The parent idea is totally genius and the only true reason this will make a real difference for generations to come!!!! All the parents ever want for their smart child is the simple chance of a good job so they can independently provide for that smart child with pride. These smart kids don't just happen by accident, they happen because they have one person who truly believes in them and motivates them every day normally during the most challenging of days. I hope they all grab this lifeline and to the "wonderful human" who is footing the bill for all of this YOU ARE AN ANGEL!
The mere fact that low income kids are being given these opportunities are overwhelming in scope but throw in the fact that their parent/s have this same opportunity is going to change the landscape for generations to come!
The gesture is wonderful. Now let's take attrition into account. Let's see 60min report on these lives 5yr from now and the statistics of who got through college both students and parents. Great program. Now I want to see how effective it is.
I'm dumb, how is sending the parents of college age children to school going to help break the cycle of poverty when the cycle has allready "passed by" the parents? The only way I could see it is if it was college students with kids and sending them and in the future their kids to college for free.
I totally agree 👍
@@chestnut4860 the fact is that, when the youngsters get an education and a good job, the cycle is broken. Their children will reap the benefit of that. So that part should take care of itself. By sending parents who never got the opportunity, the cycle is “repaired” in that these parents were caught in the cycle and can now not only receive an education, but hopefully influence others, employ others and in turn create a way for others in their own community to break the cycle. Without education, most of us do not stand a chance. The Bill Gates of the world who are simply genius or lucky are few. Education is the key to breaking poverty especially in this day and age
@@chestnut4860 hopefully the idea is to make a good enough living from your college to pay for ur child’s and so on
Respect! There is certainly someone who serves the community in giving out scholarships and makes the world certainly better place. Kind regards from Germany. 🍀🌞🙋♀️
blessings my sister
The Hope initiative is vital to both parents and high school seniors!!
This is how we change the lives of families... bless the ones who give their $$ to such an effort, there will be such wonderful repercussions from this, and many lives enriched.
A drug dealers money. Don’t be nieve.
What a fantastic thing to do for the community he grew up in!!
I was like blah blah blah until I heard "sending parents or guardian back to school for free as well" Then my head immediately popped up, I was like Whaaaaat!😮
Hopefully they take advantage and study hard. It’s a blessing.🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is a wonderful, amazing push forward for so many deserving students and their parents! Praise God for every step, every bit of encouragement and support, every blessing! ❤️
These days going to college is relearning what we should have learned in HS. If these kids don’t have strong support from their parents(s) their chances of success is a lot lower. It may take a couple of generations to work through to those values. Do it for your children and grand children.
It also doesn't help, that so many states ban books (including math) those kids will be very far behind.
@@Dee-jq2ob who's banning books? Specifically math books.
God bless him.This what I would like to do for my community in Ghana with my new foundation. God bless me and make me a blessing
Amen.
I love that! Knowledge = happiness 😊
To everyone watching this video, watch the full 60 minutes video. It's amazing. This man and this organization are going to change not only the lives of these particular young adults, but their families and entire communities.
Dope Scholarship.
I knew some day marihuana will pay for college ! Lol congrats kids !
He is americas’ “Mully”. If you don’t know who that is…..watch the documentary. Totally inspiring God bless him
We can only pray that Omaha and Seattle here these testimonies.
Hi April how're you doing and your family
Beautiful 🙌🏻
This is the best idea ever! Definitely a pay it forward 2 fold. When my daughter saw me go back to college she was under no blinders the work it would take but also inspired her...now the only hard part is paying it back
Amazing!! Do it! Get it done kids and parents.
Only question i have... Is he single? 👀
What a great way to pull theses family’s up and out of poverty. Awesome
I had a 3.6 high school GPA but had to go to community college cause i didnt have access to the internet.
Im now in crippling debt Because the humans that came before me didn't have access to this information or system so it couldn't help me navigate through it.
I'm not trying to blame my parents I just grew up poor so I couldn't afford to go on the Internet and Google search scholarships and grants because I simply didn't have access to it nor did I have anybody around to mentor me.
Im glad theres things being put in place so that everybody doesn't have to suffer the same as the people in the past.
Simply beautiful❣️🙌🏽
Absolutely beautiful thank you sir
That’s a very nice gesture I wish you could come down here to Dallas Fort worth endure the same thing for one of the schools down here specially skyline high school yeah that would be great for the parent and the child give me a free education wow I love it we need more millionaires and billionaires to think like this man pay off a child debt,that’s a good thing
Too many students enrolled at Skyline for a program like this. I could be wrong - but I think they are focused on magnet schools whose enrollment consists of higher caliber students from public high schools. If you are indeed a Skyline student - Then you likely already know not all your classmates are as motivated to continue their educations as you seem to be. I hope you and every one around you that wants to attend college has the ability to do so.
Money is the only barrier to everything.
God bless home I hope they do well and be greatful
God bless you Mr Pete
Did anyone else immediately think of "Scott's Tots"?
Awesome show. 💙💙💙💙
Wishing that this would happen here in Irvine, California for underprivileged in a rich city.
Congratulations 🎉🎊
This is truly wonderful but it makes me sad that there are millions and millions of more other students who don’t get this opportunity and deserve it and are going to have to take out loans and be in debt for the rest of their lives
Great this amazing!
If America would legalize marijuana, the taxes alone would help send all of America's children to college.
Great story...🇿🇦
Why did not the Republican Senate vote recently against 2 year college tuition for students especially at City colleges?
Because Republicans do not value higher education or education in general it’s only for those who can afford it

I'm dumb, how is sending the parents of college age children to school going to help break the cycle of poverty when the cycle has allready "passed by" the parents? The only way I could see it is if it was college students with kids and sending them and in the future their kids to college for free.
Because it's about using education and knowledge to lift an entire family out of poverty. Besides, the parents of high schoolers aren't passed it! Most of these parents still have a long working life left, and time to set up a good career, plan for retirement, and create generational wealth to hand down/pay for the care they may need later in life.
If you only help the child, your chances of breaking the poverty cycle are small. That's because not everyone who goes to college will become a millionaire - many will get a job at a professional level (nurse, doctor, lawyer, etc). They will be raised out of poverty, but only just, so what happens when their parent needs help (nursing care, home adjustments as they age, or just general support because they have nothing)? All the extra the child has accrued will be spent on helping their parent, leaving the child back at square one - back in poverty. Helping two generations grow stronger helps to protect that family against losing everything so easily.
Also, ever heard the phrase "the youth can't be what the youth can't see"? When you're born into poverty, you often don't believe that certain things are possible for you - despite being more than capable (like the parent in the video - she's more than capable of being a real estate agent, education won't give her intelligence, but didn't think she could achieve that goal because she lacked the knowledge and self belief that education provides). When you see that someone from your background - someone like you - can achieve their dreams, it makes yours feel more attainable. Helping a parent succeed helps their other children to succeed, as well as other nephews, nieces, and neighbours who are all watching.
Hope that helps explain it 👍
@Chestnut. The parents of high schoolers also have younger children as well. Perhaps, once the parents graduate from college, they can find better jobs and move to a more safe area. The gangs are rampant in Chicago, just sitting in one's house there are people each year killed by stray bullets.
Is that supposed to be “reparations”? Displaying a few Black faces that are supposed to be getting a “free education”. That lady could very easily have simply went to a real estate school which is waaaay better and faster route to her career goals. SMH 🤦♀️
Stop being a hater…. This man man has done more than you ever will for ANY child of whatever color. He should be commended & his actions encouraged among corporations that give lip service. BTW , I actually have a degree in real estate high corporate finance from USC & it is NOT the same as getting a “real estate license.” There’s nobody in my RE circle who is doing the level of financial transactions WITHOUT a college degree!
Sour grapes is pretty cringe
Sour grapes? You mean yours? I fund 2 orphanages in Uganda in exchange for my wedding gifts, dropped wells in Latin America etc but .....what have you ever done? However, there is only one whom you'll have to answer to; "for I was hungry & you didn't feed Me, I was thirsty & you gave Me no water, I was naked & you didn't clothe Me, sick & you didn't tend to Me, in prison & you didn't visit Me.....depart from Me into everlasting punishment." Matt 41
@@lakitawright6003 was talking to the OP not you
You can have a career but having a career AND an education makes you stand out. It’s not just about being financially stable but also having the brain/knowledge to keep that financial stability.
