You have a huge heart and are full of kindness. You were an earth angel for her….i agree we all need to show kindness and care to one another. Thank you for sharing the story. My love to you and anyone hurting from the loss. ❤😢

    But you know what's beautiful? You made her coffee and a breakfast sandwich on the last day of her life. That was kind. And a kindness she received made her day brighter and she got to recieve some love. It makes a difference. She did not die alone and forgotten.

This is an example of why it is so important to value others and do what you can to support because you never know how much your actions mean to them. Thank you for showing the world how we should be toward one another.

  • @romanroseborough1111

    Without even knowing her situation, your internal compass told you to reach out to her. Your instincts told you someone was in that vehicle and you checked on her and shared a meal with her without any profit motive, gain, or intentions. Just one human connecting with another. She was so grateful for your kindness in sharing a meal with her. You never could have known what she was going through, but your selflessness told you exactly what she needed. This breaks my heart to see, but to know you met her in her final days will leave an imprint on you forever. We never know what going on inside of those we encounter. You showed exactly how to treat people without even knowing. It just happened to be caught on video and I'm very sorry you had to experience this moment. But, who better than a person of your caliber. Praying for you and praying for Brandy and those who knew and loved her. Rest in peace Brandy.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

And that you ended up where you did at the time you did. It’s almost like you were meant to be there. Most people would say it was for her. But it may have been for you. Why, only you and time can answer that. Take care Brother.

I haven’t watched these kind of videos in three years because I couldn’t do it because of my health. she mentioned someone named Mateo and you must be that Mateo. I don’t know why these come up on my stream but I watched a couple. I feel depressed the last few days. I have a house have a little money I’m just disabled and a little lonely. I have a brother and my son that lives with me, my husband died in 2019 right before Covid. I guess we can all feel lonely even when we have people around us.

    Mateo, sometimes we come in contact with a person or people who are here for us in our moment of need. You were that person who came to Brandy in her moment in need. You noticed Brandy and saw Brandy, you treated her with the utmost respect and made Brandy a loving meal because you probably wanted her to feel better, seeing that she was living in a car. A meal you denied yourself, but would probably do many times over to help her. You were raised right and Brandy was very fortunate to have you in her last few days, someone to treat her with respect and love. Don't feel bad, you're a good man. Don't feel bad for knowing Brandy's moved on. Brandy has got all the amenities for life she could ever want now.

I think an angel sent you to her. Such a tragedy she died. And her poor pup. And you left wondering if you could have done more. You couldn’t have. You did more than anyone I know of would have done.

I mention you to my friends a lot because you serve as a great example of what it looks like to live authentically to yourself. I can imagine that this journey is far from easy, from adapting to living in your van 24/7 to the vulnerability that it takes for you to bring total strangers along as you navigate this new way of life. I think you are such a genuine and honorable person and I hope greatness continues to follow you. From the short time that I got to know you, I could tell that you have a good heart and I can only imagine how hearing the news about the lady must've impacted you. But please do not internalize the unfortunate outcome of what occurred. We are all human and continuously figuring things out as we go. You sharing this with all of us allows us to all be more vigilant and mindful to check on others who may not be as materialistically fortunate as us and extend a helping hand when we are capable.

    It’s not often we witness a random act of kindness with complete strangers but hearing you offer a stranger a warm meal and coffee warms my soul. I haven’t even gotten to the half mark and I can guarantee you, I’ll be a long time subscriber of yours and if ever you find hard times please don’t hesitate to call out. I don’t know you but I want you to know, I love you and I pray god places a shield of protection around you during your travels. And if you’re ever in Alabama my family and I would love to buy your dinner and put you up for as long as you like. Save travels my friend❤️

    Hello Mateo! Much love from Texas. You have touched my heart, my sister also died alone in her vehicle and this video touched me so much. I could not stop crying for the lady who passed.
    You are a Mighty Warrior on earth, you showed true compassion to another human being. May You be blessed and all your hearts desires come to pass. Amen 🙏🏾

    Those unselfish acts of kindness you showed Brandy were certainly a comfort to her before she passed. You're a good man, friend. We need more people like you. Take good care of yourself abs Lars. ❤
