Jeremy and Melissa, I’m a retired Marine and Federal Transportation Security Officer and these days you just do not see families like yours that much anymore. I was raised though the 50s and 60s in the country where people help one or the other. Our parents taught us right from wrong and to say yes ma’am, no ma’am or yes sir, no sir and never to talk back to your elders. I’ve been following your videos for sometime now and want to say the last two videos would make anyone cry and it shows the kind of family you really are. I wish the world had a lot more like you, because it would be such a much better world to live in. Wishing your whole family, a blessed and happy holiday and may the good Lord look over you always!

I've noticed that everytime i have done something to help someone out, without any expections of anything in return, I always walk away wondering who benefitted more? Wanna raise your vibration and fill your heart? Do something for somebody!

[@paulahurley6491]

I am the same way I always help anyone I can although I have nothing myself, people drop off their animals on my hill and they come to my house and I don't have the heart to see them ran over or hungry so I take them and idk how I've been able to feed them the last few years but God has always seen me through i still have 14 dog's and about 25 cats the shelter is always full but when they thin out they take ad many as they can, if it weren't for Tony at the shelter I wouldn't even be able to feed these baby's and they are my heart, I love animals and always have, I wanted to be a vet my whole life only after an accident it made it impossible, anyway I agree I just love helping any way I can and will continue till the day I am no longer here to help stray animals

Gospel of Jesus Christ John 3:16 For God So loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not Perish but have Everlasting Life. Jesus Christ Died for the sin of the World, If you believe in ur heart God risen Jesus from the dead and confess him with ur mouth to people you shall be saved. Jesus said I Am The only way to heaven there is no other way! Repent of urs sins (Repent means Change ur Mind turning away from sinful things and being truly sorry for it.) trust Jesus and give ur life to him He Loves you cares about you more than anyone ever will! we are saved By Grace Trough Faith!,this is sin: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the gift of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 For all have sined and felt short of the Glory of God. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:18‭-‬21‭, ‬23 KJV Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9‭-‬10 REPENT OR YOU WILL PERISH REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL GET RIGHT WITH GOD LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Fur babies mean a lot to everyone! I am 58 and a widow & I just put my 8 yr old cat to sleep after spending $8000. & I was told I was bringing him home and they found a cancerous tumor pressing on his bowels, urinary track and his knee. I could have been selfish and brought him home in pain but true love is unselfish and the hardest thing I ever had to do was to send him to heaven pain free.

Also, what can be said about this wonderrful family other than you have set a path for the rest of the world to follow and set your children to become incredible human beings. By the way, the husband, wow such a powerful voice and should be doing commercials or voice overs.

That veteran was so gracious. What a heart-warming act. I've done this a couple of times and it feels so good. Everyone should do this at least once so you can get that feeling! When I first did this I didn't have much to give, but I have reaped llfe's rewards.

[@Shinka666]

I did it a couple years ago at my local grocery store. I had the objective of giving out $1000 of Christmas dinners to elderly or single parents. I bought 8 families meals that day, and you're right it provides a feeling you wont get unless you do it. One of them really had me break down tho because it was a young woman with 3 kids, and I noticed she had a Marine Corps bracelet on, I asked if she served...she broke down on my shoulder and whispered in my ear that her husband was but the kids dont know that he's not coming home so be quiet. I paid for her stuff but I had to step away from the registers for a bit after that one.

[@britzel71]

I can't express how this touched my heart! I lost a 20 year job I worked so hard to move up in after my illness finally made it where I couldn't work anymore. Life has been a struggle so seeing these people being blessed filled my heart with so much joy. You and your family spent 3 entire days giving of yourselves to brighten others' life and the beauty that shined through your faces is stunning. God definitely was smiling over those days.

[@contentedspirit9022]

I had a similar experience. I was a critical care RN for over 20 years but illness forced me to go on disability. Also being a single mom with two special needs kids has made the struggle even harder. And it happened only two years after my daughter's daddy from complications after his fifth open heart surgery. Seeing these people be helped is beautiful and I'm sure Jeremy, Melissa and the kids have no idea just how much this impacts their lives and hearts. Just to know someone cares is a huge feeling. Thank you Souza family!!! ❤️

what a fantasy come true to be able to do that for people. I could only wish I could. Loveeeee it!!!!!Thank you for not just hoarding stuff but actually helping others.

[@lawyersgunsandmoney887]

I'm happy that you found older families that actually need help and not those living off the system........

[@treehuggingmusician595]

Made me cry. The sweetest was the little girl that wanted a hug after you gave her mom a hug. You were so blessed to be able to give away your winnings. It is always better to give than to receive.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

She was so stinken adorable 😍

[@martinquintana5837]

You all did something that is nonexistent anymore. I grew up in Hawaii and this is something that everyone does for others in the community. Watching this awesome video I shed a lot of tears knowing there's families and elderly people that needs help and you've done just that. Raising your children to share the Aloha spirit is so beautiful and awesome. I pray for more people like your family in this world and I want to especially pray for your Ohana for continued blessings. Aloha from Kansas

[@daleg324]

My allergies kicked up watching you share the love. I used to do this every thanksgiving and Christmas with my children. Great memories. Sadly I no longer have the income to do it on a large level. Dont get old folks.

[@mysyvon]

Just saw this 8-22-23. May God continue to bless you and your family and the other people who paid it forward❤😢

I am a 69 year old man and I cried through this whole video. To be able to make a difference in so many peoples lives is what I love to do.

[@kathleeneichler8906]

Oh WOW! So wonderful, what an amazing gift from the Corp. offices, to the random lady that shoved $200 into your backpack, proof that there is still goodness in abundance in our world. I have watched how you encourage your children by example and your follow through is second to none. May the joy that you have given out to 'strangers' now friends, continue to ripple across this great land. *U* Kathleen

[@ewanbaxter9199]

Wow. I did not know people like yourselves existed. Beautiful family with a heart of gold.

[@Elizaw342]

Any time I see someone doing random acts of kindness I’m usually a crying 😭 mess!! You guys are such beautiful people…let the joy flow 🎉love to your family and God bless!

[@patriciafuchs5970]

Well this is a tear jerker for the day. This is so lovely. I think seniors without families fear being able to care for themselves as much as struggling single parents do. This is so kind, your children will remember this forever. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@thopmsonsmith3256]

Hello Patricia How are you doing today?

[@Bobisocs]

God Bless your family. Thank you for showing what it means to pay it forward. You have given the best gift to your children.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you so much!

[@mrphoto776]

Well done Souzas! You made this 52 year old man cry like a little boy. You are such kind souls. And you are raising those kids right! Such a wonderful act of unbelievable kindness!

[@Khesler77]

The little girl in the basket reaching out for a hug was amazing. Her mother looked truly thankful for the help. Amazing example of selflessness from your entire family. I feel that many people would have kept the winnings for themselves. This video was an inspiration and a joy to watch! Merry Christmas all.

[@shawnvalencia8124]

This family is what America is all about. I am blown away, in tears. Thank you, may every twist and turn in life for you both be blessed.

[@kimberlythomas2927]

I LOVE this SO much!!! You and your family touched so many people in so many ways!!! What an AWESOME lesson for your beautiful children to learn!!! 💜🤗💜

[@napu2652]

The best part, is that they have their children with them……..what a teaching moment 💯🙏

[@nancyburns6442]

Teaching children to give to others is a vital life lesson. We give two checks to our children on their birthday. One doesn’t have a name on it and the child has to write the name of a charity to donate it too. Love this program.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

I love that!!

[@roxyanderson984]

Kindness does have a huge ripple effect. With just one small act of kindness. ❤❤

[@cariwalker7549]

My favorite part was seeing your children by themselves doing it! You’re teaching your children to give back to the community! They are going to grow up and be such wonderful human beings!!

[@shelleysalas5777]

I was crying like a baby through this entire video. You are raising exceptional children through your community service.

[@msjab1980]

I'm not crying, you are 😭😭 my husband is currently laughing at me 🤦🏻‍♀️ you guys are absolutely awesome ❤️

[@terriallen2537]

I adorable people like this! I've wished I had money to do this for others in need. Instead, I try to be kind, go the extra mile for others, I allow them to go before me in line, say Thank You and give smiles. I know it's not money but being kind goes a long way. You never know what others are going through. Treat people the way you want to be treated. It was so beautiful to see this family give back and for Safeway to match their winnings. AWESOME JOB😊😊😊

[@dillardnorg]

Thank you, Safeway, and Thank you to the Family for letting God work through you.

[@evalynchuran8684]

We need more people like you. Again, you made me cry through the whole video. In 2017 I lost everything, a retired policeman sold me his camper for 1700$ so I wouldn't freeze in Canada winters. In June, I was able to find an incompleted tiny home when I got back pay owed to me.

[@swayzy762]

Funny how the people who didn't need the free groceries for a year to begin with were the most optimal pair to put the contest prize to good use for others. You two truly were the most deserving of the prize simply because of how you used it. Bless and be blessed!

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

♥️♥️♥️

[@1Tibs1]

Amen, forgot I had emotions!

[@christinaajuria5195]

What a beautiful family you are raising; wish I lived in your community; you have inspired me to do more. thank you for your kindness and for showing us that there are still good people in this world; God Bless you and your family.

[@claireschroeder7289]

Hallelujah! Praise God! What a beautiful blessing I am not ashamed to say I was crying like a baby

[@barbaraspan1437]

So, beautiful. My heart is full. Your family and Safeway has brought holiday joy to so many watching and to those who received. Bless you all for meeting the needs of so many and for their prayers being answered through you. To the Veteran requesting you all to give to a family instead of him. Wow! I hope he get to see how special his gift turned out to be along with the $200 backpack giving bandit . You givers did well. Bless you all. Goodness is following you all. There is more to come.

[@camicri4263]

Yes! So beautiful! The veteran was such a great guy! 💞

[@TheHavasu_77]

Awe, the momma of five who lost a child made me cry big ugly tears. This was such a beautiful thing you did for everyone. ❤

[@ffox9556]

Awesome family. Anyone notice the changes in the eldest "child" from day one to the last day. She blossomed (magnolia) throughout that experiencce. Her self confidence and assurance exploded. Well done mom and dad.

[@Abcdeisner]

Love that they brought the kids along, they’re going to grow up with so much compassion for others in their hearts
