40:00 onwards, you could see that family were basically just making ends meet and she was so considerate offering the visitors pie, drinks and even string cheese! She only has a little but, she was so willing to share. Lovely.

I love how he doesn’t force a reaction out of people. Some people appreciate it a lot but can’t express like me.

To me there's nothing more heart grabbing / powerful than a spouse taking care of their disabled spouse. Its such a mental & physical challenge and its just so impressive to see. Those are true hero's.

Why can't we have news channels that just have stuff like this?!? No politics, new negative stuff. Just nice things! I bet they'll get way more viewers

The family at 40:22 is killing me. They are literally living in a basement, and she is offering the presenters spaghetti. What a wonderful woman.
