"Some people are stuck, they have no money. They need to live in that room," said Bruno Serato, a local chef and restaurateur. "They've lost everything they have. They have no other chance. No choice."
While "motel kids" are found across the United States, the situation is very common in Orange County, California, a wealthy community with high rents and a large number of old motels. In 2009, local authorities estimated that more than 1,000 families lived in these conditions.
When Serato learned that these children often go hungry, he began serving up assistance, one plate at a time. To date, he's served more than 270,000 pasta dinners -- for free -- to those in need.And a comments section that will shatter your freshly restored faith.
"the man is a saint & a failure. by substituting his generous efforts, the dum & lazy parents now get a free pass. the ultimate responsibility lies with parents & if they are too lazy to cook a $5.50 meal for 4, then parents should be punished."
"You feed the roaches and their spawn and they just gonna bring more "
"I can't believe people are naive enough to praise this clown. All this guy is doing is ensuring another few million anchorbabies to help displace more americans. These kids are probably already waving mexican flags while they take handouts in every direction. /bravo "
"If liberals want to subsidize someone else's bad decisions themselves, then so be it, more power to them. The problem is liberals always want someone else to fund their liberal agenda"
"I guess the illegal Mexicans who come here have good old Bruno to put food on the table for them, no need to worry about it. Scruw it let the stupid gringos do the work for us"
"The real story here is a host who is further enabling the parasites. The host pulled himself up from nothing yet the parasites just want to be enabled to be dependent on hosts indefinitely while raising their litters to do the same. "
"Anyone notice the mexican-looking girl with the gold earring? Hmm... so there is money for earrings, but not food? Just like black welfare baby-mommas buying their kids $100 shoes, when they can't even walk yet. I've seen the documentary - the parents are LOSERS! "
