Manny Pacquiao is a world champion boxer, a senator of the Philippines, and one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. While it may seem like he has everything he could ever want, he remembers what it’s like to have nothing at all.

Growing up poor in the Philippines, Pacquiao often slept on cardboard boxes and would skip school to help his mother work. The future professional boxer was also raised to be very religious; his mother wanted him to become a priest.

​When Pacquiao became successful in boxing, he decided to give back to people who were still struggling. In 2016, Pacquiao paid for 1,000 homes to be built for the poor in his home country.

“I’m so happy giving these houses free to my constituents in the Sarangani Province from my own pocket – more than a thousand families are the beneficiaries,” he wrote on Facebook.

​Despite losing his highly-anticipated 2015 “Fight of the Century” against Floyd Mayweather Jr., Pacquiao earned over $100 million for the match and used much of the money to the finance the homes.

While he completes his six-year term as senator, he plans on financing even more homes for people in poverty.

“I feel what they’re feeling because I’ve been there,” he said in an interview with USA TODAY Sports. “I’ve slept in the street. That was my life before. So hard. That’s why I feel what they’re feeling right now.”
