A recent heartwarming gesture by YouTuber Juan Gonzalez, known for his channel ThatWasEpic, has won the hearts of many viewers. In his latest Halloween-themed video, Gonzalez dresses in playful costumes and embarks on an early trick-or-treating journey, surprising those who give him candy by paying their rent. This kind act resonated deeply with social media users.
In the video, when Gonzalez visits a woman’s home and requests candy, she replies, “You’re a little early.” He humorously responds, “Yeah, it’s a little safer today than actual Halloween day.” After she hands him candy, he surprises her by giving her cash for her rent, which leaves her visibly emotional. She shares her struggles, mentioning that it has been a tough day for her due to the passing of her dog.

As Gonzalez continues his adventure, he encounters a mix of reactions. At one home, residents apologize for not being able to answer the door, while another homeowner mentions they aren’t celebrating Halloween this year. Initially, a man seems to share a similar sentiment but ends up accepting Gonzalez’s offer after a brief conversation, ultimately handing him a jar that looks like Nutella.
In a particularly touching moment, a couple gives Gonzalez candy but refuses the money, stating they don’t have a mortgage or rent and that the funds could benefit someone in need.
Later in the video, Gonzalez revisits a house where a man he met earlier reveals that he had previously given money to his grandfather. Nevertheless, Gonzalez still pays him the rent amount while accepting candy in return.
Posted just a day ago, the video has quickly gained traction, garnering over 450,000 views. The comment section reflects a variety of reactions from viewers.
One user commented, “That first lady was so nice. OMG, I hope she gets all the love she deserves!”
Another wrote, “It’s good we made Juan famous, he totally deserves it honestly!!! Best humble YouTuber out there.”
