With the arrival of the holiday season, it becomes more important for us to care for those less fortunate in our community. A Youtube video of a man doing just that has become viral in past weeks, transforming into a kickstarter campaign for the homeless vet and offers of a home and job.

Major actions need to be taken in order to care for the thousands of homeless veterans in the U.S., but in the meantime, each of us can take a moment to show kindness to those who need it the most in our community.

When you are out buying thousands dollars worth of electronics and toys for your family, challenge yourself to give back to your community and the men and women who have served this country.

Watch.
