My mother works as a doctor full time and saves people's lives everyday.
She has three children including me all under the age of 16. She has an unstable relationship with my father but cannot afford anything else. We are wallowing in debt. But I am so, so grateful. I have my very own tablet, a roof over my head and I go to school. We also have a Christmas tree. Imagine being on the streets with no family or money. Scavenging for food and suffering in the cold.
We take so many things for granted. You have a roof over your head, clean water, a loving family and an education. PLEASE be grateful everyone. Say a prayer for those less fortunate, or just take the time to look over all your things and be grateful. You don't need a TV. You don't need wifi. You don't need electronics. But you have them. So be grateful for what you have.
Why dont you be so grateful and buy a homeless person lunch, cause your prayer will never ever helps them nor your invincible God.
+Ankaboot Screw off.
Bro , I live in India , If you need any job in India , i can get you that , Hope that helps you grow well and make you able to take care of so many homeless ppl.
You have a beautiful heart
Thanks a ton dear.......
It blows my mind how there are people angry about this. This is more than just high quality food, it is being shown respect and experiencing the finer things in life. They even mention in the beginning of the video that homeless people are treated like shit. That people just assume that the homeless got involved in drugs or that they are just too lazy to keep a job. They are reminded of this on the daily, and to have someone give you a luxury dinner is a huge "people do care and 'homeles' doesn't define you, you are a human being and should be treated as such". This shelter, clearly, already provides a roof, beds, and nice clothes to give them a boost in life, why not give them a night of feeling royal? I swear most of the people insulting MedicoreFilms and Prank FWD didn't even watch it to the end. THEY GAVE THE SHELTER $5,000!!!! Not to mention, I have seen the food they serve in shelter(generally speaking), do any of you realize how amazing this would be? And to the people who say "they don't give a shit what they get as long as it is food", oh yeah that is a good excuse to not give them fresh fruits, vegetables and meat. YEP! Just keep giving them boxed mashed potatoes, biscuits and pink slime chicken nuggets. These aren't dogs, everyone gets tired of eating the same things over and over. I would hate to eat my old high school's cafeteria food for breakfast, lunch and dinner EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
OH! And not ONLY did they donate the $5000 but they also gave bags of necessities.
Yes, but I have a home, food, bed, clothes, family, friends, but I lack a job so I deserve more!
-sarcasm of the comments I've seen-
Drew Dean
its sad that there is always a person or persons that have negative things to say!! I think that meal was something they may have never experienced and had a great time!! good job to those who made it possible!!
Sean durkin
... maybe they are terrible people but i dont think murdering them is worth it, just torturing them would be ok
Drew Dean nothing is what it seems. I know this program. The generosity of volunteers is precious and amazing, but...if the walls could talk!
I feel so happy for that old lady that said "is that filet mingon? I've never had it" because it just shows, she's probably 60-80 and she's never had it, and everyone deserves that privilege.
+PandaBroFilms Wholeheartedly Agreed. It is delicious.
Admissful you got a good heart.
I am glad she had a novel and enjoyable experience but saddened that it had to do with the death of another being. I hope we can all wake up.
And....cue the offended transgender vegan! Hahaaaa, sorry couldn't help myself. Meat IS bad. 👍
@@NicoleStLouis-is2hc
I love vegans, that means more meat for me.
As soon as that little old lady said "was that filet mignon? I've never had it before" I started crying my eyes out
X
That woman who never had steak before, got me right in the feels.
I cried when that sweet lady said "we never get steak"
Ikr! I couldn't imagine not having steak ;(
Dev D According to UNPC report that every average Indian man eats 17 chapathies per day and shits over 2.4 Kg's per day. Is it my Indian gay boy?
It really concerns me when people hate on videos like this. The fact someone can't do a good act without someone throwing a fit shows how low society really is. How is it cruel for them to enjoy themselves for one night? Are you saying they don't have the right to a good meal, cause that's what it sounds like. Food shelters usually provide low quality food with enough nutrition to keep one alive. Excuse them for giving them a chance to enjoy a high nutritional meal. Shame on them for caring! What the hell is wrong with you people!? I'd start reevaluating yourself if this upsets you.
In almost every comment I read here everyone says these people are not homeless they are too clean, too well dressed, have nice things etc.
There is no "face" to homelessness anyone can be homeless. You don't need to have dirty clothes, dirt and stubble on your face to be considered homeless. Come on this is ridiculous.
When I was homeless I didn't "look" homeless. That is because there is no such thing.
I have slept on park benches, in abandoned homes, in homeless shelters, in tunnels, under tarps I found near construction sites. But yet never "looked" homeless. These comments are ridiculous and you wouldn't know what the hell you are talking about unless you have been homeless yourself. If you haven't walked in the shoes of a homeless person then shut the hell up with your negative comments. Why don't you use your mouth and the internet for something positive for once.
I agree. I'm very lucky to have a house, and I see good videos like this yet people complain. It makes me sad to know people are still complaining about things like this.
The bullshit people have in their heads these days. Its like theyre looking to find something bad and they always look at good things to find them. Of course a homeless person can look nice. And of course a rich person can look homeless. If i was a homeless person I would feel sorry if my clothes were torn and dirty. Its like how a fat person feels in tight clothes. There other things than food people need. We are not animals that run after prey and then sleep until we are hungry again. We need shelter, hygene, respect, sociality. BUT then again i feel like all my breath is being wasted cause these dumbfucks im talking about dont really think before they speak.
They have no imagination and no empathy.
Mehmat Alican I'm rich and (almost) look like homeless... People don't treat rich people the same way as 'themselves' so I disguise it to get a normal reaction. I'm not born rich, and I can't stand most of the 'born rich' people. Lots of them think they are better in one way or another.
Sarah Clark The funny thing is that the start of this video is talking about how people can be too judgmental.... and yet here are all the judgemental people commenting.
Greg, I'm 23 and "grown up", but when I grow up, I want to be like you. You're one of the good guys.
This is really the only "feeding the homeless" video I approve of. I know Greg is a man with good intentions and a warm heart. Unlike all the other spoiled RUclipsrs who use these types of videos strictly for the views/money by simply exploiting the homeless.
That's complete and utter bullshit.
Even if youtubers earn more than they have to give out, that doesn't mean the homeless will gain any LESS from it. Would you think they rather have nothing and that the youtuber makes nothing himself, or that a lot of homeless people gain something, yet the giver can have something aswell.
My point is that the homeless are being expolited. Does not matter that if both parties benefit. What matters is that the homeless are being used as a tool in gaining views amongst other youtubers.
some1intheworld thats stupid as fuck and sounds seriously ignorant. Maybe you'll understand the things that really matter in life one day.
some1intheworld So your point is that people shouldn't be feeding the homeless if they get ad revenue in return, and instead should just be sitting here whining and doing nothing, like yourself?
stickrai Please. Explain yourself. Seems like you're the only ignorant fool here.
i was like awww..... *lady comes on talking about filet mignon*
WHOS CUTTING ONIONS AT 530 IN THE MORNING
+ElfVipKISSMEShawol I agree. When she said that she never had filet mignon before, I literally cried.
Me too I wish everyone had house in whole world
+Tariq Rasool I dont because not everyone will take care of it. Some people have apartments and never clean or wash dishes. Sme let their kids destroy the place and dont discipline them or train them. Everyone deserves safe shelter to live in, but realistically not everyone needs a house.
+Theresa Taylor everyone deserves a house, we are all equal and we have to show that!😇
Mohammed Harthi No everyone does not because not all will appreciate it or take care of it. However, like I said, everyone deserves safe and sanitary shelter.
"We're not different, we're human." My son made me proud last week by saying he wants to do a bake sale for Centre 33 in our home town. It serves a hot meal twice a day to people who don't have a home.
your son will grow up becoming a great human being.
you should be proud of yourself too.
I don't know why this is making me cry... everyone just wants to be treated like a human being.
Bless you for doing this.
Thanks for sharing this video to raise $$$ for charity!!!

You are an amazing person!
I hate these feel good films go back to doing what you do best.... being all creepy and making people feel awkward
Ryan Gowran Hope you get homeless
Dude... your'e just awesome...
Anthony Oomen And why is that ?
I'm not generally a fan of "pranking," but this made me smile. More of this, please.
Stupid dust in my eyes....
So weird... I got dust too... Can't get it out.. :)
Cristi Neagu It's those darn onion-cutting ninjas terrorizing the internet again.
***** That's my story and I'm sticking with it!
You too?
Cristi Neagu With ya there!
Great job, Greg! It was cool working with you too.
Tough to see that there are kids in that situation. These kinds of videos are always a good reminder of how good most of us have it.
Just go and help out. Any little thing to make things better helps. I don't have much and live in poverty, but I take time to help those who have even less. On Saturday I had someone give me a bunch of balloons for an event I worked at, and what do I care about balloons, so I took them down to the shelter and gave them to this 4 yr. old girl and her mom and it made their day. Everything matters.
The people hating here are the reason why this world is going down the drain.
They live in this bubble of "Wow, so you helped these 20 people while x others still hunger! Shame on you!"
They live in the idea, that if you can't help all, then you should help no one. A single life isn't worth shit to them, unless you somehow help the whole world (and in best case: THEM) with it.
But hey, then again, a lot of people here seem to believe that there is just one way of how a homeless person can look like, so no surprise (wonder, if they also believe that drug addicts or unemployed only have THAT one look...)
Well said
Kai Mango you literately said it perfectly, a person can only help so many, its up to all of us to reach out and help instead of judging
Love your comment. 😊👍
My three year old and I handed out care packages to the homeless that included snacks, drinks, warm gloves/scarves and inspirational cards we made. We would love for you to see our video of the wonderful experience and hopefully inspire you to do something like this!
We're a Cool Fam We need more people like you
Good idea, not sure about filming it
Thank you, and may the Good Lord above bless you for all you do, to help the homeless.......I've been in that situation for over 30 years, not by choice.....and never had anything like that happen to myself.
Oh man, this brought tears to my eyes. Good work!!
Just about teared up. Wonderful video Greg!
People who disliked this video has no soul and you should think how lucky you are just to have an electronic my name is jake and I am 11 years old
Stop it
people who disliked this video are republicans
Indeed they are lucky to have an electronic device, but that is irrelevant to the topic of disliking. It's wrong to use a function on it just because others can't?
Also people who dislike do have souls. Dislikes are an expression of opinion yet a lot of times it isn't used just for that. One might have disliked because they are empathetic and do not like seeing the despair of others which they in turn express this with a video dislike.
Some might not like the shift in content from what Mediocre Films usually does.
Some people just might hate this channel in general and try to destroy it's reputation with dislikes, but it's fairly ineffective. Any rating helps a channel improve.
Basically I just want you to realize that on the internet people have their own opinions. Do you see that Christine Dickson? So next time try to avoid chastising them and using insults.
Right.
People that disliked this, like PETA.
Thumbs up if you are on a genorosity video binge just like me
+sakecity7 hahaahahhaha YESSS
Yyyesss
+sakecity7 I love em lol :-)
+sakecity7 im definitely binge watching every prank it fwd video right now
WILD THINGS after all the air rage vids I needed some good vibes lol
This is definitely the best one from prank it forward.
I concur! 100%
I concur! 100%
Greg, this was amazing.
Thanks Dane, made me cry in a good way.
Thanks, friendly friend!
Andrejka C. I second that..
DANE!!!
To who ever is reading this
You are the best in the whole world
And God bless you
Bless you❤
then tell me how the solar system came from
and where did the big bang come from?
*****
Who cares? It was just a nice thing to say.
***** We have models for the origin of the solar system involving clouds of matter and gravitational accretion. As for the big bang, the difference between the existence of a god and the event of the big bang is that we have physical evidence for it having happened - conversely with god, we have no evidence for a god's existence whatsoever.
Ali Johnston you are typing comment while 2nd most intelligent animal is walking naked and eating shit
This is amazing, I was homeless once for the best part of a year in England. There was nothing like this to offer and I was refused help, a roof over my head, and food. I was only 18. This is so inspiring. Good work.
It's so easy to end up on the street, it really is. Bless you.
I can't even begin to explain how much stuff like this means to me, and how much it makes me wish I could do this everyday for people. I remember when I was a young kid, and while I had a 'house', my family didn't have food all the time, but there were always those few kind souls that would give to us out of the kindness of their hearts. There's just this pure simple surprise I see in these people, that I've felt so dearly before, and it's more then most could understand. You're wonderful people, don't stop.
"Its not what you've got, its what you give.
Its not the life you choose, its the life you live."
what an emotional video. you are THE man Greg! keep on rocking. we love you! :')
How can people dislike this video it shows there are good people out there
Beautiful video Greg! Well done :)
I agree
This is why mediocrefilms will always be the #1 prank channel for me. Nothing else touches it.
I finally have more faith in humanity, I'm sick of people just saying "The gov't will take care of it." I want people to change their mind, to say "You know what, no, the gov't won't take care of it, we will."
I gotta admit, I cried some... Thanks ***** and Thanks ***** for Pranking it Forward... Keep on being awesome, and thanks for making the world a brighter place for everyone...
Made me cry.
What a wonderful thing you guys did.
I'm crying tears of joy.. God bless all of you who help people in need, you inspired me to do the same
so far I've watched the housekeeper, smosh, and this one. I cried so much to every single one of those videos to probably every second of it. What you are doing is a great cause. I'm glad someone else besides the very few of us that are giving back to those who are ignored, in need, or just to show how great that person is - in a way we can't show, but you can. I really hope you keep doing this because I'll be sharing every good-cause videos to hopefully one day they can do at least one good thing for others.
How could 60+ people dislike this??????
That was a memorable heartfelt video especially the introductory speeches made by those people who experienced this ordeal
I absolutely love what you do. Ever since my parents dies I have been homeless 4 times. 3 of those times I was a mother. I love watching you save families. I would give everything n anything to be able to give my kids their own house. Home cooked meals daily and them no having to worry if we can afford rent or end up on a shelter again. My kids are 9 and 6 year old girls n a 2 year old boy. They have never had a stable housing life. Old beyond their years. They have dealt with more tragedies then most adults . They deserve to be kids. I love them more than I can ever express in words. So I understand how these families feel relieved and finally stable . God bless what u do.
this is my new favorite show the caring compassion and empathy of these wonderful human beings has had me in tears all day
i know the feeling of being homeless and seeing this video put a smile on my face when i was homeless so many others looked down on me but later on others like you guys came in and made things happy
stop cutting onions mom!!! jeez >.
This definitely brought tears to my eyes. I work in the human services field and help people facing homelessness, so this definitely pulled my heart strings. God bless everyone and anyone who has a passion to help people that are having tough times.
This video made me cry, there really are some good people out there.
Faith in humanity +1 :) this video made me cry, so beautiful!
Really beautiful Greg, definitely sharing!
This one made me cry. I have been homeless for a few spans of time in my life in the US and hungry several more than that. I've worked with homeless people as a social worker and been homeless myself. I've helped to feed homeless and hungry people and been refused food at two food pantries because I'm Buddhist and not Christian. This is wonderful to see. Thank you for all you do to spread happiness and humanity. This means a lot.
Thank you for this. Having been homeless with small children many years ago, I have a soft spot for these beautiful people. This video made me cry.
i'm crying this is so beautiful
Thanks for Helping The Homeless and Sharing This Video
Oh my... these videos are amazing. So heart warming and tearful. This is so beautiful. Thank you guys for your contributions to the needs of others. You are so blessed. God bless each of you.
Every time I watch these videos I end up crying! I'm on my lunch break and I hope I don't return looking a mess, but it's so beautiful and touching what you do. God bless you and everyone involved!
I watched this video with a big smile on my face.
Thank you for making this.
This was really good. I like how you were actually serious in this video, in others you are always sarcastic.
And every 5000 views you get a dollar? That's not very much.
***** He doesn't get a dollar... They donate a dollar. He gets much more than that
Every 1,000 views they get $1
When I see people do kind things, it physically makes me feel great. I love people who help people
I came across to see this video just now. Living in Switzerland where poverty can't be seen that easily I am so in awe and feel so ashamed. Although I am trying to make a difference with donations and showing my respect and sympathy by not ignoring my sisters and brothers who are struggling, I am still feeling guilty. I would like to thank you for your support. It doesn't matter at all if there is a commercial background. You are still making a huge difference. That's all that counts. Thank you.
I think that this video is very inspirational. We should help the homeless, and not be judgmental. I know - and hopefully so do all of you - that all the less fortunate deserve a little kick start to help their live get back on track. It does not matter wether its food or money, wether the gift is small or large. Just know that you are taking part of helping a person in need. If you see a homeless man, women, or child - take minutes out of your day to help make the world a better place. Thank you.
I found myself crying! Thank you for making them happy!
Absolutely amazing that all of you spend your time and effort into such a worthy cause.
I actually cried!!! When I saw this video u guys r truly heaven sent!!! God will bless u triple fold for this unique honor uve done for the homeless!!!
It's the people who appreciate it the most who deserve that kind of treatment
i keep watching these Prank it forward making me smile
This just made me cry! How wonderful to do something special for these people. God bless them and you for doing this.
That was very touching for you guys helping out the homeless and hearing that some of them never had been treated as good as they just did makes me feel like I should feel very lucky to have what I have now.
I've always wanted to do something like this, but I've never had the opportunity to. I'm lucky enough to even to be sharing this right now.
We all take things for granted but we just need to stop and be thankful for what we have because it could be worse. Society always tells us we need more but we just have to change our thought process bc when it comes down to it most of us already have what we need. Great video guys thank you
You are absolutely right! And this is why I'm going to school to be a social worker. I love helping people who are in need. :)
+cody thompson Amen brother!!!
Thank you for making me smile and feel happy.
I'm glad that there are people like you out there
You should have pranked them and been like "your bill will be $100"
This is absolutely beautiful! Brought me to tears! Please watch this video and help Prank it Forward!
I love these guys!!
I loved this. I could just feel their emotions. They are obviously at a miserable point in their lives and some of them seem so out of place they don't even know how to react. It was great to see them go from sad and tired as heck to smiling by the end. You brought happiness and health to these people!
You guys just have the most biggest hearts every video you make like this touches my heart I love people like you guys you guys deserve the best
I almost cried. You're so amazing
Great work man!
I loved the sad remark from the commenter who said "do your good works quietly, yadda, yadda, yadda." "You've already gotten your reward from men..."
This wasn't about getting a reward for doing good things, it was about sharing inspiration! About looking people in the eye and making them feel special. Only God is great enough to reward you for that. Bless you and all you've done.
Perfectly lovely. Thank you for spreading the love!
I'm almost in tears... (I do not easily cry). Wonderful gesture. Bless you all! Praise God!
This is why I love you Greg
shit i was fighting with my tears until that lady asked about filet mignon ..then i just lost it
Exactly the same point. Lost it completely.
I wish I could help people like this. what a feeling it must be. Thank you for all you do.
This is beautiful. It is truly amazing what random acts of kindness people will do.
The people who disliked this video are heartless souls
I wish I could hug that lady talking about the filet mignon. Dang dust in my eye...
Keep up the good work, Greg. You started off making me laugh with a movie prank video, which lead to two Prank it forward videos that made me cry. Awesome.
I just love seeing people smile
I love this so much. And I absolutely HATE it when people call them hobos. So disrespectful! Ugh. They're people too.
So wonderful what you guys do for people. :) xx
What a beautiful thing to do in this world. Thank you so much for feeding those hungry people and showing them respect. God bless
This was very beautiful and special at the same time!
wow... we need more people like you
give me a reason why there are 421 dislikes?
Because there are 421 utterly disgusting scumbags on RUclips
+Prince Fancybum The Lizard Squad exists, 439 now.
+Prince Fancybum that's right
It's because people are heartless with no soul,
It is because some people don't like people helping others and those are the people who have no dignity and aren't getting my respect
I love seeing kindness..it is so uncommon anymore. Way To Go!!
This was amazing!!! I love helping others. Nothing better than making others happy. Thanks for sharing!!
these onions are strong
Very!
why is no one who is running our world like this?
This is the most awesome video I have ever seen. I was one of those people at one time and prayed someone would ever care. There is hope for humanity
Right this moment, Tears were at the tip of my eyes. Nicely done!!
Oh god, I shouldn't be cutting onions while watching this.
