Isaiah Garza smiles in a grey North Carolina t-shirt, taking a selfie on a sunny beach lined with white deck chairs.

Isaiah Garza grew up poor in Los Angeles, sleeping in their car and abandoned office buildings, before becoming a jewelry designer.

Three people hug in the middle of a sunny street, arms stretched wide: a bald young person giving a thumbs up, Isaiah Garza in sunglasses, and a woman in a green top.

Now, they use their platform to find forgotten people and make an audience of millions take notice, sometimes spending weeks building genuine friendships.
