After Decade Of Service This Beloved Vendor Gets Holiday Miracle

For nearly a decade, Andy has been a heartwarming fixture along Staten Island’s Hylan Boulevard, slowly pushing his candy cart up and down the busy street six days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., rain or shine, despite living with cerebral palsy. His day begins at 5:30 a.m. with the demanding task of loading his vehicle before heading to his usual Concord spot, consistently working over 50 hours weekly while greeting commuters with a smile that has inspired countless people. Jennifer Remauro decided this holiday season it was time for Andy to be blessed in return for all the joy he brings to others, creating a GoFundMe that she described not as charity but as an investment in someone who is truly spectacular.

Remauro shared how Andy’s daily perseverance reminded her of her late brother Robert, who also lived with cerebral palsy and faced life’s challenges with unwavering positivity, and her heartfelt message struck a chord with thousands online. Over the years, Andy has faced every reason to quit including brutal weather, being robbed on multiple occasions, and losing his commuter base during the pandemic, yet he continued showing up and fostering meaningful human connections. His dedication has created a strong network of helpful neighbors who have transformed simple street side transactions into something far more valuable than candy sales. In just days, the fundraiser surpassed an incredible $30,000 as the community rallied to show their appreciation for the man who never gave up. Remauro plans to personally hand deliver every donation and message of encouragement to Andy before Christmas, giving him the chance to take a well earned break, enjoy a vacation, or simply buy himself something nice for once.
