Three teens from Hartlepool, UK were moved by a sight many of us see every day: a homeless man.
Natasha Osborne, Danielle McCarthy and Chloe Parke, all only 13 years old, were eating pizza at a Pizza Hut when they saw the man alone and shivering in front of a theater. They quickly sprang into action.
The three girls purchased a blanket, water, and some food for the man from a nearby store, using the money they had left after their meal.
The short video starts as the girls enter the store and start piling supplies into a cart. At first, you would think that they are just teenagers having some fun.
But when the camera is taken outside and the homeless man comes into view, it becomes much more apparent that the girls were out to do some good. Watch the man's reaction when he's handed the supplies — he's so grateful! They also gave him the rest of their change.
It's always great to hear that teenagers are trying to do good at such young ages: We came across the story of two teens who bought 100 hamburgers for the homeless, and this one about students who were there for a grandma in her time of need — we were so moved by both!
The man also told them his story: "He said he gave up his job and his home to come here to be with his girlfriend, but they had broken up and he was trying to get back to Ipswich," said Chloe.
Natasha added, "We put it on Facebook to try to get more people to do stuff like that. It is amazing, we didn't think it would get this much attention."
If you're proud of these girls for their generosity, please SHARE!
Today was heartbreaking when we met this man who became homeless because of one small mistake. We put our money together and bought him food, water and a blanket to keep warm. We recorded this to show you what people can do if they put their hearts together! It really is the small things that make life count!
