Homeless Man Lands Full-Time Job, Then Security Camera Catches Him Celebrating 1st Paycheck.

The touching moment a homeless man received his first week’s wages last week has gone viral for all the right reasons. The unnamed homeless man was just leaving the company office with a pocket full of money with a joy you don’t see every day. As he left the building, the man pumped his arms in excitement and all but skipped his way all the way to the bank. We all know that overcoming homelessness is no small task. 

The man was given the job by Central RPL in West Bromwich, UK not far from where he lives in a shelter. Aaron Doyle, who is a security guard at RPL, noticed the man’s excited celebration on camera and decided to share the beautiful moment with the rest of us. ‘It might seem like nothing to most, but this guy has really won me over. His reaction as he left was absolutely priceless,” Doyle said

According to Doyle, the homeless man had absolutely nothing before scoring the job. He gets food everyday from a local church, but never hesitates to share with his friends. Doyle explained, “Taking into account he doesn’t know where his next meal is coming from and doesn’t eat the best, every single morning he offers me a chocolate bar or some of his coffee.”
