Buddies Coffee in Brooklyn is closing due to gentrification.

Owner Rachel Nieves made a teary video about the loss of her business.

Joe Jonas showed up the next day and urged others to "be a buddy" Nieves says she will continue to work hard and inspire people.

Because of her newfound viral fame, Nieves has been able to sell within her neighborhood, and throughout the country, thanks to online orders.

She has been immensely grateful for the overwhelmingly positive response.

Nieves shared the insight that "vulnerability is power.” In being open about her struggles, she inspired positive action.
