Chuck Riverside’s Community Support Story

I haven't ate today. Do you have anything to eat by chance? No, no, I'm 82. How old are you?

88. You're 88? Mhm. Do you live out here?

Yeah, I'm on a street. You're not a veteran, are you? Where do you sleep at at night? Out here.

Just on the ground? No. I didn't even ask. What [music] was your name?

Chuck. I'm Josh. Chuck, nobody your age should be sleeping out on the streets. [music] What could I do to help you?

Probably nothing. Somebody stole my wheelchair. Elect wheelchair. They've been trying to get me one now for 6 months.

How much is it? Wheelchair. 13 14 grand. I [music] don't have a lot to give you, but I have a little bit here.

You okay? Yeah, that's the first time [music] somebody that got much. Oh my gosh, probably 20 years. Now she is a real blessing.

She [music] has probably been with me 30, 35 years. Wow. She uh takes care of me. You can't be walking on those.

I try not to. But that's all [music] you got? No. What would that wheelchair mean to you?

Break my heart. What would a place to live mean to you? I wouldn't know. I've lived in the streets now for about 35 40 years.

What would that mean to you if we could get you a place to sleep and an electric wheelchair? God's blessing. I got to take her with me. That's okay.

I have 30 million followers online. They're going to come together [music] and we're going to try to get you an electric wheelchair and get you off the streets if [music] possible. You worked for [music] us, so now it's my turn to work for you. Thank you for your [music] service.

Thank you for your love and kindness. And may God bless you.
