I AGREE WITH YOU!!!👏😊
M N2065 : AMEN AMEN AND HALLELUJAH TO THAT 🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯💯
I wish I had him as a principal when I was in school!
No offence but why there are only black students??
Is this school only for black people?
No racism intended
@@kensmilepachi3313 it's in an populated black area
This man is what it means to be a true hero.
N Olson yes..exactly!!

There are millionaires who don’t do anything for the community. Praises to this man!
thats a lie..he doindg what the parents should be doing..are not embarrised by this..wow
They pay over 90% of the country's budget so there's that
@Red Sunshine not facts
0121 most parents do the best they can. Sometimes they cannot afford clean clothes. I thought that was evident in the video.
Sandlin22 since when do the rich pay taxes lmaooo
“Fight for that baby, the way you want them to fight on that test.” Beautiful ❤️

I could only put my hand in the air from reading your comment!!

“Fight for that baby the way you want them to fight for that test” 😩🙏🏿

THANKS FOR SHARING 💃🏃
I saw him on Ellen and she gave him money. Good to see he put her donation to great use.
Yes he did for sure FOR ALL HIS BABIES💓💓💪
the question is if the program will continue after he leaves the school.
@@kercchan3307 it should.
I pray it does
I seen this at one other school . This is a REAL issue with students across the world . It took a real man to solve it here.That's what we need , go beyond the norm .
I'm crying so...... Hard right now😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I love this story. Kindness I just love kindness
Me too!!
Me 3 !
I do too God bless you and everyone!🙏
I'm choking inside. I'm happy and heartbroken at the same time
Daaaaaaaaaaaamn! Me too!!!!!! :-( This reality Hurts!!! But he's helping and healing a lot of BABIES!!!! :-)

JESUS THINGS We take For GRANTED😭💗💗

Tina Goins I don’t take it for granted speak for yourself u klingon.
I wish I had him in high school. I wore the same clothes everyday and got teased. We lived on and off the street and I was bullied. This would have helped someone like me and so many others.
Great job you're doing Mr. Cook. You are needed in this world.
@poet82n, I hope and pray that you are doing ok now and that your needs are being met. You are special and your life matters.
I like how he calls them his babies. You can feel the love he have for all of them.
God bless this man. His babies are truly blessed to have a man that cares so much.
I will continue to believe there are more genuinely good people in the world then bad.
Man's true nature is hatred.

Here is a hero helping the kids and family's that need it no bullying no shaming just help.when you give respect you get respect.Awesome Note this is where News Networks could help. solutions for us working class cannibals for which i am one
I agree with you!😊
Love this. Have been there. You can have a penny in your pocket and and feel like a queen with clean clothes. A nice clean out fit can change a persons life. Good job. More communities should provide this along with showers for homeless.
TRUTH SPOKEN!!👏 God bless you...🙏
You are 1000000000 percent right.
M. Mariah Hunt exactly❤
I love California for this. Plenty of free showers..kudoa
PREACH
Just saw a story on him last night. He opens up his school on Friday nights until 11 so his babies may have somewhere safe to hang out. Feeds them and has games and activities for them. Amazing leader.
Tons of respect for this man!
Talk about giving back to his community 👍
Somebody got to look out for the babies..they got a hard navigation...The HEART of a real HERO...
I’m not crying-your crying 😭🥺😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
Omg this man is s better father to his students than my own to me
God bless his soul ✨
😢😢ur rght-it was me.😭
our family is struggling to get by, and depend on our local school resource counselors for food, bus vouchers, and occasionally rides, we can't afford a vehicle, and if you don't have fam, a church, or any other folks in your life, the school is the last place in our communities to get support
Were you struggling before you decided to have kids?
Tennessee Fairfield I’m from that kind of back ground.
You just gotta work your but off and encourage your kids to get the best education they can for themselves.
Chin up.
Tennessee Fairfield Also, ignore idiots like Sandlinn22.
That’s just a negative person.
Nothing lasts forever...blessings all the way to the finish line! Trials develop character. Dont know you but I love you!
When you are in surviving mode financially it make you feel you are the only one in that situation .In really mullions of Americans are straggling to put food in the table. It impotant to focus on your kids education so that you could have a a better future .
Sitting here at 1:06am smiling and crying at the same time. God bless you and your babies.
He's not doing it alone. He has a community behind him. 😍❤
The fact that he calls them his babies 😭😭😭💕 this man is goals
It takes one person with good intentions to make a difference.. the youth are important
I respect this man.
Hats off to you sir. Excellent job you are doing.
His Babies😭😭😭. . .Love this man🏅🏅🏅🏅
I pray God continue will continue to lead this principle to always lead with a kind heart.
You can tell the kids really have love and respect for him ...keep up the good work👏🏽
So proud of this man, it feels so good to see people really care, especially in Newark
If only if only we have more people like him our children would succeed so much more than what they do now. You can truly feel and see the love that he has for these babies I salute you brother keep doing what you doing.

Happy tears I have for this brother....that's what you truly call ..."Putting in Work"!
Im in tears. Having clean clothes may seem so minor to most people, but its not always a given. Glad this issue brought up and this man recognized for his kindness.
You can tell he’s a genuine man. Love this ❤️

I'm a retired teacher...he is wonderful....📙📘💼...need many more like him....
Such a great big 🧔🏾guy with a big heart & genuine love for children
Who shed a tear ??? I know i did ..qe need more of him in the world.
This guy genuinely cares about the students. That has a huge impact on them💖
Wow my mom went to that high school and she and my father fought so hard so that my siblings and I didn’t have to grow up in that area...but I tell you what its satisfying to know that there’s still a strong sense of community that exists there...great story
This is a real man and Hero!! Thanks for educating and taking it one step further! 🏅🥇🏆
Biggest heart ❤️ ever ! But all schools should offer free washer and dryer and also minimum wage jobs 😭
Schools do not need to offer jobs. That is the reason that companies exist. They can't do everything. Do you offer jobs to other people?
This is a Man, who is true to himself & everyone around him. He is kind, generous, thoughtful, empathetic and very understanding to his students needs!... I just wish that there were more principals out there like him, watching over our babies while we are hard at work and trying to provide for our family's!.... Godspeed my Brother!.... 🙏
We need more educators like him.
