Well sadly the kids in America and elsewhere were forced by socialist governors and leaders to stay at home, get vaccinated and couldn't grow their own vegetables because seeds were not allowed to be sold in certain states. Give them an excuse and subsequently allow them to do it and this is what happens. Test scores down and kids missing nearly 2 school years.
God bless you Troy. I grew up in an Orphanage in Saigon from 65 to 69 during the Vietnam war after loosing my whole family. It was a miserable childhood. Currently living and doing well in the the US. i plan to leave all my wealth to help these poor children back in my home country. My son and daughters that I've raised here in the US dont need a dime since I've raised them well. AND DOING VERY WELL in their career paths. It would be awesome to cross paths and meet the legend Troy when I plan to visit in 2023
Actually ive visited before and have several close friends w/ family that will carry out my wishes. There are many Vietnamese that have genuine hearts of gold which make this country so special and dear to my heart.
It's always someone else's fault they are not in school. It's obvious they never will be.......that scooter never left Saigon when you bought it. ( For those who may not know, the mother told Troy she had sent the scooter to the little girl's twin sister, at their home town, when he next saw them.) It was sold the minute your back was turned. I guess that sounds hateful and negative, but it's the reality of a poor person in a poor nation. I so wanted that little girl to have some fun in her life. I remember how thrilled she was to get it.
100% I think he knows they played him even the little girls are faking tears for money its how it works. Eat or not eat, if you can make more Do. You have to admire the Grift sometimes. lol not lol
I can't seem to find the one where he actually bought it, but the video above is the mother telling him the little girl has a twin sister at home and she sent the scooter he bought to her, and they lived in a rural area. I'm not sure where.....
Kids only grow up with the example that adults are showing. On this buy buy buy world of the west where the adults want bigger and better, how can children expect things any other way?
Great work, Troy; glad to see you're keeping this up still been following you for a while. Seeing those tears from someone so young just destroys my heart. Children should not suffer on the street like this.
"Why don't you go to busier places?" "I already walked a lot of places it's tiring." I'm dead 😭😭😭😭 She just wants to be alone with her own thoughts sometimes like any child that age.
Seeing this little girl cry over her failed day breaks my heart. Then Troy comes and saves the day ❤️. That's awesome. You know these kids will always remember you for that. But I also like the fact you didn't throw money at them. Because they shouldn't expect money from you every time your around either. Then they become dependent on donations. Almost like it's exspected.
Thank you, Troy, for helping out that little girl by purchasing her remaining tickets. These kids are so vulnerable, but have no recourse at this young age. It’s a miserable existence. Thank you for lifting her spirits.
I hear what you're saying Troy. On one hand it was great to help the girl by buying her last 15 tickets. But on the other hand, what if her mom starts giving her more tickets to sell now since she sold all of hers on that day? Could be more beatings coming. But you did the same thing that I would have done. Keep up the great work Troy!
Society is so fickle, that it's even hard to truly see if the action brings positive or negative outcomes. Not saying not to give, but I had exactly the same thoughts as you. If you give the money, and then parents see that, and start threatening kids even more, because they know it will bring in more money if they go out there scared and crying. And after some time, expectations could become unrealistic, fear in child growing more, and punishment from the parents being harsher as they got used to more money. But what else can you do? Not giving doesn't exactly seem like a choice either; as this might be what tips the scale for the positive for the child, like being able to afford housing/food and sending the child to school.
Wow. This reminds me of one of your earlier vids from eons ago. A girl on the side of the road crying because she was stuck with unsellable tickets and was scared of being hit. This definitely sucks. Beating your kids because they're failing to do something they really shouldn't be doing in the first place, that you make them do, is horrible.
I also remember that video. It is heartbreaking to see a kid crying because they know what awaits them at home. We can’t fix this system, but Troy brought her some relief for today!

I can't help but help them. But once someone sees you help one the rest will come and beg you. There's only so much you can give you know what I mean? I'm not rich. It's soooo sad

Those tears worked on you. Sweet little girl and tears. Mom and das know this and put her out there. Too sad. She should be out there playing and living her life.
Everyone stop thinking about what thing you want to buy next for yourself and help a person in need instead. At least try to do this a few times. You will be amazed when you notice the greatest gift you can give yourself is when you help out another person.
Children need to be loved and taken care of by their parents. Her mother is doing so much psychological harm to her daughter. Children are supposed to be provided for by their parents and not have to provide for their parents. Parents like her mother shouldn't have children. Praying that she will grow up with lots of success and to know what love is. Seeing her crying is so heartbreaking and I just hope that she can sell the tickets so that she won't have to be scared of getting beat when she goes home. She needs to be very careful with the money so that she doesn't get robbed. Why do people have to be so evil especially towards children?
That broke my heart. The family needs help so those little ones can go to school. Young girls turn to prostitution when they can't feed or house themselves.
Poor kid. A sad sight. Children shouldn't have to be on the streets like that. Unfortunately children like her are all over this screwed up world. What a world. And the government doesn't give a flip about them. Sad.
Wow...poor little girls, It's sad to see how their own parents exploit them without care for their welfare. God bless the poor and those who help them.
My heart is melting im so thankful to God i was blessed . To Live a normal life i am not rich i dont have much but at least i can eat what ever i want whenever i want. From now on i will do better make every count of my life meaningful. Saving making one soul happy at a time whenever i can ill pray for this girl my she find and all other children like her around the world a refuge of happiness and contentment. Good health as always too amen
I was born in a poor family. As a child, I have a loving parents protect me so that I did not feel I was lack of anything. But I remember my mom could not even buy me a bowl of pho. I grow up in US but still have few memories of those time so I understand and sympathize families in that situation. I do a lot of charity, at least more charity than average person. I learned that most families in poverty typically make a lot of babies, like 8 kids. Not sure lack of birth control or lack of education in such topic. Those kids work to help support the family. But generally speaking, educated parents tend to have very small family. I also see parents at their 70s and 80s pick recycle to survive. Kid grow up, get married and say their goodbyes. It is a heartbreaking. One positive is Vietnamese culture do a lot more charity to help the poor than most. They donate food, cloths, money, and sometimes build homes for the lucky poor family. During COVID lockdown, some landlords give tenants free rents or 50% rent for 2-3 months. In US, government have to pass law to make landlords unable to convicts tenant. I have never heard landlord give free rents in US. As a landlords myself, I understand that side too. Landlords in US are individual person who have mortgage to pay. Landlords in Vietnam might be fully own their properties.
So sad seeing such a young precious young kid live like this. Love to pay her father & mother a visit & educate them on how to treat kids. Absolutely disgusting to hit your kids in this matter for not selling tickets.
My. How arrogant you are. I am sure there is nothing you could tell these parents about raising kids. The child testified that both her parents were working. Her twin is happy and cheerful, and both look well clothed and nourished. I am sure they are doing their best by their kids in conditions that most of us would not know where to start. Perhaps you should ask Troy to arrange for you to sponsor that family on a regular basis. A very little each month can revolutionize a family's life by removing the need for the kids to work and funding school fees. That would bring something very positive from this fortuitous reunion..
@@markturner4219 mate.ill l educate & bless you with knowledge. Ive been to Vietnam plenty of times. I know how it works. Ive helped plenty of homeless people. Im a serverr thats my natural gifting. "she was crying because she gets beaten regularly for not selling the tickets" watch the video again loose lips" 💋 Would you hit your kids ? beat them for not selling tickets ? Plus they don't go to school. They are not doing fine. Watch video again. Have you been to Vietnam? Ive dated a Vietnamese girl.i know the culture very well.
@@markturner4219 you make some valid points with your comment. If it could be arranged, I would be willing to make a monthly donation to help this family even though I think the mom is sketchy. I doubt that much of the money would trickle down to the kids. We would need some way to verify that life was improving for the kids!
@@thebalmaintigers your arrogance continues to speak volumes. Suggest you read my post again. Nowhere did I say they were doing fine. Being in a country for years with the attitude demonstrated by your posts will teach you nothing, it will just reinforce your preconceived prejudices. BTW. I am fully cogniscent of the content of the video. Having been in various forms of child and adult protection work for over 40 years, in a wide variety of countries and cultures I can guarantee that situations are never as simple as the arrogance in your post implies, and that people with the attitude demonstrated in your posts achieve nowhere near what they may think they are achieving. They primarily suceed in simply massaging their already over inflated egos.
Thanks for helping the kids, Troy. Every time I went to Vietnam, I always bought vé số or lottery tickets and asked them signed behind the tickets, then I gave back to them with hoping that they will win. They looked at me and surprised then thanks me.
@@Bear4196 Absolutely. I went to and loved north and central Vietnam (Vinh area and the mountains next to Laos). Maybe I will visit Saigon next time too. I consider myself very lucky to have gone just at the tail end of Covid before there were many tourists. I also visited Sumatra to live in the rainforest and see Orangutan on the same trip. 3 weeks Sumatra, 3 weeks Vietnam. Trip of a lifetime. If you are going to fly to the other side of the planet I definitely recommend a long trip like this and not just a week or two if possible.
Thank you brother for helping out my people. Bring tears to my eyes see these little girls have to endure hardship such early ages. God bless you my friend
You asked her if she will be beaten, she answered yes, with tears in her eyes.. and you laughed??? The poor child. I do love that you helped her, thank you for doing that. it breaks my heart to see a child in this situation. I don't understand the world! No child should ever be forced to do this. Afraid to go home knowing they will be hit.
I feel like that was nervous laughing. Maybe I'm wrong, but I do a nervous giggle in sad or uncomfortable situations myself. I don't mean to, I guess it's just a way of coping
He clearly was making a nervous/anxious laugh that's why it was followed up with a really? He wanted to know if she was being serious about it or making a joke out of it like yea they will beat me if I don't do what I am supposed to sell lol just kidding. Once he saw she was serious and was crying because she had 15 tickets or whatever left and the sister came and verified yea if they have more then 10 mom will punish them then he bought the rest of her tickets. He definitely wasn't laughing at the situation I think it was pretty clear to see in the video how upsetting that was for him to hear especially at the end when he was talking about the North compared to the South and how messed up the South was because you would not see that type of behavior in the North. The poverty in the South obviously is much harsher and the parents don't do what they are supposed to be doing for their children to succeed and lift them out of that life, it's sad to see kids growing up in extreme poverty with parents that are more interested in using them as meal tickets then doing whatever they have to do in order to give them a chance at a good future.
I came to Vietnam for 12 months 51 years ago. I have lived here full time for the past 20 years. I see kids like these all the time. I've seen kids brutalized by their mothers for not selling enough tickets but the girls I feel the most sorry for are the massage girls. So many are sent from the Mekong to work in massage parlors to support their families. They grow old very quickly.
Great to see the kids growing up I was confused because I remember she had a twin and when she said that was her younger sister but the mum explained it they do look different age
It's so sad these bright kids don't get schooled to exit the poverty cycle. Thanks Troy for doing everything you can. The bat signal isn't exaggerated really with you.
Hello, can we have an update on Chau Anh? Also what's up with the Lady that was supposed to get a new kidney? Some people are getting angry because they say they donated a lot of money and they don't know where it went. Could you please elaborate Troy?
People who enslave their children, then physically abuse them if they don't come through should be imprisoned. That's not being a parent. Good on you for saving these girls from their own parents, which sickens me.
Wow!!!! So sad to see the hardship that these little girls have to endure…I can’t see the mother getting them into school,She is using them for her own gain
You are my hero. I always help out kids and homeless people when I'm traveling the world. Thank you so much for what you do. You are a great person. That kid will remember your compassion her entire life.
That breaks me so hard poor kids they shouldn't be doing this at all but I understand not every one has a easy life I wish they future blessings and a lot of money God bless them
Oh my god my heart breaks. I live in Thailand with it share of poverty & heartbreak which I try basically to aid. The West have not even the slightest idea how fortunate they are. Most people in the world don't even have the basic of necessities. You are a good man
The majority of people throughout history who existed in The West lived in unimaginable poverty, grueling and dangerous conditions during their working day and threat of persecution from their masters. If Europeans forgot their own history, it's easy to see we'll all be back in that situation soon..
@@VooDooMaGicMan81 Well I fear current generations are unaware of such history. For a simple example I saw a news report asking a citizen about the looming financial crises and the interviewee was speaking of the financial distress they faced whilst holding their morning $9 Starbucks coffee, and I think - YOU ARE IN FOR A SHOCK!
It's not just the massive money you give them, it's not just the beautiful compliments you dole out, it's not just the funny jokes you make smiles with, it's not just the caring and attention that manufactures warmth, what's the most important thing is you SPREAD HOPE ALL OVER THE WORLD!! Thank you Troy !!
We support a local school that is struggling. We had a little boy that used to sell tickets at our cafe in Saigon. We offered to buy all his tickets regularly so that my wife (teacher) could spend time helping his education but he wasn't interested. My concern is the predators that try and exploit these kids in their vulnerable state.
Cute kids and your very cool for your generous gesture. I haven't been back to Saigon since 2016 I miss it. Met my wife there in late 2014 got married at the Saigon Palace in 2016. I did see a lot of people out in the street selling those lottery tickets especially district 1.Some kids but not as widespread as you say. Then again I really wasn't looking for it.
I'm confused - these 2 little girls are still in a very difficult situation so how did he help them? Unless they are taken out of this cruel dynamic how did he help? They need education and a real family to help them.
Mad Love From Australia As Usual. So Sad Watching Those Emotional Triggers In The Kids. Whooooh Like 😅 Phew,🥺 I Wish I Was Doing Your Job Right Now, Believe It Or Not. You Are Sooo Good At This. Never Neglect Your Work For Another’s, Your Work Is To Find Your Work, And Then With All Your Heart Give Yourself To It. Yep. Safe Journey. 👍🙏👍🙏👍🙏👍
So sad. That poor sweet girl looked so defeated. Knowing she has to go home and wait a beating. What a horrible, stressful situation that no child should ever face. I just want to scoop her up and save her! Sadly, there are thousands in the same situation. So great of you to help where you can.
It brakes my heart for those sweet innocent children.... Why is no one protecting them??? Hitting them because she can't sell tickets!!! The parents should get in trouble... I wish I could take them 😭 It's so heartbreaking

Saving making one soul happy at a time whenever i can ill pray for this girl my she find and all other children like her around the world a refuge of happiness and contentment. Good health as always too amen
I was born in a poor family. As a child, I have a loving parents protect me so that I did not feel I was lack of anything. But I remember my mom could not even buy me a bowl of pho. I grow up in US but still have few memories of those time so I understand and sympathize families in that situation. I do a lot of charity, at least more charity than average person. I learned that most families in poverty typically make a lot of babies, like 8 kids. Not sure lack of birth control or lack of education in such topic. Those kids work to help support the family. But generally speaking, educated parents tend to have very small family. I also see parents at their 70s and 80s pick recycle to survive. Kid grow up, get married and say their goodbyes. It is a heartbreaking.
One positive is Vietnamese culture do a lot more charity to help the poor than most. They donate food, cloths, money, and sometimes build homes for the lucky poor family. During COVID lockdown, some landlords give tenants free rents or 50% rent for 2-3 months. In US, government have to pass law to make landlords unable to convicts tenant. I have never heard landlord give free rents in US. As a landlords myself, I understand that side too. Landlords in US are individual person who have mortgage to pay. Landlords in Vietnam might be fully own their properties.
So sad seeing such a young precious young kid live like this. Love to pay her father & mother a visit & educate them on how to treat kids. Absolutely disgusting to hit your kids in this matter for not selling tickets.
My. How arrogant you are.
I am sure there is nothing you could tell these parents about raising kids.
The child testified that both her parents were working.
Her twin is happy and cheerful, and both look well clothed and nourished.
I am sure they are doing their best by their kids in conditions that most of us would not know where to start.
Perhaps you should ask Troy to arrange for you to sponsor that family on a regular basis.
A very little each month can revolutionize a family's life by removing the need for the kids to work and funding school fees.
That would bring something very positive from this fortuitous reunion..
@@markturner4219 mate.ill l educate & bless you with knowledge. Ive been to Vietnam plenty of times. I know how it works. Ive helped plenty of homeless people. Im a serverr thats my natural gifting. "she was crying because she gets beaten regularly for not selling the tickets" watch the video again loose lips" 💋 Would you hit your kids ? beat them for not selling tickets ? Plus they don't go to school. They are not doing fine. Watch video again. Have you been to Vietnam? Ive dated a Vietnamese girl.i know the culture very well.
@@markturner4219 you make some valid points with your comment. If it could be arranged, I would be willing to make a monthly donation to help this family even though I think the mom is sketchy. I doubt that much of the money would trickle down to the kids. We would need some way to verify that life was improving for the kids!
@@thebalmaintigers your arrogance continues to speak volumes.
Suggest you read my post again. Nowhere did I say they were doing fine.
Being in a country for years with the attitude demonstrated by your posts will teach you nothing, it will just reinforce your preconceived prejudices.
BTW. I am fully cogniscent of the content of the video.
Having been in various forms of child and adult protection work for over 40 years, in a wide variety of countries and cultures I can guarantee that situations are never as simple as the arrogance in your post implies, and that people with the attitude demonstrated in your posts achieve nowhere near what they may think they are achieving.
They primarily suceed in simply massaging their already over inflated egos.
troy saving kids since 2013
Thanks for helping the kids, Troy. Every time I went to Vietnam, I always bought vé số or lottery tickets and asked them signed behind the tickets, then I gave back to them with hoping that they will win. They looked at me and surprised then thanks me.
Thanks for idea. I'll do next time as i always discard them or forget about it
Bless You! Makes me cry. The poor little ones. So many all over the world.
what a good deed you did Troy, well done mate.
These are the types of channels that deserve the millions of subs
yeah! but charity channels never get a lot of views
Nice to hear the tourists are back in town. When I visited in early July it was still very few.
Do you ever plan on going back?
@@Bear4196 Absolutely. I went to and loved north and central Vietnam (Vinh area and the mountains next to Laos). Maybe I will visit Saigon next time too. I consider myself very lucky to have gone just at the tail end of Covid before there were many tourists.
I also visited Sumatra to live in the rainforest and see Orangutan on the same trip. 3 weeks Sumatra, 3 weeks Vietnam. Trip of a lifetime. If you are going to fly to the other side of the planet I definitely recommend a long trip like this and not just a week or two if possible.
@@monkeytime9851 Sounds fabulous!! Hopefully next time you will meet up with Troy and go on an adventure. Sumatra would be on my list, too.
Thank you brother for helping out my people. Bring tears to my eyes see these little girls have to endure hardship such early ages. God bless you my friend
Thanks! Mike Lloyd said match donation so here it is, God bless Troy
Thank you Juan! 🙏
Sad seeing these children struggling with their daily lives.
You asked her if she will be beaten, she answered yes, with tears in her eyes.. and you laughed??? The poor child.
I do love that you helped her, thank you for doing that. it breaks my heart to see a child in this situation. I don't understand the world! No child should ever be forced to do this. Afraid to go home knowing they will be hit.
I feel like that was nervous laughing. Maybe I'm wrong, but I do a nervous giggle in sad or uncomfortable situations myself. I don't mean to, I guess it's just a way of coping
He clearly was making a nervous/anxious laugh that's why it was followed up with a really? He wanted to know if she was being serious about it or making a joke out of it like yea they will beat me if I don't do what I am supposed to sell lol just kidding. Once he saw she was serious and was crying because she had 15 tickets or whatever left and the sister came and verified yea if they have more then 10 mom will punish them then he bought the rest of her tickets. He definitely wasn't laughing at the situation I think it was pretty clear to see in the video how upsetting that was for him to hear especially at the end when he was talking about the North compared to the South and how messed up the South was because you would not see that type of behavior in the North. The poverty in the South obviously is much harsher and the parents don't do what they are supposed to be doing for their children to succeed and lift them out of that life, it's sad to see kids growing up in extreme poverty with parents that are more interested in using them as meal tickets then doing whatever they have to do in order to give them a chance at a good future.
Thank you thahitman2 👍
Troy is the best, very inspiring ❤️
Thank you Troy🇻🇳🙏
Oh no. Troy went MIA again
Lol The usual for him, he will come back with a great excuse!!
I came to Vietnam for 12 months 51 years ago. I have lived here full time for the past 20 years. I see kids like these all the time. I've seen kids brutalized by their mothers for not selling enough tickets but the girls I feel the most sorry for are the massage girls. So many are sent from the Mekong to work in massage parlors to support their families. They grow old very quickly.
A result of communist dictator
With all the economic growth and development in Vietnam it breaks my to see these children missing out and living like this!
Growth my ass
Cam on anh..love these video ...feeling sad these kids
Little Ut Nho! She has really gotten tall since we seen her last.
Great to see the kids growing up I was confused because I remember she had a twin and when she said that was her younger sister but the mum explained it they do look different age
Troy where are u? No more videos? What's going on?
It's so sad these bright kids don't get schooled to exit the poverty cycle. Thanks Troy for doing everything you can. The bat signal isn't exaggerated really with you.
Hello, can we have an update on Chau Anh? Also what's up with the Lady that was supposed to get a new kidney?
Some people are getting angry because they say they donated a lot of money and they don't know where it went.
Could you please elaborate Troy?
He will be back before 3 months or his channel will be demonetized he has done this 4 times now!!!
I guess i was right, but for how long! lol
@@toddsterling4949 I thought about your comment. 👍
Awesome video Troy… you came to the rescue like you always do and saved another child in need😍👍😊
People who enslave their children, then physically abuse them if they don't come through should be imprisoned. That's not being a parent.
Good on you for saving these girls from their own parents, which sickens me.
It's like H. C. Andersen : The Little Match Girl 😱😱
This is the real Troy !!!!!
Thanks!
Thank you JOHN! 🙏
So sad Troy...
You are a good man.
Wow!!!! So sad to see the hardship that these little girls have to endure…I can’t see the mother getting them into school,She is using them for her own gain
You are my hero. I always help out kids and homeless people when I'm traveling the world. Thank you so much for what you do. You are a great person. That kid will remember your compassion her entire life.
Aww poor baby girl. I'll adopt her is she has no one. Great job troy!!
Thanks for helping the kids. Unfair that the parents put pressure on there kids. 😡😡
Great work you are doing keep it up. Will help agian soon All the best 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
That breaks me so hard poor kids they shouldn't be doing this at all but I understand not every one has a easy life I wish they future blessings and a lot of money God bless them
my heart breaks when I see these kids. While the kids in America are so spoiled
They will dearly remember you when they grow up.
Oh my god my heart breaks. I live in Thailand with it share of poverty & heartbreak which I try basically to aid. The West have not even the slightest idea how fortunate they are. Most people in the world don't even have the basic of necessities. You are a good man
The majority of people throughout history who existed in The West lived in unimaginable poverty, grueling and dangerous conditions during their working day and threat of persecution from their masters.
If Europeans forgot their own history, it's easy to see we'll all be back in that situation soon..
@@VooDooMaGicMan81 Well I fear current generations are unaware of such history. For a simple example I saw a news report asking a citizen about the looming financial crises and the interviewee was speaking of the financial distress they faced whilst holding their morning $9 Starbucks coffee, and I think - YOU ARE IN FOR A SHOCK!
It's not just the massive money you give them, it's not just the beautiful compliments you dole out, it's not just the funny jokes you make smiles with, it's not just the caring and attention that manufactures warmth, what's the most important thing is you SPREAD HOPE ALL OVER THE WORLD!! Thank you Troy !!
❤
God's bless these children ❤️
I feel so sorry for these girls, but you the bestguy helped them save their worry some. you very kind! may God bless you.
We support a local school that is struggling. We had a little boy that used to sell tickets at our cafe in Saigon. We offered to buy all his tickets regularly so that my wife (teacher) could spend time helping his education but he wasn't interested. My concern is the predators that try and exploit these kids in their vulnerable state.
Cute kids and your very cool for your generous gesture. I haven't been back to Saigon since 2016 I miss it. Met my wife there in late 2014 got married at the Saigon Palace in 2016. I did see a lot of people out in the street selling those lottery tickets especially district 1.Some kids but not as widespread as you say. Then again I really wasn't looking for it.
Wow I remember Uht no. I donated to her quite awhile ago. Hehe. Good to see she's ok. Thanks for helping her sister Troy.
Thank you Troy for helping the kids. I feel so sad watching this and I hope someday I have the opportunity to help Vietnamese working people.
Thank you brother. May God bless you sir.
Troy thank you for stopping and extending help to the young lady.
I'm confused - these 2 little girls are still in a very difficult situation so how did he help them? Unless they are taken out of this cruel dynamic how did he help? They need education and a real family to help them.
Thanks
Any of those kids ever get robbed? By themselves with lots of cash, would be tempting to some people, maybe not in Vietnam though.
That poor little girl, bless her heart.
Hi my friend Troy how are you x loving the videos x your Scottish fan 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Poor thing
Thank you Troy for helping the children and other people who needs help🤗God bless you!
Mad Love From Australia As Usual.
So Sad Watching Those Emotional Triggers In The Kids.
Whooooh
Like 😅 Phew,🥺
I Wish I Was Doing Your Job Right Now, Believe It Or Not.
You Are Sooo Good At This.
Never Neglect Your Work For Another’s, Your Work Is To Find Your Work, And Then With All Your Heart Give Yourself To It.
Yep.
Safe Journey.
👍🙏👍🙏👍🙏👍
Thank you Steven 😊
god bless these kids. how can you hit these beautiful children.
That's sad... Troy should tell her to go to a more busy area to sell...
Or was she just hiding here because she knew it was to late?
So sad. That poor sweet girl looked so defeated. Knowing she has to go home and wait a beating. What a horrible, stressful situation that no child should ever face. I just want to scoop her up and save her! Sadly, there are thousands in the same situation. So great of you to help where you can.
It brakes my heart for those sweet innocent children....
Why is no one protecting them??? Hitting them because she can't sell tickets!!! The parents should get in trouble... I wish I could take them 😭
It's so heartbreaking
I felt so bad seeing that little girl sitting there crying bless you man, bless you for helping her out you are a good person.
