Jesse’s mom is Linda Helt and she confirmed that the young man who was Cyrus’ date for the VMAs is her son, Jesse Helt. According to a phone call with his mother, Jesse did not only got a special night by attending the VMA’s sponsored by Miley, but the young man will also be visiting his family within the next few days, all thanks to Miley’s generosity.

The stunt was actually trying to make a statement, and Miss Cyrus who is an expert at that, posted to her Facebook account

Help me raise awareness and funds to end youth homelessness! This is just the beginning for me, but we’re going to get started now by focusing on My Friend’s Place, a homeless center for young people in Hollywood.

62-year-old Linda said about the youngest of her children; Jesse who is originally from Oregon, grew up in Salem, he attended Chapman Hill Elementary, Myers Elementary and West Salem High School. He received his GED through Chemeketa Community College. His story could actually be compared to the like’s of Brad Pitt! Remember the guy in the El Pollo Loco mascot?
