Teenager Laron “Ron Ron” Tunstill grew up in a bad neighborhood, but since working with non-profit homeless outreach organization PURP (“People Uplifting Real People”), he’s turned his life, his attitude, and his values around.
On a Labor Day outing, the teen came across a homeless man sitting on the ground wearing tattered shows, covered in holes. The boy’s heart went out to him. In silence, he sat down next to the man, untied his own shoes and handed them over. The homeless man was taken aback and initially refused, but Ron Ron was adamant. “He was poor. So, you know, I just did what I had to do,” Ron Ron explained, speaking to CBS News, who covered the story.
