Ryan Guerra works part-time at a supermarket in Iowa, but he doesn’t spend his whole paycheck on himself. Instead, the 17-year-old uses half of the money he makes to help those less fortunate than him.
The teenager gathers essential items, including reusable water bottles and toilet paper, places them in what he calls "Care Backpacks," and hands them to the homeless people of his area.
In the video below, Guerra is seen giving the backpacks to several homeless people who appear thankful for his good deed. Like the police officer who helped two homeless boys and their mother in an unexpected way, it's clear Guerra is also making a big difference.
“Some people, they don’t care about the homeless,” Chris Weaver told Iowa’s KCCI. “I’m sure they’d want us off the face of the earth if they had it their way, but I’m very thankful for people that do help.”
The teenager is hopeful that this may encourage others to also give back to those who need it.
“I hope this gets people to realize that they are fortunate enough to have everything, and they should help out with those who don’t,” he said.
To help Guerra, you can donate to his GoFundMe page.
