    Those who have been through deep challenges truly understand and have compassion. Never judge, we need to know each others stories and listen to each other. See the human being in front of you. <3 As nearly always, the ones with the least give the most. I carry my Free Hugs sign with me nearly every day and do my best to take time to share conversation with homeless people and always share a hug. I may not have a lot to give, but I always have a hug and heart and conversation to share. Sometimes a sandwich, always conversation and hugs.

    This video inspired me to try to be less judgmental when I see a person asking for money. I don't know their journey. I don't know why they are where they are. We are all human and sometimes we all need a little help.

    Way to go Big D! This was so moving, I was in tears. The people were shocked beyond belief! This reminds me of the guys who did similar experiments giving out food in parks etc. They are on YouTube. But here is the lesson in quotes, Mike McIntyre “Sometimes those who give the most are the ones with the least to spare.” Sir Winston Churchill "We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give." Give and you shall receive, not necessarily from the same person you gave to, but from someone else. It's called Karma folks! <3 PS I am on a disability pension, but still give where I can. All my giving came back around the other day when someone had found out the amount of my snack at a fast food restaurant. When I went to pay, she said that's fine, someone paid it for you. I teared up right away & by the time was out the door, was crying. I said out loud "YES! The message is out there!" <3

    I loved this. Restores my faith in humanity to watch Big D give to those who give. Sadly there will always be those who see only "hobos" and miss the entire point of this post, but I think the vast majority get it. Thank you so much.

    Good job Big Daws! Even if you don't have to give or don't want to give anyone money, I recommend everyone that gets angry when they see homeless people would at least dress the part and walk an hour in their shoes. There is no one right answer, any way you slice it though, a little perspective goes a long way.

    Most of the hobos here in Oregon are alcoholics who don't want nothing but money for booze and drugs. If you want to help them, donate to the mission.

    Thank you Big Daws. May you be blessed many times over for your kindness. This inspires me to work harder for affordable housing which I already do. Go for it!

    The Qur'an advises the Believers to spend in charity over and over again, and promises multiple rewards from God for whatever is spent in charity. However, society looks down at the homeless and advises against helping the beggars in the streets. I'm glad you made this video, and I'm so delighted by this gesture of yours - WOW!

    I think there are too many people judging those who have to swallow their pride and ask for money. So what if this is the only way they can live we need to learn to share what we have. I wouldn't want to ever have to do this and makes me realise how much I have.

    The people giving are those who have less than enough for themselves. Doing something small can make a big difference
