Very sad story. I had some trouble in my youth but I turned to God and changed my life around. Im 48 and now I’m saving and investing, hoping to retire in the Philippines as well. I have a trip planned in a few months to go there. Love your videos. God bless you and your family
Thank you very much for watching and subscribing Gonzo. I think we all have an emptiness inside of us and until we fill it with God there’s a Lotta other things I can creep in there. I hope your trip here goes well and if you get around Dumaguete let us know 😊
Tragic story. As you told the story, my mind kept going from different people I have known over the years. People, very loyal, great friends, and confidants. But would have an addiction that held them back. Or other emotional issues. It’s so sad. So much potential. I’m hoping he gets another shot and makes the most of it.
Thank you for watching and commenting Chris. Yeah it’s a sad story and I get where you’re coming from. There were so many people I knew over the years that alcohol, drugs and other addictions, personally issues it’s really sad 😞
You sound like a very nice quiet man just trying to do the right thing (One of millions). And you’ve had a very hard life but never have given up and now in your later life your getting your peaceful happy time. Well done your an inspiration!
@@crewfamilyphilippines You are welcome Monti. I always learn many new things by watching your videos. BTW I am not bragging or anything, I never skip ads while watching your videos, I know it's not much. But that's the least I could do to support your channel. Keep making good content. 🙂👍
@@moaz-90 Thank you for watching Brother. With my cell phone plan I have ad free RUclips but there are a few channels I watch on another channel so they can get a little something. We appreciate you Sir 😊💛
Sad story, Monty. Life can be a hard journey. People can make all kinds of mistakes along the way. But that doesn't necessarily make them bad. Kudos to you for giving him a shot and standing by him.
Thank you Gary 😊 Yeah but he was there for me as well through the good and bad. I truly hope that he can straighten his life out. He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well
@crewfamilyphilippines I have witnessed 1st hand the debilitating effects schizophrenia has on sufferers and the stigma they face. I pray he is getting the required treatment and support needed to help him. Through a family member. I became aware of the disease almost thirty years ago. I have witnessed the roller coaster this person has gone through in their life. With the advancement of medication support services and a better informed society, with perseverance, they have managed to maintain a more settled life. I wish the same outcome for your friend.
Heartbreaking. Nick can get no assistance in navigating the criminal justice system, Meanwhile those burning down buildings in the name of equity, tolerance and diversity are met with zero punitive response from the government. I hope to be able to meet you someday Monty. You are a solid guy. Dave from Cincinnati.
SSSSSooooo you do not believe in equality? Tolerance? Diversity??? DO you believe that white, christian males should rule over all others? You talking about people fighting for equal rights as if you would have lynched Dr Martin Luther King Jr if it were up to you... Do you know how many black and brown people are being done far worse than him by the justice system? Funny that when a black person complains about the justice system, you demons tell us to "stop crying, criminal"... But when its one of yall.... "ooooohhhhh the justice system is so unfair and corrupt". Guess Trump has taught yall well. Im glad he cannot come here... one less colonizer here pretending to be human. But anyway... I want to know how you answer my first three questions... WS burned down entire cities in the name of supremacy... Bet you would love to be able to do that now huh?
What does civil protest have to do with Nick’s condition. And how has their protest impacted his life or denied him any opportunity. Based on the story, Nick had support of several people and made choices at an early age that affected his entire life. Maybe the fault lies with his irresponsible, alcoholic parents who abandoned him at a critical time and age while providing zero resource or support after he turned 18. No Black or Brown people were mentioned anywhere in the narrative. So maybe shelve your racist tendencies for a moment to just feel compassion and empathy for a human with a good heart but bad luck. Hope he gets out and is able to realize a portion of his dream before he goes toes up. Good luck 🍀 Nick! From a concerned Black person.
@@elmoelbow TheInvisibleAmericanMan is just a Trumpanzie that needs to point to black people at any opportunity he can find. He wants to reach back to a peaceful protest, but I guess thats because those that participated in the terrorist attack on our capital are being rightfully punished (even if the punishments are not strong enough)... Well all except for the leader of the attack.. Thats his hero, and since Trump hates black people... he hates black people too.. Most likely he has never had a black person do anything wrong to him, but I bet he has has several white ones do him wrong... Sad that he hates black people so much, but only does so because he has been taught to.
Very good story Monty. I have done the same as you in the past with a good friend. Only thing is, you cannot change a person no matter what you do. We have a good intentions, but until the other person wants to change, there is nothing anyone can do. Keep you head up and move on, your family will appreciate you in the long haul. Steve
Hi Steve thank you very much for watching. I agree with you people need to want to change. I’m not making excuses for him. He has depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia which makes everything a challenge. We shall see what happens
Very interesting tale, thanks for sharing your experience. I'm 38 living in Texas and I make a lot of money but I'm in a lot of debt, trying to work hard and clear it all so I can actually start saving up money so I can early retire there in PH, I've known for sure I want to retire there by the age of 50 years ago. Your story reminds me why I need to make sure I do what I need to do and not try to get everything last minute as that can just be such a bad experience as you've had i'm sure. Take care and god bless.
Thank you for watching Brother. You are doing the right thing. I’m broke as a joke but I’m completely out of debt and I sent money to my wife when I was working to build our house here so we don’t have to pay rent. God bless you and I hope that you’re able to retire early and enjoy life 😊🙏🏻
Tough story! Hard to see family and/or friends go through that. All decisions have consequences, some good and some not and many of us have to learn things the hard way. Keep them in prayer!
Thank you for watching and commenting Jay. He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well
I hope you continue to improve with your health and the kid one day makes it to the Philippines where you guys can share some laughs about old times and feel blessed thats you guys made it through the hard times.
Monty you’re such a beautiful soul, you’ve been through so much, many blessings to you and your family 😊 I hope your friend Nick takes the opportunity whilst in prison to learn how to read, write, and arithmetic, also realise he’s is actually intelligent enough to be able to do so, it may help a lot with what he’s dealing with i think.
Thank you very much Victoria for watching, your nice comment and the money 😊❤️ I hope that he can get some help. He has low self esteem He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well
Thank you very much Michael. I didn’t say it in the video but he also suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia which also makes it difficult for him
Thanks for sharing your story. Most of us know someone who is and has been in trouble with the law, on drugs, and alcohol, etc. Sad to see anyone go through the downs, and struggles of self abuse. Monty your looking good, hope your feeling well.
Thank you so much Peter 😊 yeah it’s sad. He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well
Wow. You and Nick have been through a lot. Nick could not have asked for a better friend than you. You stuck in there with Nick through thick and thin. I see you loved Nick like a son. You hang in there. You're a great person. I hope Nike gets his self together. From what you say about Nick, Nick is a great person, too. He just has some problems. Good luck, Nick. Hang in there.
My wife is Chinese and I am Caucasian American male. Soon we celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Asian women are the best, except the ones you would be lucky not to marry. 😂 All races of women have their good and not so good. Nick. Well, he's young and a man so he still will have possibilities. One huge thing is we all have to get right with the Lord. Even a wonderful woman cannot competely straighten us out. Life is rough, but keep a stoic, prayful daily life. Much better to stay calm than angry. Keep it cerebral. And stay busy. Nick gets out, just day by day build things up. But, again, keep up the prayer life.
Shifts happen. What a person does with his God Given gifts are that person's choice. So sad about Nick, Monty. 😒 Hope to meet you by the end of August next month and share perhaps a meal and coffee, as Francis @ NJST is arranging conversion of a Suzuki Every Wagon that I will be coming there to make the purchase ~ maybe you can accompany me to goto the NJST location? All this interest with the NJST Dealership is due to your influence of choice of where to shop. I watch your and Aragel's videos and am enlightened about the many fascinating places and people you two share. Thank you both, Be well, Safe Travel, God Bless to the whole Crew family. You are in my prayers to continue to improve your health, Monty. 🙏
Thank you very much Steve. I look forward to meeting you and would happily take you to NJST. It is sad about Nick hopefully he will get some help while he’s incarcerated
Thanks for sharing your story, I hope that Nick would have enough time to think through how he can better his life. I believe he misses and appreciate you!
Thank you very much for watching. Hopefully he can get some help while he’s incarcerated. He needs to make the decision that he wants help and wants to change.
It’s a sad story, and it reminds me of my brother. We all had a very bad childhood, but my sister and I went one way, and our brother went the other way. He’s had a life of extreme alcoholism, drugs and arrests. Always a good heart, but always an F up. I’ve tried so many times over the years to help him, but he’s now 60, and I don’t think he’s going to change his stripes now. It’s sad, but he’s a grown man and has to help himself too.
I’m sorry to hear that you guys had a bad childhood. I agree you can only do so much. They have to want to change or something tragic to wake them up otherwise you’re wasting your time. Thank you so much for watching 😊
Definitely a tragic situation without any doubt. You never know what the future holds perhaps he will be able seek the right help in prison and get out early as well. Thanks for video! God bless!❤
Too bad he couldn’t explain to the court that he was not able to read the paperwork. He didn’t intend to screw up. This was an inspiring story, you are wise and I enjoy your stories!!
My partner and I had two properties, a town lot (hers) and a farm lot (mine). Her family soon moved into her yard and built a kubo then a lean-to dirty kitchen out back. I not only leased my farm off my partner but I also had a sole occupancy agreement drawn up so her family couldn't pressure her to let them build on the farm.
I can't understand why Nick wasn't literate in America. Sounds like he fell through the cracks somewhere. He probably had very low self esteem. I hope he gets some help while incarcerated . You're a good man Monty, he was lucky to have you around.🙏🏼🏝️
So many people fall into this same situation daily, so I'm hoping that some of them will see your video and avoid the same outcome. I m from central Florida and know that area where you lived.
Yeah I hope that some of the younger guys watch and prepare for retirement and do the right stuff and not make the mistakes I made. I lived in Winter Park when I was married but I actually liked Lee Road
I had a friend from high school who gave me a similar story. I believe he was bi-polar. When he was not depressed he could get great jobs and live right. But suddenly he would go into depression and destroy his life and the lives of everyone around him. In one of his good times, he married the perfect girl. I was tempted to warn her but didn't. They had a son and named him after me. He ended up addicted to heroine and lost wife and son. On my trips from the Philippines to the USA, I would try to contact him, but he was either in rehab or living on the streets. Finally, about 10 years ago, his father called me here in the Philippines to tell me he committed suicide. I was sad, but I understood. He was never going to get his life back together was obvious. He just couldn't face living his life anymore. I was sad and think about him often, but it was the first time I realized that,for some people, suicide makes sense. It was his only way out of his hell.
I understand all to well Edwin. I hope that he doesn’t do that. I picture his mind a living hell. He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia and he’s bipolar so that affects him as well
Such a tragic story. You’re a good guy with a kind heart and Nick saw that and hence his loyalty to you. I hope life treats him well once he gets out as you won’t be around to help him out. I like your little family. God bless you all.
Yes it is He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well. God bless you too Hurley 😊💛🙏🏻
I had a business for 10 yrs in construction like yourself. I helped a guy like you did. A similar thing happened to me. My helper was very sincere, he ended up costing me big big problems and a lot of $. I ended up getting out of bus because of the mess he brought my way. Work so hard and another person causes so many problems.
Thank you for sharing Monty. Your story is absolutely inspiring. Hopefully many people will use different aspects of this life lessons about Nick to apply to their own lives.
Hi Ken thank you very much for watching. I hope that they can apply to their lives. He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well
Another simple but good video. Look forward to meeting you. Have some things in common and some differences too, but think it will be interesting. like your respect for everyone.
Since I don't have family there maybe you will allow me to take you and your family for a nice dinner. A good meal and great company is about what I enjoy most. Asfar as watching goes, it is my pleasure. Since you educated me about added comments helping the income formula it pleases me to help you is this small way.
Paul from the World Zoom channel became a truck driver. He has a serious felony record, but rehabilitated and found meaningful work. I'll pray that God provides wisdom & protection 🙏 🙏
Nick's story is a very sad one indeed. Maybe there is stiil a glimmer of hope for Nick His time in jail may offer an opportunity for him to redeem himself. With proper counseling and the desire to better himself he can get himself a GED for starters. From there he can learn a trade. I believe it's even possible for him to get timeoff for good behavior. It's all up to Nick to pick himself up by the bootstraps and make a better person of himself. I wish him the best. Hope you can find someway to keep in touch with Nick, Monty. I believe he looks up to you as his mentor. Your encouragement and support can certainly inspire him to be all he can be. I sincerely hope things become better for you and😢 your family as time passes by, Monty I couldn't help but notice the couch you were setting on while doing your video. It appears to have nice, high back and very comfortable to sit on. How long is it? Are you satisfied with it? If you are, where did you get from? Your videos are very entertaining and educational to watch. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.
Hi Robert thank you very much for watching. Hopefully he will do the right thing. He gets a free 15 minute call on Sunday and he calls. If he can get a job building fence he can make very good money. The couch is very comfortable. It sits 3 but normally we can fit 5 if there are kids. I bought it back when I was working I paid $600 for it from Mandaue foam in Dumaguete across from Hypermart. We are doing okay I hope that you are too sir
Thanks for sharing. I can relate to your situation. I was a contractor and had someone like that, brilliant worker but the drugs had a massive hold on him. We can only do what we can do. He told me at least he wasn't like his parents because they were both alcoholics, he didn't get that he had chosen a different demon. He was like family, actually I used to refer to him as cousin Col. I hope things improve for you soon. Cheers Aussie John
This October I will be 60. I kind of slowed down in my life. I just recently had a new heart valve put in. So now I feel like I'm in my prime. I'm fixing to get down and party I'm coming to the Philippines
Interesting story. Thanks for sharing. I have a friend, he is in his late 60's. He wants to come to the Philippines. But he will never be able to because he keeps sending money to multiple filipinas , Therefore he can't save any money.
@crewfamilyphilippines Montii forgot to mention I'm married to a Philippina 🇵🇭 since Nov 28 2019 she' has been refused Visa 3 times a so far, she's from province of Mindanao Near Dipolog city love her v Much.
@@jamesquinn3051 I’m sorry to hear that she can’t get the visa. It’s not easy they want you to have a job, bank account, own land to get a travel visa. I have heard that on marriage visa the first thing they ask is if your husband dies how will you support yourself. It’s crazy.
That was one hell of a story. Almost sounds like some of the s*** I've been through. It was a very heartbreaking story. I don't know what else to say. You hit home with that story. I'll go for now take care
@@crewfamilyphilippines I'm hoping to come to the Philippines soon. I already have my passport. Just trying to save a nickel or a dime. Plane flights are so damn expensive
And people ask me why I'm 33, single, no kids, and not getting married..... I have a decent job, decent money, own my own house, plenty of money in the bank, have ladies over a couple times a month, and plan on taking a long trip to south east asia in the next year... why would I get married?
You’re probably better off single and keep saving money. I love my children dearly and couldn’t imagine my life without them. I could however imagine my life as being single until now.
Thanks for the story! Sorry to hear that about your good friend sir. I am 42, I am a contractor here in Tennessee. I am saving money, about to purchase two rental properties and preparing so I can move there and retire early!
Very smart idea. I have a younger friend that has already lived here for 22 years and has houses for airbnb and does very well here. I hope that you have good success here brother
Buy a little something for yourself Monty. So sorry about Nick, sounds like he's very talented. Hope prison gets him the help he needs. May be the best thing for him. He's still young.
Hi Monty. Very sad story and I hope he can get himself straightened out and have another chance at life. I have 2 friends that were alcoholics. One with the help of his girlfriend who he got married too got him sober and the other had to go through a lot of hard life lessons to get sober. He ended up losing his license 3 times for DUI. He also got married to a good woman that helped him get his life straightened out and they have 3 adopted children now. So it can be done just have to work hard to get life back in order
That is sad. I feel for him, and you too. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope to get over there at some point, I'm 43. I wish the best for him, you and yours. Peace brother
Thank you very much for watching and your comment. If you’re already making a plan at 43 to make it over here you’re well beyond the curve. I hope that all is well with you and yours brother 😊
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Troy 😊💛 hopefully he can change his life. He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well
@@crewfamilyphilippines So sorry to hear this, I’m guessing a path he’s taken due to circumstances within his life. I’ll pray for God’s will for him and his wellbeing. Thank you Monty.
I have personal experience of a good person doing bad things due to alcohol and it makes you realise that just being a good judge of character is not always enough. Sometimes you judge people on their character when sober but they might be quite different when drunk.
Yeah I guess that he went off the deep end. That was never going to happen. I talk to him on Sundays . He is so much better off liquor and drugs and on his proper medication
Monty, It sounds like Nick had alcohol fetal syndrome. Look up alcohol fetal syndrome face and see if you recognise the markers. He never had a chance in life other than the chance you gave him. Without you there, he had no guidance. Monty, why wasn't a contract drawn when you transferred your fencing business over to the other party? You still have some litigation you could do.
@@crewfamilyphilippines Monty, You might want to contact a business broker. Do you have a list of inventory & tools? Comps of other fencing companies? A list of customers that were happy with your work? I would think Florida would have a big need to repair/replace fencing because of the weather and shifting land.
Hi Monty, your channel is one of the all time best to me, because you have great content and a very easy going personality. Keep it up. 👍😊 Nick sounds a lot like my nephew, who not only had a rough upraising, substance abuse with alcohol and cigarets, but also started having psychotic episodes of hearing voices. He’ s really a good at heart person. But my niece who was taking care of him had to take him to be admitted to the hospital phschiatric ward against his will . My heart is literally aching for him, but there was no other answer at this point. So I know how you feel Monty. Sometimes all you can do is pray to our lord persistently for them. I ll include nick as well in mine. 🙏
It's kind of ironic how the self proclaimed land of freedom is so unforgiving. I can't understand the cultural fascination from the rest of the world, really.
Sad story and tragic. You seemed to be like a father and mentor to that guy and the one good positive influence that he ever had. He'll not do the full 15 years and will probably parole in about 6-7, but even so, he'll be under the watch of his PO and won't be able to travel far (let alone out of the country). Financially wise, your right, he most definitely won't have the funds to survive there in the Philippines and as a foreigner that's the last place to be if your broke. I'm on the cusp of retirement right now and my wife and I have a house in Tarlac, so we're trying to figure out if we want to stay there full time or go back and forth to Hawaii.
Thank you Mr. Harley Davidson Rider. I have good days and bad days but I try to make videos on my good days brother. Thank you very much for watching and commenting 😊
Yes I talk about that a lot. We all have a emptiness inside of us. Some people try to fill it with alcohol, drugs, other people and all types of bad things. Until you fill it with God you don’t feel complete. Thank you so much for watching Gerald 😊
Really heartbreaking. Based on your story, I hope someone can help Nick with his probation but better yet, on his case. Because, unless the stabbing happened first that the guy had to fight back and stop the attack by detaining Nick with physical force, if not, then the guy should know that he would be the one facing charges for illegal detention of Nick, and then possibly jail time.
I agree Chris no the old guy held him back and hit him with a chair. The whole house is on 24/7 video Nick got arrested the next day the detective showed up. Conveniently everything was a erased. I’m not saying Nick is a Saint but I think he was railroaded
Unfortunately, he dug his own grave. Made very bad decisions. Had an opportunity to salvage his life after some bad decisions but ended up back in prison. His mentality and wiring would have always lead him down a troubled path.
I have to agree with you. Unless he wants to change nothing will change. I’m not sure with his depression, anxiety schizophrenia etc that he’s capable of changing
Wow, Monty….😮 that is a very sad story I guess I just have to keep him in our prayers that he gets delivered from drinking alcohol if anything yeah the only thing I could see him doing if he got 600 a month if he could be successful on RUclips, but that’s no guarantee but if he was a hit that would be his only way out in my opinion I could be wrong
Interesting story. After working in the medical/hospital business (4years psych/drug rehab) for 17 years in my past; I heard and witnessed many similar stories. It’s painful do endure such traumatic and devastating life changing experiences. Take care of yourself and your family Monty.👏👍✌️🙏🇺🇸🛫🇵🇭🗞️📰😜
Thank you for watching and your insightful comment Ramon He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well 😞🙏🏻
Great story Monty. I''d be interested in hearing more about your divorce if you're comfortable sharing. A lot of men get hammered with it and it alters their retirement plans. As a younger guy, I'd be interested in hearing what you think. Cheers!
Hi Steve thank you so much for watching. My ex wife subscribed to our channel because she is evil and she wants to make sure that I don’t say negative things about her and I have a 18 year old son who watches so I must be careful what I say. If you would like to add me on Facebook Monty Crew or montycrew@gmail.com
Wow Monty ... what a story. So tragic how Nick was mistreated by his boyfriend, and locked up like a rat in a cage. Now the State's locked him up in their own cage. I hope he keeps looking forward, and, notwithstanding his predicament, makes the most of the rest of his life ... that's all we can do
Hi Txtworld. Yes hoping he can get some help while he’s in there. It’s a sad situation. He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well
Thank you very much for watching Bryan. I hope so too. He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well
@@crewfamilyphilippines I understand maybe more than most. My 36 year old son suffers from many of things and more so I understand the struggle. I wish him the best.
Yes , Well told Sir, ...I myself try to give sound advice to young and old, ...but I find in the end , most people will not listen and I guess that's where the saying comes from. ..People will always make their own mistakes, ......but we must all still keep trying to help others. ....Great Topic. ..Bless the Crew family.
A foreigner should Never by property in the Philippines. A foreigner cannot own real estate in the Philippines, except You can own a condo, that's it. Do not trust a girl friend or wife to own property. You will lose it when they skip. I'm sorry to say this, but foreigners lose their real estate all the time here, thinking the rules of their home apply, but they don't. Just rent, it's cheap and you won't lose your purchase price.
Yes I have told him that. He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well
Well I spent many years in prison my self for stupid young stuff however I turned my life around build a beautiful home in the Philippines and have a beautiful family here I got out started driving truck thomen bought my own semi and saved for few years every penny sold all my stuff then applied for disability I paid in all my credits so I'm pulling 1850.00 a month plus I got 16 months back pay I'm only 42 now so I can enjoy my life we started a piggery for income here and as far as your friend he will get back pay when he applies probably only a few thousand in back pay but he can use that to fly there and get set up and if he stays single he can live in 798.00 a month for SSI he can become a truck driver government will pay for school and most will hire felons hope he does well but we all make choices in life and we have to live learn from them
Very sad story. I had some trouble in my youth but I turned to God and changed my life around. Im 48 and now I’m saving and investing, hoping to retire in the Philippines as well. I have a trip planned in a few months to go there. Love your videos. God bless you and your family
grats and be careful!!!!
Thank you very much for watching and subscribing Gonzo. I think we all have an emptiness inside of us and until we fill it with God there’s a Lotta other things I can creep in there. I hope your trip here goes well and if you get around Dumaguete let us know 😊
You have my support and it has convinced me to get my ducks in a row
Tragic story. As you told the story, my mind kept going from different people I have known over the years. People, very loyal, great friends, and confidants. But would have an addiction that held them back. Or other emotional issues. It’s so sad. So much potential.
I’m hoping he gets another shot and makes the most of it.
Thank you for watching and commenting Chris. Yeah it’s a sad story and I get where you’re coming from. There were so many people I knew over the years that alcohol, drugs and other addictions, personally issues it’s really sad 😞

Well done your an inspiration!
Thank you very much Andrew 🙂
Great video. Enjoy your down to earth stories about real people in your life. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much BigV
Thanks for sharing the story Monti. Even though it was a sad story, there are significant lessons to learn from it.
Thank you very much Moaz. I did the video in hopes maybe some of the younger guys will think to plan ahead early 😊
@@crewfamilyphilippines You are welcome Monti. I always learn many new things by watching your videos. BTW I am not bragging or anything, I never skip ads while watching your videos, I know it's not much. But that's the least I could do to support your channel. Keep making good content. 🙂👍
@@moaz-90 Thank you for watching Brother. With my cell phone plan I have ad free RUclips but there are a few channels I watch on another channel so they can get a little something. We appreciate you Sir 😊💛
Sad story, Monty. Life can be a hard journey. People can make all kinds of mistakes along the way. But that doesn't necessarily make them bad. Kudos to you for giving him a shot and standing by him.
Thank you Gary 😊 Yeah but he was there for me as well through the good and bad. I truly hope that he can straighten his life out. He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well
@crewfamilyphilippines I have witnessed 1st hand the debilitating effects schizophrenia has on sufferers and the stigma they face. I pray he is getting the required treatment and support needed to help him. Through a family member. I became aware of the disease almost thirty years ago. I have witnessed the roller coaster this person has gone through in their life. With the advancement of medication support services and a better informed society, with perseverance, they have managed to maintain a more settled life. I wish the same outcome for your friend.
Heartbreaking. Nick can get no assistance in navigating the criminal justice system, Meanwhile those burning down buildings in the name of equity, tolerance and diversity are met with zero punitive response from the government. I hope to be able to meet you someday Monty. You are a solid guy. Dave from Cincinnati.
Thank you so Much Dave. I was born in Springfield. I looked forward to meeting you when you make it over here 😊
SSSSSooooo you do not believe in equality? Tolerance? Diversity??? DO you believe that white, christian males should rule over all others? You talking about people fighting for equal rights as if you would have lynched Dr Martin Luther King Jr if it were up to you... Do you know how many black and brown people are being done far worse than him by the justice system? Funny that when a black person complains about the justice system, you demons tell us to "stop crying, criminal"... But when its one of yall.... "ooooohhhhh the justice system is so unfair and corrupt". Guess Trump has taught yall well. Im glad he cannot come here... one less colonizer here pretending to be human. But anyway... I want to know how you answer my first three questions... WS burned down entire cities in the name of supremacy... Bet you would love to be able to do that now huh?
Don't take your son in the Philippines if he is a trouble shooter guy
What does civil protest have to do with Nick’s condition. And how has their protest impacted his life or denied him any opportunity.
Based on the story, Nick had support of several people and made choices at an early age that affected his entire life. Maybe the fault lies with his irresponsible, alcoholic parents who abandoned him at a critical time and age while providing zero resource or support after he turned 18.
No Black or Brown people were mentioned anywhere in the narrative. So maybe shelve your racist tendencies for a moment to just feel compassion and empathy for a human with a good heart but bad luck.
Hope he gets out and is able to realize a portion of his dream before he goes toes up. Good luck 🍀 Nick!
From a concerned Black person.
@@elmoelbow TheInvisibleAmericanMan is just a Trumpanzie that needs to point to black people at any opportunity he can find. He wants to reach back to a peaceful protest, but I guess thats because those that participated in the terrorist attack on our capital are being rightfully punished (even if the punishments are not strong enough)... Well all except for the leader of the attack.. Thats his hero, and since Trump hates black people... he hates black people too.. Most likely he has never had a black person do anything wrong to him, but I bet he has has several white ones do him wrong... Sad that he hates black people so much, but only does so because he has been taught to.
Very good story Monty. I have done the same as you in the past with a good friend. Only thing is, you cannot change a person no matter what you do. We have a good intentions, but until the other person wants to change, there is nothing anyone can do. Keep you head up and move on, your family will appreciate you in the long haul.
Steve
Hi Steve thank you very much for watching. I agree with you people need to want to change. I’m not making excuses for him. He has depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia which makes everything a challenge. We shall see what happens
Very interesting tale, thanks for sharing your experience. I'm 38 living in Texas and I make a lot of money but I'm in a lot of debt, trying to work hard and clear it all so I can actually start saving up money so I can early retire there in PH, I've known for sure I want to retire there by the age of 50 years ago. Your story reminds me why I need to make sure I do what I need to do and not try to get everything last minute as that can just be such a bad experience as you've had i'm sure. Take care and god bless.
Thank you for watching Brother. You are doing the right thing. I’m broke as a joke but I’m completely out of debt and I sent money to my wife when I was working to build our house here so we don’t have to pay rent. God bless you and I hope that you’re able to retire early and enjoy life 😊🙏🏻
Tough story! Hard to see family and/or friends go through that. All decisions have consequences, some good and some not and many of us have to learn things the hard way. Keep them in prayer!
Thank you for watching and commenting Jay.
He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well
I hope you continue to improve with your health and the kid one day makes it to the Philippines where you guys can share some laughs about old times and feel blessed thats you guys made it through the hard times.
Only time will tell 🙂 thank you for watching and commenting Jay 🙂
Monty you’re such a beautiful soul, you’ve been through so much, many blessings to you and your family 😊
I hope your friend Nick takes the opportunity whilst in prison to learn how to read, write, and arithmetic, also realise he’s is actually intelligent enough to be able to do so, it may help a lot with what he’s dealing with i think.
Thank you very much Victoria for watching, your nice comment and the money 😊❤️ I hope that he can get some help. He has low self esteem He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well
Thanks for sharing Monty i feel so bad for Nick you did the best you could for him life just doesn't seem fair sometimes
Thank you very much Michael. I didn’t say it in the video but he also suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia which also makes it difficult for him

Thanks for sharing your story.
Most of us know someone who is and has been in trouble with the law, on drugs, and alcohol, etc. Sad to see anyone go through the downs, and struggles of self abuse.
Monty your looking good, hope your feeling well.
Thank you so much Peter 😊 yeah it’s sad.
He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well
Great story Monty. Thanks you for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching Pierre 😊
Wow. You and Nick have been through a lot. Nick could not have asked for a better friend than you. You stuck in there with Nick through thick and thin. I see you loved Nick like a son. You hang in there. You're a great person. I hope Nike gets his self together. From what you say about Nick, Nick is a great person, too. He just has some problems. Good luck, Nick. Hang in there.
Thank you very much Thomas. I will share your well wishes with Nick 💛
Thank you for the video Monty, touching story indeed. On an upbeat note, audio sounded great 👍
Stay happy and healthy
God bless
Thank you very much guys 😊💛
My wife is Chinese and I am Caucasian American male. Soon we celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Asian women are the best, except the ones you would be lucky not to marry. 😂 All races of women have their good and not so good. Nick. Well, he's young and a man so he still will have possibilities. One huge thing is we all have to get right with the Lord. Even a wonderful woman cannot competely straighten us out. Life is rough, but keep a stoic, prayful daily life. Much better to stay calm than angry. Keep it cerebral. And stay busy. Nick gets out, just day by day build things up. But, again, keep up the prayer life.
Shifts happen. What a person does with his God Given gifts are that person's choice. So sad about Nick, Monty. 😒
Hope to meet you by the end of August next month and share perhaps a meal and coffee, as Francis @ NJST is arranging conversion of a Suzuki Every Wagon that I will be coming there to make the purchase ~ maybe you can accompany me to goto the NJST location? All this interest with the NJST Dealership is due to your influence of choice of where to shop. I watch your and Aragel's videos and am enlightened about the many fascinating places and people you two share. Thank you both, Be well, Safe Travel, God Bless to the whole Crew family. You are in my prayers to continue to improve your health, Monty. 🙏
Thank you very much Steve. I look forward to meeting you and would happily take you to NJST. It is sad about Nick hopefully he will get some help while he’s incarcerated
Thanks for sharing your story, I hope that Nick would have enough time to think through how he can better his life. I believe he misses and appreciate you!
Thank you very much for watching. Hopefully he can get some help while he’s incarcerated. He needs to make the decision that he wants help and wants to change.
It’s a sad story, and it reminds me of my brother.
We all had a very bad childhood, but my sister and I went one way, and our brother went the other way.
He’s had a life of extreme alcoholism, drugs and arrests.
Always a good heart, but always an F up.
I’ve tried so many times over the years to help him, but he’s now 60, and I don’t think he’s going to change his stripes now.
It’s sad, but he’s a grown man and has to help himself too.
I’m sorry to hear that you guys had a bad childhood. I agree you can only do so much. They have to want to change or something tragic to wake them up otherwise you’re wasting your time. Thank you so much for watching 😊
Definitely a tragic situation without any doubt. You never know what the future holds perhaps he will be able seek the right help in prison and get out early as well. Thanks for video! God bless!❤
Thank you very much for watching as always brother. I hope that he will get some help. God Bless you 😊💛🙏🏻
Too bad he couldn’t explain to the court that he was not able to read the paperwork. He didn’t intend to screw up. This was an inspiring story, you are wise and I enjoy your stories!!
He should have explained it that day while he was in the probation office. Things would have been fine.
My partner and I had two properties, a town lot (hers) and a farm lot (mine). Her family soon moved into her yard and built a kubo then a lean-to dirty kitchen out back.
I not only leased my farm off my partner but I also had a sole occupancy agreement drawn up so her family couldn't pressure her to let them build on the farm.
That was very smart on your part. Thank you very much for watching and your comment 😊
Montey I am showing my friend your video . Your a good guy . Glad your doing ok .
Thank you Kenneth 😊
Hi Monty I was so touched with your story and the goodness of your heart. Blessings.
Thank you. God Bless you. 😊
May God bless him and keep him. May he be blessed with peace, wisdom and a cleansing from addictions, in Jesus name, Amen.
Thank you Michael 😊🙏🏻
That's quite a story, Monty!
Yes. Thank you so much for watching 😊
I can't understand why Nick wasn't literate in America. Sounds like he fell through the cracks somewhere. He probably had very low self esteem. I hope he gets some help while incarcerated . You're a good man Monty, he was lucky to have you around.🙏🏼🏝️
Thank you for watching Jamrock. I truly hope that he can get some help while he’s inside.
Generally speaking people like Nick are embarrassed to ask for help.
Wow bro! Now im decide to move over there from texas, i fed up here bro! Works and works and nonstop work here in usa just for the bills😢
Thank you for watching and your comment. I hope that you’re able to retire soon 😊
So many people fall into this same situation daily, so I'm hoping that some of them will see your video and avoid the same outcome.
I m from central Florida and know that area where you lived.
Yeah I hope that some of the younger guys watch and prepare for retirement and do the right stuff and not make the mistakes I made. I lived in Winter Park when I was married but I actually liked Lee Road
I had a friend from high school who gave me a similar story. I believe he was bi-polar. When he was not depressed he could get great jobs and live right. But suddenly he would go into depression and destroy his life and the lives of everyone around him. In one of his good times, he married the perfect girl. I was tempted to warn her but didn't. They had a son and named him after me. He ended up addicted to heroine and lost wife and son. On my trips from the Philippines to the USA, I would try to contact him, but he was either in rehab or living on the streets. Finally, about 10 years ago, his father called me here in the Philippines to tell me he committed suicide. I was sad, but I understood. He was never going to get his life back together was obvious. He just couldn't face living his life anymore. I was sad and think about him often, but it was the first time I realized that,for some people, suicide makes sense. It was his only way out of his hell.
I understand all to well Edwin. I hope that he doesn’t do that. I picture his mind a living hell. He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia and he’s bipolar so that affects him as well
Such a tragic story. You’re a good guy with a kind heart and Nick saw that and hence his loyalty to you. I hope life treats him well once he gets out as you won’t be around to help him out. I like your little family. God bless you all.
Such a sad story on both your parts. You are a good man. God bless.
Yes it is He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well. God bless you too Hurley 😊💛🙏🏻
I had a business for 10 yrs in construction like yourself. I helped a guy like you did. A similar thing happened to me. My helper was very sincere, he ended up costing me big big problems and a lot of $. I ended up getting out of bus because of the mess he brought my way. Work so hard and another person causes so many problems.
Yeah thank goodness he wasn’t my biggest problem but he could cause chaos at times. I’m sorry to hear about your issues with your guy Edic
Thank you for sharing Monty. Your story is absolutely inspiring. Hopefully many people will use different aspects of this life lessons about Nick to apply to their own lives.
Hi Ken thank you very much for watching. I hope that they can apply to their lives. He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well
Another simple but good video. Look forward to meeting you. Have some things in common and some differences too, but think it will be interesting. like your respect for everyone.
Thank you very much for watching Daniel and your comment. I look forward to meeting you as well 😊
Since I don't have family there maybe you will allow me to take you and your family for a nice dinner. A good meal and great company is about what I enjoy most. Asfar as watching goes, it is my pleasure. Since you educated me about added comments helping the income formula it pleases me to help you is this small way.
@@danielwarnes7231 Thank you again so much. Yes we would be happy to join you sometime for dinner Daniel 😊
Paul from the World Zoom channel became a truck driver. He has a serious felony record, but rehabilitated and found meaningful work. I'll pray that God provides wisdom & protection 🙏 🙏
Thank you PeeWee, yes there is always hope brother 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nick's story is a very sad one indeed. Maybe there is stiil a glimmer of hope for Nick His time in jail may offer an opportunity for him to redeem himself. With proper counseling and the desire to better himself he can get himself a GED for starters. From there he can learn a trade. I believe it's even possible for him to get timeoff for good behavior. It's all up to Nick to pick himself up by the bootstraps and make a better person of himself. I wish him the best. Hope you can find someway to keep in touch with Nick, Monty. I believe he looks up to you as his mentor. Your encouragement and support can certainly inspire him to be all he can be.
I sincerely hope things become better for you and😢 your family as time passes by, Monty
I couldn't help but notice the couch you were setting on while doing your video. It appears to have nice, high back and very comfortable to sit on. How long is it? Are you satisfied with it? If you are, where did you get from?
Your videos are very entertaining and educational to watch. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.
Hi Robert thank you very much for watching. Hopefully he will do the right thing. He gets a free 15 minute call on Sunday and he calls. If he can get a job building fence he can make very good money. The couch is very comfortable. It sits 3 but normally we can fit 5 if there are kids. I bought it back when I was working I paid $600 for it from Mandaue foam in Dumaguete across from Hypermart. We are doing okay I hope that you are too sir
It’s a known fact other people can destroy your life it’s very sad thank you Monty for your video
Thank you very much for watching and your kind comment Margaret
@@crewfamilyphilippines welcome Monty and family
New sub..thanks for sharing and look forward to future vids
Thank you very much Sir. 😊
Watching again. 👍🏽❤️
Thank you so much, Eric 😊
Thanks!
Thank you very much little Brother 😊💛
Its a shame he didn't just ask for help. Even a local library or some organisation could have helped him.
Hi Thomas he is super embarrassed about it. I wouldn’t go to jail I would have asked for help 😊
Thanks for sharing. I can relate to your situation. I was a contractor and had someone like that, brilliant worker but the drugs had a massive hold on him. We can only do what we can do. He told me at least he wasn't like his parents because they were both alcoholics, he didn't get that he had chosen a different demon. He was like family, actually I used to refer to him as cousin Col. I hope things improve for you soon. Cheers Aussie John
Thank you John sounds like a very similar experience 😞
Good Video 😊
Thank you very much for watching Ricky 😊
Such a sad story about Nick, sounds like he got a bad hand from the start. Thank you. 🙂👍👍👍🙏
Yeah you are right Joe. Thank you as always for watching and commenting Brother 😊💛🙏🏻
This October I will be 60. I kind of slowed down in my life. I just recently had a new heart valve put in. So now I feel like I'm in my prime. I'm fixing to get down and party I'm coming to the Philippines
@@joemcgrath7446 Good luck and safe travels.
Interesting story. Thanks for sharing. I have a friend, he is in his late 60's. He wants to come to the Philippines. But he will never be able to because he keeps sending money to multiple filipinas , Therefore he can't save any money.
I have seen a lot of guys do that Liam really don’t understand it. Thank you so much for watching 😊
o my .... 😔sad.... you were a great friend to him and im so sorry for you both.
Thank you so much for watching Brian. Yeah it sucks to see people go through things but until he decides to change you can’t do anything 😞
Thanks Montii great video sad story , like your style of presentation, Irish viewer unjabbed 🇮🇪
Thank you so much for watching James my great grand parents came from Ireland. McKenzie
@crewfamilyphilippines Montii forgot to mention I'm married to a Philippina 🇵🇭 since Nov 28 2019 she' has been refused Visa 3 times a so far, she's from province of Mindanao Near Dipolog city love her v Much.
@@jamesquinn3051 I’m sorry to hear that she can’t get the visa. It’s not easy they want you to have a job, bank account, own land to get a travel visa. I have heard that on marriage visa the first thing they ask is if your husband dies how will you support yourself. It’s crazy.
That was one hell of a story. Almost sounds like some of the s*** I've been through. It was a very heartbreaking story. I don't know what else to say. You hit home with that story. I'll go for now take care
Thank you very much for watching Joe. I think many people have been through something similar
You're very welcome sir
@@crewfamilyphilippines I'm hoping to come to the Philippines soon. I already have my passport. Just trying to save a nickel or a dime. Plane flights are so damn expensive
@@joemcgrath7446 You have that right. Tickets are very expensive
Cette histoire est très triste, vous avez fait beaucoup pour lui 😢
this story is very sad, you have done a lot for him
Yes I did but it was a struggle. Hopefully he can get some help while he’s incarcerated 😢
And people ask me why I'm 33, single, no kids, and not getting married..... I have a decent job, decent money, own my own house, plenty of money in the bank, have ladies over a couple times a month, and plan on taking a long trip to south east asia in the next year... why would I get married?
You’re probably better off single and keep saving money. I love my children dearly and couldn’t imagine my life without them. I could however imagine my life as being single until now.
WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! What a sad story. A dirty shame. I hope you the best.
Thank you very much for watching and your comment Gary. I hope the best for you as well 😊
A very unfortunate situation for your friend Monte. God bless you guys😊
Thank you very much for watching Steve 😊
A very good life lesson for young person.
Yes that’s the reason why I made the video so maybe a younger person might watch it and try to change before it’s to late 😊
Thanks for the story! Sorry to hear that about your good friend sir. I am 42, I am a contractor here in Tennessee. I am saving money, about to purchase two rental properties and preparing so I can move there and retire early!
Very smart idea. I have a younger friend that has already lived here for 22 years and has houses for airbnb and does very well here. I hope that you have good success here brother
Buy a little something for yourself Monty. So sorry about Nick, sounds like he's very talented. Hope prison gets him the help he needs. May be the best thing for him. He's still young.
Yes I hope so Sandra. Thank you for the $ 😊💛
Hi Monty. Very sad story and I hope he can get himself straightened out and have another chance at life. I have 2 friends that were alcoholics. One with the help of his girlfriend who he got married too got him sober and the other had to go through a lot of hard life lessons to get sober. He ended up losing his license 3 times for DUI. He also got married to a good woman that helped him get his life straightened out and they have 3 adopted children now. So it can be done just have to work hard to get life back in order
Thank you for watching and commenting as always brother. He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts and schizophrenia which also affects him
Great video 38 my wife is 35 my plan is to retire there
That’s a very good plan. I wish that I would have started much younger with a plan for retiring here.
That is sad. I feel for him, and you too. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope to get over there at some point, I'm 43. I wish the best for him, you and yours. Peace brother
Thank you very much for watching and your comment. If you’re already making a plan at 43 to make it over here you’re well beyond the curve. I hope that all is well with you and yours brother 😊
Thank for sharing Monty, blessings to you and the family.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Troy 😊💛 hopefully he can change his life. He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well
@@crewfamilyphilippines So sorry to hear this, I’m guessing a path he’s taken due to circumstances within his life. I’ll pray for God’s will for him and his wellbeing. Thank you Monty.
@@troymoses8405 I pray every day for Him. We shall see what happens in the future 💛😊 God bless you and yours
I have personal experience of a good person doing bad things due to alcohol and it makes you realise that just being a good judge of character is not always enough. Sometimes you judge people on their character when sober but they might be quite different when drunk.
Yes that's true they are two totally different people. 😞
Great video Monty. Would love to meet you some day
That would be cool. Thank you 😊
Okay... I was cracking up at the covert to gay comment. Come on... You were dad to him. You were the dad he needed.
Yeah I guess that he went off the deep end. That was never going to happen. I talk to him on Sundays . He is so much better off liquor and drugs and on his proper medication
Monty, It sounds like Nick had alcohol fetal syndrome. Look up alcohol fetal syndrome face and see if you recognise the markers. He never had a chance in life other than the chance you gave him.
Without you there, he had no guidance. Monty, why wasn't a contract drawn when you transferred your fencing business over to the other party? You still have some litigation you could do.
I did have a contact with them. I have control of it now but without being there it has been difficult to try to sell it now
I will look that up but yeah he had a very bad addiction to it along with weed
@@crewfamilyphilippines Monty, You might want to contact a business broker. Do you have a list of inventory & tools? Comps of other fencing companies? A list of customers that were happy with your work? I would think Florida would have a big need to repair/replace fencing because of the weather and shifting land.
Hi Monty, your channel is one of the all time best to me, because you have great content and a very easy going personality. Keep it up. 👍😊 Nick sounds a lot like my nephew, who not only had a rough upraising, substance abuse with alcohol and cigarets, but also started having psychotic episodes of hearing voices. He’ s really a good at heart person. But my niece who was taking care of him had to take him to be admitted to the hospital phschiatric ward against his will . My heart is literally aching for him, but there was no other answer at this point. So I know how you feel Monty. Sometimes all you can do is pray to our lord persistently for them. I ll include nick as well in mine. 🙏
Thank you very much Joey for watching and your kind words brother
It's kind of ironic how the self proclaimed land of freedom is so unforgiving. I can't understand the cultural fascination from the rest of the world, really.
Thank you for watching and for your insight. I think the allure is they THINK we are all millionaires 😂
Sad story and tragic. You seemed to be like a father and mentor to that guy and the one good positive influence that he ever had. He'll not do the full 15 years and will probably parole in about 6-7, but even so, he'll be under the watch of his PO and won't be able to travel far (let alone out of the country). Financially wise, your right, he most definitely won't have the funds to survive there in the Philippines and as a foreigner that's the last place to be if your broke.
I'm on the cusp of retirement right now and my wife and I have a house in Tarlac, so we're trying to figure out if we want to stay there full time or go back and forth to Hawaii.
Hi Irish. Yes that would be a hard decision for you and your wife to make. I hope that it works out in a way that you will both be happy 😊
Monte, Sir. You are looking more fit than ever.
Thank you Mr. Harley Davidson Rider. I have good days and bad days but I try to make videos on my good days brother. Thank you very much for watching and commenting 😊
What everyone needs is to have God and a spiritual life.
Yes I talk about that a lot. We all have a emptiness inside of us. Some people try to fill it with alcohol, drugs, other people and all types of bad things. Until you fill it with God you don’t feel complete. Thank you so much for watching Gerald 😊
God bless all of you guys!
Thank you Barnaby
Really heartbreaking. Based on your story, I hope someone can help Nick with his probation but better yet, on his case. Because, unless the stabbing happened first that the guy had to fight back and stop the attack by detaining Nick with physical force, if not, then the guy should know that he would be the one facing charges for illegal detention of Nick, and then possibly jail time.
I agree Chris no the old guy held him back and hit him with a chair. The whole house is on 24/7 video Nick got arrested the next day the detective showed up. Conveniently everything was a erased. I’m not saying Nick is a Saint but I think he was railroaded
Unfortunately, he dug his own grave. Made very bad decisions. Had an opportunity to salvage his life after some bad decisions but ended up back in prison. His mentality and wiring would have always lead him down a troubled path.
I have to agree with you. Unless he wants to change nothing will change. I’m not sure with his depression, anxiety schizophrenia etc that he’s capable of changing
@@crewfamilyphilippines He would need professional help to manage his conditions as best as possible. Not sure how he is treated in prison.
Such a sad story. Such a waste thank you for sharing.
Thank you Neal He suffers from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts that keep him from sleeping well and schizophrenia so that affects him as well
It's very unfortunate. The foundation of all of this is taking a chance with a significant other, especially the way Nick was.

what happened to the ex? thanks for sharing.
He’s fine I guess. I never talked to him much
Wow, Monty….😮 that is a very sad story I guess I just have to keep him in our prayers that he gets delivered from drinking alcohol if anything yeah the only thing I could see him doing if he got 600 a month if he could be successful on RUclips, but that’s no guarantee but if he was a hit that would be his only way out in my opinion I could be wrong

Wow Monty ... what a story. So tragic how Nick was mistreated by his boyfriend, and locked up like a rat in a cage. Now the State's locked him up in their own cage. I hope he keeps looking forward, and, notwithstanding his predicament, makes the most of the rest of his life ... that's all we can do

A foreigner should Never by property in the Philippines. A foreigner cannot own real estate in the Philippines, except You can own a condo, that's it. Do not trust a girl friend or wife to own property. You will lose it when they skip. I'm sorry to say this, but foreigners lose their real estate all the time here, thinking the rules of their home apply, but they don't. Just rent, it's cheap and you won't lose your purchase price.
Thanks Mark

Well I spent many years in prison my self for stupid young stuff however I turned my life around build a beautiful home in the Philippines and have a beautiful family here I got out started driving truck thomen bought my own semi and saved for few years every penny sold all my stuff then applied for disability I paid in all my credits so I'm pulling 1850.00 a month plus I got 16 months back pay I'm only 42 now so I can enjoy my life we started a piggery for income here and as far as your friend he will get back pay when he applies probably only a few thousand in back pay but he can use that to fly there and get set up and if he stays single he can live in 798.00 a month for SSI he can become a truck driver government will pay for school and most will hire felons hope he does well but we all make choices in life and we have to live learn from them
