Christa Gomez : Jun 15, 2020  GODTV.com

"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." -Local businessman, Bob Briceland

Antonio Gwynn Jr started clearing the streets of his hometown, Buffalo, New York, at 2 a.m. Later that morning, neighbors arrived on the scene to clean the physical consequences of the protest only to find out the 18-year-old had beat them to it.

Rewarded with car and college scholarship

When Matt Block heard of Gwynn's selfless act, he decided to give him his 2004 red Mustang convertible. CNN reported that Block saw Gwynn "ask for some car buying advice on Facebook." So, he presented his Mustang since he only uses it occasionally.

Surprisingly, the car holds more significance for Gwynn. He revealed that his late mother drove a red Mustang, too. The coincidence left the teenager speechless and it gave Block "goose bumps".

After learning of Block's gift, local businessman Bob Briceland also decided to give a year of free auto insurance coverage through his insurance agency. "I just felt compelled to help him out," Briceland told CNN. "We just need to get together our whole city and show people how there's so many good people here."

Apparently, there's still more. The teenager's plan was supposed to go to trade school while saving up for college. But then, Medaille College in Buffalo turned out to offer Gwynn a full scholarship to study his preferred choice, business. He dreams to open a cleaning business of his own.

Gwynn said everything felt "surreal". He revealed that this is not his first time to help out as he enjoys doing community service. Regardless, he thanked everyone for their support. "I appreciate everything everyone is doing for me." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
