Change For A Dollar

[@DaniieLLa888]

The poorest people have the richest heart.

[@Bakersmotorsports]

I watch this every time I think about it over the years. My daughter was on the streets for over a year, I just wanted her to call home. Now she's a manager of a large corporation. Change is good

[@avad.4370]

I remember watching this freshman year of high school during an assembly and watching it and sharing it, crying each time. Five years later, still here. It never gets old, and I have so much love for this. So much.

[@avad.4370]

Here again. Still hits.

[@vincegiaccone4411]

We are the change. Thanks for those who didn't give up on me...they were my change.

[@richardtaylor8595]

A little bit of kindness goes a long way. This made me cry.

[@mistylovejoy4060]

I usually never cry watching these kind of films. But half way through I started crying. Balling I should say. I still can't stop. I love this so much!

[@margoroll4581]

Angels are in all shapes and sizes!!!! A beautiful story I cried through the whole thing.

[@SharonWrightLA]

Yes they are. Thank you so much!

[@rickdavis2235]

I was a part of this film in a very small way. Sharon Wright was, at the time, a model and actress living and working in Kansas City. As a photographer, I worked with models and actresses and had photographed Sharon for her book (portfolio). When she got ready to do this movie, she asked me to shoot the still photos of behind the scenes. I had no idea of the content of the movie or what would take place but, as I soon found out, it turned out to be quite a production for her first film and a great insight for me as to what it entails to make a movie. Nothing was shot in sequence so it's hard to get a good feel for the end product until it's been edited and music added to it so when I saw the completed version, I knew Sharon had hit a home run and was proud to have been a part of what went down over the 2 days of shooting this.

[@YTInnovativeSolution]

I have family members who have experience with movie and news productions. I'm curious if your lack of knowing what the final product was to be like had any affect/effect or lack thereof on this short film. Just get the shots and the editors will decide from then on. Great work BTW. - some guy In KCMO

[@johnberlin1037]

This short film should be nominated for an Oscar. And it should win the Oscar. Very difficult to top a film like this. Congrats to Sharon Write and to Robert Campbell for a superb job.

[@HiTechOilCo]

That's not a homeless man in this video. He's an angel. :)

[@raymondlussier3978]

I cry 😭 every time I play it

[@ryandoucette2824]

Great production I cry ever time feeling so sad for people like this but the main charecters the guy should be awarded nicest guy ever

[@mikegreenlee30]

My brother is the little kid in this he is now 17 turning 18 and always remembers making this short film live hik to pieces and this short film depicts him perfectly

[@SilentKnight43]

His expressions were priceless.

[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

He did a great job. He has something to be proud of.

[@nomadbird]

Inspirational..The beauty of life is in giving... And beautifully shown!

[@jherrera7225]

short films like this have reminded me to keep an extra pair of good socks, a day pass, and matches in my purse, it's been good from the perspective of having something to offer. I get big bags of turkey jerky pieces in bulk and trail mixes at the grocery outlet store and put some in zippered sandwich bags to have with me to give out when I remember. When I was unemployed I'd regularly find a food distribution center/food bank to help stretch my savings and any unemployment $; it's humbling but helped me remember to give back. So thank you if you've ever donated your time and money to others.

[@SJ_Waves]

Extremely well done and Perfect in sense for this era we all find ourselves in. Love the use of the four words, 'Mom wanna come home' Congratulations!

[@Peculiar34]

The heart that is full of love has always something to give....

[@ElisaLynn92]

i watched this in 2012 and could not find it to watch again, i search with title like: old man giving dime or something like that... i looked for it like a year already but today suddenly i scrool back on my fb timeline again, somehow and i am now watching it with tears

[@HiTechOilCo]

+Vu Thuy Linh Nguyen God loves you. :)

[@stercoex]

i was homeless for 7 months. I met and became friends with other homeless people and we sometimes would have that small change that would allow the other to eat for the first time in days .I still see some of these people and we always hug and i give them what i can,a ride, money ,a hot meal. everyone should spend a month walking in our shoes so u will be humbled like we are.

[@AwesomeDaysAhead]

Praise God. What a testimony. Thank you. We love reaching out to our friends on the streets of Chicago. U gave me continued strength.

[@bogwitch1019]

We watched this in class and only 3 people weren't crying by the end of it. I love it so much

[@SharonWrightLA]

awww, thanks so much, I appreciate the comment!

[@HiTechOilCo]

God loves you!

[@jesuisquejesuis1]

49 year old male, cried the entire time also. Very touching. Thank you.

[@danielaannederek]

I saw this video I cried. This video was beautiful and filled with thought. I really love this one. One of the best videos EVER made!

[@ninalu6035]

Agreed.

[@Vagabondo-fs6qu]

perhaps one cannot truly appreciate all that we have until we experience what it is not to have anything however not having anything does not mean we cannot give or share ....

This is soooooo precious!!! Let us not forget human kindness.

[@stbillchill]

27 year old male here, cried the entire time. Beautiful film, thank you!

[@emily-jm8ul]

IT HITS YOU IN THE FEELS SO HARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRD

[@craigsmith8882]

What's amazing about this film, is that it shows how small acts of kindness can be helpful; but being keen enough to notice where and who needs that help. As if Ms. Wright were saying it's one thing to blindly just throw money at some beggar (fake?) along some freeway exit. But another to know where the help is really needed. Kindness can be taken advantage of. :-/ (ps - held the crying until he gave the girl change to call her mom.) {sniff}

[@GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Wonderful Work:-) Thank you for making it.

[@seanchlebowski7813]

I watch this every year around this time. I wish people understand how small acts of kindness could change our world.

[@daniel.sfarias]

Quem está vendo em 2024? Um dos melhores vídeos que já vi sobre esperança! Awesome!

[@ayana6803]

My teacher recommended to my class to watch this. I know most of the kids in my class probably didn't and I wasn't about to watch it either but I decided to and wow, I'm glad I did.

[@SharonWrightLA]

That's so awesome, thank you. Where do you go to school? I've had so many students come tell me their teacher told them to watch but I don't know if it is all one school or different ones. I'm so grateful that they enjoy it and encourage you all to watch! Thanks for the comment and have a great day!

[@bethjean1563]

millielovestea the first time I watched this I was 12 years old, to this day it's still my favourite video to watch, it's beautifully made.

[@mill__er]

this is so sweet :')

[@Royalhighlander]

I was behind an elderly woman who strted to put things back as she could only afford a certain amount.. I mentioned there was too much month left..she told me she was a sub teachers and only had a small pension.. I told the cashier to put what she didn't take on my bill and it was only 12/00 bucks but just regular stuff.. I was making good money then and to me it was nothing.. when I got outside this elderly lady was waiting and asked if she could give me a hug.. it was all I could o not to let her see my tears... do something nice for another just for the heck of it.... in 2012 I had an accident taking the ditch with my truck to avoid killing 3 people, broke my back but am still alive... do good while you can..............

[@Rozzy58]

Your beautiful story touched my soul as much as the video did. Now, 5 years later, I wonder how you are doing... Warm greetings from the Netherlands ..

[@thebryanduvall]

Absolutely one of the BEST shorts I have ever seen, sends a wonderful message to the younger generation, and reminds us all young and old to pay it forward. We can all affect positive change!! Thank you!!!

It's Back! Please watch, share and enjoy! Remember - it doesn't take much to be the change in someone's life! Winner of two Regional EMMY® Awards, two Telly Awards, the W3 Award, Webby Award Honoree and much, much more!

[@DanEskelson]

Sharon, I have shared 'Change For A Dollar' again on my G+ timeline. No matter how many times I watch it, I have tears in my eyes.

[@SharonWrightLA]

Dan Eskelson Thank you so much Dan. We took it down for a while to try to use it to raise money for a charity...surprisingly people got irate at it being gone lol...so I gave in. So glad you shared it, thank you so much!

[@GraceMargarido]

Sharon, It's the first time I've seen this. THANK YOU SO MUCH for making it! I'll post it absolutely everywhere: Facebook, Twitter, G+ and my personal Newsletter. It's amazing! Talk about a powerful message! Thanks again, and Happy Holidays!

[@fuldagermany]

Very nicely written and portrayed. If the spirit shown in your video does not exemplify what life, ultimately, and, at this time of year, Christmas is really about, then I have no clue what might. Thank you for your work and keep on pulling the coats of humanity to make us pick up our heads, and shining the light of love on all of us so that we may do the same.

[@BillRau2152]

Thank You for this video. I am writing this crying as I so love to see the spread of goodness in people.

Been watching this for a few years now, maybe 4 or 5 years. Still moves me. Thank you.

People who have no soul. This is my 6th time watching this and I'm still crying

[@kennethkirkham2471]

Maybe they couldn't get past the noise during the first few 30-40 seconds.

Perhaps they are just people who could use...change.

[@DennisW505]

I'm reposting this on Facebook this year, because it's the best gift I have to give. I've shown this to numerous people at our Ministry, all who watch come to tears. I've followed this for a few years now, and each time I watch it, I'm brought to tears. When I've shown it to others, I always give them tissue before, because I know where it will take them. Sharon, you were so, so right about producing this.

[@IWishIWasHer]

I definitely just teared up, but by the end, I was bawling my eyes out. Beautifully done.

[@dsethi05]

Beautiful , Thank you so much Sharon , You are blessed .

[@thisisjcvogt]

Truely an amazing short. Touches you in the heart, and makes you realize how much you have to be grateful for. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@granduc65]

The happyness can't be kept, it must be shared. We don't need anything to make people happy. It's a very moving film Thank you Sharon.

[@kingdisney]

such a moving piece. Thanks so much for creating this short to inspire me today. For me, the greatest part is the '?' at the end of his Change sign... telling me that he isn't seeking for actual change... but asking all of us, 'is there something we can do to create Change??' Beautifully done!

[@ggor9597]

I think of this video often....timeless

[@artistrose22]

never again will I feel like a sucker for giving my change to every panhandler I meet. Thank you! Well done!

[@moooo8888]

And once again, thank god for showing us that humanity still exists in our society.

[@stebbiro]

What the world needs... Love sweet love. Ya got a tough guy cry'n. I wish all films were made with such compassion and all change were as effective. Bravo!

[@goose2die4]

How can you not feel compassion watching this......You have no heart ! A great share on Christmas Day I'm going to share even more today!

[@words4everbe]

Beautiful, touching and very moving. Cried from the moment I saw the lady trying to buy bread. Life can be hard but it is the little things that count. x

[@MarySonnabend]

We watched this today in my advisory and I almost cried. Amazing!

[@RFMongoose]

I've been unemployed for almost 2 years now. and i have to say that this is just heart wrenching. well made sir i applaud you with a tear in my eye.

[@tdianeglenn4626]

That left my eyes so full of tears I can hardly see what I am writing. Thank you for taking the time to remind the rest of us that a little or a lot - giving is giving and you never know how far it will go. I will look a little closer before I pass a beggar, because of this message.

[@HristinaBel]

I am in tears, too. Not just because of the beauty and warmth of this movie, but also because I feel I am not doing enough to relieve the pain that surrounds us...

[@davidbrown5587]

I watch this every Christmas, as it represents the gifts that can matter. "When saw we the an hungered or a thirst?".... God uses the angels around us to make a difference in others lives and we can be his angels as well. Thank you Sharon Wright (SHE'S ALWAYS WRIGHT).

[@brianbeauchamp7996]

To this day...this is still the most beautiful video I have ever watched. I share it every year around Christmas time.

[@reddkl]

You never know how you impact people. A simple smile can change a grumpy person's mood. I hear from former students (post-secondary) occaisionally and some of them I have trouble remembering (30 + years of teaching). They tell me a story about how something I said or did affected them and I'm always shocked at the impact. This is a perfect film that speaks a ton with the wisdom of all the ages.

[@deansterdude]

This is one of my favorite videos of all time and after a few years - I still love to share it and hope the ONENESS of humanity gets the message!!! Blessings to ALL - thx Sharon too for being a channel of the DIVINE

[@joanandharry136]

I love this - he KNOWS what life is really all about - so sad so many of you don't

This was the most touching video I have ever seen. To show how we can effect change even when we have so little. Thank you for opening my eyes (and making me cry)!!

Dear Sister Sharon, KUDOS & CONGRATULATIONS! Your brilliant and evocative cinematic piece, should be required viewing for our entire planet. As I sit here sheltering in space, my tear ducts have been sufficiently cleansed. Thank you from the deepest core of my tender heart, for the major lessons in universal compassion, magnanimous kindness, and radiant empathy. May the aromatic blossoms of creativity, forever flourish along your artistic path...

Bless you for sharing this inspirational video !

I just watched your short, WOW I was so touched by its heart warming narrative. One line of dialogue in ten minutes but the audience still connected with each of those characters. Kudos to the director and actors! Excellent! Im from England.

[@TaryTaylor]

I read the news for a living, and most days humanity disgusts me. Then along comes something that melts my self inflicted shell. My faith in mankind will never cease, it just needs a polishing sometimes. Thank you, thank you, a thousand times for reminding me ......

[@brucekkaye6717]

you little softie .... whoops, meee too. What a wonderful video which WILL be shared with my friends. Thank you Sharon

[@czarnyRIP]

IWhen I watched this movie for the first time extremely overwhelmed me ... However, I have not watched it more times ... Today I remembered about it after a year ... probably already watching it 20 time and still I can not stop, or cry, or listen to the music and most importantly the reigns over and over on his admiration In relation message of this video ... I'm REALLY impressed. Great respect for you Sharon Wright really. Congratulations from Poland....

[@Versacici]

This Makes Me Change The Way I Look At People . Very Very Touching .

[@mariellefrommconlinebizz5787]

AWESOME video!!!!!! Someone who doesn't get touched by this is is probably not a human being!! So touching it reminds us that no matter what our situation is you can always do something to help someone else. No matter what the appearances are, this man is a pure angel!!!

[@serpiusgirl]

I attended The VCCS Leadership Converence over this pass weekend, and we watched this video.. This video warms my heart and renews my faith in humanity!! :) Thank You!!

+HiTechOilCo who?

[@HiTechOilCo]

An angel.

[@IslandQuest7]

I feel so 'Blessed' right now... This amazing little short, was so transforming and uplifting that I am literally in tears (of 'Joy') for words cannot describe how heart-warming this piece actually is and what it brings to the table for those who need encouragement, in order to reconfirm and know that if we simply put our 'TRUST' in the Lord, and lean on him with all of our understanding, we will be taken care of! Undoubtedly, the man in the film is an Angel - Many have entertained Angels...
