This Guy Gave $100 to a Homeless Man to See How He Spent It; Here’s What Happened

A video posted recently titled How Does A Homeless Man Spend $100? by YouTube user JoshPalerLin has already racked up over 2 million views. He says in the video description that…

“I wasn’t expecting to get this kind of footage… to be honest, I thought this video would be more an exposing homeless people video at first. But I’m so glad that I could witness and capture such a beautiful moment.”

JoshPalerLin continued,

“This has to be one of the most amazing experience so far on this channel. I did not only just help a homeless man, but I actually met an incredible human being and a friend. We were following him for a couple miles for almost an hour or so. Later that day we took him out to eat and got him a hotel to stay. The more I talk to him, the more I sense how genuine he is…. I gave him my number and told him to call me when he needs help. This again is proof that not all the homeless people are bad people. Never judge a book by its cover. One love!”

There are currently national and global actions being planned to help homeless people everywhere.
