  • Here is the finished copy of the footage I captured while paying for peoples groceries during the 2016 holiday season at the ShopRite in Brooklawn, NJ. I hope to spread the message to people to pay it forward and to keep the spirit of Christmas alive.

    "He paid my bill, I've gotta give him a hug" I love the last woman reaction 😊❤

    I love how he gives and leaves! Not standing around to get praise or attention. That's how I want to give.

    That is to me, the most selfless way to be kind. Be kind, walk away and give the glory to God.

    I would love to do this as a full time job. The exact same way, breeze past, smile, and walk away quietly.

    Omg the last lady left the line to go chase him to give him a hug for paying her groceries. That had me in tears! 😍 god bless the people who do this for complete strangers & anyone in general

    Paying and then walking away is a real act of kindness, God blesses true givers, The people who video themselves announcing they're going to pay their bill aren't acts of kindness, generally they are set up with everyone involved in on it, produced for likes and subscribers only

    I love how he just leaves and doesn’t want any glory from it. The world needs more people like him.

    way to go man...we did that when I was a kid, but we went and gave homeless people $5 each which was my allowance for each week...I was able to give 20 people money when I was 10...made me feel awesome to be able to do it

    Someone once paid for me too. I bought 20€ worth of food and while I was struggling to get the 20€ from my wallet some nice lady just said '' hey i got you'' and swept her card
    And that was the best day of my life.

    When you give freely like that, The Lord cherishes your actions. Karma rewards 10 fold. If we all lived by the Golden Rule, we would not have all these daily problems amongst ourselves. Love your neighbor as yourself. easy to say, much harder to do.

    It is through a GoFundME. Imagine if 1000 people put 20.00 each into that, the one giving would not be harmed, and the 1,000 times 20 turns into great helping. Thank you to all who give, and to those who receive, your time to give will come. Praise God for the helpers and the receivers.

    This really pulled at my heart strings. Love the kindness some people have for others. I would love to be able to pay it forward but I can't, I can't even buy Christmas for my family this year cause of medical bills and living on s.s. It's just been a really hard year for us. God bless those who can help and do.

      Lewis De Vera ... my exact thoughts as I was watching the video. Best video of this type I have seen. I am disappointed that I am 2 years too later to help with the GoFundMe but it has definitely inspired me to go to that site and find a request that speaks to me. Kudos to you, Eric Richardson. Confident that you have inspired many others as well. In a time when our country is so divided these actions can serve to bring us together regardless of political and social differences when we acknowlege we are all human beings and Americans.
