Nice to see that he is looking for friends and didn't become an incel or started buying automatic weapons 👍
Awh😢 This made me cry
That’s sweet! God bless these beautiful souls 🤍🙏✝️🫵
You're my hero Shayden! ❤
Amen, God Bless You ✝️❤️🙏🏾
What a sweetheart! I wish this kid a life filled with friends who care about him and love him throughout his life!❤ ❤
This kid has some sweet 80's T's
Such a kind & beautiful soul these are the friends you really want around, God bless him fr 🩵.

Good. You have a cool personality. If anyone from this point doesnt want to hang out with you, just be glad. They are not people you'd even want to hang around anyway. Trust me, just wait and you'll find a cool person around the corner.
What a handsome young man! I wish he lived close by south Georgia. I'm sure my grandson would LOVE to have him as a BEST BUD!
But, I'm so happy and thankful that our world sees a need and ACTS on it to help people out when it's needed, ESPECIALLY when it's a child.
I pray this young man just keeps getting happier and happier with more friends and more friends.
And PARENTS – TEACH YOUR CHILDREN to BE NICE to ALL kids! Take the TIME to TALK with your children about BULLYING and explain WHY and HOW it's SO VERY WRONG and how it affects the VICTIM. Help YOUR child to become a BETTER human being by teaching them to accept ALL OTHER KIDS as friends and to STICK UP for kids that they SEE BEING bullied!
Definitely nice to see some positive reports for a change
It's a young Alex Jones 😂
😭😭😭😭😢
Such a cute kid.
What a great kid!!
Looks like the same kid from YouTube who flew down a street and crashed his bike into a gate.
$40,000 for getting picked on.
I had a catastrophic hemorrhage that almost killed me and forced me to try and rebuild my life, but I only got $11,000 from a GoFundMe.
Man I am in the wrong line of work.
IDK if goping door to door asking strangers to be friends is the best idea.
That's a great video.
He has more courage than I did when I was a kid.
