Helping A Homeless 20 Year Old And His Mom
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มี.ค. 2015
- Kieran and his mother have been homeless for the past 6 months. They have been living on the streets of L.A. He is 20 years old, needs to finish high school and has the dream of becoming a game developer. I have seen him around my area for quite some time now and decided that it was time to help. Little did we know that helping him would teach us a valuable life lesson, one that is easily overlooked in the world we live in.
“Just be thankful, be thankful. I am thankful for a sandwich… honestly I found some donuts, got some donuts, a big bag of donuts… I said… I got that to, I am happy about that, thank you.” - Kieran
Our goal is to get Kieran and his mother of the streets for good. We have set up a gofundme where 100% of everything donated will go towards that. We hope to get them an apartment & find them jobs and get you involved.
Lets come together in a time where our world is growing apart and do the right thing. It’s time we inspire change.

Special thanks to
Parker Reininga for filming & Louis Pulci for lending an extra hand.

this is beautiful :)
I was born June, 1995. This guy is my age... Fuck, that's a sobering thought. I couldn't imagine being homeless at 20-21 years of age. I really hope he's doing well now.
I am 14 and next summer my friend from Italy and I are doing something similar to this. thank you
That's awesome!! I would love to hear about it 👍🏻! It's crazy how much a difference we can make if we just learn to give more than we get.
Thank you for responding. It really shows you care. Please subscribe, video will be released next summer. Around June.
+Mark Reininga great job
Any plans to upload your journey on your channel as well or are you still able to do this ? Would be this summer right?
Dr. Bass Base didn't do it?
I see All these videos of people saying stop recording every time you're helping someone you should do it in private. but I say thanks for recording and keep doing it because it has inspired a lot of people to do the same. It actually has inspired me to. So without recording these things It probably wouldnt Inspire so many people. keep up the good work
Those people feel like people record this stuff to get views or fame.Also you shouldn't really need these videos to inspire you to help those in need you should just do it cause it's the right thing to do.
+Christian Mendoza a majority of the people who make these use the money earned from it to help even more homeless people back on their feet.
+Christian Mendoza plus posting the videos will encourage others to do good. I've seen thousands of comments saying how one of these videos made someone and their parents make food for the homeless or give them a hotel, or cash, clothes and ect. It's not just for fame.
I wish I could help all the homeless people.
Youreraisingmyphoenix Haha how do you know what they do with the money they earned. Unless you live with the person you will never know who they really are and what they really do and most of all their intentions.
I would love to do this kind of stuff when I grow up. But unfortunately I'm only 13 years old right now and my family isn't very rich. God bless all the people who are helping.
Don't feel bad at all. I like to say that sometimes when you can't give things, you and your family can give kind words, prayers and love! At the end of the day people want to feel important, seen and loved. We have all been given something and can all given something...no matter if it's great or small. Love is love. Glad you were touched by this amazing story....I think most of us are :-). God Bless you and your family!
Don`t despair, Alina, and don`t let coming from a less rich family make you feel a lesser person. You sound like your parents are doing a good job of rearing you.
You don`t have to be rich to give either. If you have spare time, there are Lots of charitable organizations that need voluntary labour to function, and greatly value its contribution. Simply spreading the word helps enormously too.
Alina Zakharova God save and bless you, lots of people who are rich now started out poor. With God all things are possible. JESUS Christ is the one true living God. Give your life to him JESUS saves. JESUS died on the cross for all men, he came that we might have life and life more abundantly. JESUS loves you and save and keep and prosper you and your family in JESUS name.
Google or Bible Acts 2:38-Bible verse. Jeremiah 29:11 Bible verse. Isaiah 55 Bible verse.
You don't have to be An Adult or Rich to show kindness , just have to be willing.
Go volunteer at ur local homeless shelter sit down and talk to these human beings and that's probably one of the greatest gifts u can give a person letting them know that they matter don't loose ur kind heart ur very sweet for the thought
"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothed yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience."
- Colossians 3:12
Wow! Thank you guys for 50,000 + Views. I hope you guys feel inspired and get out there and give back on your own : ). Together we need to make a difference in our communities especially with everything that's been going on in the world. Share a smile, stay positive and give fruitfully. - Mark Reininga
Did he find a job??
Mark Reininga it's so nice that you actually go back to your videos and answer the questions that we ask. You are a great person. God bless you.
Is there a follow up to this story? Did he get a job? Do they have a place to stay now?

So seeing guys like you do it, that is just heart releaving.
Thank you! You can always spread positivity to others and it's free just say hi, give a compliment and open the door for strangers and you are on your way!
Yeah man, that's a really good tip bro. :) Problem is, I live in a town with less than 1,000 people in it. ;/ There is a city called Aarhus, idk if you've ever heard about it - but they have homeless. I'll might just go there. :)
Are you poor
This was off the chain!!! Humanity, has gotten loose! Love has hopped the fence, for another human being!!!! I LOVE THIS.
Mark your a blessing in your own way. God bless you my friend.
nice man for helping him and his mom
Thank you!
wow the ten people who disliked this video has no heart
Really awesome:) He truly seemed like a good kid and the best way to help him was just what you did-help him get clothes for job interviews and a P.O. Box so he can apply for jobs, so he can get back on his feet and hopefully help someone else down the road. Great video! I love people who do this stuff for the right reasons like this, hoping to inspire others to help out. God bless you guys!
GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!
God bless you
Love what your doing. I am 17 I got two jobs my aunts kicking me and my mom out so I like what you are doing keep up the love !!❤️
"Share a smile, stay positive and give fruitfully". (Mark Reininga).
Thank you for anything you did! Always supporst and follows you!
Thank you so much!
Was I the only one excited for him to get his stuff?! God bless the mom n son 💜
Mark,
You are truly an angel on earth! Thank you for sharing and inspiring others to follow your lead. You are a beautiful soul ❤
There are men/ people who have a good heart , helping others with nothing....God bless you more...
God bless you all
That is so awesome! I love seeing these kinds of acts of kindness. I came from homelessness as a child and later I was as an adult. God changed my life and housed me. And I get excited to hear others being welcomed in to the family. God is a good God 💙😃
There is no such thing as bad people just bad situations . and giving a situation will make you act certain ways. This a beautiful act in humanity
God sent those two guys to help him. That was a blessing.
this is so amazing, you have a beautiful heart and personality ♥
Someone people in the world have a heart full of love .Guess what one of them is you ❤️Thank you for helping the poor .I hate how people disrespect them
Deserves more views.
Very good bro, continue :)
He has a wonderful attitude. Life will not hold him own for long!
This young man is struggling and he is still fighting in a sense to help people. Fighting to keep the mentality of sharing and helping each other out even thought he has probably had some shit luck in life. Touching stuff
I just saw this video from 2 years ago. How is Kieran and his mom doing. He is such a nice young man.
Great for them and thank you kindly for your giving. Blessings to you all.😄😄
you know you never know how lucky you are till you meet people like this most of us take stuff for granted but these people are so happy for the littlest things
It's so stressful being homeless. Hard to feel grateful but it's better than nothing. More wealthy people should do this sort of thing.
This made me cry . God bless you guys . I'm more than ecstatic they made it off the streets . That's love right there man !
love this, thank you for your generous and giving heart. you have inspired me for sure.
