I'm not quite certain why people have taken such an interest into the finer details of my life after watching the video I made.
My religious beliefs, profession, motivation, age, name, ethnicity - to me all these details seem irrelevant. When I originally made the video I only intended for Facebook friends to see it, but then I decided to post it on Reddit on a whim - and from there things took on a life of their own.
The views began pouring in, the comments and messages didn't cease. I was in awe of the positive feedback I was getting, because I didn't expect or prepare for such a response.
I'm also in awe because I don't believe my gesture was so deserving of praise.
Don't get me wrong: I'm very grateful because it brings me immense joy to see so much positive energy circulating. To see people take away such a joyous feeling and to know that they are sharing that emotion with their loved ones makes me happy beyond words."[E]very time I'm asked about where I'm from or what religion I belong to, I am unable to answer for fear of distorting the message in the video."

That being said, every time I'm asked about where I'm from or what religion I belong to, I am unable to answer for fear of distorting the message in the video.
For me, this video isn't about who I am. It isn't even about my mother or the cheque I gave her. You know when you put religion, intention, money, age, ethnicity, and sex aside and you really look at what this video is about, I hope you come to realize that it's about one thing: Love, and showing your appreciation for that bond by helping someone you care about.
Whether that person is your sister, your father, your grandparents -- whoever it may be - I just hope that you do take the time to show your appreciation. I want to thank all the people who've taken the time to do just that, to help others find their smile.
The rest of the minor details are just that: minor, minuscule and irrelevant. The focus has always been and always will be, for me at least: Love.
