- I apologize this video takes a serious turn
I was filming a “boring day in the life” video when things turned tragic.
Be kind to those you encounter, help when you can.

Update: Brandys family reached out to me and informed me, they were made aware, and had a proper service in honor of her.
Her dog was also rescued by family and is safe!
This is my first time viewing your channel and I am sooooo sorry for this young lady you just met and I am sorry for her family I hate this sadness happened to you,at least no matter how brief ya'll were able to meet at that moment in time you were kind to her and she reciprocated appreciation back to you may Jesus continue to guide you and encompass His hedge of protection around you on your journey in this life she wasn't alone at this time in her life I thank you for being who you are right now🎉be well❤❤

That’s good news thanks for helping her do you think that if you had have gotten her the heater it would have saved her life
❤❤❤❤
@@VanventureswithKaia I believe she had an underlying medical condition like seizures. It had nothing to do with a heater.
Mateo , I am a homeless disabled female myself. It means so much just to be noticed and treated like a “normal “ person. People don’t come up to talk to homeless. 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. My love to you and anyone hurting from the loss. ❤😢
I wish you well Cheryl!
Hugs im in the thick of the same situation and w the holidays coming it's rough but sharing the smallest moments are healing❤
Oh Bless you. Keep warm and God Bless you.
Hugs to you...truly. ❤
@@angelavore6705Hugs to you too, Angela. ❤
You thought you were there for one last snow, but you were really there to show her one last act of kindness on this earth. You cooked her last meal. So thoughtful of you. 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.
😢this comment bought tears to my eye
😓😓😓😓😓
Exactly what I was thinking. Thank goodness you were there. The last person she saw, showed her kindness. Still sad of course.
The world is better for people like you that show compassion, empathy and kindness ❤️🩹😨😟A big hug to you. Just know your kindness was the last thing she knew.
God knows where we need to be when we need to be there and you were meant to be there because God knows your heart you’re an amazing young man
You know, you were her guardian angel? Her final meal came from you. The final words she heard were warm, inviting and gracious from you and her final memory was your kindness. You were supposed to be there. God bless you, Sir.
Beautiful GOD watching everything you do.
Blessings forever beautiful GOD and Jesus loves y'all forever. teach everyone you know and don't know.

He drove 3 hours out of the way to be where he was that day.. really makes you think 🤔.

"God" gives babies cancer of the eyes before they are even born.
Of all the videos I've seen over the past decade with people living in cars and the whole van life thing...I've never seen a single one of them cook a meal for a complete stranger. Love thy neighbor - God bless you sir!
Same! As soon as he got out & said he’d ask if she wants coffee and an omelet I’ve never hit subscribe so fast…
I just didn’t predict the video’s title pertained to her eventual passing. ☹️
This is so sad...her cars towed, her dog goes to the shelter.
But you know what's beautiful? You made her coffee and a breakfast sandwich on the last day of her life. That was kind. And a kindness she received made her day brighter and she got to recieve some love. It makes a difference. She did not die alone and forgotten.
You are a good man.
You were kind, you made a difference❤
Amen!!
Facts!
You’re a really good guy.
This man is so sweet .Hes helping someone have breakfast and he hasn't even had his yet .Out of propane for heater and going and going outside to help the woman Using up his resources to help another person .God bless this man . 🌹
I am so sorry. This is so sad. She was lucky to have you when she needed someone. You are a good man, God bless you.
You are one of God’s Angels
God bless you, she will appreciate it.
You are operating on a whole other level. You fed her and proceeded to ask her if you could bring her something back from Wal-Mart. Incredible! You are so covered, and I hope you know it. God is using you in mighty way.
I agree. God bless you and keep you safe and healthy and provide for.
God is the most authoritarian dictator Psycho ever...who would have probably inflicting a plague on her for not believing in her hard enough....no. Don't bring fairy tales into a shitty situation. Grow up
Agree, love from England 🇬🇧 ❤️ 🙏🕊
My dad lived outdoors often. He would always be the first person to stop and help someone. You would never walk away from him hungry. He wouldn’t leave anyone cold.
It’s so good to see someone being human and loving a stranger.
Dad died two years ago. I miss him so much.
Sorry for your loss
You both were so blessed to have each other. I sm so sorry for your loss.
Hugs
New subscriber...I was moved by your compassion and kindness for that woman on what would be the final hours of her life. You showed her love and warmth. It gives me peace knowing that she left knowing that there are good, kind and loving people in the world and that she was worthy of compassion and kindness ❤️. I see you brother 🙏🏾 ❤️
God Bless you for sending this selfless soul some decent money ❤❤
You too Are a Kind Soul ✨💐❤️
You guys should ask him if you have cash app
❤️
Thank you so very much ❤️
@winterisblu New to your channel. This was the first video I saw. My heart was touched at how you made her a great sandwich and then you ate cereal.. Your selfless acts of kindness towards a stranger in the last leg of her life is something you can hold on too and speaks volumes as to the man you are..I pray that God will work in your favor and bless you abundantly with everything you need!!! Your compassionate heart was shown in this video!!! So sorry for your loss and her family... Be encouraged Sir, and continue showing God's love🧡
I love how vanlifers are so friendly. I've been in my neighborhood for 6 years and nobody has ever offered me a cup of coffee
I live in an apartment with people above below and on both sides of me and have lived her 10 years and I don't know any of their names. But soon I will be out in my van and appreciate all van and car videos so I can learn as much as I can. I am starting with an empty Ford transit so everything will be a build and I can't wait.
I@dreamcatcherjulie1 I hope everything goes well. Good luck and please stay safe❤
@@MrsBeBe-de1xx Thanks, I hope you are well and stay safe also.
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.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You are so filled with love. Thank you for your example to others!👍
"But, who better than a person of your caliber. "
Well said and so true! Bless you!
Omg I feel for you and the woman and her family… it’s literally heart breaking to watch this situation. Take some time for yourself 🧡#nomadlife
@@bria-maineWELL SAID GOD BLESS EVERYONE
Greetings from Istanbul Turkey. I have followed many travelers' channels on UA-cam for years. I have never seen anyone with such a good character and pure heart as this man. It's so real and touches my heart. I couldn't help but support. I hope everything turns out the way you want buddy. You deserve the best!🌷
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Very nice of u
❤❤❤
You are a kind soul! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🩷🩷🩷😘
Wow when you were making the omelette and decided to make it a sandwich I said "good for you, making the most out of an imperfect situation" but then you added two types of cheese?! And toasted the buns?! AND broiled the cheese?! My guy you went above and beyond for a total stranger. You are an inspiration for what we need more of in the world. I already feel pretty generic but you have inspired me to work even harder to think of others and go above and beyond myself. Thank you for that. You are an awesome human
Beautifully said ❤
100%
I lived in my car with my kids and my dog. We went from having nothing to having a beautiful 3 bedroom home but I know exactly how fast everything could be gone. I never take it for granted. If you can’t be anything else, be kind.
How'd you get to a 3 bedroom home?
@@adammm46473he got off his ass and got a JOB? Think before you ask stupid questions🤡
@@adammm46473 I’m on disability but I was a single mom with 3 kids. I started small, I rented a shitty little rundown 2 bedroom trailer. It was horrible but I could handle the bills by myself. 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. I was approved for a FHA & USDA loan which covered my mortgage & most of my down payment. It was hard but it’s doable.
@@adammm46473he got it with focus and hope. What a guy!🫡
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ What else can I say😂
Nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said. It’s crazy that you made a last minute decision to change your travel plans. That the campsite you wanted was snowed in. And that you ended up where you did at the time you did. It’s almost like you were meant to be there. Most people would say it was for her. But it may have been for you. Why, only you and time can answer that. Take care Brother.
AMEN
I love this comment. ❤❤❤
beautifully said.
Nice comment @dcell922 .....😇
Beautiful.❤
I may never be the _human_ you are, although I try in little ways every day. It's a great comfort to know people like you are out there. Stay gold, winter. We're with you!
Wow, thank you so much ❤️
Trying to add a little good to each day is amazing
Stay gold?
@Jaque1961 "Gold" means pure where I live in the US. There's a famous poem that states, "Nothing gold can stay," meaning all pure people eventually become corrupted. I'm hoping Winter stays gold.
@@StormSong8 Thank you for the explanation. I agree with you!
Should always help someone if you see they need helping don't have to be asked. You never know if it's you oneday who needs a helping hand. Love your cat can see he's well trained & loved by you. You are a wonderful good young man you have a heart of gold "one of earth's 😇" ❤ Take care best wishes for a bright future.
Im not a religious person but even I recognize the spiritual energy that brought you into her world so her last days on earth were filled with moments of compassion and genuine care of her soul as another human being. Rest in peace Brandy and I pray for a sweet loving home for your baby dog
❤
❤❤❤
😢❤
😢💔🥺
We can't save the whole world, Mateo.
I’ve thought about this about a dozen times today. My heart goes out to you. The kindness you have shown would have gone far, and there is a chance her last meal was homemade with love from a stranger who took the time to learn her name. Focus on what you did to make a difference, I promise you, you will see the light that you are. Your followers sure did! ❤
Amen ✝️ 🙏🏻
Aww man Mateo. Im so sorry. I'm glad that Brandy got to experience such kindness in her final days. Thank you for being such a great person. RIP Brandy. 🕊
Thank you so much! ❤️
Awww I'm so sorry. You are such a kind man. Sending you love and light. You showed her kindness and love❤.
Thanks to you she was shown compassion and humanity before she left this world. God just called her home, she’s in a good place no longer suffering. Again thank you for showing up. RIH Brandy🙌🏾
@@winterisbluay bro here's what I do if I'm near urban areas. Look for malls if you're in a big city there are drive in parking towers you have food warmth and shelter. Change up the malls here and there I stay on the gulf of Mexico so everything is within 2 hours or so.
Also here at can literally camp at the beach for 14 day straight free then drive an hour to another beach for 14 days just making rounds. Wal-Mart and malls are everywhere.
Exactly ❤️
Brandy was fortunate to have had someone like you for the last human experience on this earth. You have a real heart. If I could hug you, I would.
Beautiful GOD watching everything you do.
Blessings forever beautiful GOD and Jesus loves y'all forever. teach everyone you know and don't know.
Thank you for the kindness you showed her. You will never know what this video means to her family and loved ones.
And us, what this video means to the viewers. A blessing.
@@dc7848yes just when you're about to lose hope in mankind. With all the violence, wars etc. This video kept popping up and I couldn't figure out why. So I decided to watch his video. I am now a new subscriber. I don't know this kind gentleman or precious Brandy. However this video made me cry. I honestly think this video was a sign from above. Just when I started to lose hope of mankind with everything going on in the world. I pray to GOD the poor fur baby found a forever loving home. Man that poor fur baby had to of been petrified and stressed out. RIP Brandy. Fly high with the angels. If anyone knows what happened to her fur baby, can u please update us.
Sending my prayers and deepest condolences to Brandys family and friends.
🙏🏼📿🕯😢
Her last experience on this side was you, caring for her and watching out for her. Make sure you find some community to care and watch out for you as you process everything. It's not your fault and you did exactly what you were supposed to do, above and beyond. Big hugs 💜

Mateo, you showed Brandy kindness and compassion. You did all you could do given the circumstances. You couldn’t have known her situation or if she had medical conditions. My heart goes out to you. Stay strong ❤
You are so right! My heart is breaking for him and all that loved her.
Amen!!!
Doug, I agree. Mateo you did not know Brandy’s condition and everything you did and offered was from your heart so stay strong and take care of yourself especially in the cold weather. My prayers for you and Brandy’s family 🙏🏾
God bless you, Mateo.. You will be blessed because of your willingness to help those who are less fortunate....❣️🙏🙌
So it will be . I believe. It is done.
Just know you've been hugged 1000 ×'s in our minds and with our hearts.
Mateo, you're kind and genuine. ❤
Thank you ❤️
I just found him and I have to agree!!
Mateo, you were her angel and now maybe she'll be yours. The world needs ppl like you. Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for being you. God bless you, Mateo.
🙏🏽🖤💯AMEN!! That young lady was an Angel sent to test you and sir, you passed the test. Don’t ever forget that lady nor the time and how you met her. I don’t know why you popped up in my feed but I’m glad. Luv, Light and Blessings🙏🏽🖤💯
I’m very proud to be in the world, where a gentleman like you exist. God bless you for caring about a total stranger when so many would’ve just walked on by.
Amen Jesus Christ is such a Good God! He never left us or forsaken us even in This Cold world he healed me from my incurrable sickness by his Holy Spirit🙏❤JESUS😍The Living God💯
I’m glad I came across this video. The fact that he fed her before even feeding himself and offered to buy her something from Walmart touched my heart. The world needs more people like him. Sleep in peace Brandy 🕊️.
She's the reason you drove those three hours. The kindness you showed her and the warm meal you shared shows that you were in the right place at the right time. God sent you Mateo to show her kindness and compassion in her last hours. You were a blessing to her. My heart goes out to you.
Well done Mateo 🫂❤️
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 subscribed to your channel after watching this video. As a retired emergency nurse and former EMT, I have witnessed death of strangers more times than I can count. The memories stay with you forever. I am so touched by your kindness towards this woman. As I believe, it was her time. You made such a difference in her last hours. May God Bless you in your travels. You have a new angel now watching over you, it’s what I believe. 👼
I TOO believe she is watching over You 😊
I also subscribed after this. Such kindness ❤
The dead dont watch ovwr people. Not biblical. Seek Jesus and be born again. Ask. Repent ad keep the commandments. Narrow path few find. End time. Mark already came @@CarolForlenzo
I too subscribed!
What a kindhearted comment. Bless you and what you do for people.
You don't realize how many homeless people are out there until you start dwelling in a vehicle. Good for you for actually caring though, I did a simliar thing for a lady I met while out on the road and we still talk to this day. The world can be a cold place some times, but spreading love will always keep us warm.
I'm 36, never married, homeless since the pandemic, and living in an old Toyota Sienna minivan now, despite working, and not addicted to drugs.
Not knowing Brandy's story, I hope that you take solace in knowing that her last experience was the kindness of a stranger. I'm sorry that you had to experience this but know that you did all that you could do in this situation.
This is my friends ex wife! I remember when she died i went over there to be with them through the shock. His wife is one of my close friends and sent me your video. I’m freaking out right now not sure i want to watch the rest of this video. I just finished it… Thank you soooo much for being kind to brandy. She was sick and I just want you to know how grateful i am that you helped her. I am so sorry that you had to see that and experience this. If you want to talk please reach out. Thank you for being a good human- kind, loving and compassionate- with no judgment ❤❤❤ may god bless you in your travels and keep you safe, fed and warm.
Oh I'm so thankful you read this. Yes, poor Brandy and her dog left wondering what happened to her 😢 I really hope he sees that you have reached out as it really sounds like his heart really took it hard and I think he will feel better knowing that somebody knew of her. Take good care and Thankyou Kindly June ❤
@@junecoulthard8942 i hope he sees it too - i keep feeling like i need to help him find closure… i don’t know why i feel that way. But i feel like he could benefit from knowing more about her story and that she’s truly free from the pain… she’s working thru it in heaven and wants to thank him for showing her sacrificial love at the end. There’s a lot there. I pray he will get the closure he needs whether that’s with my help or another source. I’m praying for comfort to rest over him.
@winterisblu my friend just told me they'd like to thank you and speak with you if you're open to it. We are trying to figure out how to contact you...
God sent you there to be with her and offer friendship and comfort. Let your heart be glad in that and pray for her lovely soul. You are in my prayers, kind man. 🙏
I am so sorry for your loss. Breaks my heart. What happened to her dog?
I am so sorry Brandy lost her life but so glad she experienced your kindness beforehand. Thank you for your example of humanity at its best.. It moved me and gives me hope.
What happened to Brandy?
She lost her life@@GoingtoLA
@kujas The Question was what HAPPENED TO her? We know that she Died.
Brother the amount of pain and sadness in your eyes at the end just shows how much of a real one you are. You were a total G for doing all you could to make Brandy's day as enjoyable as your own not having known her at all or her situation. Your words were loud but your actions spoke louder and i wanna thank you for the sake of being a good guy
This is heartbreaking what our country has become, elderly and disabled are living in their vehicles. Life is a struggle, and a little kindness goes a long way. Hoping the pup finds a nice home. Hang in there Mateo. RIP Brandy
What happened to Brandy?
You can thank Biden and it's going to get worse.
I'm afraid so 😢@@wanaraz
@@wanaraz Yea, you are 100% right.
@wanaraz
People have been living in vehicles since the beginning of cars. Do you think one president in recent years is to blame?
Continue to make it do what it 💯 do. Be safe 🙏
Wow thank you so much!
Bless your heart ❤️💖
You were the last person to be kind to her. God bless you. You are what this world needs now more than ever.
Hey man, so sorry. You gave that woman a warm meal and coffee out of the kindness of your heart. You're an amazing human man just don't forget, I wish we had more people like you in this world.
🎯💯🙏🏽
You show true compassion for others. You are such a blessing to mankind!
Thank you so much ❤️
I didn't know her and my prayers go out to her family, and you. I'm a recovering addict, so you can only imagine where I've been. It doesn't take much to be kind to someone. You have a beautiful soul, and are an amazing person. Please be safe. 💙
Thank you so much and congratulations on your recovery ❤️
Be proud of yourself. You were one of the last people to have a conversation with her, due to your kindness. You made her a hot cup of coffee, and a delicious looking omelet which may have been one of the last meals she enjoyed, especially coming from a stranger. Brandy's car was placed next to your van for a reason. She was able to experience that last act of kindness from you before her unfortunate passing. #RIPBrandy
That’s for what you did for her, you should her kindness on her last day. Extremely sad. I just watched wayward van channel, something like that wayward something. 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.
wow bless your heart. i’m glad there are kind hearted people like you out there
Thank you so much.
It was definitely hard to put this out.
Her family was notified and held a proper service for her. Her dog was also rescued by family!
New here. You touched my heart when you said “I think someone is in that car. I’m gonna go see if they’d like some coffee and an omelette.” You had me. I immediately knew you were a kind gentle soul and I wanted to follow your journey. I thought a dozen times during your video how you must have touched that woman’s heart with that selfless kind gesture. I had no idea that your video was going to end like it did. I’m so sorry you had to experience this but I hope it reassures you that you are beautiful and made that woman’s last day be filled with caring and kindness. From a stranger no less. I think an angel sent you to her. Such a tragedy she died. And her poor pup. And you left wondering if you could have done more. You couldn’t have. You did more than anyone I know of would have done. Bless her heart. And bless you. Thank you for being you. ❤
Mateo, Please be careful, If you run that little buddy without cracking a window you could get carbon monoxide poisoning, your kindness to a stranger was so heartwarming. I am sure that it will not go unrewarded, thanks for posting and shedding light on the struggles some people are facing.
Yup better to use butane. Not as toxic & cheaper
I would think to run a small ceramic heater on a portable generator instead.
Forget not to show love unto strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. You are a generous and kind soul. Possibly her last human encounter was your kindness. You make a difference. Take care, Mateo.
You put so much effort into cooking her that food… what a truly kind person you are
Mateo, it was no coincidence you were parked next to Brandy. Your empathy & compassion eased Brandy's final journey. Take heart from knowing that. Everyday there are countless unfortunate folks who go without what you offered so unstintingly to Brandy... Kudos to your family for raising a young man who adds Grace to this cold bad world!
Glad YT algorithm put your channel in my feed. Really inspiring and heartening! Keeping posting content...theres purpose to what you are doing!
Thank you all for the wonderful words ❤️❤️❤️
I pray that the Lord will comfort your heart right now....Im so sorry!!! Please be safe!!!!
You are a very special man, you give to others when you do not have much for yourself. We saw you had very little fuel and gave a hot meal to someone else and ate cold cereal. I have followed you for a long time on your journey and I truly believe I found your channel for a reason. You were put in my path to show me there is still good in this world and to strive to be a better person myself.
Family 🌹
Mateo your kindness speaks volumes....you were her angel on earth ....its always beautiful to see people reaching out to each other cause you never know what the other person is going through
@@patriciapuleski900I was thinking the same thing. I know she had to feel that love and kindness.
I don't know how your video showed up, but I'm happy it did.
Her last time on earth in a physical way she had kindness from you. You have a beautiful soul. Now, she will be the angel looking after you.
The world needs more gentle & kind men like you. Godspeed, Sir. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Exactly.. and he said in the beginning he wanted to go to another spot.. now he knows it was for a reason. He was in the right place In the right time.
He was in the right spot. That is such a blessing to know he was needed there..
Death is not easy but the dude was definitely called to be there ..
So neat how our ancestors work..

My condolences to the woman you helped, and may God blessed you abundantly for your mercy and continual strength and kindness to others and yourself❤ 🙏...
Life is so hard sometimes. She’ll think bk on your kindness. You may have even saved her life. Seriously I know..
I was in my SUV for 17 months my friend. Very nice of you to make her food. I would have never thought of doing something like this. You're a very special person.
Beautiful GOD watching everything you do.
Blessings forever beautiful GOD and Jesus loves y'all forever. teach everyone you know and don't know.
You are an Angel on earth. Keep shining Mateo. RIP Brandy
Oh, man, I’m so sorry Matteo. You showed her great kindness. I’m sure she was happy to have met you.
She left this world knowing your kindness. You were exactly where you were supposed to be. It is heartbreaking and I hope the police were able to locate and inform her family. Poor puppy too.
I just found your channel, and you seem like a genuinely compassionate, empathetic person. You lended a helping hand, for a complete stranger, and that’s what being human is all about. Take care of yourself, brother, because kindness returns tenfold.
you are so kind to cook a whole meal for your car neighbor and resort to cereal for yourself. wishing you the best man.
The 'Bo' from 'Ivy and bo and me' is the dog that I inherited from a full-time nomad that I met in Quartzsite who died less than 2 months later. So watching this was very triggering. We bond to others so quickly on the road. It makes losses much harder. My heart goes out to you, Mateo.
You are a special soul.The universe changed your path to stay in the snow for her and her pup. ❤️
It’s not often we witness a random act of kindness with complete strangers but hearing you offer a stranger a warm meal and coffee warms my soul. I haven’t even gotten to the half mark and I can guarantee you, I’ll be a long time subscriber of yours and if ever you find hard times please don’t hesitate to call out. I don’t know you but I want you to know, I love you and I pray god places a shield of protection around you during your travels. And if you’re ever in Alabama my family and I would love to buy your dinner and put you up for as long as you like. Save travels my friend❤️
I was not expecting that. Wow that was extremely tragic, i am sorry that happened. That was extremely nice of you to cook her a meal and offer if she needed anything more. The way you care and think of others is so kind. My heart goes out to her family and to you for having to witness such tragedy. I believe you were meant to be there, to show her kindness and to help her dog.
Beautiful GOD watching everything you do.
Blessings forever beautiful GOD and Jesus loves y'all forever. teach everyone you know and don't know.😊
God bless you! As others have mentioned, I’m not sure how your video landed on my UA-cam doorsteps but I’m glad it did. Top notch compassion and dignity was shown. I appreciate what you did for Brandy and for all of the hearts of those who watched this video. No doubt you have changed many hearts/lives. I’m excited about following your journey. Thank you for impacting my heart.
Wow, thank you so much ❤️❤️
This is the first time I have watched your videos. You are AMAZING!! You are so kind, to people and animals. You are training your cat. Everything about you is warm and friendly. I don’t know why Brandy was living in a car in that weather, but I am sure she was moved by your kindness. She was alone with her dog, and then you came. I’m an old lady in a car in Quartzsite. But I have heat, blankets, a way to cook. I have health issues too. It wouldn’t surprise me to die in my car. But oh how wonderful to have someone reach out to you. I subscribed and will be following you. I’m so impressed! Thank you. RIP Brandy, and I hope your pup finds a loving new companion.
People who are disabled and senior citizens shouldn't have to be homeless ! These rents are just too high all over the country. We need a massive building program for affordable housing to be built from one coast to the other. All City Council meetings should be used to make the Council members aware of the need to drop opposition to affordable housing, and permit it and build it instead. Investment in housing is investment in society !
Can't do that when the evil tyrants are sending all of our tax dollars overseas and funding foreign wars@@JulieSevelson-nb9nj
@@JulieSevelson-nb9njbut I agree with you 100%
So many people would have just not noticed Brandy in her car, or would have looked the other way, but you stepped right up to the plate and offered friendship, cameraderie, compassion and practical help. That makes you one in a million in my eyes, and I think you've made the right decision to post this to encourage others to break the ice when they see someone struggling in this way. (There but for the grace of God, go all of us). I understand how distressing this was for you, but maybe in time to come you will be comforted by knowing that you enriched Brandy's last few days with your kindness.
Hang in there buddy ❤❤❤god is within u and u will be happy always
You were an angel to her. She passed knowing that there are still good people in this world.
I Love how you are always willing to share food and drink. Basic human kindness that is kind of rare these days. God bless you.
I've watched a lot of vanlife type videos but this is the first time I've seen anyone reach out to someone and ask if they wanted coffee and breakfast. I was intrigued. You have such a kind hearted Aura that shone through the coldness in your Van. It's so cute you've taught your cat to eat it's food on the cat scratcher ☺️but hearing Brandy had passed away sent a chill down my spine as we kinda heard her on the video. My heart goes out to that poor woman as I know there are many out there in the same situation. May God be with you and let his light shine upon you
You're a good dude.
edit: omg you gave someone their last meal? Holy fuck at least they had a nice egg sandwich and coffee and social interaction. You shouldn't cry or feel sad, you gave that woman a good experience in the final time she was here.
You're kindness and compassion helped make her last days better. The sad reality of life- especially van life is that some people you meet on your journey won't be here tomorrow. You never know what people are going through. Keep being an angel on earth, Mateo.
Thank you, bro. Take good care of your health.
Thank you for the kindness you showed brandy.
Thank you so much ❤️
@@winterisbluI wish you all the success and blessings. You are a very kind person and I believe I found your channel for a reason. I love your cat as well. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs. My 17 year old and I will be on a journey God sees us to be. Everyday I fight and will continue to fight because people like you give me hope that we aren't alone. God bless you.
@@winterisblu I like your cat
Look how many people love your videos. It gives them hope that they are not alone 😅
@@fredakurzbard4316 why is it funny? Just curious
Thanks!
Who else likes before watching ??? I do and love knowing im supporting the best I can 🎉
Hi always clicked like button before watching LOL ❤
I always do too 😊
Meeee!❤
Me too!!
It's sooooo unfortunate this happened. As a 'stranger' you showed compassion and thoughtfulness in (who would have ever thought) her last moments 🕊🙏🏽
Mateo, your a Blessing to others my friend 💗
People like you with your heart are so needed in the world. I know she would've been so thankful that you checked in on her dog and that you reached out to check in on her. Sending you love
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.
You were definitely chosen by the Universe for the final hours of her life; she appreciated your kindness and inclusive community care. More blessings to you, Mateo. 💕
The universe had Nothing to do with this
@@elaparker2013 How do you know? Do you know what I know? I hope you find peace and joy in your day! Thank you for sharing your perspective. I appreciate you!
my belief system is that it was God who used this gentleman to be kind to her on her last days. May she rest in peace! 🕊
Wait...so she's gay?.?
So shall it be.
Bless your sweet soul and prayers for Brandy.
Thank you so much ❤️
You’re a very kind and compassionate person. RIP Brandy.
Who the hell is Brandy?
@@MarkelAndersondid you even watch the video bro?
😢 I am so sorry you had to experience that...I truly believe you were placed in her life for a reason. I seen all the effort and care you provided her for breakfast, you gave her every little bit of gas you had so much so you went without. You are a wonderful soul...a rare gem.. Thank you for sharing your videos with us please don't ever give up!!!
It's crazy how at the last minute you changed your mind and went back!! You were destined to meet...Her Earth Angel who knows how long her dog would have been out there alone and lost...hopefully she has family that will come get her dog...❤ many hugs sweetheart ❤️
Thank you ❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💯💐
Sending lots of love hugs and prayers to you and her family ❤️😔🙏 don't be so hard on yourself Hon, you were there for a reason and right time, bless your heart for your kindness at what you have done for her. Take care Bro, this is also my 1st time coming across your video content and just subscribed too. You and Lars will be in my prayers daily also😔🙏🤗❤️
Those unselfish acts of kindness you showed Brandy were certainly a comfort to her before she passed. You're a good man, friend. We need more people like you. Take good care of yourself abs Lars. ❤
What a kind person you are. Not only did you help that poor woman, you helped her poor little dog. As a huge animal lover, this touched my heart.
The lady that you helped and gave hot coffee to and a warm meal could have been an angel in disguise. Maybe a test from GOD. You passed my loving kind brother. You made a difference. Be proud! You may cross her path again but on better circumstances. Have a blessed day bro and to me you’re a real hero!!!! Keep up the great content and keep showing LOVE!!!
This ❤
We may be entertaining angels unknowingly.
@@donnapetagrew2014 absolutely
Amen 🙏🏾 ❤
Interesting 🤔
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
What a wonderfully compassionate and kind man you are, Mateo. Brandy saw your kindness in what turned out to be her final hours. Bless you. ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
She even returned the cup and dish. Glad he reached out to help.
Love thy neighbor. In the time you spent with her you showed nothing but love to a total stranger. You did exactly what we are commanded to do. May God comfort her family and you as well. Stay safe and may the love of God be in your heart.
I just finished watching and I'm so sorry that you didn't have someone to give you a giant hug that day. I know that you'll carry that experience with you all of your life. Thank you for taking care of that lady and giving her so much kindness. Huge respect, Sir.
So nice that you made Brandy something to eat and drink and offered to get her something from Walmart! You are a kind soul...just found your channel today and subscribed.
Oh Mateo, I'm so sorry you had to experience this. My heart breaks for you. Thank you for being the kind person you are.
😢 Much love to you. Take a few more days off if you need. We will always be here supporting you.
Thank you 😊
Thank you for being such an amazing person @@winterisblu🙏🏾 💖😊
Your a Angel on eath my friend, GOD BLESS
@@allisonthomas8099 who knows what the seizures were, there are so many possibilities. Unlikely hypothermia though.
Danke!
Mateo. You were where you needed to be when you needed to be. Your kindness is what makes you special. The meal you shared may have been her last but memorable. R.I.P Brandy❤
What a kind exceptional young man you are.....I am sure Brandy left this world knowing that someone nearby was caring and looking out for her....A warm cup of coffee and something to eat and a friend was just what she needed....She came back because you made her feel safe in an unsafe world....thank you for being such a kind person !!!
You said it so well! May Brandy rest in eternal peace and may God's blessings rain down on Mateo for showing kindness to her during his brief interaction with her. Terribly sad indeed 😢
your kindness just won you a subscriber. Your first words were about making sure a stranger had breakfast over your own needs. With all the cruelty in the world now, that almost made me cry.
Your kindness will be rewarded.
Young man I am so proud of you, we need more people like you. If you do not have a Granny I am here for you. Your kindness is priceless, thank you for sharing this it made a difference in my life
I'm not homeless but have disabilities and it's definitely a struggle with both. Sending my support from the UK.
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.
You have one of the most kindest souls I have ever seen. Your aura is gorgeous! Your compassion is heart warming. 💖🙏🏾
You did way more than most....
Keep spreading the love! Rest in peace Brandy ❤
So thankful you were put in that place and showed her love and compassion. Not everyone stops, you know, to do something kind for a stranger. She experienced kindness before she had that seizure. Something she may not have experienced for a very long time. I'm thankful that you were there for her in that time period.
Mateo, I firmly believe that at times, God places us right where we need to be in life. You were there in that parking lot for a reason...you showed Brandy genuine kindness and concern. 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. Please take as much time as you need...I can only imagine what's going through your mind...but just know you and her were side by side in this big old world for a divine reason. ❤ We love you Mateo! RIP Brandy! ❤🕊
A to the men 👍🏾
Yes, love and admiration to the max!❤️
