A heartwarming story, something which went amiss over a week of national unrest due to the George Floyd homicide case, arose from the said national unrest in the most unnervingly unexpected manner possible. Antonio Gwynn Jr., teen from Buffalo, New York, has observed the severe amount of damage his neighborhood had to endure due to the looting and the civil unrest process that ravaged livelihoods.
He took action by organizing a group of willing neighbors who have joined hands to clean away the mess.
When the neighbors did arrive, however, they found the site of their objective already cleaned away for the most part by the high school senior, who is now 18 years of age. He said in an interview he did the deed because people needed to use the neighborhood street in the morning to commute to work.
Community response have been explosive, to say the least, in a heartwarming response to a warming heart presented by Gwynn.
Matt Block saw the post showing the teen’s deed and straightaway gave away his red Mustang convertible 2004. He saw Gwynn ask for some car buying advice on Facebook, and Matt decided to offer up his sports car. Local businessman Bob Briceland learned of Block’s deed, and decided to chip in by giving a year’s worth of free insurance and relative coverage.
“I just felt compelled to help him out. We just need to get together our whole city and show people how there’s so many good people here,” Briceland said in a media interview.
After high school, Gwynn was planning to go to a trade school while saving up to go to college in the unforeseeable future.
Upon hearing Gwynn’s story, Medaille College in Buffalo offered him a full scholarship where he plans to study business starting this fall. One of his many career goals is to open a cleaning business, incidentally. Although it has been the first of its kind in his life that he received something of this magnitude for his deeds, Gwynn is not a one time community volunteer who just got lucky this one time.
He is the member of his school’s Kappa Phi where he has been committed to community service, while also partaking in his deed at church. Gwynn said in response to all the attention and the gifts: “I appreciate everything everyone is doing for me.
