Sleeping Rough in London after Wife and Child Died
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 сен 2023
- Sean seems like a kind man. He remembers the day he became homeless. For nineteen months, Sean has been sleeping rough homeless in Center London. Sean's first day homeless was shortly after his wife and child died.
Trauma like Sean's experience can be devastating, resulting in a person losing everything and ending up homeless. Once on the streets, the trauma of homelessness and having to fight to survive creates a vicious cycle, making it even harder for a person to get out of homelessness. Added to that, available services, especially housing, are lacking.
Sean shares that a day sleeping rough is mostly walking. He says the public often thinks all they do is beg for money, but it's not like that. Sean continues how people spit on him and kick him.
London is now mostly cashless, which makes it harder for rough sleepers we are panhandling. We do not support begging for money, but as we share in this short animation about giving money to homeless people, often they don't have a choice but to beg for change • The Truth About Giving...
Sean ends this interview by saying: "I don't want the world. I just want to be happy."
In the United Kingdom, as it is in America, it's up to all of us to change policies to solve homelessness. Please contact your legislators today.

About Invisible People
There is a direct correlation between what the general public perceives about homelessness and how it affects policy change. Most people blame homelessness on the person experiencing it instead of the increasing shortage of affordable housing, lack of employment, childhood trauma, lack of a living wage, or the countless reasons that put a person at risk. This lack of understanding creates a dangerous cycle of misperception that leads to the inability to effectively address the root causes of homelessness.
We imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home. Each day, we work to fight homelessness by giving it a face while educating individuals about the systemic issues that contribute to its existence. Through storytelling, education, news, and activism, we are changing the narrative on homelessness.
This isn’t just talk. Our groundbreaking educational content reaches millions of people every month. Our real and unfiltered stories of homelessness shatter stereotypes, demand attention and deliver a call-to-action that is being answered by governments, major brands, nonprofit organizations, and everyday citizens just like you.
However, there is more work to be done on the road ahead. Homelessness is undoubtedly one of our biggest societal issues today and will only continue to grow if we don’t take action now.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to educating the public about homelessness through innovative storytelling, news, and advocacy. Since our launch in 2008, Invisible People has become a pioneer and trusted resource for inspiring action and raising awareness in support of advocacy, policy change and thoughtful dialogue around poverty in North America and the United Kingdom.
My sympathies to this person. Amidst all the adversities, he still manages to be strong.
I'm lucky enough to still have a ceiling over my head ,a place where to live&sleep everyday.
I lost all my famíly,I'm all alone in this world.
I KNOW what this man is going through.
Be brave,do not give up,mate.
You'll prevail.
Very very sorry for your loss,my friend.
STAY STRONG
Sorry for your losses, brother. ❤
Make few friends. And make sure they are real. I feel for you, bruv. World can be brutally cruel, at times. Respect.
💖💖💖
@@bearosophyi wish for you a really good life,from Saudi Arabia🙂
@@MrMichael0329you are a really kind person,from Saudi Arabia❤
Now living in London is really tough, life got more and more expensive. Hope this man will go through it.
Poor soul. Lost his way after a traumatic tragic loss. What’s wrong with the world/our governments, when we cannot help those in distress who have lost their way - to get back on their feet. God please help him. Please ignite compassion back into the hearts of us all to help each other again. To be a community again. This could happen to anyone in tragic circumstances.
"Lost" his wife and child could have been from many reasons other than death. In the notes, someone typed "died." I didn't hear that.
@@judementz-gibbons6730- 'Bring them back' to him. Not bring them back to life.
@@myoldvhstapes - Invisible people informed member’s of this channel that his wife and child died, stated in the video heading. Regardless, your interrogation of this man’s story about his wife and child is a mute point to this channel. Means nothing and lacks compassion and off topic to the point I made. This RUclips Channel; Invisible people; objective is in interviewing homeless people to ‘bring awareness to their inhumane plight and unbearable inhumane living conditions no human should endure in a wealthy humane society. Bringing awareness to this growing homeless epidemic and the cruel suffering and safety issues inflicted. To advocate for humane affordable housing, upholding citizens basic human rights of accessibility to a roof for essential survival and safety in a rich nation; - which helps the homeless get back on their feet again. Restoring a humane society once again who looks after its most disadvantaged as a priority. We pray. As by the grace of God go you and I.
@@myoldvhstapesread the paragraph right under the video, it says right there that they died
@@sorayabunny : I referenced that in my reply. I said "In the notes, someone typed 'died.' I didn't hear that."
I was just in London from the us for awhile for surgery. My mom and i talked to a lot of homeless people. Some even couldn't believe i was speaking to them and treated them as equal. They are basically completely ignored by society except for food. My heart goes out to all homeless/rough sleepers. I wish i could have done more. It's truly heartbreaking. I'll never forget the faces of the people i did speak to and i send my love. Life is rough and small acts of kindness or charity do help in small ways. Honestly just wish i could help more. It's a problem at home where i live as well but this was my first visit to a super city and there are over 10,000 rough sleepers in london. Change needs to happen. Pages like invisible people are important and I'm grateful for your help and bringing awareness to the homeless. Been following for a long time. We are all truly just a couple paychecks or tragedy away from homelessness.
Your kindness speaks so much Ambrosia.
May the good Lord bless you.
We need more compassionate people in the world like you. God bless.
This was wonderfully said, I agree with you. We need people with compassion. Thank you 🙏
Heartbreaking 💕 Also remember talking to the homeless when l went to London, l am from north east England. Plenty of homeless in Newcastle upon Tyne, not as visible in Sunderland....it is there though.
The look of pain in his eyes is heartbreaking. I hope he finds happiness ❤
I think that happiness...may be a futile wish. In this ever more dire a world - perhaps, it will be a minimally-experienced state. But, connection?Here...he has connected to us.
The look.
Brutally disoriented.
I saw How deeply Sad he is! Heartbreaking 😢
This is heartbreaking. We forget what trauma can cause and then you can't function anymore, still society forces us to function. Otherwise we lose everything and can't pay our daily bills.
Nobody seems to care. I hope he will get help and I hope he can heal (though this part is very difficult).
I lost my boyfriend 2 years ago and i can say the lack of sympathy from others and lack of support was astounding. After about 2 months everyone treated me as if nothing happened and expected me to "carry on"
People don’t know what to say. It’s awkward. This is the conclusion I came to, absolutely astounded by the lack of support (none) after I had to sort out the affairs of a friend (after a ten day coma). “Are you ok?” and a hug, is all I needed. But it never came.
Sending love n hugs Huns ❤ I hope one day love finds you again and you can think of the man you lost with a little smile and I really hope your friend pulls through this coma but either way he'll know what a wonderful friend he has 😊❤
poor guy. what kind of animals would spit on a homeless person
What kind of society would forget about these people an put them at risk in the first instance?
Animals wouldn't but humans would.
A lot. Humans aren't saints or angels, or even decent. We're just the most evolved form of cancer is all.
@@eyesnmei wish you a really good life from Saudi Arabia❤
@@kurrie3280have a really nice day
Good to hear there are some decent people offering food and clothes. How despicable to spit on, walk on and kick these poor vulnerable people! Evil cowards!
"I don't want the world I just want to be happy." ~ Sean
Thank you for sharing your story with us Sean.
I truly hope you find what you're looking for sooner rather than later.
Sending much love and blessings to you.
🙏🕊💚
I truly felt that some real words he spoke 💯
I hope someone helps this man. He doesn't deserve life like this
God bless him.
This is heartbreaking 😢Praying he has a new family and is lifted up and out of this situation 💜
Jesus have mercy !
A new family is very unlikely.
It looks to me that he just wants his old one back...
I'd be out there too if I lost my wife and kid. Can't imagine the heart break going through that and how you continue a normal life.
What a horrible story. He looks wired to the gills. I don't think he blinked more than a half a dozen times in this 3 minute video. My heart goes out to him. So sad.
Not sure if it's wired - sleep deprivation and trauma can do that to a person. He seemed sober to me, although he was nervous, and that again - is a byproduct of the streets
No wonder the man is a bit vacant, huge loss and 19 months would numb me up
He looked to me like he hasn’t slept for days. Also he seriously has some PTSD
@@InvisiblePeopleyou are a really nice person,from Saudi Arabia,you are really welcome if you want to visit Saudi Arabia
That's why you never mess with anyone out there because you don't know what they've been through. Hard enough being on street already.
Amen
God blesses you Mr. Invissible and this man. ❤❤❤
The sadness and truth in his eyes is real...
Hello Sean, I empathise with you so very much although I didn't lose both together but 4 years apart. My 15 year old daughter died in 93 and then my partner Muriel in 1997 both buried in the very same grave in Hambleton Yorkshire. You'll already know it's BEYOND tough and I won't lie it takes a long LONG time to come to terms with but if you can find some sort of stability and get thru this awful homelessness then you can start to work on getting thru this huge trauma. I was born in London myself, a light year ago but I send you the warmth of my heart and wishing that you find that stability with somewhere to live so that you can start to rebuild your life. It's not easy, it will take a long time but there will come a time where tears of today might become happy reflections of yesterday. Blessings
The Cash thing is exactly true. Was in London last week and there is no cash to be found anywhere and some vendors/services explicitly don‘t accept it as payment. How do people expect homelessness to end when prices are rising constantly and you can’t even give these people a few pence/pounds to buy some food.
Well Britain among other places is rolling out a digital only currency to replace actual money thanks to the WEF. It's always amazing when people don't pay attention then are surprised when they get fucked over. They say how did this happen? They can't do this? Well they did, and anyone who actually see's what's going on gets called crazy or a conspiracy theorist. People don't want truth unless it benefits them, so they prefer the blissful ignorance of their own personal egoic glass bubble.
Then time to carry cash with you. I am making more of an effort to use and carry cash
So true i was in UK last week could pay for hotel room because they did not accept cash, luckily i found hotel which accepted me and took some wifi from the local gym to find the hotel.It was scary.
"I don't want the world I just wanna be happy"
Messed me up
Hope is what keeping him Alive, May Allah help him 💔
I hope he finds a place. I hope he gets help.
This is heart breaking, sorry to her about your family. This is no way to live, I hope he can find the resources he needs.
May GOD bless him
Very true
Well that's just disrespectful. May a fictional being bless him...that's literally saying I'm not helping, I don't care, some divine power can care for you.
It’s Boutta be 2025
Poor guy :(. I hope life gets better for him.
It can happen to anyone.
The point about having loose change is so true. I never carry cash anymore, but aalways used to put coins in the pan.
It’s a huge issue
You can tell he's a really good person! Prayers and love! ❤
God to see his eyes all red at the end. You can see his pain. Why is life so difficult and cruel for some and wonderful and beautiful for others.
I ask myself this all the time. Wish all could be happy, have their basic needs met such as the dignity of a roof, medical/ education and to be loved. It’s all we need…
It's rough sleeping outside even in the summer.
He is traumatised. Poor man.
That’s very tough coming back from such heart break
Keep holding it together and hope you can move forward
Bless you
¡Gracias!
Thank you for the support.
God bless..Poor dude….
The pain in his eyes ......
Such a sweet man, heartbreaking what he is going through 😢 prayers for him that God will grant him a home and a good Job 🙏
This is sad 😔 God bless him I hope he finds peace may his family RIP
Prayers to this kind soul 🙏🏾
Please give him some money and food 💔🙏
Doesn't address the actual source of his situation.
I was homeless for 5 years. It isn't easy. For every 1 good Samaritan there's 20 wolves in sheep's clothing. Your worst enemy is winter and not having proper shoes and socks.
Bless you,, thinking of you x🇮🇲
Thank you
Heart is breaking...
he's been through a lot, hope he gets more secure housing and im sorry about his loss
God bless
💯, respect the man.
Bless him
Breaks my heart every time I go to central London and see people living on the street. The cash thing sucks too, although you can give gift cards for food outlets, it removes that element of choice which is so important for people who have little control over their circumstances.
you are stronger.....god bless you 🇵🇷
Smashes my heart in pieces that we as a human race allow for people to suffer like this without providing help & resources. Especially in a time when we have created more billionaires, why does this happen??😥
Good question. The answer is the greed and ignorance of the human race. Our species is not nearly as smart or as great as people want to believe. We are largely incompetent.
That's the result of the way human society is. Want it to change? Gotta destroy the entire current society system that humans operate off of. But that would mean for a few generations people would be suffering and flying blind as a new system was built and put into effect, and nobody wants to sacrifice for that. Greed, ego, fear, entitlement so on. People don't want to give up having luxuries and smartphones that spy on you and harvest your data, or fast food or smoking or alcohol or expensive cars and clothing, and travelling the world on pointless vacations or overpaying for food at a restaurant, humans are conditioned to seek out external shit to attach to because they believe they have no value without that junk. Could you give up TV, movies, the internet, and go back to cavemen days (mostly, as we would live like cavemen but not actually be cavemen), 99% of humans would NOT. And that's the only thing in the way. Humans, in their own damn way as usual.
When we have a roof over our head, heat and food to eat, we have everything we need…
Thank You God!
God Bless this Man…
🙏🌎😌💞✨
sean seems like a well spoken man- I too lost my mind over some very traumatic stuff- dove into the drugs and street life- lots of help out there- and the best help I got was help getting clean and sober- I am not rich- have a little apt., a little job, but, better off I was back in my drinking and drugging days- hope sean gets a break soon
We all have a switch in us. If that is tripped, this can happen. And it can be tripped by extreme trauma.
I feel bad for this person
Good luck man
So sad.this man
please provide information on how we can help/donate to him.
This money monopoly system sucks. People are running around with billions 🤑 while others suffer with nothing. This degenerate and selfish world is corrupted to it's core
yeah and it's the average mans fault, not the homeless or the billionaires the average person buys the billionaires products instead of giving money to the homeless.
Wife & I went through it twice... The only difference between the people in the streets and those who are not is a place to live & a job they can do. Many homeless have been through a greater Traumatic event than most could even imagine. A sample of this was one young woman we knew went homeless after she was literally captured, dragged to a wilderness cave in Montana and analy raped with a shot gun multiple times for days. What do scoffers always spit in this person's face? Just get a job! You're lazy etc Never pausing to find out the reality. Yes there are also discusting people out there who are simply really wrong... You cannot understand all this unless you've spent years around it being homeless gives you great insight. Our journey was terrible but taught us so much you cannot learn any other way. Jesus is LORD!
Prayers for all who are suffering this trial...
🙏🪔🕊️✝️🕊️🪔🙏
Drugs and mental illness have a lot to do with it
@@marcK599.The homeless with drug and alcohol problems are a minority. Media just feeds you bullshit to make you believe that. It's like 15% of the homeless have substance issues. As for mental illness, no such thing. Everyone's mind is exactly as Fate made it to be. We aren't carbon copies of one being. No two minds are the same, like a snow flake. Some minds are more similar to our own and we call that "normal", some drift further off, we call those "eccentrics" then there is those who drift way far off from your mind, we call them "crazy" or "psychopaths" yet ironically you can't see that your mind is drastically different then theirs, so to them, they could claim you as the crazy one or the psychopath lol.
Omg this is horrible 😢
i hope you are ok sean / tony Leicestershire take care
Thats absolutely heartbreaking. How can we not understand, all through the world, enough to legislate and enact, that we have to support people through tragedies like this. It can't be left to employers, or some private institution the person pays for, it should be provided for anyone who goes through something so tragic, by the government. Thats where we want our tax dollars, is preventing abject sorrow, it's caustic to everyone's souls.
Probably there are more than 2 million such people in Russia and the Kremlin sends them to the front. As well as Kiev.
Probably now there is no country in the world where it is easy for people. Here a person has something sick, even in the most "prosperous and rich country" (USA, EU, etc.), he comes to the pharmacy, there are mountains of different medicines, useless and maybe harmful, but there are no normal painkillers or according to a strict prescription. The pharmacist does not have the right to sell you painkillers without a special prescription, he has strict accounting and control, like a weapon. What can I say then about poorer countries, it looks like the torture of the medieval Inquisition, people accept a more torturous death than criminals sentenced to death. Moreover, about 90% of the population (except for the elected ones - kings, cardinals, presidents, oligarchs, popes, etc., who live in another dimension and die not lying down, but "without going down to breakfast in the morning") do they accept such a torture cm execution?
Sigh...you can't fix problems with legislation lol. That's just a damn piece of paper. It has ZERO effect on reality. You think all the homework you handed did and handed in back in school actually effected ANYTHING? Nope.
I don't understand why people still decide to live... I lost my husband 50days ago and everyday I think of dying.i have no motivation. My life is nothing with him.we were only married for 7months and recently found out I was pregnant. We were happy... Now since he's gone...I just wanna die,everyday is a struggle..I feel like I should not be alive without him.i just wanna die and be with him forever.. but I don't know what's stopping me. Life is cruel .I feel like my future is dark and there is no hope.i should not be alive
So sorry for your loss and you are so young with a baby on the way.
Please this is Not the end. Time heals, prayers work ! Your husband would want you to be strong and calm. Please.
Tomorrow I will offer strong prayers for you during and after Sunday service.
Be Brave. Time heals. Prayers work.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🙏❤
❤❤you must live for your child, ❤ you will find another love.❤❤
You have to think what your life can be years down the road. Just like you found your husband. You can find that happiness again.
😔❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
Poor Bugger been delt a rotten hand in life hope he pulls through
I don't carry cash very often, but when I see displaced people, I always tell them I'll be back with some. Whether I get money back at checkout or pull money out in which to shop, I'll always keep my promise. I'm disabled and know the struggle.
😢😢😢

J JUST WANT to BE HAPPY ..... for the GRACE of GOD go I ....
Hell hole matrix. Helping others while here and never come back

Don't believe everything you hear
my thoughts go out to this man now homeless after loosing his wife and child i hope that he can get somewhere to live i have been on the streets before many years ago and it's not good it's just what that man described in Jesus Christ name i hope he gets help to get somewhere to live be strong godbless you 🙏❤️💕
Someone knows how Saige Summers is doing ?

"And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive. But better than both is the one who has never been born, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun."

Philippians 4:13 in Other Translations
13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me. 13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. 13 Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.
"hold fast" (1Thessalonians 5 :21)
Jesus loves him
Well it doesnt look like it , why is he in that cruel state if some God would love him?? Does this God award his beloved ones with that much pain? If that is so i don want to be loved by him . And i've been myself in the streets and whith the adiction problem , im not homeless now but im starting to combat the adiction and even if i have a place to live for now is not my home , i dont think not Jesus not nobady loves me, in fact i know if i die today nobady would care except for my parents and one friend and just foe a little time .

-Jesus
It's not like he killed em or whatever...
Awful
Unasked Question: How did losing his wife and child result in him losing his job?
Stupid question. He said himself he lost his mind. Who cares about a f****ing job when you lose your wife and child ?
What! You need to have trauma explained to you?
Everybody handles trauma differently.
He kind of said it, he couldnt handle it , he started to use drugs and so he lost his work i guess , an understandable thing to fall off in that with such trauma , just imagine yourself if that shitt happened to you could you just go to work as any other "normal day" ?? Its so hard to recover from such a terrible thing, to lost your beloved ones in just a moment....
He's too old grandad...19 months ago... what bullshit wants twenty dollar of you...three items two white one brown.... Dealer has his bank card...meets him at the cash machine every two weeks...its on crack in this video,,look at his eyes...
“I don’t want the world, I just want to be happy” words for all of us to live by when we’re frustrated by our capitalistic goals 🤍
Why churches and missionaries are not taking care of these destitutes? What about charitable organisations? In India , some temples take care of their food and shelter. Like Varanasi , Madhura, Brindavan , thousands of widows are provided shelter and food. And hundreds of NGO s are taking care of these people.
😶
gift cards maybe
Jesus cares, I do
Well if he cares i dont see him doing nothing about it, and there are plenty of cases like that , but i migth be wrong....

Just wanna knowbif this channel is helping out these people? Or just exploiting them?
There are many such people even in "prosperous" countries, then what can I say about the poor and Russia?
Probably there are more than 2 million such people in Russia and the Kremlin sends them to the front. As well as Kiev.
Probably now there is no country in the world where it is easy for people. Here a person has something sick, even in the most "prosperous and rich country" (USA, EU, etc.), he comes to the pharmacy, there are mountains of different medicines, useless and maybe harmful, but there are no normal painkillers or according to a strict prescription. The pharmacist does not have the right to sell you painkillers without a special prescription, he has strict accounting and control, like a weapon. What can I say then about poorer countries, it looks like the torture of the medieval Inquisition, people accept a more torturous death than criminals sentenced to death. Moreover, about 90% of the population (except for the elected ones - kings, cardinals, presidents, oligarchs, popes, etc., who live in another dimension and die not lying down, but "without going down to breakfast in the morning") such a torture penalty is accepted. Probably many people know how Georg 5 died (1g of morphine + 1g of cocaine)
And how are ordinary people punished for this in "prosperous" countries, and even more so in poorer ones, or is it not so?
And the second question. One person who has lived in India for 5 years told me that the townspeople are fooling the villagers. How so, I ask, and he: - "Well, judge for yourself, in the village they do everything that a person cannot live without - bread, milk, fruits, vegetables. eggs, different meat, etc. and so on. Even many raw materials for medicines, including scarce painkillers. And in the city what? Various rubbish that you can easily do without, and even harmful dangerous things that bring grief to everyone- the most diverse weapons, from the simplest to weapons of mass destruction. In order for a citizen to be able only to relieve himself, he needs to pump spring water from a spring source for a distance of several kilometers, and then pump it out for several kilometers."Is he right or not, who thinks what?
🙏❤️🔥🥰 continued prayers for all those suffering life on the streets (i help when i can, to the best of my ability as a devoted servant of our LORD & Saviour Christ Jesus)

not quite that simple my friend. You need to be organised, have a reliable address and be able to attend appointments with ID's etc. Not very easy when you're homeless with nothing except some change and a lot of mental health issues.
Rest their souls, this man has been through alot!! He needs help
Homeless need to accept card or crypto now
He’s junked out bad
