I OWE MY LIFE to this man. @ambassador_brown you are and will always be my number one hero!
I left home two months after my 15th birthday. I had saved every $50 bill my grandparents gave me for my birthdays and Christmases. I hand crocheted cotton yarn dishcloths (even tho everyone called them potholders), even sold Avon and Tupperware. I was a little hustler. I had $1,250 to my name. That’s how much I began my life with. I didn’t know eating cost so much. Ramen noodles became my best friend. 29¢ a pack!
I met Jonathan who had also left home at 15, who also had A LOT of things in his story that were a lot like mine. He told me someone had helped him when he was young and he knew he needed to pay it forward. The only thing he ever asked of me was that I go on to do the same.
Jonny, I’ll never forget that day. On Lincoln Road and Collins Avenue. You were in your Range Rover. I was on my vehicle at the time: my bicycle. You said you were going to Europe for awhile but you felt like something was telling you to help me. I don’t know if even to this day I ever told you how I was crying at night because I had less than $100 left in my account and I wasn’t allowed a job for another year in the state of Florida. You reached through your car window and handed me a check. We talked for a few minutes then you drove off. I finally looked at the check. I had never seen THREE ZEROES on the left side of the decimal point on a check TO ME. Or to ANYONE for that matter. You gave me $1,000! You saved my life. You would go on to do that over and over and over again. You always told me to ask you if I ever needed anything, but perhaps you just knew I never would. Still you always showed up for me in ways that no one ever has RIGHT when I needed you most. I’ll love you forever. In this lifetime and the next.

Wow what a great human. Where can I get myself someone looking to pay it forward ? just lost my mother recently to lung cancer and am now looking after my little brother with Autism whilst also actively looking for a job to stay a float and get my college fees in by next month ☹ I'm studying media and want to direct my own shorts and one day shows and love writing so stories like this are very inspiring ❤❤.

Thats a very heart warming and fabulous story about you. I had a life experience same as you when I was homeless in the 1970's. But I never had anyone help me like you have. I am happy for you and hope you live a very happy life forever. Love you. I also Loved watching "Anniversary Nightmare" on Lifetime TV, you were awesome and I am going to see it again this afternoon, its on again. Love You! ???

Your story is truly inspiring, starting life the way you did and ending up being where you are right now is beyond amazing. This shows us once more that hard work pays off and this is something so many of us need to hear more often! You’re a huge inspiration in my life and i’m simply in awe. Beyond proud to call myself a fan of yours @theannalynnemccord ?

What an inspirational story as is Johnathon’s business piece. I am always pleased when people remember those who have been instrumental in who they grow up to be. Thank you for sharing such an important part of your life and for honoring Jonathon whom is a great Christian as are you. Gods Peace AnnaLynne!

This is such a wonderful story. Earlier this year, we took in a homeless classmate of my son’s (they were both seniors) and provided him with stability and love that his broken home couldn’t. He is thriving and preparing to attend college in the fall with my son - we love him and I call him my 3rd child.

I've been following your career ever since Naomi Clark and finding out about your heart of humanitarian, yet but I'm only hearing about this story now!? And i pretty much read most whatever life stuff falls my way about you. Nice story. ?? ⚡? #Goddess #SecretCrush @theannalynnemccord
