[MattHeaven]

Just watched this on Vimeo.... AMAZING! What a selfless and thoughtful act. I turn 30 in March and you just inspired me. Mind if I borrow your idea Lucas??

[lucaslombardijatoba]

@MattHeaven Of course mate, go ahead! The objetive of making a video about it was to inspire people all around the world to copy the idea or do similar initiatives! :)

[LoiroTV]

[samanthapfeiffer7]

This is the best thing I have seen in a really long time and it actually made me cry the first time I saw it. The world needs more people like this. Great idea, I'm very glad you filmed it and I will be doing this for my next birthday :)

[jennypenny748]

@samanthapfeiffer7 I could not agree more, I'll be doing this for my birthday as well Samantha Pfeiffer 7. Hopefully we can meet up and do it together. Are you single?

[JasonJarred]

What an amazing thing to do.... but it would be even *more* amazing if you didn't film it and upload it to youtube. Then it would have lacked that self-congratulatory air.

[lucaslombardijatoba]

@JasonJarred Hello Jason. Thank you for your comment. I decided to film everything to be a inspiration for other people and it worked really well because I got a lot of emails and comments on Yoututbe and Vimeo from people saying they were totally inspired by this idea and want do do something similar! :)

Since I'm 16 I've been doing a lot of volunteer work all around the world, helping a lot of people and I never filmed those things. Have a good day! Cheers, Lucas.

[abrahamkang]

@lucaslombardijatoba Hey bro. What a great idea. Mind if i use it for my next birthday?

[lucaslombardijatoba]

@abrahamkang Thanks mate! I'd love if you copy the idea, I want the whole world to copy this idea! Let's spread happiness around the globe and make many people smile and laugh! Go ahead! :)

[abrahamkang]

@lucaslombardijatoba Thanks! For my 22nd birthday i collected $22 from all my friends instead of gifts and gave the sum to the red cross for the tsunami in Japan. I chose another charity at first, but then that huge wave hit, and then the decision to change was made. Maybe you can try that out too. =D Will let you know how it goes.

[JasonJarred]

@lucaslombardijatoba So you film yourself giving gifts to middle to upper class, inner city, Sydney residents who quite honestly don't need the donations? Seriously? If you've been doing *real* volunteer work, then why not film that instead? It would far more persuasive and meaningful. For that matter, why not give gifts to the many homeless and mentally ill people around inner Sydney, instead of these people who already have their lives together?

[samanthapfeiffer7]

@JasonJarred how could you ever say that? This video is such an inspiration to people so why would you criticize such a good thing? Why don't you go out and help other people instead of sitting at home and looking for the negatives in everything.

[JasonJarred]

Why don't *you* go out and help other people, instead of sitting at home and looking for the negatives in my response? Stop making assumptions, and go reread my comment... but this time activate your prefrontal cortex and consider the implications of self congratulatory behaviour dressed up as altruism, and how it detracts from the sincerity of truly altruistic behaviour.

[mollettman]

Honestly if there was any dislikes on this video I would personally find that person and then... oh I dont even...

[flumox77]

Awesome!

[GiftsForStrangers]

Happy Birthday Lucas. Thank you so much for making me smile while watching your wonderful video. I hope everyone that watches this does this on their next birthday, or any day really. People could go to aged care places on mother's & father's day. I do hope you are staying in Australia permanently. After sharing your story on my fb page, i posted it in our Thank You Thursday fb page and thanked you for putting a smile on my face. Thank you once again. I hope your birthday was blessed.
