The school cafeteria ladies never get enough credit for being social workers. They give kids encouragement, stop future bullies, slide kids families left over food for a week. Thank you 54th Street Elementary School Los Angeles Lunch ladies.

That is pure and raw emotion. Gary Owen you are a true inspiration and one hell of a man!!

That's why Gary Owen is one of my favorite comedians. So humble, caring, real and giving....Love this dude.

"Pay me back buy by doing the same." "Make sure your name means something."

This man has my utmost respect.

I LOVE THIS MAN. HE IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF WHAT AMERICA SHOULD BE. 😢

I LOVE THIS!!!! GARY OWEN YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!! MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU AND MRS KENYA

Damn Gary Owen got my grown ass tearing up 😂

In spite of all of his success, Gary remains humble.

Gary and his wife are the real deal. You can tell that its all from the heart. May Almighty God bless and reward them abundantly. Amen.

That's what you call giving back. It's not the money, its the emotions and feelings that'll make this work. Respect.

I adore an emotionally deep character driven man. Good job Kenya you won the prize my dear

dude got me tearing up ... gary is such a good person ...

As amazing as this video is (Gary, his wife Kenya, and Jessie)....the thought that 9 people who watched this video gave it a thumbs down breaks my heart. I pray that whatever has harden these 9 people’s hearts or blinded these 9 people from celebrating such love will experience such love and come back to this video and unclick their thumbs down to a thumbs up as a showing that they now understand and appreciate the courage and resolve (hope) of this young man Jessie; the seed (of faith) that the girl Kristen and her mother, Ms. Shelly, the cafeteria lady planted in Jessie; the watering of that seed (charity in abundance) Gary and his wife Ms. Kenya has provided; including the blessing of that watered seed that the lady, Ms. Tracy offered to Jessie in the way of an internship at her law firm.....which is all from the foundation growing in each one of them that Good has placed in them….showing that the love of the Lord is living in each one of them. I pray that God will provide and these 9 people will accept someone feeding into them….their hope with faith of love as Jessie had fed into him along the way. Amen.

Gary... you the MAN my brother..!!! This is what God wants to see happening everywhere not only is the US but around the world ... the well to do ..helping the less fortunate.. you, your family and everyone there ... will have God's abundant love and blessings plus good fortune so you'll can pay it forward ... God bless ☝️🤘🙌🏻🙏🏻

Well there was a “donation” that wasn’t made just to make someone look good!! It was definitely made from the heart!!!!

God bless Gary and this young man,wow,what a incredible gift. Thank you for helping mr. Owen's.

Gary and his wife Kenya are good people

not only is he funny he is a great Man love this

God dammit I'm balling my eye's out. Love your work, Gary. You're a great role model for men everywhere.

I love how Gary is the one bawling. He's a good man.

That was definitely awesome! Loved, loved, loved when he said “Make your name mean something!”. That is so profound and meaningful. When all is said and done, and the dust settles, your name is all that matters...and what you have done for others.

I'm crying like a baby watching you! Gary Owen, my admiration of you and your family has skyrocketed! I hope young Mr. Bailey realizes his dream, and pays it forward. Loved this SOOO much!!

This guy has always made me laugh but aaaargh .....tears maaaaaate,what a man 👌

I’m crying my eyes out. You are such a wonderful man.

When we shed tears it's because it's from the heart. Let us all continue to be great examples some how some way...

That young man may end up being one of a very few great, caring, and honest lawyer. Blessings for the Owen family. Showing that paying paying it forward is the right thing to do.

You're a great guy Gary, I did the same and the student. He did so good the school gave him a scholarship for the remaining 3 years AND gave him a scholarship for his masters.

I love how Gary takes this personally what a man and show emotion like real man 👨

Game changer just became a life changer. God bless you Gary Owen

Gary Owen you are Blessed!!!!! I was looking for treasures today and I found it in you and Kenya. I'm mad at you because my tears are messing up my make up!!! God bless you! God bless your wife! The world is better because of you!!!!!

I liked Gary before this. I really love him now. Awesome.

Gary you are an amazing person. Thank you for inspiring young kids to stay on the right path and giving them something to look forward to.

Good guy Gary. seeing you get emotional shows exactly what your heart is. Nothing but love

I 💘 what Gary said about PAYING HIM BACK by kicking as in life and taking on the responsibility and HONOR of being that 'somebody' for the NEXT person up. People are so SELFISH, they don't 'get' or understand that if THEY don't KILL IT....they can't become the BLESSING that how many others desperately NEED.... I tell ppl all the time be GREEDY, be BOLD, go GET IT....you can't HELP anyone if you don't HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH....but you can't get there settling for LESS..... Being average can't HELP anyone in ways that truly matter.... Do better than most, so you can help better than most

So proud to have you represent the 513! You are a true testament to hard work and hustle. Fill kids up with "want to." Thanks for what you do.

this was so inspiring. I really needed this,, Thank you Gary..... Your a real one

You Sir, Gary Owen, have my deepest respect and admiration as I was always taught that when you become successful to never forget others and to give a hand to pull them up by assisting in ways they never thought possible. Big Respect!!!!!!

I used to make friends with the lunch room ladies. They are some of the best people who listen. Shelly you are a wonderful person, and many blessings to you.

That internship is worth it's weight in gold. That's where he'll really learn to be a lawyer.

Dope, Gary has been a great comedian as well as a great family man, and now he has even become a great inspiration for many others like myself.

Gary this is so awesome!!! You will be blessed!

Gary’s heart really showed in this video and I glad I watched!

Gary, thank you for extending a helping hand to this young man! May GOD continue to BLESS you and Kenya!😍😍😍

Absolutely beautiful! God Bless you, Gary.

Just when I thought I couldn't respect and admire this brother any more... a truly straight up dude who knows how to love with his whole heart. Right on Gary! Keep shinin!

Can't stop crying, Thank you Gary and Kenya, you're beautiful people xxxx

I have loved Gary since the 1st time I saw his stand up on tv and that feeling has never wavered! This right here....this is the essence of who Gary is. He not only made his way but is passing that blessing on! My respect for him as a human being has soared a million trillion fold!! You can tell he is respectful of others and always has the best intentions but to do this? He & his family are just awesone! Congrats to the young man who got the scholarship. I know he will go far with all these folks in his corner, believing and having faith & hope in him! God bless them all & Gary, you are AWESOME!! We need to see more positive things like this on tv & in the media!!

It takes a lot of strength to display that level of vulnerability. I really feel you there Gary

When you give a piece of your heart away... Can't help it but shed a tear. This action wasn't done for publicity, it's coming from the heart. God bless Gary Owen for this. #loveIsmyreligion

Thank you Gary for knowing where you came from and being 100% genuine. Impact you'll have will make the world a better place. ❤

Real genuine compassionate speech and actions from a good man. Blessings to you Gary and Kenya❤

I must have got something in my eyes while watching this. God bless Gary and this young man. I pray he pays it forward one day too.

I love this video. He is a true inspiration and great man.

Gary is a bad ass. He is so humble. He is proud of who he is. Always been true to himself.

He’s a great man... as wealthy as he is, he can only do so much... but like he said in his own life... only takes one person to change another persons life. Much love to this man... more people should see how better he’s making this world with just showing that much love.

That was so full of emotion, I couldn't help but cry along with you. WOW!

What a wonderful thing he has done . And to the 49 who did'nt like this , shame on you

Damn Gary! you always make me laugh...now..im crying like a baby! May God bless you and your gorgeous family. you are a great person.

It’s more about the power to be able to help someone else fully and you fully being able to . Best High ever !

Gary and Kenya! Thank you for this! I love that you made it clear how important people are and that how we treat other people is important, too! Pass It On! LOVED THIS. God bless you and your family. I truly hope that Jessie does well in life and spreads the kindness that was bestowed on him. Gary, you are one of my absolute FAVORITE comedians!

Gary is amazing. And to see his emotions really shows he truly did this from the heart. I love it. Made me cry lol.

Love this man...such a real class act with a real gift for communicating. I'm a musical artist/songwriter and I always view art in the end as simply communication in some form...the great ones have a way of communicating a situation or feeling in a way you feel it in your soul

Absolutely heartwarming to see such caring, giving and grace ♡
