In an Instagram caption accompanying the video, Arnold explained, “I’ve been handing out presents at the @hollenbeckyouthcenter in Boyle Heights for over 30 years for a reason. When I first arrived in America, my friends at Gold’s Gym were incredibly generous. They embraced me during Christmas and made me feel joyous and included. I cherish the opportunity to give back and witness the joy on the kids’ faces when they receive their gifts. Merry Christmas!”
Further elaborating in the video, Arnold expressed, “They gifted me during Christmas, had this splendid Christmas tree, and I felt genuinely included here in America, despite being a foreigner who had just arrived in this country.”
“I’ll always remember that level of sweetness, kindness, and inclusivity, so I aimed to reciprocate when I had the means,” he explained. “That’s why, for over three decades, I’ve been coming out here. It brings me joy to spread kindness and motivate others to do the same.”
