God Bless these kids…

Great video. Shows there is still hope. Glad Mitchell kept calm.

Thanks for posting this, I'm one of the fans holding Mitchell up from the croud, he goes to my school and he is one of the most caring and heartwarming people I know. I've known him my whole life and me and the rest of El Paso are so gratefull y'all shared our story. KCCO and god bless.

Jonathan, your are parents must be very proud! They taught you well and you made a middle aged guy in Toronto cry! I loved everything about this story! I tip my hat to you!

well done #22, well done

thank you so much for posting this, I'm one of the students who stormed the court and picked up Mitchell, i grew up with him my whole life and if you only knew how much this means to him… though hes struggled throughout his life hes always managed to have a smile on his face. I'm so glad we were able to finally share his wonderful story across the nation. He is truely an inspiration to all of us. thank you chive, KCCO and god bless.

This was great. Two beautiful kids. One wanting so much to play and the other helping him to achieve his goal. Glad it was put on video so many can see the kids in our future are something to be very proud of .
