Explaining to ABC News, Aaron said
"I couldn’t just walk past him,. It was the right thing to do. I think it was because he was a similar age as myself. So I walked up to him and asked if he wanted some money and I gave him some change. You could tell he wasn't on drugs or anything. He was a normal lad. I noticed in his hand he had about 15 to 20 handwritten resumes and he insisted I took one. It was quite a sad read and, obviously, a cry for help. It took me 16 seconds to take the resume and post it on Twitter. That’s all it took to get him off the streets. It's quite rewarding for myself. I feel good about it."The man has been identified as Jordan Lockett, 20.
The resume, written on loose-leaf paper read, in part:
Need work Need help Seriously lost I'm so sick of wasting away now I'm always being told to go to homeless centres [sic] but there [sic] ] not helping I write my C.Vs like this because I don't have anything to put on it "The CV also said that he left school at 13 or 14, for his motorbike mechanic training.
O'Dwyer said.
"He was left with no skills and no grades, so he couldn’t go on to a university. That’s the reason why he said he's on the streets."

This is miraculous. For those hoping for something big to happen in their lives, tap unto the faith of this young lad and watch out for a turn around.
My God in heaven still answers prayers. praise be to his holy name. Praise! Praise!! Praise!!! Jehova Nissi. The I am that I am. Father of the fatherless, you have done it again. I will dance on this one in praise and worship. Linda please publish more Of these stories about humanity. it is uplifting to the spirit
That's a very good one. God bless the young man for the bold step.
The last 3 lines got me.
He makes what seems impossible to be possible. When it's time for God to remember you, He uses anyone anywhere and it will look like magic. Thank God for him. May God bless the helper too
One thing about the West, they help the les privileged.
Here in Nigeria, our Rich folks hardly care about the poor or jobless but flaunting their wealth on lib.
It's time that all this changed. I wanna hear of celebs helping people finish their education and getting the jobless employed not buying this car or that car and flying in private jets.
Let's change the way we live and let's change the way we treat each other - Tupac
Thank God he is off the streets.
Please check my blog, new post published.
Thanks

Putting a smile on someone's face a day goes a long way. It doesn't have to be about money. Reaching out and doing a kind deed. Also no matter our situation never give up. Keep on hoping and trusting in the Lord and He will answer your prayers one day. This story has really touched and motivated me this morning and I have made up my mind to do one kind deed each day.
This won't happen in Nigeria.
Awwwwww!
