A YouTuber in the US has taken the Internet by storm after he took an initiative to distribute $2021 (1.5 lakh) to random strangers on the street amid the difficult times of the coronavirus pandemic. Juan Gonzalez, the host of That Was Epic on YouTube, was seen handing the unsuspecting strangers bundle of cash in a kind gesture that earned him laurels on the internet. In the nearly 10 minutes video that he shared on his official YouTube channel ‘ThatWasEpic’, which has now garnered 798,603 views, the celebrity digital creator was seen approaching random pupil on the street and helping them financially to bring them some happiness as they ring in the new year, 2021. 

“Giving People $2021 To Start Off The Year”, Gonzalez, renowned for making his fans happy by routinely giving away handouts like the popular YouTuber Mr. Beast, wrote in the video’s caption. The kind-hearted YouTuber was seen communicating with the strangers as he introduced himself first and then extended financial help of $2021, asking the strangers to make 2021 as their year. Upon receiving the cash, the recipients' demeanor changes as they were seen smiling and glistening with joy after receiving cash from Gonzalez.

I don't have rent money for tomorrow,” one can be heard saying in the footage.
