    About Invisible People:
    Since its launch in November 2008, Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vlog (video blog) gets up close and personal with veterans, mothers, children, layoff victims and others who have been forced onto the streets by a variety of circumstances. Each week, they’re on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as RUclips, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.
    Invisible People goes beyond the rhetoric, statistics, political debates, and limitations of social services to examine poverty in America via a medium that audiences of all ages can understand, and can’t ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nation’s most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath - its founder - and brings into focus the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions face each day. One story at a time, videos posted on InvisiblePeople.tv shatter the stereotypes of America’s homeless, force shifts in perception and deliver a call to action that is being answered by national brands, nonprofit organizations and everyday citizens now committed to opening their eyes and their hearts to those too often forgotten.
    Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.

    My brother had mental illness. He was walking around naked and mumbling to himself. He went to a mental hospital and they gave him pills and a therapist came to visit him at home occasionally. He went back to highschool and graduated. Now he's working as a waiter and studying nursing at a college near our home. If my brother can do it, anyone else can do it!

      @Ivan Poohbear That's the saddest thing, that you think that it's normal. I'm a Christian now. My brother was being prayed for and that's why he got well. I'll pray for you, dear 🌹🌹🌹

      @@missuncongenial1843 Praying is a pure 50-50 odds game of success. Or even lower. Sometimes you get what you want. Others times you do not.

      I'm glad to hear your brother got through that tough time. However saying if he did it anyone can do it is a very much misused phrase. It implies that everyone has or should have the same mindset, that we all have the same capabilities and strengths, when we don't.

    This is terrible a man who went to college and is living on the streets. This guy is probably smart it's just that people are probably just taking advantage of him. Last week I saw a woman on the streets of Minneapolis playing an old tattered violin and some person stole all the money out of her case, and she wept while she played determined to make more money so I gave her two bucks. I bet this happens everywhere and it's sad how this goes.

    @InfiniteMushroom You lost me at "Bush Crime Family." Seriously? You can't pay people to pick up trash or build roads anymore like they did in the Great Depression, that's all been privatized.

    I bet if the community got together and decided everyone possible would just give $5 one time every week to one homeless person no matter if thare addicts or mentality ill or physically sick or peaple with injuries or cronic pain or are just plain lazzy no matter what thare problems are to stop and help i was homless myself and would be now if not living with my dad and getting help from both of my family i was on the street 8 year and im 28 i have physical injuries from degenerative bone disease that affects my joints and back hand injuries from motorcycle and vehicle accidents i also have mental pain things like PTSD from watching somebody be murdered and being on the street two chronic anxiety and insomnia to wear without medication I would only get a couple hours of sleep every few days so I did do heroin and Other Drugs mostly benzos and Xanax I have had things under control before when I am being helped by a pain management doctor and psychiatrist when I have the correct medication I need for my pain and anxiety those are the times I am able to function normally in society but because of the medications unprescribed I am or have been like an unwanted patient to where the doctor will try to get rid of me so I end up bouncing back and forth of being able to function and control my issues and not getting out and ending up on the street self-medicating with Street opiates and benzos and during those times I found myself drinking and doing meth sometimes and if it weren't for the brief times I do get the right hope from doctors and have my symptoms managed I do not drink or do amphetamines it's only when I'm on Street and not being treated and I find most other people in the same situation living on the street have problems weather mentally physically whatever or if they're just lazy and it shouldn't be that just because you don't do or can't do what everybody else can or look the way everybody else does seems like if you're different and anyway you are just useless scum you know people that are doing good look at homeless as crazy stupid out of their minds or drug addicts they view almost as bad people as if it was there fault and they had to do something bad to get there but I've been on both sides and I find that the homeless most of the time are more intelligent caring accepting honest giving and even more real more grounded in reality or whatever you wana call it than any people that are doing well I also find the homeless to be a hell of a lot more interesting then the people that are doing what you're supposed to do in fact I find it boring to spend any time around them type of people has there jaded close minded straight edge boring just another red brick in a pile of red bricks where the homeless that pile of bricks has not only bricks but any color shape style and texture of brick you can think of and a hell of a lot more interesting than the pile of bricks that are the exact same 2 square boring red bricks therefore I do not get along with those type of people I wish those type of people could experience the people that are homeless and on the street likes pain couple months living that way and you would change your mind about the things that people tell you about the homeless that picture that's been planted in their head the jaded one side black or white View I almost feel sorry for them type of people as they do not know what life really is like and just how in denial they are and misinformed almost brainwashed they are and then not to mention I'm seeing more and more homeless that seem to have no problem at all but I've just been isolated by Society and ignored to where they don't have friends they know nobody they don't know how to live on the street they are those people that are just another red brick and now they're in the situation that they thought they knew would never be in and rise in homeless people that are physically handicapped and mentally handicapped that get benefits but not enough 2 afford basic necessities putting them on the street even though they already have benefits what Society does in inexcusable to just leave peaple in the streets and just ignoore them and put then in jail or try to get rid of them its really gross and shows how cold and almost unremarkable species humans are I feel like humans as a species are delusional thinking that humans as a species are highly intelligent very evolved beings I think most of their life looks at us as uninteresting and unintelligent almost barbaric type of beings we are but whatever

    @InfiniteMushroom Wow, honestly you have more on your mind than the economy O.o. Sorry but that pretty much destroyed your credibility. They own something like 20% dude, a majority for sure but not a huge majority. Now, after all your conspiracy theories, I can't take you seriously. :/

    @InfiniteMushroom Meh China doesn't own us, they own our treasury bonds. As for the other stuff, I don't really buy it. I prefer hard measurements and figures over apocalyptic fortune telling. The fact is, people are spending less and the banks are lending waaay less, it's just a hole that keeps getting deeper until people begin to spend again.
    You do know the US is the largest economy by far right? Ours is 3 times larger than China's.
