Where the f....k is these homeless people family.

All these people that are homeless their parents failed them

Oh my God, that ripped out my heart! This poor kid is the perfect example of what it’s like coming from a broken home. Granted, I don’t know all the details, but I don’t have to, you can see it in his eyes, by the way he talks into his chest, he’s beyond homeless, he’s beaten, as a well educated, trained medical professional, I’m trained to identify people with substance abuse problems, and he is definitely a candidate for exactly that, but I absolutely refuse to pass judgement on him or anybody else, because we don’t know his story. We don’t know the kind of abuse he might have suffered or faced, we have no idea whatsoever, what this poor kid has been through in his life, all I wanna do is jump through my screen and give him the biggest hug, tell him everything is going to be OK, and do everything in my power to try to help him. Unfortunately, I live on permanent long-term disability myself, not having worked for 7 years now, and I rely on my husband to pay the bills, because all my money goes to medical expenses. But if I didn’t have my husband, I would be just like Andy, alone, with no one to care for me. It’s a lot easier than you could possibly imagine to end up like that, and don’t say it’s never going to happen to you, because all it takes is the death of a loved one, a divorce, the loss of a job, or a serious illness, and suddenly you find yourself having to sell everything that you once had just to survive, and once that money is gone, only way to survive on the streets for a lot of people, is by using drugs to block out the pain. I’ve always prided myself on being a sympathetic soul, I’ve always been good at reading people, I can tell you right now, Andy is not a bad kid, he was just unfortunate enough to be trapped in a really crappy, cruel, and horrific situation, and didn’t have the right people around him to save him and to help him. It breaks everything inside me to watch this, I’m posting this with tears in my eyes and a broken heart. Why? Because I care too much, I always have, I never could learn professional distancing, always getting attached to my patients at work, but I just can’t help it. I’m not a robot or a machine, I’m a human being, just like everybody else, and all of us fall on hard times and need a helping hand. There’s no shame in that whatsoever, and being able to help someone like him has the greatest rewards you could possibly imagine, but not tangible ones, just knowing that you were able to make a difference to help somebody, is for me, the best feeling in the world, but watching this and not being able to do anything about it tears me apart. I literally weep for this brave young man stuck in a really horrible situation that is almost impossible to escape from. All I can do is pray to God that somebody out there watches this video, somebody with means, somebody who will be willing to reach out, and offer all the help that he needs to get back on his feet and get his life back. He’s not too far gone, he can still be brought back, but that window is very short, after a few more years, the drugs affect the brain to the point where full rehabilitation is no longer an option. Time is of the essence for people like Andy, and nobody deserves to live like that, we all make mistakes and we are all worthy of a second chance. So if ever you’re able to help someone like that, I beg you from the bottom of my heart, as one human being to another, please help someone, because I feel it is our moral and civic duty to do so. Even though I haven’t got much money, I’m lucky enough to have a roof over my head and food in the fridge, everything else is just extra. But I will gladly spare what little I have, as I have done so many times in the past. I haven’t been able to work for seven years now, after three decades of Crohn’s disease and intestinal cancer along with 37 surgeries turning my life upside down and backwards, I was so lucky to have people who stood by me through it all and still stand by me to this very day. Not everyone is so lucky, and Andy is the perfect example of that, he only needs to be given the opportunity, but you must understand, it’s a real struggle for them. If you’ve never been addicted to drugs, you couldn’t possibly understand how hard it is to get off them, but it completely alters your brain chemistry, and your capacity to think logically slowly fades away the longer they’re stuck in such a horrific situation. So if you do try to help someone, and it doesn’t go the way you plan, don’t give up on them, because it won’t happen overnight, for many people it never happens, because they’re just too far gone, their minds eroded by heavy duty narcotics, a total lack of nutrition, and living on the streets. It’s an absolutely terrifying prospect, but I do know addiction, because I too was addicted to prescription painkillers after having those 37 operations. I had a psychiatrist and a doctor to help me go through rehabilitation, and even then I still couldn’t quit, and these were perfectly legal prescription painkillers, Percocet and morphine to be exact, street drugs are far more powerful and deadly. You don’t realize how powerful they are until you try to stop, and your entire body and mind completely shuts down, leaving you feeling absolutely horrific, to a point where you wish you were dead. I know that because I tried to commit suicide, not thinking I would ever be able to stop, but again I was incredibly lucky to have people that wouldn’t give up on me, and because of their love and persistence, I am drug-free, live in a happy loving environment with my spouse and now have a wonderful relationship with my parents who are both still living. I count my blessings every single day of my life, but when I see videos like this, I’m instantly dragged back to that moment in my life when I too was going through hell on earth. So I repeat, please don’t judge, just have compassion and remember that nobody, absolutely nobody, chooses this type of lifestyle, it chooses them after a series of unfortunate and misguided choices. For what it’s worth, I love you buddy, and I pray to God that you find the help you need, because you’re worth it, you deserve to be stuck in your current situation, and you’re better than those that would put you down. Don’t ever forget it, and remember that there are people who do care, who care more than you could possibly know. Sending you all of my love, my hopes, and my prayers to you, TJ in Toronto ❤️😰

Bullshit, this is the closest anybody gets to a homeless person. Thinking their lives are far worse then this guy. The "oh, I can't help you because....(enter excuse here)"

I'm going to be homeless in the next few months. Although I've been working for decades, I got sick and after two years of COVID I lost everything. I hope my legal experience helps other's when I go into the shelter..

God bless you Andy Hope you reach out for & get whatever help you need to be happy & well

I wonder how you are doing now Andy? And also nice of West Jet to have someone reaching out! I've only flew 4 times! West Jet all the way!

Is there an update on Andy?

"There's nobody left around to blame" that hit me like a brick.

Andy, my heart goes out to you. Maybe because my son's name is Andy. Please accept all the help that is being offered to you. These people have caring souls full of good. Make them part of your future, You don't have to live your present alone.

❤❤🙏🙏❤❤

Andy is quite a well balanced and well spoken man considering his tribulations, what a great kid!

Forgive my ignorance but what has this to do with Westjet? Can't see anything done by them, just the two individuals interviewing the guy? Also, why no updates, did they ever go back and see him? Seems odd that this has just been forgotten when the story and the message is more important than ever!

Any update on him?

Hope he gets a job and housing

I just want to hug him. And help him take him home to his family

powerful video i sub

Good to see that those grade four piano lessons came in handy.

Are you sure he is not on drugs?

I feel so bad for him, God bless you andy.

The stepmother is a therapist and she won't help. Needs license revoked. Best of luck to you!

I'm not saying all them but I live in place that homeless get put in jail breaking n places and Lot murders. U can't go around them or money. It puts a target on your back. They see ya and know u was one gave them money them and others chase people and rob.. Sad but true. Every wk something happens

what does this have to do with WestJet?

How about a bed to sleep in, proper clothes, help him get back on his feet with a job. You can tell he wants better but will never ask and does not know how to start......give him his sense of purpose and dignity and he will soar.

Whatever happened to Andy? Where is he today?

Bcuz he doesnt have an opportunity....

He's just a child. My God! His mother forgave him believe me. If I had a family out there I would try to find him

This is why WESTJET is the be st airline!

That was nice of you to tell him he’s intelligent, he does seem intelligent. It meant a lot to him. God bless you. Under the right circumstances, homelessness could happen to anyone of us.

what andy needs is a future,somewhere to live clothes a job and someone to care about him,would be awesome if this happened for him

What happen to this young man ...... Dec 2018 ....

Good luck Andy! Keep your chin up!

Westjet you guys are absolutely amazing what you did for this young man was more than above and beyond ! Ur not just a airline I’m actually wordless as what to call you guys ! It warmed my heart to see this video just absolutely amazing ! Please please please keep us updated on Andy ! Would love to see how he is doing !

West Jet should help him with a Job, rehab psycological treatment or education. this could be a greater give of life.

I lived for 5 years on the Calgary streets it is a rough life indeed. Thank god I went to Drumheller penn for 3 years and got clean or I would still be there on the street smoking crack or dead. Starting a college engineering program this fall on Robotics and Automation. I will say that the homless life in Calgary is fairly closeknit most of the regulars knew one another. Rory

I used to be on the streets of Calgary and would often run into Andy. I remember him as having a caring nature. I hope he is doing well!!!

So you didn't help him? Help him find a job or anything? What became of him?

Loved the video! There's always a story behind why things went a certain way for some people. Good work! Look forward to more hiking videos as well. Cheers!

Andy appears to be a good person. He has a better outlook than I do. I hope y'all do get to check on him again soon.

Did you stay in touch? Did he get to go to the moutains? What happened?

How is he now? I feels that he trying not to cry
