You have a huge heart and are full of kindness. You were an earth angel for her….i agree we all need to show kindness and care to one another. Thank you for sharing the story.

This is an example of why it is so important to value others and do what you can to support because you never know how much your actions mean to them. Thank you for showing the world how we should be toward one another.

    Without even knowing her situation, your internal compass told you to reach out to her. Your instincts told you someone was in that vehicle and you checked on her and shared a meal with her without any profit motive, gain, or intentions. Just one human connecting with another. She was so grateful for your kindness in sharing a meal with her. You never could have known what she was going through, but your selflessness told you exactly what she needed. This breaks my heart to see, but to know you met her in her final days will leave an imprint on you forever. We never know what going on inside of those we encounter. You showed exactly how to treat people without even knowing. It just happened to be caught on video and I'm very sorry you had to experience this moment. But, who better than a person of your caliber. Praying for you and praying for Brandy and those who knew and loved her. Rest in peace Brandy.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I took a little extra money each month & worked on building up my credit with secured credit cards/self. I put one bill (Spotify/cellphone) on each card & had it auto pay out of my account. When I started, my credit score was below 400. Over the course of 3 years I raised my credit score 280 points.

    Mateo, sometimes we come in contact with a person or people who are here for us in our moment of need. You were that person who came to Brandy in her moment in need. You noticed Brandy and saw Brandy, you treated her with the utmost respect and made Brandy a loving meal because you probably wanted her to feel better, seeing that she was living in a car. A meal you denied yourself, but would probably do many times over to help her. You were raised right and Brandy was very fortunate to have you in her last few days, someone to treat her with respect and love. Don't feel bad, you're a good man. Don't feel bad for knowing Brandy's moved on. Brandy has got all the amenities for life she could ever want now.

I haven’t watched these kind of videos in three years because I couldn’t do it because of my health. she mentioned someone named Mateo and you must be that Mateo. I don’t know why these come up on my stream but I watched a couple. I feel depressed the last few days. I have a house have a little money I’m just disabled and a little lonely. I have a brother and my son that lives with me, my husband died in 2019 right before Covid. I guess we can all feel lonely even when we have people around us. I’d like to know more about Brandi‘s story. That’s sad. What a kind person you are. I probably won’t watch a video again, but good luck to you, you kind sweetheart.

    I'm not even half way through the video, so i don't know what happened yet. But I just wanted to comment on how kind that was of you to offer that woman coffee and breakfast. I am so glad I found your channel ❤ You and Lars are so blessed 🐈‍⬛😊
    Edit: What a turn of events😢 I believe that that happened for a reason. You meeting her before she passed away. Goes to show you how important it is to treat people with kindness. No one is promised tomorrow ❤

    I watched your video this morning and still thinking about it. My heart breaks for Brandy and what lead her to that parking lot to sleep. She didn't seem to be the traveling nomad like yourself but someone in a hard place. Blessing to you for the kindness you shared. You amaze me and I love your smiles and kindness and what keeps me coming back to your videos. You make the world seem a little bit nicer.

      A test... Hmmm.. yes as a store manager I hired many... Ages,color, disabled, homeless.. but this homeless was named Christopher. The sweetest thing ever. I came and seen him reading his Bible. I'm shocked and ashamed of me. I said yep.. I hired you immediately. Whatever he needed I gave.. I told him he was an antionting I needed. Up to the last of my days as a SM,he was there.. he worked for free. I cried to him never again work this free for you or for me.. I think perhaps.. he was a test for me. I don't condone work free ever. I always paid equal and over the amount. I never played about people's time or money. He was different. I'm glad I met him.. this dude had holes in his shoes. And I see beauty for ashes

    Mateo, I know this one is hard to swallow. You showed kindness and goodness at a time when she certainly needed it. If she was prone to seizures, you have no way of knowing if she’d taken her medications or not. But you showed her kindness and I imagine that warmed her soul very much. Keep being you, the world needs your light.

God placed her near you in her final days because he knows you have a pure heart and maybe she needed that kindness...you are a real life angel Mateo. Thank you for the kindness you showed Brandy.
