TikTok user @akramadinas shared footage depicting the homeless man being handed $500 – giving him plenty left over for supplies after buying the $150 glasses he wanted from Walmart.
The man can be seen sobbing after being handed the money, and he’s heard saying that he’ll go to the store to buy his glasses the following day.

2020 may not have been the year many of us wanted or even expected, but that doesn’t mean we can’t continue to treat others with kindness and compassion.
For this man, a new pair of glasses clearly meant the world, and it warms my heart to see his happiness at being gifted them.
