Sanai Graden is a 21-year-old college student living in Washington , D.C. , who likes to vlog on TikTok while she does everyday things.

A homeless man asked her if she could help him get some tea, but she couldn't find him.

Graden started a GoFundMe for the man, who had no family and was suffering from prostate cancer.

Since then, thousands of people have donated to help him live comfortably.

This story is still developing and there are obviously a lot of complex details to work out as they get Alonzo settled with however much money the GoFundMe ultimately raises. No one wants Alonzo to lose his health benefits, and there are various financial as well as mental and emotional elements to consider as they move forward. But the power of the kindness of strangers to change someone's circumstances, starting with just one caring soul, is certainly worth celebrating. Follow @hustlanani on TikTok for updates on Unc .
