal healthcare and education the world's wealthiest country tries to find reasons to deny those same benefits to all.
Deny?
What? They just said they will be sending them to college for free.
@@vitus6302 They? The video I watched was about 1/one man who showed his compassion with financial assistance. Who is "they"?
@@AKing69 the one man and probably his wife.
@@vitus6302 "Probably"? You weren't referring to a wife. The video never mentioned a wife. Just be man/woman and admit you misspoke/erred.
Thank you for caring about the children. My heart is overjoyed 🥹🥹🥹
That. That is how to behave when you're rich
Mr. Kaden you have me crying after working a 12 hrs shift overnight. Thank you sooooooooooo very much. May God continue to Bless you and your family. 60 minutes thank for airing the news. Also the gentle man that gave 10 million thank you. Finally, someone like Mr. kaden to stop some of the poverty in Chicago. Loveeeeeeeeeeee this story. God Bless all of you.
WOW! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SOUL!!! 👌🥳🙏💞 Lots of beautiful souls too! 👍🤣
I just love these kids. All they need is a chance just a chance. May he blessed evermore.
So speechless. What an awesome gift. Hoping each student will complete college and invest back into their community.
It will be important that in addition to this generous gift, these kids will need support. The school should make every effort to set up a network so that the kids can more successfully navigate the transition to college, through college and beyond.
Blessings, Blessings and more Blessings multiplied to you, your staff and students!❤🙏🙏❤
'THIS IS THEIR BETTER DAY'..We need more Pete's in the world. GOD BLESS HIM! THIS IS AMAZING! SO AWESOME!!
CONGRATULATIONS to the donor. And the students and guardians. This is the story that people around the world have been hoping for and it finally materialized. The young men that were featured speaking out about their experience in the Chicago Hope Johnson school shows GREAT promise. May they continue to strive and persevere. Quoting from one of the young men featured: "Grace and Mercy is renewed daily." Keep on trying and one day you're going to shout praise to Your Maker that you never gave up. Blessings to the whole school, team and especially the donor. Thank you for doing something to help Chicago's poor communities.🌞❤
