Mr. Beast builds homes for impoverished families
In the video posted on the digital creator’s YouTube channel, he highlighted the first family to whom he gave a home stops in Jamaica. He stated, “Every house will change the life of a family. Like this family who didn’t have a home to call their own.” After James told the family to remove their blindfolds and turn to look at their “brand new house”, the family matriarch shouted. The family then walked around, exploring their new home. “There is a room,” the boy shouted excitedly. The father shared, “I always wanted him to have a bunk bed. And my dream came true.”
Mr. Besta stated: “I’m glad they’re happy.” He added, “We are improving the quality of life for families who do not have a safe space to call home.”
He also noted that they “spent millions of dollars…”building (the) houses.”
Additionally, Donaldson shared the story of a family living in unsafe conditions on top of a mountain. It was so unstable that it could collapse at any moment. A man built his family’s house with boards and materials that he carried on his head up the steep hill. Mr. Beast “sent the family on a mini vacation”, and when they returned they saw their new home fully furnished. “It was very difficult, and you changed my life,” the man said through tears to Mr. Beast.
Additionally, a Jamaican woman and her children received a brand new home after the roof of their original home flooded when it rained. Her children would get soaked and unable to sleep when this happened. Now, they had a dry, warm space to call home. She also traveled to El Salvador and built a community of homes for families whose homes were destroyed every year by flash floods.
What a good deed! Oprah, Mr. Beast definitely outdid his 2004 car giveaway. You have 24 hours to respond.
