WELCOME HOME MOTHER, WELCOME HOME (realitychangers)

When Jorge Narvaez and his then 6-year-old daughter Alexa posted a YouTube video of them singing “Home” by Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zero, he had no idea how much their lives would change because of it.

They posted their heart-warming video on December 31, 2010. Within weeks, the video had millions of views and the pair became a YouTube sensation. It wasn’t long before they began getting invitations to appear on shows, like the Ellen DeGeneres Show and On Air with Ryan Seacrest.

In 2011, Time magazine pointed to their YouTube video as a reason “why the internet was invented.” A year later, they impressed the judges on America’s Got Talent with a live performance.

Narvaez often told the story of how he tried to be the best father to his two daughters. But few people knew about the struggle he and his family were facing to bring his mother, Esther Alvarado, back home to the United States from Mexico.

To generate support and call for his mother’s release, Narvaez re-recorded the song “Home” with his two daughters and posted it on YouTube in March. The video proved to be successful. (realitychangers)
