“It surprised us how viral it has gone,” Schmidt said.
Schmidt graduated from Moeller High School in 2022 and now lives in Dayton. He was a defensive lineman on the school’s football team for three seasons.
The cousins saw an opportunity to do two things they love: Create content and help the community, WCPO-9 reported.
“We’ve always done content and created videos. And we’ve always wanted to show off our community as well,” Adams said.
In their first post, they promised to feed one person experiencing homelessness for every 1,000 followers they received.
Three days later, the page still had 300 followers, WCPO-9 reported.
