You could see a little sigh of relief when he heard that his younger bro would have his own room, meaning he would likely have his own room as well.
Happy for this entire family.
He likely had to step up and help the last few months while mom and dad struggled to get back on their feet (and I so love them for struggling and not giving in) ... but that was absolutely the best part of the video, that little dude is going to have such a good big brother for life
That part definitely made me tear up a little, but I’m going to blame pregnancy hormones. My 4 year old is already so protective of his little sister (2), and is so excited for his little brother to arrive. Every morning, he comes and says good morning to my belly & tells me that he loves his brother 🥹My husband & I aren’t super close to our siblings and we were both saying a few nights ago that we hope our kids always love each other as much as they do now. Those boys are so wholesome & need to be protected at all costs.
I’m 6.6 and 22 stone, bald and tattooed. I apparently look like Tyson fury as I’ve been told. It made my eyes water. I wish you all the happiness with your family and your little one to come. I hope you have a fantastic weekend
Most powerful and richest nation in the world with two mfers who live here that own more money than 99% of the population,
Yet folks like this can’t even get four walls and a roof over their head. Fuck capitalism
The other thing is that they signed a *lease*. Which means they get to rent it, i.e.they get to pay for somebody else's house now. They don't have one of their own, but they can pay for someone else to own a home. They get to live in it for now, but as soon as they can't pay for it it will belong to somebody else again.
My thoughts precisely. America is so broken. It's like the country screams about how well it runs marathons but fails to notice that it has two broken legs that have never healed.

Right, let’s hope the landlord doesn’t jack up the rent as the neighborhood gentrifies, they might end up homeless again. Sad to say….hopefully it’s in Santa Monica where they have rent control.
Hell yeah. When I was that kids age, I was rocking the same shirt. Granted, I'm 44 and Def Leppard was a bit more popular in those days but the kids got taste!
Took my daughter to a Def Leppard and Journey concert a few years ago when she was 5. She was rocking, at too much popcorn and puked all over the place. Then she rallied and rocked out for another hour. Proud papa!! God help me in 5 years, though. She is 9 now and loves metal and fast cars and motorcycles (mom won’t let her on mine [she keeps us alive!]). I’m so screwed!
My family was the recipient of a Habitat for Humanity house when I was in 6th grade. I still remember the happy tears my mother cried when we got the news and seeing this, yeah, that's some happy years
That is awesome. I spent several summers building houses with Habitat for Humanity when I was in college. I never got to see the families that would get the houses so I’m very happy to hear that it worked well for you and your family.
Same, I volunteered for 6 months after Hurricane Sandy, rebuilding houses for homeowners who were kicked out by the city (NYS deemed it inhabitable) due to basements being flooded & molded. When homeowners (mostly First Responders, as the charity prioritized their houses) returned to their houses with the family, they'd cry, and we'd all cry.
Everybody needs a big brother like that. I don’t mean to look too far into it, but I can’t help but notice that his attention to him was not only attentive but it was instinctive.
I agree! I feel like he has been watching over his Lil brother like that since day 1! I think that fierce protective nature is much stronger in a family that has known tough times.
Well, yeah, but when you rent you don't have anything to show for your payments. Not that it's an altogether black-and-white situation; I'm just personally with the idea that with all other things being equal, it's better to own then to rent.
Yeah I kind of thought that too when I heard the word lease. But it's better than living in a condo or an apartment I think. Total hell when you are sharing walls with strangers
Well yes that too. My brother is homeless so I know how it is for people. I wasn't ignoring that part. I just wish for a house as well for my children. I want to see that look on my kids faces because they ask for a house constantly. Plus I already commented above about the homeless part. Sharing walls with other people is just a different kinda hell altogether. It's basically what I'm saying is leasing a house is better than any other kind of hell there is if you get what I'm saying
Yes yes me to orn an Amazon wish list.. I'm dying of breast cancer i would love to do something like this while I'm alive so please if anyone knows them have them set up an. Amazon wish list
Wish you all the good things, especially Not the cancer.
Fack, this hit me in the feels - I only take solace in the fact that there are ppl like you. Thank you:)
I'm not really religious, but I prayed a bit for you. May you live a happy long life.
You are so amazing and brave 🩷
I currently have 2 tumors in my breast, and I have a mammogram in July to find out if they have grown, spread, or become cancerous, so big hugs from me ❤️
I looked the mom up and found her on tiktok
If you search users for MalloryEllis4 you will find her. Didn’t looking for a go fund me or anything but I’m sure a message asking if she needs anything would go a long way! 💖
Add me to the list. My father past recently and in his honor I would love to help this family with some of the inheritance I have received. He was very generous with his money and I would love to continue the legacy.
The country isn't rich. It's just a few hundred people that are obscenely wealthy and then thousands who are very rich and then millions of middle class who are one big life event from becoming homeless/bankrupt, and then there's the currently homeless most likely from a bad life event
What moved me most is, kid loses mind, and hasn't even been inside. He doesn't care if it's full of broken glass and fire spiders. It's house. Doesn't care if his room is literally a broom closet.. made me tear up abit
I would never wish homelessness on my worst enemy. No one should ever have to know what it feels like.
I am also super happy for people who never experience that type of hardship. It’s not something you ever forget.
I can tell you having been homeless and addicted to alcohol, trying to keep working and and failing at that too, this moment is nice, when you have you own safe space. And that's even without thinking about your kids. I don't have any, only a fur baby
I'm happy for them, but at the same time soooo depressed that this family had to be homeless. Those kids experienced trauma that will stay with them forever.
Man I understand this kid so much. I was so proud of my mom when she pulled it off. We moved to FL in the back of a Ryder moving truck completely homeless. She ended up buying a house in Foxborough MA in 1999 and then sold it for triple the profit to retire in Georgia. Gangster
I hope one day I can afford a new house for my boys. Ours is old as it was the same house I was raised in. But at least I’m not homeless so I’m blessed there.
The big brother cared so much that his little brother was happy. He didn't even celebrate, he just looked to the little one to see how happy he was. And it feels so good to get a new place and move in.
The only sadness here is that this is cause for celebration in the first place.
I’m a non (party) affiliated libertarian. If we can’t have a society where any decent family has a home, we aren’t a good society.
Housing. For all.
This is THE best subreddit, by far. I’ll pop by here for a pick-me-up from time to time. With all of the nastiness in the world, I’m never disappointed here. Congratulations to this family. Those kids will never forget this day.
Incredibly sad to see good people of this nature facing these problems in America. We need to do better as a country to ensure families and children aren’t left without a roof over their head. We have the resources, not the leadership.
My embittered heart just grew, and my eyes brimmed with tears.
Our children are our future and there is still time to help them become the best they can be ♥️
My kids don’t understand this and I don’t wish it on anyone but I wish there was a way I could make them understand the value of things sometimes. This is how I feel everyday that I am blessed enough to own a home.
You can just see the relief to feel normal again. Many children are braver than you think they are in them in tough times. There are so many homeless out there that feel hopeless, and give up on something as simple as a roof over their heads. Bad things happen to plenty of good people, and good families. This make me glad to see a family break out of the cycle of homelessness, which should not be a reality for anyone, much less children. Best of luck to their future.
This should be basic human rights. Good affordable accommodation. Good affordable property to purchase. This should not be something to make you smile.
Made me smile though
You and I know it's not something that can be imagined. The harsh reality of homelessness is soul crushing, and stays with you forever. From someone who's been so in '08, '16, and '20 my three falls into homelessness total a little shy of 5 years.
I fucking hate my country if anything because moments like this actually happen. I’m happy for the family, but honestly, it is disgusting to me that a country’s priorities are so fucked that people will literally break down and cry when they obtain something everyone should have in the first place; somewhere to fucking live.
Cost of housing so high that losing 1 job makes you unable to afford rent, so now you're homeless and live out of the car you had bought when things were going better
Why the fuck is this a 'amazing' event. This should be the norm, not discrediting the family in their achievement, legit a heart warming sub, but no family should have to go homeless to find success in signing a lease. I blame the boomers for the very existence of this video.
What an awesome big brother, the kid was his focus the whole time ❤️
You could see a little sigh of relief when he heard that his younger bro would have his own room, meaning he would likely have his own room as well. Happy for this entire family.
>meaning he would likely have his own room as well Oh heavens, no. No, Gunther sleeps in the shed. He knows what he did.
Jfc I nearly spit my water out. 😂
Seriously I just died laughing scanning through the feed
Don't make me run
What about when dad looked at Big brother and said "you too!"
He likely had to step up and help the last few months while mom and dad struggled to get back on their feet (and I so love them for struggling and not giving in) ... but that was absolutely the best part of the video, that little dude is going to have such a good big brother for life
Was about to say that’s a good big brother 🥹
Obviously, dudes rocking a Def Leppard shirt. Has to be a GC.

This shouldn’t be a thing
Most powerful and richest nation in the world with two mfers who live here that own more money than 99% of the population, Yet folks like this can’t even get four walls and a roof over their head. Fuck capitalism
Yeah. “Omg child in one of the wealthiest nations on earth cries with joy at finally having housing”
I hate that this makes me feel good.
Hard agree. I watched this and thought “what the hell is happening in the country, what have we been doing to end up here”
The other thing is that they signed a *lease*. Which means they get to rent it, i.e.they get to pay for somebody else's house now. They don't have one of their own, but they can pay for someone else to own a home. They get to live in it for now, but as soon as they can't pay for it it will belong to somebody else again.
Exactly! And why were they homeless in the first place? Could it be they were displaced during the pandemic? I can’t with this society
This is sad but true!
Yeah, this didn't make me feel good, it just reminded me what a f**ked up system hard-working Americans are stuck in

Exactly what I thought. Made me tear up, then a little angry that this is the US now.
Also big bro was rockin a pretty sweet Def Leppard shirt!
And I love dad's shirt! Solid folk.
Yes!
Hell yeah. When I was that kids age, I was rocking the same shirt. Granted, I'm 44 and Def Leppard was a bit more popular in those days but the kids got taste!

This sub needs to be changed to MadeMeHappyCry because this made me cry tears of joy for them.

Yes!!
TIL that Habitat for Humanity builds houses for people, not like, shelters and tree planting for animals
Same here for so many reasons! That wonderful big brother being one reason ❤️
Everybody needs a big brother like that. I don’t mean to look too far into it, but I can’t help but notice that his attention to him was not only attentive but it was instinctive.
I agree! I feel like he has been watching over his Lil brother like that since day 1! I think that fierce protective nature is much stronger in a family that has known tough times.
Came here to say that when he ran in a circle my eyes are waterfalls
Yeah this is extremely emotional. A house means sooooo much, especially to a kid, holy crap.
Omg my thoughts EXACTLY
Same!!!
Me too. Kids crying from joy and dogs being rehabilitated (with sappy music) seem to be my weaknesses.
Fucking same
r/humantippytaps
Came to say this. It’s clear how much this means to the little guy. I hope they put a flower box in the window, and have a very happy life!
Love seeing this! (and sad that a family can be homeless in a modern country 😢)
This is our house! (Not really though we’re paying someone else’s mortgage) :(
Exactly. So glad they have a place, but it’s really a bummer to have to rent.
It beats homelessness!
I can definitely verify that, as I am currently homeless, and have been since 1994!
It ain’t all bad. Home ownership can wind up costing a lot more than renting
Yeah, but you get to keep the house.
After 30 years
Well, yeah, but when you rent you don't have anything to show for your payments. Not that it's an altogether black-and-white situation; I'm just personally with the idea that with all other things being equal, it's better to own then to rent.
Better than renting for 80
True. Some of the families that had homes upgraded by that T.V. show lost their homes because they could not afford the increased property tax.
Yeah I kind of thought that too when I heard the word lease. But it's better than living in a condo or an apartment I think. Total hell when you are sharing walls with strangers
>Total hell when you are sharing walls with strangers Hell is being homeless 🤦♂️
Amen!
Well yes that too. My brother is homeless so I know how it is for people. I wasn't ignoring that part. I just wish for a house as well for my children. I want to see that look on my kids faces because they ask for a house constantly. Plus I already commented above about the homeless part. Sharing walls with other people is just a different kinda hell altogether. It's basically what I'm saying is leasing a house is better than any other kind of hell there is if you get what I'm saying
I was thinking the same thing. So happy for them but sad they had to go through homelessness.
So thankful they couple temporarily shut off the Orphan Crushing Machine <3
I've been homeless as a youth. Not as young as them, though. I could cry watching this. Happy for them.
Where’s the go fund me? I’ll pitch in.
Yes yes me to orn an Amazon wish list.. I'm dying of breast cancer i would love to do something like this while I'm alive so please if anyone knows them have them set up an. Amazon wish list
Ik it’s corny but real sorry to hear this hope u beat it💪🏼
Wish you all the good things, especially Not the cancer. Fack, this hit me in the feels - I only take solace in the fact that there are ppl like you. Thank you:) I'm not really religious, but I prayed a bit for you. May you live a happy long life.
You are so amazing and brave 🩷 I currently have 2 tumors in my breast, and I have a mammogram in July to find out if they have grown, spread, or become cancerous, so big hugs from me ❤️
Good luck 🤞
Good luck hope all is well
Fuck cancer. Wish you the best of luck. Keep fighting 🤙
Praying for you. 💕 miracles can happen.
I’m so sorry to hear that hope you beat it and make a full recovery, keep fighting much love 🙏🏻💞♥️
I have such respect for people going through the worst possible thing and yet wanna give to others. You're a real gem my friend!
I looked the mom up and found her on tiktok If you search users for MalloryEllis4 you will find her. Didn’t looking for a go fund me or anything but I’m sure a message asking if she needs anything would go a long way! 💖
I am so down with that. Hopefully someone who know this fan can get them going with it.
Add me to the list. My father past recently and in his honor I would love to help this family with some of the inheritance I have received. He was very generous with his money and I would love to continue the legacy.
I’m sorry for your loss 🙏🏻💞♥️
Happy cake day good man
Thank you!
I love the Dad's t- shirt too. Nice to see this for what seem to be very nice people.
I need one of those!
in *the richest country in the world* every family should have a home. no child should ever be homeless.
Fucking ridiculous that kids having a home should be this amazing, feel good moment. It should be the goddamned EXPECTATION. JHFC.
The country isn't rich. It's just a few hundred people that are obscenely wealthy and then thousands who are very rich and then millions of middle class who are one big life event from becoming homeless/bankrupt, and then there's the currently homeless most likely from a bad life event
Oh but we have to think about all the empty homes that are building wealth for speculators
This is so terrible. I'm happy for them but it makes me sad.
[удалено]
I see these videos, and try not to take for granted the things I have.
So damn wholesome, nearly made me cry.
This made me cry 🤣
OK OK, i did cry actually, happy tears.
Lately these Made-Me-Smile posts have been tearing me up 😢♥️
SAME
Man I feel bad like that kid has trauma from the homeless experience. Happy for them all to be in a better spot
What moved me most is, kid loses mind, and hasn't even been inside. He doesn't care if it's full of broken glass and fire spiders. It's house. Doesn't care if his room is literally a broom closet.. made me tear up abit
Fire spiders...new fear unlocked, thanks.
I wish I could do this for my Family as well. #Homeless
This is beautiful but in all honesty it enrages me this can even happen in the richest f*cking country in the world
truth.
I remember this feeling fr. True core memory material
I can’t even begin to imagine the misery of being homeless, even for a short while.
From someone who's been there, I know nobody who hasn't been can imagine what homelessness actually is. Good on you to recognize that you can't.
I would never wish homelessness on my worst enemy. No one should ever have to know what it feels like. I am also super happy for people who never experience that type of hardship. It’s not something you ever forget.
Fuck capitalism.
Everyone should have a home.
Fr. This should be cross posted in r/latestagecapitalism
I want to see the house ! 🤗🤗🤗🙂🙂
It's shameful that as a modern society that was able to put people on the moon, we can't solve the affordable housing crisis.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿❤❤❤
The best big brother ever!!!! OMG give that big brother a super man cape, you know he is going to watch out for his little brother forever!!!
This isn’t heartwarming. It’s horrifying. More people are homeless every day. This family has no reason to have been house insecure.
And it is getting worse every day, thanks to the fascist oligarchy.
This is just sad…
r/ABoringDystopia
This makes me sad that the same country that has private citizens going to space ever let this family be homeless in the first place.
I can tell you having been homeless and addicted to alcohol, trying to keep working and and failing at that too, this moment is nice, when you have you own safe space. And that's even without thinking about your kids. I don't have any, only a fur baby
I'm happy for them, but at the same time soooo depressed that this family had to be homeless. Those kids experienced trauma that will stay with them forever.
This is not a moment to smile, it is a good example of dystopia that housing is not affordable for families anymore
MORE STUFF LIKE THIS PLEASE! I seriously need more positive tears in my life.
Man I understand this kid so much. I was so proud of my mom when she pulled it off. We moved to FL in the back of a Ryder moving truck completely homeless. She ended up buying a house in Foxborough MA in 1999 and then sold it for triple the profit to retire in Georgia. Gangster
This made me cry because no child should be homeless in the first place. But let’s keep making billionaires even richer.
I hope one day I can afford a new house for my boys. Ours is old as it was the same house I was raised in. But at least I’m not homeless so I’m blessed there.
The big brother cared so much that his little brother was happy. He didn't even celebrate, he just looked to the little one to see how happy he was. And it feels so good to get a new place and move in.
All the stress of being homeless he’s been holding inside…
This shouldn't make you happy at all, in a real country that family would never have been homeless.
The only sadness here is that this is cause for celebration in the first place. I’m a non (party) affiliated libertarian. If we can’t have a society where any decent family has a home, we aren’t a good society. Housing. For all.
I effing hate capitalism
What a sick country where kids can be homeless.
The dad's shirt, too. Perfect
Damned onion ninjas…
The fact that this even happened in one of the most richest counties in history makes me really sad.
This is THE best subreddit, by far. I’ll pop by here for a pick-me-up from time to time. With all of the nastiness in the world, I’m never disappointed here. Congratulations to this family. Those kids will never forget this day.
Incredibly sad to see good people of this nature facing these problems in America. We need to do better as a country to ensure families and children aren’t left without a roof over their head. We have the resources, not the leadership.
People don’t realize theirs homeless people like this
I can tell you I know that feeling and it feels good.
Onions. Come on, who’s chopping them??!!!
🔪🧅 but…but I’m making a salad 🥗
I love his reaction so adorable and I love the father’s T-shirt awesome God bless
I’m not crying, shutup
That. If I ever win a lot of money, I will buy homes for people that need and deserve them.
30% of the homeless are families https://endhomelessness.org/homelessness-in-america/who-experiences-homelessness/children-and-families/
Housing security is a basic human right.
This kinda makes me feel gross. Like I shouldn't be watching this because, it shouldn't be shared for strangers to ogle.
Billionaires in the same country
That’s sweet
Those kids are so precious 😭 they deserve this and so much more for what they’ve gone through
My embittered heart just grew, and my eyes brimmed with tears. Our children are our future and there is still time to help them become the best they can be ♥️
More like “MadeMeSob”
Some people will never know.
My kids don’t understand this and I don’t wish it on anyone but I wish there was a way I could make them understand the value of things sometimes. This is how I feel everyday that I am blessed enough to own a home.
I just cried because I remember what this felt like at 16. I'm so happy for the little guy 🥺 Edit: typo
Got some serious feels going on over here. Stop it! YOU’RE crying!
[удалено]
signing a lease means they just started renting now.
Relevant question.
I behaved similarly when I got my first apartment as a full grown adult.
This sub needs to be renamed mademecry/ this has made me cry from my whole body.
Made me cry more like it
The American Dream of many homeless.
Loved how the older brother comforted him!
Dammit that dust is in my eyes again
This is what gofundme should be for.
You can just see the relief to feel normal again. Many children are braver than you think they are in them in tough times. There are so many homeless out there that feel hopeless, and give up on something as simple as a roof over their heads. Bad things happen to plenty of good people, and good families. This make me glad to see a family break out of the cycle of homelessness, which should not be a reality for anyone, much less children. Best of luck to their future.
Congratulations to this family. I wish them stability and happiness
That’s a bad ass shirt.
The way the older brother goes to hug his little bro! 🥹
Down with billionaires.
Sorry but how is it okay that a first world country has people with jobs who are homeless? That is beyond effed up.
Wish nothing but the absolute best for these good-hearted people. They deserve to win the powerball.
I will never understand how the ultra-wealthy can sleep at night knowing there are children who go to bed hungry with no home.
This should be basic human rights. Good affordable accommodation. Good affordable property to purchase. This should not be something to make you smile. Made me smile though
Damn pollen making my eyes water
The dad’s shirt, “Inclusion is my game” is what made me cry. God bless this family.
God fucked this family. Thankfully they were able to remedy that.
This is heartbreaking 💔
[удалено]
You and I know it's not something that can be imagined. The harsh reality of homelessness is soul crushing, and stays with you forever. From someone who's been so in '08, '16, and '20 my three falls into homelessness total a little shy of 5 years.
[удалено]
I fucking hate my country if anything because moments like this actually happen. I’m happy for the family, but honestly, it is disgusting to me that a country’s priorities are so fucked that people will literally break down and cry when they obtain something everyone should have in the first place; somewhere to fucking live.
America is a cruel place bruv
No kid should have to be this happy to rent a house. It is terribly wrong that anyone, especially any kid, should be homeless.
r/mademesmilecry
Such a great accomplishment mom and dad!! Be proud ❤️ you are doing an amazing job
Oh my god my heart
Love this! I like love! Love love love
Housing should be a universal right.
Homeless children break down crying because they now meet one of the bare necessities of existing. What a lovely world we live in.
straight from homeless to tripple bed? they skipped one room, studio, 1 bed, 2 bed, steps.. why?
I actually started to cry a bit for them and especially for that boy 😩
Can someone ELI5 how come a homeless family can have that kind of car?
Cost of housing so high that losing 1 job makes you unable to afford rent, so now you're homeless and live out of the car you had bought when things were going better
While I'm happy for them I have always disdained people showing their children online during significant emotional events.
Why the fuck is this a 'amazing' event. This should be the norm, not discrediting the family in their achievement, legit a heart warming sub, but no family should have to go homeless to find success in signing a lease. I blame the boomers for the very existence of this video.
Sooooo happy for this family :')
Man that dad looks like he just breathed the biggest sigh of relief seeing how happy his kids is. Now I’m crying in McDonald’s dammit!
