SoCal TikTok influencer working to help homeless man with 3 sons get off the streets
A TikTok influencer with over 3 million followers is using her platform to help a local homeless man and his three young children.met Hugh and his three sons a week ago. She spotted them while she was visiting a park in West Hollywood and observed how they were struggling in the summer heat.
"I said why don't I get you a motel for a few nights and maybe we can make a fundraiser page and get the community to come together," she recalled."It was excruciating," Hugh said. "The babies, they were stressed. ... We were suffering a lot." Hugh would stay awake at night to watch over his children and would see the boys wake up with bloody noses from the heat."Today it feels like a miracle," Hugh said. "It's like a miracle because last week we were suffering.""Most of the donations have been just $5 to $10. So your daily Starbucks," Olson said. "Or just taking a little bit of money to give to a good cause. We also ask anyone who is a little more blessed or fortunate to donate what they can.
Now they're setting their sights on the future - working to get Hugh a job and get the family into an apartment. "The goal is to set them up long term so then they don't have to be out on the streets looking for money," Jackie said."We know it's going to be alright eventually because if you do good it comes back to you," Hugh said. "I tell my kids to think good and try to do good. And stay happy, stay joyful."
