A street vendor gets a huge gift from a stranger in California

Tweet

I admire the kind actions of 28 year old Kenia Barragan who met a tamale vendor in Santa Ana California named Jose Villa Ochoa who is 94 years of age who earns a small wage by selling tamales on the street. Jose who goes by the nickname Don Joel met Kenia one day at his workplace on the street. Don Joel who uses a wheelchair due to his age explained to Kenia that no one wanted to hire him to work. Don Joel told Kenia that the woman he works for pays him money based on the number of tamales he sells per day. It barely is enough for him to pay for his medicines. Kenia used the power of social media to raise over $80,000 dollars to assist Don Joel during his time of sorrow. Kenia used the money to buy Don Joel a new wheelchair and a pair of shoes out of the kindness of her heart which Don Joel appreciated beyond words since he felt wanted by a stranger. Kenia is hoping that other persons follow her example of assisting others in need in their own communities.
