For three years, Victor Hubbard stood on a street corner - rain or shine - waiting for his mom to come back and get him. Every day, residents of Kemah, Texas, passed the man. Ginger Sprouse ... was admittedly one of those people. She probably saw Hubbard at least four times a day. Each time, she wondered why he was there. One day, in late December, she finally decided to roll down her window and ask. Hubbard began to talk about his history, explaining that his mom left him, hes been battling mental illness and he doesnt have a place to live. Sprouse felt for the man, and decided to share his story with the world - on a Facebook page called This is Victor. Slowly but surely, the page started to take off. Dozens of people volunteered to help the man, and Sprouse led the charge. She cooked meals, washed clothes, helped him set up appointments with a mental health professional and welcomed him into her home. Im so overwhelmed by the compassion by people, said Sprouse, as others volunteered to help. A few days later, she created a GoFundMe page, encouraging people to donate to help the sweet, gentle man get back on his feet. Within two months, Hubbard received more than $14,700 in donations. Fast forward three months later, nearly 9,000 people now follow This is Victor on Facebook to receive updates on his progress. He recently landed a job as a cook in Sprouses [food service company]. He cant help but wear a big smile on his face. She came around and she kind of saved me, Hubbard [said].
