    Why thumbs down, I just can’t understand some people. There should be more people like Bon Jovi and his beautiful wife in this world. I lived in New York for a few years and I saw a lot of homeless people on the street, so I took it upon myself to make sandwiches at home and hand them out,. A little bit of kindness goes a long way. Bless you both❤️🇨🇦

      Exactly! I have SO much respect for them and I love how they don't just send a check in, and go about their lives...they actually donate their time by physically stacking/ lifting heavy boxes, unpacking, moving, shipping,etc...and donate their hearts by following up, making calls to make it happen and staying on top of everything to make sure it gets done. Amazing couple! And a great team together. ❤️🙂🙏

    I've been a Bon Jovi fan since 1984 or 1985. I didn't know he married his high school sweetheart. With his looks and being the frontman of an incredible rock band, he had his pick of so many women. The fact that he married Dorothea and remains with her is a very rare thing. God Bless them and all they do for the poor. That is so much more than being who he is on stage.

Which i think he did had affairs in the period he was single but he realized he missed his ex so much and loved her so after the long tour he came back and went to her home and they talked and he said he deciced to marry her and she agreed

    I remember when I was in high school Jon announced his marriage to Dorthea. So many girls in school we're pissed. Calling her ugly.
    I just told them they were jealous because she had him and they didn't. It cracked me up these girls actually thought they had a chance with him.
    They are a true success story and it's good to see he uses his celebrity to do good things with her by his side.

      Me too, I'm 49, i was listeing to them since i was 10
      Still got my Bon Jovi Album , Still Love SHOT THROUGH THE HEART and SHE DON'T KNOW ME
      back in the 90s i once saw Jon on an interview and he said something pretty close the following.
      First he went on about a topic of , When someone achieves a certain amount of financial success,
      then when they have bought everything they need and are taken care of
      then they have taken care of their freinds and family , What do you do after that , What do you do after there is no use for money anymore
      he said..... You help humanity and your fellow man
      he then said this...
      "If ever there is someone in need , Who is Genuinely in need" (he then cautiously pauses to make sure he chooses his words correctly and continues to say ) "If i can use my money, my popularity , my influence or celebrity to help............. I will"
      that always stayed with me

    Bon Jovi is the soundtrack for me growing up in Jersey in the 80's. Staying happily married for any amount of years is always a challenge. To see Jon and Dorothea still happily married and best friends that work together to give back to their community and to help people in need is really what life's all about, especially these days. Dorothea, would you consider writing a book about your perspective on being married to Jon and your experiences as a wife and mother from the beginning of his career? I would buy that book in a second. You are truly amazing people.

    Jon has been helping the less fortunate since before he was a superstar. He gave out concert tickets to a child with physical disabilities because he bumped into him on a flight to Denver. He's always thinking of others. He doesn't take his successful lifestyle for granted...he's always sharing with others everywhere he goes. This is a man whose "a gift" from God to the world. 🙏

Love the idea and met some wonderful people that they've really helped feed and give a chance to learn another skill and that their are definitely people out there that care and very willing to "pay it forward". What a committed and wonderful couple they are!!💜💜

    • @CarrieLuikens
      @CarrieLuikens 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yep, the pay forward idea is very cool. It encourages everyone to contribute in some way. That is how everything should be, actually. Those who have more share a little extra to help out someone with less.

  • @stephanietemples3999
    @stephanietemples3999 3 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    I've been a Bon Jovi fan for decades! But when I see positive uplifting stories like this, it just makes me admire him and his family as kind human beings, not celebrities. He and his wife are "walking the walk", using their super powers for good! It's inspiring that they aren't topping, they just keep doing more and they are affecting real change in their own "backyard". Sure, it's great when celebrities give to causes in other countries, but there are SO MANY communities in need right here in this country. It's so sad to think of children going to school hungry or our seniors that live below the poverty line and add in the pandemic and it impacts things even more these days. We're the United States of America, one of the most prosperous nations in the world, we should always strive to do better, be better. Like Jon said, it doesn't matter who you are, where you come from, what side of the aisle you're on, everyone should have access to the basic needs to function in day to day life: food, water, shelter, clothing. A little human kindness goes a long way. I wish there was a way to do what he and his wife have done in their community, in more communities across the country.

    • @CarrieLuikens
      @CarrieLuikens 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was probably your Guardian Angels saying "pay attention to what Jon Bon Jovi is doing", perhaps to inspire you and show you there are good people doing good deeds in this world. :)
      Anytime you experience a synchronicity like hearing a specific song and then some other connection to that singer/band or song, it is probably your Angel helpers pointing out something to you.
      I recently had a similar experience with the band Europe. Their songs were showing up on my YT feed, and because they are one of my fave 80s bands, I looked up their band YT channel and saw the virtual videos they were doing last year playing from their home studio for fans, to lift their fans spirits last year. I thought wow, that is really cool and nice to see musicians doing that.
