  • As a kid who grew up feeling alone, helpless and having to take a deep breath every time I came home because I didn't know what was coming my way when I walked through the front door. I covered my pain with jokes at school but inside I was broken. When I hear about kids being abandoned or abused it brings back all those feelings I had when I was a kid. Here is a kid Jessie Bailey who I couldn't walk away from. With everything he's been through in his life I'm glad I could help him by giving him a 4 year scholarship to Capital University.

    The school cafeteria ladies never get enough credit for being social workers. They give kids encouragement, stop future bullies, slide kids families left over food for a week. Thank you 54th Street Elementary School Los Angeles Lunch ladies.

    As amazing as this video is (Gary, his wife Kenya, and Jessie)....the thought that 9 people who watched this video gave it a thumbs down breaks my heart.
    I pray that whatever has harden these 9 people’s hearts or blinded these 9 people from celebrating such love will experience such love and come back to this video and unclick their thumbs down to a thumbs up as a showing that they now understand and appreciate the courage and resolve (hope) of this young man Jessie; the seed (of faith) that the girl Kristen and her mother, Ms. Shelly, the cafeteria lady planted in Jessie; the watering of that seed (charity in abundance) Gary and his wife Ms. Kenya has provided; including the blessing of that watered seed that the lady, Ms. Tracy offered to Jessie in the way of an internship at her law firm.....which is all from the foundation growing in each one of them that Good has placed in them….showing that the love of the Lord is living in each one of them. I pray that God will provide and these 9 people will accept someone feeding into them….their hope with faith of love as Jessie had fed into him along the way. Amen.

      Always remember, even though there are people on this earth that choose to find ugly in everything, there are also people like yourself that bring out the beauty. Your comment itself is a perfect example of a seed that you have sowed so that others may be uplifted and walk away not concentrating on the negative but instead experience your uplift. God Bless.

    I 💘 what Gary said about PAYING HIM BACK by kicking as in life and taking on the responsibility and HONOR of being that 'somebody' for the NEXT person up.
    People are so SELFISH, they don't 'get' or understand that if THEY don't KILL IT....they can't become the BLESSING that how many others desperately NEED....
    I tell ppl all the time be GREEDY, be BOLD, go GET IT....you can't HELP anyone if you don't HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH....but you can't get there settling for LESS.....
    Being average can't HELP anyone in ways that truly matter....
    Do better than most, so you can help better than most

You can tell he is respectful of others and always has the best intentions but to do this? He & his family are just awesone! Congrats to the young man who got the scholarship. I know he will go far with all these folks in his corner, believing and having faith & hope in him! God bless them all & Gary, you are AWESOME!!

      My issue is not that I disliked the video but that my heart was broken for the other children in the class. How many of those kids were just as deserving and overlooked? How many children came from broken homes and were neglected without the opportunity to show their true potential but were completely overlooked and disregarded? Those same teenagers then had to endure watching another student receive a full scholarship. I'm not playing favorites and I'm sure that young man deserved what he got but it still bothers me that other students had to watch while life changing opportunities were not offered to them and the universe seemed to have overlooked their needs yet again.

    I’ve always loved watching Gary! He’s made me laugh for years. But to see this other side shows just what an awesome man he is. He & his beautiful wife are amazing people to give back in this manor. May God continue to bless you, so that you may bless others!

    Dope, Gary has been a great comedian as well as a great family man, and now he has even become a great inspiration for many others like myself.
