But after the singer won Video of the Year for "Wrecking Ball," Jesse - a representative from shelter My Friend's Place - took the stage and explained:
"I am accepting this award on behalf of the 1.6 million runaways and homeless youth in the United States who are starving, lost and scared for their lives. I know this because I'm one of these people. Though I may have been invisible to you in the streets, I have the same dreams as many of you."
