Liberator in Action: Influencer Jesús Morales

It’s always a surprise. They huddle in the early morning waiting for a paid day of work. Each man hopes he’ll be lucky today as he waits in the cold for the next truck to pull up. He prays the driver will roll down his window and tell him to get in.

When the opportunity finally comes, it’s a good day, a blessed day, and while thanking god, he knows he’s in for a hard day of labor. But then something magical happens.

Instead of ending up at a construction sight, the driver of the pickup, Jesús Morales, has taken him and the other workers he’s packed into the truck to Disneyland for a day of fun—all expenses paid.

The workers’ reactions are priceless, and Morales makes sure to capture the surprise and joy from the day’s experience on video, posting hundreds of clips on TikTok.

Morales is one of a kind. He long admired other social media creators who gave donations to those in need and imagined doing his own uplifting social goodness. With that inspiration, he took it up a notch by driving to Home Depot parking lots to bring dignity and joy to day laborers and surprising them with a fully paid day of no-labor, liberation, and fun at the happiest place on earth.
