Uber Driver Shares How App Paired Him With His Long Lost Older Brother In Powerful Video

Uber driver and TikToker @voycebutler2 shared how the app randomly reunited him with his older brother who was lost to the foster care system when they were both kids.

For many children in the foster care system, the possibility of being split up and not knowing what happened to your long-lost siblings often ends up being heartbreaking reality.

So when the universe steps in to reunite a family, it can be a truly emotional surprise.


While driving for Uber to make some extra money, TikToker @voycebutler2 intended to pick up one more ride for the night before going home.

He noted that his last passenger's name was "Jaylin" and was taken aback for a moment. His older brother, Jaylen, had been taken and put into foster care when the TikToker was seven and Jaylen was nine. He decided to think nothing more of the similarity and went to pick up the customer.

As they were driving toward their destination, the passenger noted how he had not been in this part of the neighborhood for years and pointed out a street name that was very familiar to the Uber driver.

But then the passenger said that he hadn't been back there since he was put into foster care when he was nine, and the TikToker had to start asking questions, to see if the similarities were real or a coincidence.

He asked the passenger his mother's name, which was the same as his own. Then he asked if he still had a scar from when they played as children, which was when Jaylen caught on and asked if the TikToker's name was Peter.

It was then that the two realized that they were long-lost brothers, separated by the foster care system. Heartbreakingly, Jaylen thought that something had happened to Peter the TikToker, because he'd been unable to find him when he turned 18 and started to look for him.

By accepting one more Uber ride that night, and by choosing to use the service that night, the two men's lives may have been forever changed.

TikToker @voycebutler2 said that he and his brother intended to meet the following day, to have lunch, and to catch up about each other's lives.

Since they're now both grown men, they'll likely have a lot of lunches to come with no shortage of memories to talk about and their lives to catch up on.

The White House Now Has Its Own News Website—And People Are Calling It Out For What It Is

Critics called out the Trump administration for running its own propaganda network after the White House publicized "White House Wire," its own news website that features news articles from conservative news outlets like the Daily Caller and Fox News.

The White House Wire (WHWIRE) primarily features positive coverage of the president and administration, with stories mainly sourced from conservative outlets and contributions from government staffers. One early headline, "100 Days Of Hoaxes: Cutting Through The Fake News," was notable but did not include a direct link to a story.
