With the protests in the US leaving behind massive damage, a teen in Buffalo, New York took it upon himself to clean the streets afterward.
When Antonio Gwynn Jr. saw the damage, he grabbed a broom, bought some trash bags and started cleaning the streets by himself.
According to CNN, He started at 2 a.m. on Monday and did not stop cleaning for the next 10 hours.
When an organized group of neighbors arrived later that morning to start clearing the damage, they found that Gwynn had already done most of the work.
When word spread of how Gwynn single-handedly took action, his community responded.
Matt Block saw Gwynn’s story on the news and decided to give him his prized 2004 red Mustang convertible.
Block, 27, told CNN the car is one he wanted since he was a child, but these days he is only using it occasionally.
He saw Gwynn ask for some car buying advice on Facebook, and Matt decided to offer up his sports car.
It turns out that gift has more meaning than Block ever imagined.
Gwynn’s mother, who passed away in 2018, also drove a red Mustang.
When he realized the coincidence, Gwynn says that he was so shocked he “didn’t have any words,” and Block says it gave him “goosebumps.”
Medaille College in Buffalo also offered him a full scholarship where he plans to study business starting this fall.
