Mike Tyson — “No one should feel invisible.”

In the early ’90s, Mike Tyson was walking through New York on a cold morning when he noticed a homeless man sitting alone on the sidewalk. People passed by without even looking at him.

Tyson stopped.

Instead of just handing him money, he said:
“Come on, let’s get you something to eat.”
They sat inside a diner, shared breakfast and talked like two regular men no cameras, no media.

But Tyson didn’t stop there.
He bought him clean clothes, a jacket, shoes…
and then paid a full week in advance for a hotel room so the man could sleep with dignity.

When a friend later asked him why he did all that, Tyson’s answer was simple:

“No one should feel invisible.”
