Netizens were moved by the tale of the father who lost his wife and children and "regrets everything."

There's nothing you can't find in New York City," in a video that has since gone viral. John shared his moving story of being sentenced to 10 years in prison and finding meaning in life with the help of God.

He claimed that selling items he found in the trash earned him an additional $400 to $800 per week. The items he discovers while rooting through trash during the week earn him an additional $1,000 on the weekends.

The man claimed to have grown up in Queens, New York, where he had also met his wife. Three kids were born to him and her. Later, he engaged in some "not too good business" and found himself in difficulty. He lost his wife and children and ended up in prison.
