    @Gm3Beats Homeless videos don't make money! The reason I don't shut off the camera is because this RUclips channel has started housing and feeding programs. People who were once homeless are sleeping inside tonight because of my traveling around the country to empower homeless people to tell their own stories! At the end of the week I don’t have enough income to pay bills. I often eat at a homeless shelter because I cannot afford food. I work daily to help homeless people get into HOUSING!

      I want to know more about these programs. We have a few programs going. Our focus is mainly on housing, and you probably already know, never enough to do all the things we want. Our highest priority is vets and seniors, but we try for all.
      Thumbs up. If you come up to Vancouver, let us know.

    Even if he got some type of housing I hope he was able to keep selling the magazine's as it was giving him a real purpose and connection to others.

    Sorry that these people are talking to you like that. I have never seen any ads on your site. Probably the homeless people scare them, and they are just striking out at whoever is nearest, and that is you. You are doing a great job, keep up the good work. I used to be 'invisable'. It is exhausting spending your days keeping 'invisable'. Hopefully some day I meet you.

    @LILNATE650 I am not a RUclips partner, and if there are ads, I do not receive a penny from them. I am part of the RUclips nonprofit program, but that does not share ad revenue. Also - homeless videos do not make money! Anyone out to make money would not be producing homeless videos. People do not come home from work & say "let's watch a few homeless stories"! Come on people think about it! Again - HOMELESS VIDEOS DO NOT MAKE MONEY!

      Invisible People keep your head up mark. I saw the doc where you broke down crying in your car because the need is so great and the heartbreak is unbearable. I cry seeing these videos and I felt your pain because you want to help everyone but you are only one man. Don't give up you are helping these people a little at a time. You truly are an angel on earth. I wish you all the happiness in the world. Love you Mark.

    I have spent my whole life comfortably with every bill and every ounce of food payed for.Now I'm too facing homelessness. I decided five months ago to watch these videos in hope that I would learn something about being homeless,and it would give me a jump start on knowing how to survive on the streets. I think the time was well spent. Thanx

    • @Dpurple28
      @Dpurple28 6 лет назад +6

      Ditsey Mceuen I'm so sorry. I might be homeless one day. People are in danger of becoming homeless more than ever these days. So people who are fortunate don't judge because one day you could be in one of these videos.

    I've been there. It's really scary to see yourself going down the tube but we are all resilient whether we know it or not. You get a basic routine and come up with resources and if ya get a hustle, you're good. This man has a great attitude.

    @Gm3Beats I am trying to get back on the road as a driver after taking time off to care of mom for 3 yrs. When I do im making it a mission to give free rides to where ever my brothers and sisters need to go. It will be my part in this madness of homelessness that has been allowed to happen.
