A US-based influencer has garnered widespread acclaim for a video where he gifts a homeless woman her own apartment. The woman, who had been on the streets for a decade, was profoundly shocked and elated upon discovering that the man had arranged for her a place to live. The video, which has gone viral, was posted by Isaiah Garza on Instagram. In the footage, he is seen in his car, warmly greeting the woman who reacts with enthusiasm. He then invites her to approach and open a present. Upon finding a key in the bag, he announces, "I got you an apartment." The woman is so touched that she breaks down in tears, repeatedly saying, "You're crazy." The video follows Graza as he escorts the woman to her new residence, which is furnished with a television, a bed, and other comforts.
A post shared by Isaiah Garza (@isaiahgarza) on Instagram, titled "POV: Surprising a homeless lady with her first home in over 10 years!" reflects on the profound impact of the gesture. Graza shares, "I learned so much from this day & the process of helping her. She is an amazing soul & I will never forget this beautiful moment." He also mentions posting the video to celebrate it reaching over 200 million views across social media platforms. Initially unaware of the depth of mental health challenges and trauma faced by those living on the streets for extended periods, Graza expresses satisfaction in making a positive difference in her life.
Since its posting on June 7, the video has accumulated over 11.3 million views, nearly a million likes, and numerous comments from viewers expressing their admiration for Graza's act of kindness.
