Homeless Man Is Counting Change At Chick-fil-A When 3 Teenagers Give Him Bags Of New Clothes

3 teenage boys were eating at Chick-fil-A when they saw a homeless man counting his change on the table. The teens left the restaurant, but returned a short while later with a video camera and some bags and headed straight towards him.

It was a quiet afternoon when Ryan Cook and his two friends grabbed a bite at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Corpus Christi, Texas. The three teenage boys looked over and saw a homeless man sitting at a nearby table. The man, Eddie, was counting change and seemed to be struggling to find enough money for a meal.

Eddie had a worn Bible on the table, along with a photo of Jesus Christ.  The Chick-fil-A staff said Eddie came into the restaurant often, but he hardly ever asked for handouts — except for when it came to feeding his beloved dog, Socks. Any food Eddie receives goes to Socks first, and he frequently walked in looking for water to fill the dog’s bowl.

On that night, however, things were about to take a surprising turn for Eddie and Socks. The three teenage friends — Ryan, Joshua, and Alberto — bought Eddie a number of gift cards to Chick-fil-A.

However, they decided that wasn’t enough just yet.

The teens left the restaurant and went over to Dick’s Sporting Goods. They spent $50 on a brand-new jacket, a winter hat, three shirts and a first-aid kit. Dick’s also donated $20 and some extra display items for the act.

Ryan started recording the moment on his cell phone as they walked back inside the restaurant. There was Eddie, still sitting at the table and counting his change.

Eddie’s reaction, recorded in the clip below, is something everyone should love. “Just setting an example for everyone else,” Ryan wrote on Facebook. “Be selfless and do good for others, then the world would be a better place for everyone. Felt the need to post this to inform others to do better, not to gain anything from it.”
