As you see, the video shows a man literally giving the clothes off his back to someone in greater need. That man is 23-year-old Joey Resto, who told Eyewitness News
“It was freezing that night. He looked cold and hungry,”
“He looked so weak and frail. I had to help him, or he would not put it on,”
He added that he had invited the homeless man to come back with him to his apartment to get more clothes and also to come for something to eat, but he just “curled up and went to sleep”.
Although kindhearted Joey wasn’t looking for recognition, his good deed was caught on camera by a fellow passenger on the Downtown A train in Washington Heights, New York, from which he was identified. He has since appeared with the state governor, Andrew Cuomo, who praised him for his thoughtful actions.
People have been very moved by the clip.
THIS. IS. SO. BEAUTIFUL. https://t.co/oJDpKvyPK6

Like all these people at the NY Governor’s address, we think Joey deserves a standing ovation.
