*You need help carrying your bags? Chauncey Jones Black said something to this affect, when he offered to carry a man’s bags at a Memphis Kroger store he had taken the bus across town to …in hopes of getting someone from “the rich people’s Kroger” on Highland to buy him something to eat. The “something” he hoped for was a bag of donuts.

No telling how often young Mr. Jones depended on this strategy but…

Today was his lucky day.

He met Matt White.

Chauncey, as it turns out, lives with his mother; and the two of them were living in hard times. According to NewsOne, Black had told White that coming to the store was the only chance for him (and his mother) to eat that day.

White, a man with rock-star looks (not the drugged out kind), not only accepted the 16-year-old’s offer, but got to know him as the two of them shopped for food.

White learned all kinds of things about his new young friend that day. He learned that Jones was a straight A student; and had dreams of owning his own business one day, where he could help others in his neighborhood.

ABC World News Tonight caught up with the two new friends and watching the video (click over) will bring tears to your eyes. Chauncey can be your son or mine. But Matt treated him like his own. Its easy to see he’s just a kid trying to earn his way and make his mama proud.

White ended up taking his new friend home; where he saw first-hand all that Chauncey had described.
