We save a Saigon kid's life 

So much pressure on these children. In an ideal world they would be playing and studying in school.

God bless you Troy. I grew up in an Orphanage in Saigon from 65 to 69 during the Vietnam war after loosing my whole family. It was a miserable childhood. Currently living and doing well in the the US. i plan to leave all my wealth to help these poor children back in my home country. My son and daughters that I've raised here in the US dont need a dime since I've raised them well. AND DOING VERY WELL in their career paths. It would be awesome to cross paths and meet the legend Troy when I plan to visit in 2023

It's always someone else's fault they are not in school. It's obvious they never will be.......that scooter never left Saigon when you bought it. ( For those who may not know, the mother told Troy she had sent the scooter to the little girl's twin sister, at their home town, when he next saw them.) It was sold the minute your back was turned. I guess that sounds hateful and negative, but it's the reality of a poor person in a poor nation. I so wanted that little girl to have some fun in her life. I remember how thrilled she was to get it.

Feeding squirrels. Helping struggling kid. This video is everything I love about Troy.

Parents have no interest in school just money money money. No thaught of the kids future at all.

what happened with Troy., suddenly disappeared again. would like some update about Chau Anh and Lien

"Why don't you go to busier places?" "I already walked a lot of places it's tiring." I'm dead 😭😭😭😭 She just wants to be alone with her own thoughts sometimes like any child that age.

The twin sister who turned up later who Troy already knew is so bright & cheerful. This turned out to be a great video. Hope to see them again. 👍

Thanks! Credit goes to Lawrence Holmes for inspiring this donation. I’m hoping others will match his donation too!

What brave little girls ! As American and other western country kids complain that their parents don't buy them a new i-phone. Heart breaking.

How can anyone hit children at all, but espesially so lovely polite and hardworking kids, they dont even deserve yelling.

Great work, Troy; glad to see you're keeping this up still been following you for a while. Seeing those tears from someone so young just destroys my heart. Children should not suffer on the street like this.

Seeing this little girl cry over her failed day breaks my heart. Then Troy comes and saves the day ❤️. That's awesome. You know these kids will always remember you for that. But I also like the fact you didn't throw money at them. Because they shouldn't expect money from you every time your around either. Then they become dependent on donations. Almost like it's exspected.

Thank you, Troy, for helping out that little girl by purchasing her remaining tickets. These kids are so vulnerable, but have no recourse at this young age. It’s a miserable existence. Thank you for lifting her spirits.

Shes not an entrepreneur. She is not a sales person. She is being forced into something she does not want to do.

Thanks for helping them man. You're a good guy ❤️

Oh no. Troy went MIA again

This is heartbreaking. Keep up the excellent work Troy.

I hear what you're saying Troy. On one hand it was great to help the girl by buying her last 15 tickets. But on the other hand, what if her mom starts giving her more tickets to sell now since she sold all of hers on that day? Could be more beatings coming. But you did the same thing that I would have done. Keep up the great work Troy!

Wow. This reminds me of one of your earlier vids from eons ago. A girl on the side of the road crying because she was stuck with unsellable tickets and was scared of being hit. This definitely sucks. Beating your kids because they're failing to do something they really shouldn't be doing in the first place, that you make them do, is horrible.

Thanks for helping them, Troy. Many Blessings.

Everyone stop thinking about what thing you want to buy next for yourself and help a person in need instead. At least try to do this a few times. You will be amazed when you notice the greatest gift you can give yourself is when you help out another person.

Wow...poor little girls, It's sad to see how their own parents exploit them without care for their welfare. God bless the poor and those who help them.

To beat a child for not selling enough tickets is beyond wrong, it's evil. That poor girl, feel so sorry for her being the child of such a monster.

It's so sad. While I don't see many homeless kids or kids like these here in Hawaii, but in my homeland Philippines there's soooooo soooooo much kids like these even in worse positions. I can't help but help them. But once someone sees you help one the rest will come and beg you. There's only so much you can give you know what I mean? I'm not rich. It's soooo sad

The mother shouldn't punish her for not selling those tickets. It's so very sad.

poor kid. You can just see the blank stare in her eyes, thinking what's gonna happen when she goes home without selling all the tickets

That broke my heart. The family needs help so those little ones can go to school. Young girls turn to prostitution when they can't feed or house themselves.

Ah the mystery of the imposter twin solved? And the change in personality of Ut Nho had to do with the beatings...oh dear...

Poor Sweetheart. That's awful for her. Shame on her parents!

You asked her if she will be beaten, she answered yes, with tears in her eyes.. and you laughed??? The poor child. I do love that you helped her, thank you for doing that. it breaks my heart to see a child in this situation. I don't understand the world! No child should ever be forced to do this. Afraid to go home knowing they will be hit.

Poor kid. A sad sight. Children shouldn't have to be on the streets like that. Unfortunately children like her are all over this screwed up world. What a world. And the government doesn't give a flip about them. Sad.

I'm confused - these 2 little girls are still in a very difficult situation so how did he help them? Unless they are taken out of this cruel dynamic how did he help? They need education and a real family to help them.

You are those girls Hero! you are very kind we need more people like you in this world.

Those tears worked on you. Sweet little girl and tears. Mom and das know this and put her out there. Too sad. She should be out there playing and living her life.

Troy I sent you $$$ for Lien & CA it should help hold them about 3 months for food, laundry services & utilities..🙏🏽

so good to see Ut Nho again! hope they get into school soon!

With all the economic growth and development in Vietnam it breaks my to see these children missing out and living like this!

I have kids of my own. This video made me cry.

Children need to be loved and taken care of by their parents. Her mother is doing so much psychological harm to her daughter. Children are supposed to be provided for by their parents and not have to provide for their parents. Parents like her mother shouldn't have children. Praying that she will grow up with lots of success and to know what love is. Seeing her crying is so heartbreaking and I just hope that she can sell the tickets so that she won't have to be scared of getting beat when she goes home. She needs to be very careful with the money so that she doesn't get robbed. Why do people have to be so evil especially towards children?

Troy You are good man. No many people in this world like you. Wish you luck.

Just came upon your channel.Breaks my ❤ seeing that young child crying.Thank you Troy for helping her out.🙌🏽🙏🏼🤙🏼

It's like H. C. Andersen : The Little Match Girl 😱😱

Hey Troy I know it's about survival putting food on the table plus rent..but man! it breaks my heart to see these poor children being exploited like that! "I know i'm probably wrong using word Exploited cause it's a family thing but that's the way i feel". ✌✌Good thing you came along to help her out.

troy saving kids since 2013

People who enslave their children, then physically abuse them if they don't come through should be imprisoned. That's not being a parent. Good on you for saving these girls from their own parents, which sickens me.

So sad seeing such a young precious young kid live like this. Love to pay her father & mother a visit & educate them on how to treat kids. Absolutely disgusting to hit your kids in this matter for not selling tickets.

Thanks! Mike Lloyd said match donation so here it is, God bless Troy

I was born in a poor family. As a child, I have a loving parents protect me so that I did not feel I was lack of anything. But I remember my mom could not even buy me a bowl of pho. I grow up in US but still have few memories of those time so I understand and sympathize families in that situation. I do a lot of charity, at least more charity than average person. I learned that most families in poverty typically make a lot of babies, like 8 kids. Not sure lack of birth control or lack of education in such topic. Those kids work to help support the family. But generally speaking, educated parents tend to have very small family. I also see parents at their 70s and 80s pick recycle to survive. Kid grow up, get married and say their goodbyes. It is a heartbreaking. One positive is Vietnamese culture do a lot more charity to help the poor than most. They donate food, cloths, money, and sometimes build homes for the lucky poor family. During COVID lockdown, some landlords give tenants free rents or 50% rent for 2-3 months. In US, government have to pass law to make landlords unable to convicts tenant. I have never heard landlord give free rents in US. As a landlords myself, I understand that side too. Landlords in US are individual person who have mortgage to pay. Landlords in Vietnam might be fully own their properties.

I came to Vietnam for 12 months 51 years ago. I have lived here full time for the past 20 years. I see kids like these all the time. I've seen kids brutalized by their mothers for not selling enough tickets but the girls I feel the most sorry for are the massage girls. So many are sent from the Mekong to work in massage parlors to support their families. They grow old very quickly.

Any of those kids ever get robbed? By themselves with lots of cash, would be tempting to some people, maybe not in Vietnam though.

Wow!!!! So sad to see the hardship that these little girls have to endure…I can’t see the mother getting them into school,She is using them for her own gain

Don't cry!!! Why is it that crying kids is kind of funny. I mean sad. But I guess we adults know it's going to be okay?

Your language skills allow you to be on a personal level with Vietnamese locals. Your a good person the way you help kids.

Thank you brother for helping out my people. Bring tears to my eyes see these little girls have to endure hardship such early ages. God bless you my friend

Thanks!

Bless You! Makes me cry. The poor little ones. So many all over the world.

Cam on anh..love these video ...feeling sad these kids

Thanks for helping the kids, Troy. Every time I went to Vietnam, I always bought vé số or lottery tickets and asked them signed behind the tickets, then I gave back to them with hoping that they will win. They looked at me and surprised then thanks me.

my heart breaks when I see these kids. While the kids in America are so spoiled

Vietnamese kid: "My mom is going to beat me if I don't sell the tickets." American kid: "I'm going to beat my mom if I don't get the new iPhone!"

Little Ut Nho! She has really gotten tall since we seen her last.

Nice to hear the tourists are back in town. When I visited in early July it was still very few.

These are the types of channels that deserve the millions of subs

That breaks me so hard poor kids they shouldn't be doing this at all but I understand not every one has a easy life I wish they future blessings and a lot of money God bless them

Sad seeing these children struggling with their daily lives.

It's so sad these bright kids don't get schooled to exit the poverty cycle. Thanks Troy for doing everything you can. The bat signal isn't exaggerated really with you.

Where's Troy...reminds me of "Where's Waldo?" game.

what a good deed you did Troy, well done mate.

Great work you are doing keep it up. Will help agian soon All the best 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

My heart is melting im so thankful to God i was blessed . To Live a normal life i am not rich i dont have much but at least i can eat what ever i want whenever i want. From now on i will do better make every count of my life meaningful. Saving making one soul happy at a time whenever i can ill pray for this girl my she find and all other children like her around the world a refuge of happiness and contentment. Good health as always too amen

I felt so bad seeing that little girl sitting there crying bless you man, bless you for helping her out you are a good person.

You're a legend Troy. Keep up the good work.

Aww poor baby girl. I'll adopt her is she has no one. Great job troy!!

This is a sad case. If you bring a kid into this world it's your responsibilty to take care of them. You don't leave your kid unattened. Something bad can happen. The sad part is there is a child abuse going on here with the parents beating a child.

Thanks for helping the kids. Unfair that the parents put pressure on there kids. 😡😡

Troy is the best, very inspiring ❤️ Thank you Troy🇻🇳🙏

We support a local school that is struggling. We had a little boy that used to sell tickets at our cafe in Saigon. We offered to buy all his tickets regularly so that my wife (teacher) could spend time helping his education but he wasn't interested. My concern is the predators that try and exploit these kids in their vulnerable state.

They will dearly remember you when they grow up.

Troy thank you for stopping and extending help to the young lady.

Poor thing

You are my hero. I always help out kids and homeless people when I'm traveling the world. Thank you so much for what you do. You are a great person. That kid will remember your compassion her entire life.

Hi my friend Troy how are you x loving the videos x your Scottish fan 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

god bless these kids. how can you hit these beautiful children.

I just left Saigon today. Would have liked to bump into you. Been watching for years. First time in Vietnam, not agreeing with my stomach 🤢 😂

Thats really sad. Im glad you helped her out. it was a nice - and the right - thing to do.

It's not just the massive money you give them, it's not just the beautiful compliments you dole out, it's not just the funny jokes you make smiles with, it's not just the caring and attention that manufactures warmth, what's the most important thing is you SPREAD HOPE ALL OVER THE WORLD!! Thank you Troy !!

I feel so sorry for these girls, but you the bestguy helped them save their worry some. you very kind! may God bless you.

Oh my god my heart breaks. I live in Thailand with it share of poverty & heartbreak which I try basically to aid. The West have not even the slightest idea how fortunate they are. Most people in the world don't even have the basic of necessities. You are a good man

For you people who aren't aware of the life style and culture in Vietnam. It's a country that is still riddled with famine, poverty, and lack of government social welfare. If the kid didn't sell enough tickets; the parents might just one day sell her off to some rich Chinese guy as a bride once she hits 18 years old. If the little girls parents are not farmers; they are living everyday suffering through lack of food and ability to plan for the future. Going to school in South East Asia is a privilege; not a right like the western countries. A lot of these young Vietnamese girls end up turning to drugs, prostitution, or running away to marry some wealthy guy.

At least Chau An’s mother understood the importance of education, and managed to keep CA enrolled in school. Even while living on the street.

I would love to help those kids out, but I know the parents would take the money and just keep sending them selling tickets instead of going to school. Makes me sad and angry at the same time, but I guess unless the family gets a social worker checking up on them weekly nothing will change.

This is the real Troy !!!!!

The mother might beat them for not selling out because the father beats the mother when they all perform poorly

getting back to the original roots of this channel T-roy.....the UN brings us altogether.....just got back from a month in VN, surprising how few tourists there were in hcm, hanoi and vung tau - not helped by to 30 day only tourist visas

We need them in school , How much to get them in school , Mark

God's bless these children ❤️

Awesome video Troy… you came to the rescue like you always do and saved another child in need😍👍😊

Is horrible to see this kids been force to work basically ..!

So sad. That poor sweet girl looked so defeated. Knowing she has to go home and wait a beating. What a horrible, stressful situation that no child should ever face. I just want to scoop her up and save her! Sadly, there are thousands in the same situation. So great of you to help where you can.
