Sheer love the people showed and the execution of it. We sometimes think of people and how we could help but how many of us execute it to really make that difference.

Here's to bringing community to community and offering LOVE to each other. This is what it's all about! What a lovely man. And how the community responds to love and to supporting each other. Just love how they all reached out to each other. Beautiful. It is the little guys that keep towns going, let us not forget that. Kindness begets kindness. <3

I am deeply inspired because I am in a similar situation due to a health challenge causing the loss of everything I had ever worked for. Now, (seven years later), even though I have never fully recovered, but there has been some recovery so that I am rebuilding my life from nothing. I have no idea how, but this video brought me to tears to see such true kindness and collaboration. I am inspired and my heart is warm.

This is what the Koch brothers cannot touch...Real communities. I am from Levittown. My family had to move away when I was a child. This video reminds me of one of my favorite movies "Its a Wonderful Life" A common man overcomes all odds and struggles against the large interests to help others in his town and finds he is the biggest man in town. This was great to watch here. This is what we need family run businesses and small businesses, ma a pa shops. I will never shop at Walmart never have and never will. Support the small business person they are "who do all the living , working and dying in this town" quote from the movie I mentioned.

This video emphasizes, in the most wonderful way, the truth that we are all one. We are indeed our brother's keeper. Gratitude is such a gift, and to share it with others is even more of a gift. All blessings to Avi and all the wonderful people of this town. They all have hearts filled with love for one another. If only all people would come together like this, to show others how they are valued, so they might keep their God-given dignity in tact. As St. Francis is quoted as saying, "It is in giving that we receive." May God shower all blessings up Avi, his wife, and family, and all who have so graciously shown their selfless love for them. May Love forever reign over all this earth! Rev. M.R. Wilson

People have never forgotten the joy of connection-that's what keeps our hearts open and loving. Thank you and Bless all the residents of Levittown.

I watched this with tears rolling down my cheeks. The world IS full of amazing people and we tend to forget that because the 'news' is all about wars and nobodies who are called 'stars'. People like Avi and the folks in his town are the real stars.

What a wonderful video about how important love for one another is, it is the one thing we all need and give and receive as it is limitless. Thank you for this beautiful expression of love! Hope Avi does get his wish and his lease renewed at an affordable rate as the community needs his store.

A wonderful outpouring of caring and love. It is a connection that goes beyond language, culture and race and just connects humans.

Isn't is amazing that one person can create so much love in so many other people?

This is the ultimate real life story. Thank you for showing me that love can always be made visible.

What struck me most about this story is Avi's complete surprise that such an expression of love could be offered to him. It broke my heart. Made me think about how most of us really don't know how to accept love. To serve and love his community has been his life. Thank you to the people of Levittown. I loved that his language actually has a term that means "my ultimate joy". Does anyone know what the term is exactly?

Such dedication. I am sure he sometimes wondered if it was all worth it? Now he knows it is worth it when you show such care for everyone it will come back to you. I hope he can save his business. I hope his wife is well. I am now going through breast cancer care and I am sure she went through the same as I noticed the pressure bandage on her arm. May God bless them both and this town. I lived in a small town and saw many great businesses close. Such a loss.

Definitely keep the tissues at hand, what a beautiful gesture from an entire community to honour someone who touched all of their lives through his caring presence. He's such a sweet man, this video makes me want to give him a big hug! :)

Virtue is its own reward. Inherently human beings are very compassionate and caring. In small communities across America and around the world, people develop and maintain strong bonds of love and caring. Interactions are positively intense and lasting. Celeste's gesture and the whole community's joining in pleasant surprise is what motivates us all to be community centered, caring and giving all the time- being there for all are around us, touching hearts of everyone we meet or come across even for seconds on the road, tram, plane or community hall. Three cheers for Levittown.
