Young people who make a difference, is why I have hope for the Future! Well done 👍
God bless those kind students! May the Lord return your love ❤️
Get a new job😤
Thats one way to send them back & seal the border.
Bless those students. We need more people in our society like them.
its now at 24k thanks to the media attention, god bless everyone who donated
Wow what a fantastic gesture.
This is how we lift one another up people.
Well done…
WELL DONE! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
Lovely story.
You guys rock! What a thoughtful, selfless thing to do❤
This is a perfect example of how we’re not here for ourselves, but for others! Beautiful, have a great trip!!
I see it’s a GFM, lol, but great job still! Something like that is very interesting, I’ve seen it used for all sorts of things that I would never have thought to put up. Amazingly curious. Seems ripe for scams.
Way to go to these students at Providence College for doing this great deed. Shalom
USA 🇺🇸 ❤ Nigeria 🇳🇬 #Family
What amazing young men .
Blessings will come your way
A hired security guard? My HS had a real cop on duty lol
nothing to brag about Chief
You want a meal
@@gavriloking5637 I’m not bragging, it’s just weird. Anyone can be a security guard. I’ve seen like an obese 400lb security guard who could barely walk. On the other end, I’ve seen a 4’10” 80lb girl who was a security guard.
The ghetto future drop outs need real cops in schools these are college kids they were raised by real parents @@lowda9
@@lowda9 mahnn i work at a fedex ground here in houston, texas and we have both people you described 😂😂😅 plus one with nails that look like cardi B’s as well. You would think someone with a LE or combat military background would be doing these jobs but nope! 😅😂😂 they hire anyone i guess 🤷
Good on you guys. Good show!!
What a beautiful gift 😇. it’ll be a special day when he looks into his families, eyes in Nigeria🙏🙏🙏
More videos to come?
What a beautiful story- we need more of this in this world
Wowwwww amazing
Some positive vibes for a change ❤
It’s a beautiful thing what those students do but if you’re working full time for years, you’re supposed to visit your family at least once in a few years. The economy really is getting worse
Greatest thing to see!!! Makes it easy to GIVE
Great job
11 years bro i could’ve never done something like that and not visit my family
Trump 2024
don’t nobody want Biden to be president anymore I certainly never did
In the full video he gave an acceptance speech at the end and everything dawg was grateful for sure I can already see the family pictures he gon be taking
