In Baton Rouge, La., nine-year-old Kelvin Ellis Jr. thought he'd found an opportunity to help a homeless person, when he spotted a disheveled man standing outside a coffee shop. Kevin offered the man, Matt Busbice, a dollar bill - the only money he had. Steve Hartman reports on the boy's selfless act, and what he received in return.

@paul08211973 Месяц назад

It's stories like these, that should be getting all of the attention in the world!!! Raise your hand, if you have ever played catch by yourself, by throwing the ball up on the roof, like he did. WTG to the cameraman that captured that moment.

I was homeless five years ago a group of five black young men were coming towards me and I thought for sure they were going to attack me but instead they gave me money and told me not to give up they would stop by once a week to bring me money and see how i was doing i was only homeless for four months but I will never forget those young men

Now let's see if this experience helps Mr. Busbice evolve into a compassionate human who abstains from killing ALL sentient beings...not just his own species.

@Spiritdove64 Месяц назад

real giving is not to be rewarded

@jeffhackett2933 Месяц назад

Not sure Kelvin’s mission to help the homeless was achieved here.

@sharonblackman1499 Месяц назад

Amen

@LovesDavidCassidy Месяц назад

The kid did a good thing but he needs to very careful you never know what the homeless people would do, they could hurt him I am just saying, he got lucky that this person wasn’t homeless but I am just saying the kid needs to be very careful & I am not judging the homeless people I know they are people too but I just don’t want the kid to get hurt?!

@markprance8236 Месяц назад

GREAT STORY, BUT YOU MISSED THE POINT!!!!!! THE IMPORTANCE WAS NOT THE DOLLAR, BUT THE TURNING POINT OF STORY WAS WHEN THE MAN WENT INTO THE CORNER TO PRAY AS HE HAD NOT DONE SO YET THAT MORNING. THAT BROUGHT GOD WHO INSPIRED THE BOY, WHO IN TURN INSPIRED THE MAN. LET GOD BE PRAISED, AND THEN THE STORY HAS ITS TRUE MEANING!!!!!!

@jojopuppyfish Месяц назад

As someone who has lost 90 pounds, the best thing you can teach that kid is how to eat. He is morbidly obese. Not making fun of him. He needs to go on a no sugar/no flour diet. No sodas. No snacks. That is the best way to help Kelvin Ellis Jr. Great Kid.

@ishotthesheriff5686 Месяц назад

Really???

@virginiaf.5764 Месяц назад

That's your takeaway?

@EricaGamet Месяц назад

If his family could only give him a dollar for his grades and it was the only money he had, I'm guessing his family doesn't have a ton of money. And unfortunately, poorer folks will have poorer diets because stuff full of sugar and flour is cheap and more accessible. It's a very privileged take you have there. Also, you don't have any idea about his actual health. Is he on medication or does he have a condition that makes him heavier? Also, he's a growing boy and could shoot up in height very soon. This kid does a wonderful thing and your mind goes to "something is wrong with him and I know how to 'fix' him"? This is NOT the way.
