Bubbles’ Housing Support Story

How much for a plate? $8. [music] It's $8? Yeah.

Do you have anything for a couple bucks? You can have one for free. I was going to give them away for free [music] if I don't sell them anyways. Free to who?

To the homeless. I usually give them out if I don't sell them anyways. Why do you do it? You always want to just [music] help people.

There's good people in this world. People are just not okay to show it. Is that what you figured out? So like people always [music] think being a good person gets them hurt, which it does, but that doesn't mean stop being one.

Yeah, that's beautiful. Well said. Wow. What is this?

I made Oh my god. butter chicken, rice, garlic bread, and seasoned vegetables. Well, I can't just take it from you. No, it's fine.

What do you do full-time? I'm I'm employed, so like I'm trying to open my own business, so I'm starting out small where [music] I can. I mean, is this paying the bills? No, but it's starting my journey.

What's your dream? [music] To open my own storefront and like eventually have like chain restaurants of Bubbles' Kitchen. Like it's like a McDonald's, but it's my own. What's your mission behind it?

I love cooking, [music] so I love cooking to me feels like home, and if I can give somebody a piece of home from just [music] my food, that's what I enjoy. Aw. How old are you? I'm 24.

I just turned 24. What were you doing before this? I used to be a teacher. [music] I got my associate's degree in early childhood education, but I'm a type 1 diabetic, so being with a lot of kids [music] really messed with my immune system, so I'd be hospitalized for weeks on end.

Whoa. And so I ended up getting fired because it [music] was too unstable for the children with my health. So you went to school to be a teacher, and they let you go because you couldn't be a teacher [music] because of your immune system? Yeah, because of my health.

gosh. What's your business called? Bubbles' Kitchen. Bubbles' Kitchen.

Is that your name? It's my nickname. My mom used to call me bubble face, so when I got older, I didn't want people to keep calling me bubble face, so I just dropped the face and called myself bubbles. Why do they call you bubbles?

Cuz you're bubbly? [music] Yeah. My personality and my favorite Powerpuff Girls is Bubbles. Oh, okay.

Makes sense. Sorry to interrupt you. No, you're not at all. How we doing?

Pretty good. I follow you on social media. Oh, well thank you so much. I appreciate it.

How about I pay for [music] a boy and just get rid of some of them? Well, I'm giving them away for free anyways. What can we [music] do to further cause? What we could do, how many do you have?

I have seven. Oh, do me a favor. Take this to [music] her. Give it to her.

The one you don't have this. Which shows appreciation for what you did. Hold this. For your kindness and what you about to do.

Man, nice to see you in person though. Man, you're a blessing. I always see [music] you on social media. I'll be like, "Damn." By the time I get there, you're already gone.

I'll be like, "What the No, no, no, no. We couldn't let that happen. What's your message to people who are watching the video? Just be a good person cuz you never know what someone's going through.
