The school cafeteria ladies never get enough credit for being social workers. They give kids encouragement, stop future bullies, slide kids families left over food for a week. Thank you 54th Street Elementary School Los Angeles Lunch ladies.

I'm crying like a baby watching you! Gary Owen, my admiration of you and your family has skyrocketed! I hope young Mr. Bailey realizes his dream, and pays it forward. Loved this SOOO much!!
That was definitely awesome! Loved, loved, loved when he said “Make your name mean something!”. That is so profound and meaningful. When all is said and done, and the dust settles, your name is all that matters...and what you have done for others.
Gary Owen you are Blessed!!!!! I was looking for treasures today and I found it in you and Kenya. I'm mad at you because my tears are messing up my make up!!! God bless you! God bless your wife! The world is better because of you!!!!!
Gary... you the MAN my brother..!!! This is what God wants to see happening everywhere not only is the US but around the world ... the well to do ..helping the less fortunate.. you, your family and everyone there ... will have God's abundant love and blessings plus good fortune so you'll can pay it forward ... God bless ☝️🤘🙌🏻🙏🏻
That young man may end up being one of a very few great, caring, and honest lawyer. Blessings for the Owen family. Showing that paying paying it forward is the right thing to do.
You're a great guy Gary, I did the same and the student. He did so good the school gave him a scholarship for the remaining 3 years AND gave him a scholarship for his masters.
I have loved Gary since the 1st time I saw his stand up on tv and that feeling has never wavered! This right here....this is the essence of who Gary is. He not only made his way but is passing that blessing on! My respect for him as a human being has soared a million trillion fold!! You can tell he is respectful of others and always has the best intentions but to do this? He & his family are just awesone! Congrats to the young man who got the scholarship. I know he will go far with all these folks in his corner, believing and having faith & hope in him! God bless them all & Gary, you are AWESOME!! We need to see more positive things like this on tv & in the media!!
I used to make friends with the lunch room ladies. They are some of the best people who listen. Shelly you are a wonderful person, and many blessings to you.
When you give a piece of your heart away... Can't help it but shed a tear. This action wasn't done for publicity, it's coming from the heart. God bless Gary Owen for this. #loveIsmyreligion
Exactly. Nothing compares to seeing how things work first hand. I remember my senior year of college we could do either an internship or a Capstone project. I went with the internship, which turned into a career right out of college.
You Sir, Gary Owen, have my deepest respect and admiration as I was always taught that when you become successful to never forget others and to give a hand to pull them up by assisting in ways they never thought possible. Big Respect!!!!!!
Just when I thought I couldn't respect and admire this brother any more... a truly straight up dude who knows how to love with his whole heart. Right on Gary! Keep shinin!
My issue is not that I disliked the video but that my heart was broken for the other children in the class. How many of those kids were just as deserving and overlooked? How many children came from broken homes and were neglected without the opportunity to show their true potential but were completely overlooked and disregarded? Those same teenagers then had to endure watching another student receive a full scholarship. I'm not playing favorites and I'm sure that young man deserved what he got but it still bothers me that other students had to watch while life changing opportunities were not offered to them and the universe seemed to have overlooked their needs yet again.
Gary Owen is one of a kind, during my darkest times I watch him to lighten my day. I wish you and your family the best, I think this number 30 times I'm watching this video. I just adore people with a heart of gold like you.
If you take nothing away from this, remember one thing Gary said: Just a small gesture like how you greet someone or just give them a smile or an encouraging word can change the outcome of their day. To me that's great advice. Sometimes we get caught up in ourselves. I know I do.
I'm from Cleveland and had a terrible life growing up. I got out through the military and not am working to make the best life for my kids that I can. I understand the tears that Gary has. When you can do for someone in those situations it's what you wish you would have had. It's what needs to be done. Gary keep doing these things. God loves us all and rewards those who follow him and lead good lives. And this act was as good as it gets.
I 💘 what Gary said about PAYING HIM BACK by kicking as in life and taking on the responsibility and HONOR of being that 'somebody' for the NEXT person up. People are so SELFISH, they don't 'get' or understand that if THEY don't KILL IT....they can't become the BLESSING that how many others desperately NEED.... I tell ppl all the time be GREEDY, be BOLD, go GET IT....you can't HELP anyone if you don't HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH....but you can't get there settling for LESS..... Being average can't HELP anyone in ways that truly matter.... Do better than most, so you can help better than most
Damn Gary! How you gonna cut onions on this video! You and your beautiful wife made this young mans dreams come true! Hope the man above blesses yall ten fold!
That was a first class act. One of a kind. It made me proud. And as a man I was emotional as well. I applaud you and 🇺🇸 salute you 🇺🇸. A true REAL LIFE AMERICAN 🇺🇸 HERO !!!
He’s a great man... as wealthy as he is, he can only do so much... but like he said in his own life... only takes one person to change another persons life. Much love to this man... more people should see how better he’s making this world with just showing that much love.
My husband is always telling our son, nieces and nephews that their names mean something, to never forget that, and to never tarnish it. Once its tarnished its hard to get it back. I really love seeing people helping others so selfishly. That is what we are supposed to do, lift each other up.
I’ve always loved watching Gary! He’s made me laugh for years. But to see this other side shows just what an awesome man he is. He & his beautiful wife are amazing people to give back in this manor. May God continue to bless you, so that you may bless others!
Need more people like Gary Owens who is actually genuine and has a loving and caring heart. Uses what he is blessed with to bless others. Good man, keep that ALOHA spirit.
Crying through the whole thing. Gary is one of the most special people in this world. So glad I found him, he lifts me up in laughter and makes me hopeful for humanity period!
The school cafeteria ladies never get enough credit for being social workers. They give kids encouragement, stop future bullies, slide kids families left over food for a week. Thank you 54th Street Elementary School Los Angeles Lunch ladies.
That's why Gary Owen is one of my favorite comedians. So humble, caring, real and giving....Love this dude.

That's what you call giving back. It's not the money, its the emotions and feelings that'll make this work. Respect.
Well there was a “donation” that wasn’t made just to make someone look good!! It was definitely made from the heart!!!!
In spite of all of his success, Gary remains humble.

When we shed tears it's because it's from the heart. Let us all continue to be great examples some how some way...
I love how Gary is the one bawling. He's a good man.
That was definitely awesome! Loved, loved, loved when he said “Make your name mean something!”. That is so profound and meaningful. When all is said and done, and the dust settles, your name is all that matters...and what you have done for others.

#loveIsmyreligion
That internship is worth it's weight in gold. That's where he'll really learn to be a lawyer.
Exactly. Nothing compares to seeing how things work first hand. I remember my senior year of college we could do either an internship or a Capstone project. I went with the internship, which turned into a career right out of college.
You Sir, Gary Owen, have my deepest respect and admiration as I was always taught that when you become successful to never forget others and to give a hand to pull them up by assisting in ways they never thought possible. Big Respect!!!!!!

That was the most sincere gift ever given! Great job Owen Family!
I'm not crying, you're crying. Gary you and your wife are awesome.
I liked Gary before this. I really love him now. Awesome.
It takes a lot of strength to display that level of vulnerability. I really feel you there Gary
Gary’s heart really showed in this video and I glad I watched!
Just when I thought I couldn't respect and admire this brother any more... a truly straight up dude who knows how to love with his whole heart. Right on Gary! Keep shinin!
To the 37 people that “Disliked” this video and voted it down. Re-evaluate your lives.
Lol. When I watched it was 54. I scrolled down the comments and read this, well said. Great post
now that's a true word......examine it closely
68
Exactly my thoughts
My issue is not that I disliked the video but that my heart was broken for the other children in the class. How many of those kids were just as deserving and overlooked? How many children came from broken homes and were neglected without the opportunity to show their true potential but were completely overlooked and disregarded? Those same teenagers then had to endure watching another student receive a full scholarship. I'm not playing favorites and I'm sure that young man deserved what he got but it still bothers me that other students had to watch while life changing opportunities were not offered to them and the universe seemed to have overlooked their needs yet again.
Gary Owen is one of a kind, during my darkest times I watch him to lighten my day. I wish you and your family the best, I think this number 30 times I'm watching this video. I just adore people with a heart of gold like you.
that is absolutely amazing! You are a very special man and will always be this boys' inspiration. God bless you!
OMG, just when I thought I couldn't love him more....! He and his wife are beautiful people!
Dope, Gary has been a great comedian as well as a great family man, and now he has even become a great inspiration for many others like myself.
You have to respect a person who doesn't forget where he came from and a wife that supports his decision.
If you take nothing away from this, remember one thing Gary said: Just a small gesture like how you greet someone or just give them a smile or an encouraging word can change the outcome of their day. To me that's great advice. Sometimes we get caught up in ourselves. I know I do.
Thank you Gary for knowing where you came from and being 100% genuine. Impact you'll have will make the world a better place. ❤
I know this was 3 years ago but Gary Owen just turned into my idol. I adorn selflessness.
I cried, when Gary cried. Gary and his wife are AWESOME PEOPLE
“Make sure your name mean something” those words hit so deep.
what a great man and its wonderful how his wife has his back. awesome
I'm from Cleveland and had a terrible life growing up. I got out through the military and not am working to make the best life for my kids that I can. I understand the tears that Gary has. When you can do for someone in those situations it's what you wish you would have had. It's what needs to be done. Gary keep doing these things. God loves us all and rewards those who follow him and lead good lives. And this act was as good as it gets.
God Bless You and your Wife!!! Much Love from Kansas!
I 💘 what Gary said about PAYING HIM BACK by kicking as in life and taking on the responsibility and HONOR of being that 'somebody' for the NEXT person up.
People are so SELFISH, they don't 'get' or understand that if THEY don't KILL IT....they can't become the BLESSING that how many others desperately NEED....
I tell ppl all the time be GREEDY, be BOLD, go GET IT....you can't HELP anyone if you don't HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH....but you can't get there settling for LESS.....
Being average can't HELP anyone in ways that truly matter....
Do better than most, so you can help better than most
You are one inspiring cat, Gary Owen. You & your family keep raising the bar for all of us to aspire. Thank you:)
😭😭😭😭 OMG. CONGRATS ON HIS JOURNEY. WELL DESERVED WITH GUARDIAN ANGELS TO HELP.
Wow. Extremely touching. Part of why he is so successful. Kind heart who cares for others. We need more people like Gary in this world
Damn Gary! How you gonna cut onions on this video! You and your beautiful wife made this young mans dreams come true! Hope the man above blesses yall ten fold!
That was a first class act. One of a kind. It made me proud. And as a man I was emotional as well. I applaud you and 🇺🇸 salute you 🇺🇸. A true REAL LIFE AMERICAN 🇺🇸 HERO !!!
Gary and Kenya Owen, you're good people and have restored my hope in humanity. Thank you for paying it forward.
He’s a great man... as wealthy as he is, he can only do so much... but like he said in his own life... only takes one person to change another persons life. Much love to this man... more people should see how better he’s making this world with just showing that much love.
Damn Gary, making the whole internet cry.
This made me tear up... Great job
Many people don't get it if you love people and have excess money you can bless others. God bless Gary and his wife.
Damn Gary! you always make me laugh...now..im crying like a baby! May God bless you and your gorgeous family. you are a great person.
My husband is always telling our son, nieces and nephews that their names mean something, to never forget that, and to never tarnish it. Once its tarnished its hard to get it back.
I really love seeing people helping others so selfishly. That is what we are supposed to do, lift each other up.
Gary is a good man. Impossible to not cry watching this.
What a blessing and a world changing, if everyone that is wealthy enough would do the same to just one kid.
He is spool humble may God bless him and his wife and their family
Wow.... genuine human being. My eyes cant help but sweat
I’ve always loved watching Gary! He’s made me laugh for years. But to see this other side shows just what an awesome man he is. He & his beautiful wife are amazing people to give back in this manor. May God continue to bless you, so that you may bless others!
You're the best Gary
I love the fact that he is emotionally connected to this young man. Giving from the heart is so powerful.
Damn!!!!!!! What a great thing. 100% real man with a true heart.
So sweet Gary. We need more people like him. God bless you
Need more people like Gary Owens who is actually genuine and has a loving and caring heart. Uses what he is blessed with to bless others. Good man, keep that ALOHA spirit.
Much respect for you Gary, you have make me laugh and now cry in joy. Gid bless you bro.
Crying through the whole thing. Gary is one of the most special people in this world. So glad I found him, he lifts me up in laughter and makes me hopeful for humanity period!
