Working Actor Now Homeless in Los Angeles

- "What hurts the most is the friends and family that used to be there, that when you get into this situation, everybody just chucks it up to drug abuse or bad choices...that's not always the case. Sometimes it's just the choice is made for you and you don't have any choice." ~ Dennis
"Through an avalanche of unfortunate events" is how Dennis ended up homeless in Los Angeles. Dennis is a working actor. He moved to New York City into an apartment he couldn't afford. After three years his partner split and wiped him out financially. Dennis had to start over.
Dennis's elderly mother is in an assisted living home. He tried to live at the facility but that did not work out. He ended up living in a broken-down car for over a year.
Dennis says homelessness used to be that person you didn't know. Now, homelessness is your sons or your daughters, your sisters or your fathers.

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.
I was homeless for 10 years. I'm good now tho got a job a house thank God I made it out alive
That’s awesome to hear dude. Glad things worked out for you.
Cool!
Me too. It is possible to come back from the streets. I almost took myself out with drugs and alcohol but tried kratom 6 years ago, I've been sober since that day. If you struggle with drugs and alcohol try kratom. It saved my life no doubt.
how? employers dont hire homeless
cory leblanc says who?!
You already made him miss his bus, you should have given him a ride where he needed to go.
You are right.. I should not have used that word. I apologyze and i have deleted that comment :D
No worries GOD bless and take care☺
@@LyraKeltica61 Sandy amen
Should have given him a ride & some money to buy food.
He did after the interview
He seemed broken but still humble and willing to get on with life. What a nice human being and I truely hope he has found peace and stability.
Hope this man turns out to be a success story. He seems sincere.
They are not invisible, we are blind.
Well.... wouldn't that make him *literally* invisible? 🤔
@De Sign I agree too painful
My god... your comment... I dropped my coffee, my cat died of cardiac arrest totally stunned at the genius of your conment.
DeeREAL no
@Jack D lol yea move somewhere where you really have absolutely nobody that's smart shit how dow you afford to just pack up and move if you cant even afford to eat
Update on him : He is a skilled carpenter now and on job .
Edit 0ct 2022 : Just revisited this comment and seen alot of interest, respose and good wishes. For all those who are interested, His full name is Dennis Kyle . If you give his name in RUclips search, you'll find a number of his past singing and acting performances . During or after Corona he again faced tough times due to which he launched a fundraiser on GoFundMe in 2021. People did help and he collected more than his target.
General Knowledge I hope that’s true. Good wishes to this man
Please send proof. I really hope your words are true.
Harrison Ford was a carptenter too. You wouldn't expect that to overlap with acting so often lol.
@@drksideofthewal Carpenter work is seasonal so it works 💋
@@Apixi no its not, year round, been in construction for almost 25 years.
This is over 4 yrs old and I hope he is in a better situation now.
He’s still a drunk male prostitute… caught him walking up in down Ventura Blvd wearing purple lingerie trying to wave down trucks.
@@a.nelprober-rl5cf you need to get a life and stop obsessing about gay sex
I hate that people think these people are lazy just because they’re homeless. These are just regular people who are unlucky.
This actor looks like he is perfect for all kinds of roles.
He looks like the guy from shawshank redemption. The screws beat him into a vegetable
Maybe someone will see this and give him some good acting work.
He looks like he could be Entrepreneur Steve Hawk's brother. Accent, voice tone, expressions etc.
Yesss. Good thing.
Fuckin true.
Being homeless is the absolute worst feeling in the world. Having nothing to do. Not knowing when you are going to eat again while being thirsty and starving. Sneaking into public bathrooms. Freezing at night. Being alone and scared. The dirty looks from people. Going through all of this day after day.
I got tears after watching this video... Man
and the most hurting feeling of it all, is the Despise 'normal' people give.
I go with that saying:
a stray dog's and a cat's life are worth more then that of humans in this era'
You summed it all up well. It's so degrading and most horrible feeling like a piece of trash and that nobody cares about. Like running over someone who is already down.
I wish I realized this when I was still homeless. But you really have lots of stuff you can do. Make a list of all the places in your country you want to see, and start hiking. You won't have this opportunity once you have a fulltime job and bills to pay. At least not for many years. Take temp jobs, use that for your hiking supplies, a tent, campsites, etc. Buy a cheap acoustic guitar. Teach yourself the open chords and learn some simple songs. Playing on a corner is not the same as panhandling because you are providing a service for tips. You can, and probably will get in trouble if you just fly a sign, it's technically illegal.
@@justxho When I was homeless I fully understood that the disdain people show was the result of how other homeless people in the area behaved. Most of the "fellow" homeless people I met were horribly selfish and entitled people. I saw one of them literally assault a man over a single cigarette. I'm sure most of them are still homeless too, because they refused to do the things necessary to get out. You can't just spend all the money that comes into your hands. That's what most of them do. Especially in Orlando, they all just got high on molly and didn't seem to care if they ever got off the streets.
So having this attitude, that the normal people who are literally doing what they need to not to be homeless themselves, are somehow obligated to help you, is part of what is keeping you homeless. Nobody owes you anything.
Also consider that you, most likely, are not the *only* person asking them for help. There are other homeless asking for the same things. There may even be family asking for help. Just because they don't help you, right this instant, when you ask doesn't mean they hate all homeless people. This is an incredibly selfish viewpoint.
This brings me to very biggest piece of advice I can give any homeless person: stay away from other homeless people as much as possible. They will hold you down. They will want you to share everything, so that you always have nothing. They have no remorse or guilt. In the off chance you find another homeless person who actually wants to work as a team, and pull their share, good, but it's impossibly rare.
This guy has soul. So much character. He's obviously an A-list actor in a nearby parallel universe.
I feel so bad for him 😢
Lovey comment👍✨✨
I hope this dude is in a better place now. Very open, honest and forthright about the situation
I have a homeless friend living with me since November 2017. I saw him on the street emaciated and dirty. He was sleeping in a garage. I have a sun room back of my house so with a twin bed, a new shaver, food and a place to shower he is surviving and thriving now. He has a small job at a good restraunt here. It's not easy as my personal space has changed but I could not in good conscious left him where he was.
Human beings were meant to demonstrate love and compassion, to love. Put your money where your mouths are folks.
Stop talking a good game and live a good game. Help someone up.
Sorry Dennis damn hard I know.
RenegadeTimes Well done...god sees everything.
We need more people like you...you did the right thing.bless you.
You're a good person for doing what you've done for him.
RenegadeTimes thank God for people like you!
God bless you!

Many of us are not too far from his situation. Many of us just don't realise.
Can’t be more true. You are so right that I get goosebumps.

1. I just want to give this guy a hug. 2. I hope that he's doing better.
where are those who say "only lazy people become homeless"
honest people end up homeless while cheaters and scammers enjoy on honest people's money!!!
Agree

This is truth. I see the system daily.
So true.

As a homeless 62 year old ( no drugs or alcohol involved ) I can truly understand and empathize with this human being.
how are you posting this?..
@@timn4481 if you have a need to know then I’ll quickly explain in one and only one word my friend ---Library. I hope you’re day is a wonderful one, ✌️.
Homeless people tend to have phones in this day and age. Silly question.
@@treyburro5525 Thank you.
I hope things turn around for you. There is no reason anybody in a so-called civilized country like America should be homeless.
Keep making this documentary's please!!! People have to see this. It's happening all over the world.
I had a 15 year stretch of bad luck that seemingly wouldn't end. I couldn't believe I could be so unlucky. I was broken for many years and at one point me and my dog where living on rice with stock cubes under a old blanket in an empty apartment but I kept going in hope that hard work must finally pay off. Now I have a family and I'm the director of a successful company. I never judge people like this. It can happen to anyone.
My story is similar... 60s disabled couldn't work no booze or drugs, no mental...economic collapse wiped me out after a stroke and no credit, couldn't rent anything..couldn't pay attention..13 yrs homeless in car, other places...finally last summer was delivered with an affordable apt..
Jesus is Lord and he took care of me
Hearing you found resolve after 15 years of pain really inspires me to not give up
@@AtibaVV Glad to hear it. Take each day, week, month, year and decade as you find it and try to develop positive routines. Small steps slowly carry you a long way before you know it. I hope you find your measure of peace.
We can't even judge the terminally addicted? The ones screaming at terrified pedestrians until their throats bleed? The ones who rape and stab women who come too close to their tents on the walking trails and parks? The ones who drag bags of trash and stolen bicycles into the drainage canals to rifle through them, destroying the environment? The ones who we spend millions of dollars to rehabilitate and then they just go back to their junkie buddies on the streets? Who can we judge?
@@newchannelwtfwhy Why are you really asking? Of course you are free to be an asshole and judge whoever you want like that. Just remember that all you are doing is trying to justify to yourself why you lack compassion and sympathy for fellow human beings. You must convince yourself that it is all their fault for being in this miserable situation because otherwise the alternative explanation would be that we all live in a barbaric system that breeds such conditions.
If this guy is on the streets it could happen to anyone.
I was too for 2 month. Anyone can hit the bottom. The experience teached me to never judge people in serious troubles.
Lausbert I am currently living out of country and hearing such stories makes me feel like not wanting to come back.
@@Visual_Writer Hey. Sorry about that. How did you take your life back in hands?
Nope. This is all thanks to democratic policies. You all wanted socialism. This is the result lol
You act like the guy was rich before becoming homeless. He was never rich. Acting is just a hobby for most people.
What a calm & nice person. I hope the best for him ❤️
He had 3 wishes and none of them were about him. What a dude! 👌It's 2023 now and the video was made in 2018. I would love to know that Dennis is doing better now and living in an apartment. 🙏
🙄 end of homelessness
@@BestMods168 he could have said "For me not to be homeless" - he was thinking of all homeless people out there.
I too would like an update. He' not camping and defecating on people's front steps, and I assume he is sober and not violent. He appears to have some self-respect even though he's in a tough place.
End of narcissistic and show off society
i was homeless , and COMPLETLY embarrassed about it.....Today i own house and am a single dad who was asked by my child to live with me.....SO BLESSED
passtheBuck Canuck God bless you and your child. Homelessness is most difficult.
passtheBuck Canuck could you share how you did it?
passtheBuck Canuck good for you bro, same spot, looking to progress to better spot and get my kids to live with me.
lang 1007 Honestly....It was like snorkeling in the ocean....You leave everything you think is normal, EVERYTHING , and observe a completely new world right in front of your eyes.... Analyse everything and pay attention to the people around you in this new world....Be weary and step light into well known scenarios that scare ( because they should)..... GO GET ANY KIND SCHOOLING YOU CAN...I GOT FUNDING FOR WELDING SCHOOL FROM THE GOVERNMENT....I only completed grade 11 in school so a trade was the route for me....Always loved the oilfield here in Alberta Canada, It has been very good to me...
Hey can I ask what you did to climb out of it?
He can make 3 wishes....and none is for himself!!.... This man have a good heart.
It’s easy to say cause the wish’s ain’t real bet he would wish for some money if it was and I wouldn’t blame him I would do the same
@@phoenixwillrise7319 Or maybe that's just the kind of person that he is. Selfless, never thinks of himself. Maybe because he trusted others too much that's what partly caused his circumstances? He seems like such a genuine man. Folks like him just need one damn break in life. It's just not fair at all.
B Humphries sure
@TheFallsCapone He stated he doesn't have addiction issues. Not all homeless folks are drug addicts or alcoholics. He spoke about him self mostly, because the interview is about HIM. And maybe he doesn't have much family? There are a million reasons why one could be estranged from their family. I only speak to my mom, and don't not have a relationship with any other family members. It has nothing to do with drugs/alcohol or crime. They are just horrible, toxic people. And as far as friends go, maybe he doesn't have any friends with the means to help him? You cannot judge a book by it's cover, and certainly can't prejudge him based upon a six minute video. Like he said, people deserve a second chance in life! I wish I was able to contact him and help out in some way!
@TheFallsCapone You are right that you cannot always believe what you are told. My brother is a drug addict and has been homeless many times because of it. For a long time I would give him money when he would ask for it, because I always felt bad for him and didn't want to see him go without. But then it got to the point I realized he was just using the money for drugs. And when he asked for help, I told him to tell me what he needed, and I would go buy it. He completely flipped out on me because of it! His addictions have destroyed our family. I know you've got to be careful about being too trusting. But, I can assure you that not ALL homeless folks are addicts. I have met a few here and there. And sometimes folks can be a victim of circumstances. I met a woman and her daughter living out of their van. (In Indianapolis, IN). The mom had been laid off work, and slowly but surely they lost everything they had. I had twenty bucks on me, and gave it all to her. I've always wondered how they were doing.
I cried seeing this. I hope things got better for him. This is very sad and relatable..
i grew up poor or less than the average person i’ve never been homeless but i remember living in a shed with my father and brother when i very young and at the time i didn’t think much of it but now that i’m 21 and seeing how it really is you have to appreciate what you have when you have it and i hope it works out for this guy i feel sorry for him
What do you do now? How's your dad and brother?
Have you ever heard of the concept of a sentence?
Bro, you couldn’t give the man a ride after he missed his bus?
Where do homeless people get the bus too.
he can’t have a destination to go to because he’s homeless?
@@Dirge4july yeah so where. A squat perhaps.
@@Dirge4july thats fucked up but i definitely had a good ass laugh😂
@@Dirge4july not funny. be careful what u say
The fact that his wishes weren’t for himself... shows he’s a very kind and selfless person
It’s such a shame he seems like such a good and smart guy too
His family isnt worth shit. Most arent. Hope hes able to get a sag card again.
Not exactly. The experience humbles you. I've been there before myself. It makes you understand you are not immune from degradation even if you are a kind or selfless person.
You just took the words out of my mouth
Most homeless are homeless for being selfless, my dad included unfortunately. Nice guys do finish last in this society of "sharks".
his tone changed when he mentioned about his so called friends. Also a very eloquent speaker
I was previously homeless a long time ago. At that stage , it seems like everyone gives up on you. But there's always someone. Tell your story It's possible to get out, never give up, no matter how hopeless it seems. ❤

Totally agree Tommy.

He had to go through it to understand. He had to be humbled. We all have to be. It's called Humanity.
Alot of the people being interviewed in this channel have very similar wishes
I noticed that as well! I wish him well and is a good soul!
Very thought provoking. I wish you well Sir. You deserve to live your best life from now, being wise and kind.
The saddest part of this video for me is seeing an honest guy just talk candidly about how he has got to where he is. He's not putting on an act, playing for sympathy, or anything other than just describing his situation.
Most people assume bad habits have landed people into a world of homelessness, and as this guy has just said, it can happen without warrant and to those who were once living a 'normal' life.
I have experienced homelessness. It's the constant thinking you have to do which wears you down. Where is the next meal? When can I use a bathroom next? Where can I find somewhere quiet and dry just to close my eyes and get some rest?
I pray to God this guy, and others who suffer similarly, can find hope to start with and then possibly the answers to get themselves back on track. I've been fortunate enough to be able to get myself back in a solid job and relationship, but really wish that for others who have gone through, or are currently going through, a similar experience.
Don't judge, just be considerate and help whenever you can. It means the world to someone who has nothing. ✌️❤️

I see this reaction under many of those videos. Why do people expect that it is just his duty to help?! Sorry but it is really so unfair! Why we don't help? Why each of us don't at least try to help those people? Could be food, clothes or just a human question: Hey, how are you? What do you need most?
@@ralitsapetrunova314 It seems like for this interviewer, an obvious choice to help, even in a small way is necessary. You have basically exploited this man for your purpose & views.

2020 was the worst year of my life. I had a good job in Sydney Australia, living by myself and my cat, saving money, working out everyday, saving for holidays..... One day I got so sick I ended at the hospital.... Blood cancer diagnosed... I thought I was going to die.... I lost so much weight and probably I needed blood transfusion... In the middle of covid crisis..... Then I got fired from my job, I couldn't work as I was extremely sick at the time.... Four months later I got a little bit better but I was still underweight and had anemia.. I took a flight back home as my savings were going down fast and if I didn't act quickly I will end up dead at the hospital or homeless. Right now I'm doing better, living with my parents as I'm still recovering but when shit happens, it happens very fast.... Also my partner at that time didn't help me, he left me too... So I lost everything, my savings, my job, my financial freedom, my independence, my health......... The worst year of my life!!! I still have some health issues and I'm broke but at least I'm alive.. 🙄
Sorry to hear that, I hope you continue to feel better!
Blessings to you i pray for a better times for you

alex Cooper you really can’t. 😞
I feal sorry for this guy and for everyone in this kind of situations. But one think I am suspicious about is: when he get a job, why can't he keep it? And that car he got robed off, can we be sure he didn't sell it or whatever to get to the money for whatever, possibly drugs? I mean that's the second car he,, lost'' do to some weird circumstances.
@alex entrepreneur then with a little scopolamine I could have you sign all your money over to me.
This guy doesn't even have a selfish wish, he's homeless and still wants what's best for the world and not just himself, that's goddamn beautiful I hope he's doing better now but life isnt fair like that.

Especially a bad family. Not family. Ive never turned my back on mine, and vice versa. Sorry yours and so manys do tho. Hope you got thru it.
Im sorry but you cant generalize all families and friends. true family and friends wouldnt let you homeless no matter what
Not every family, there are some that will support you no matter what, but yes others aren’t so lucky.
That is True. Same happened to me n now I live under the bridge with the Trolls..
Than thats not family
Family always got your back even when its hard
This is extremely sad and made made me cry! I hope he is ok
There isn’t any family or friends in today’s world, it’s do everything on your own now. Praying for all in this situation
A lesson for everyone. Always save your money independently from your partner. No matter how much you love your partner.
You don't know what could happen in 10 years, think from logic. And always keep saving structurally. And yes, share costs together. Be fair.
This advice was free.
Especially in the USA where marriage laws are totally against men (or the one with more money). Always have a backup plan - money to quit your job and/or leave a failed relationship. It's about planning for your own survival. Those who do not plan, plan on relying on other people's generosity or outright failure.
Well said have a back up plan. Then say to your partner this is for me, end of discussion.
A good man, had some bad luck
@@blagger42 nooo. Never mention it to no one.
Very true, have to protect yourself , you never know ...
I'm praying for him because this could happen to anyone
Hello friend have you seen John Ramirez story,Evangelist 💌
He is carpenter now as I read up
America is a certain type of country, you can work hard and get completely screwed over by the system.
Yes, praying will definately help him and others to get out of a situation that God has got him into.
Any1 that gets married.. dont get married if your a man. Simple as that.
Any updates on this guy? I hope he's in a better place!
I keep coming back to this clip hoping to hear a positive update on Dennis
Thank you
The simple fact that the 3 wishes he chose instinctively were wishes for the whole world instead of for himself proves how much of a great and rare human he is. Chances are if you ask me to make 3 wishes they’d be for me... He also never talked bad about his ex girlfriend or said it was other people's fault. It's absolutely horrible that lots of people with no heart/empathy live comfortably and it's often the most kind-hearted people who end up homeless. :(
Ouch so true. But then again the story of Snow White & Rose Red teaches us that good fortune💍💰follows those who are truly kind hearted. ✨💛✨
People like this are a dime a dozen just go downtown anywhere lmao
That's why it is written,"through much tribulations shall we enter the Kingdom of Heaven" and " God shall redeem the poor of his people, and all tears shall He wipe away" Faith is wonderful when it is obtained like fresh spring water to one athirst, let us Pray,Fast and meditate on the important things in life. 😔Which are growing ever more apparent. Lord bless thee 🙏
@@johniedebt6522 oh shut up lol gods not real and you look foolish right now
That is scripture. It's stated that its easier to thread a camel 🐫through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven
My heart goes out to you, my friend. I'm an actor and have faced homelessness. Being on the street. Its a bottomless pit that the judgemental onlooker can't begin to fathom. I NEVER ignore a man or women in legitimate need. Even if its just to sit with them for a while and listen. Give a cigaratette, make a phone call, acknowledge their existence. Most of the time I can't afford to help myself but I will always do what I can. Always.
Basically being a movie actor has nothing to do with art or simply the desire to practice a form of expression.
Cinema is always the same as itself by the Lumière brothers age: a bit of cheap amazement .
EvenByzantine icons are more dynamic in content ...
Cinema does not represent drama, it is a drama itself even when movies are comedies or romantic stories.
Movie actors are either evil magic pipers for unwary or unwary people lost in a nightmare that mingles with daydreams of fame, wealth and sex: that’s the tragedy.
Cigarettes are bad for you. You shouldn't be giving any out. Smh.
Greetings. Have a nice day. Cocaine would be better
I think for some, they have a distorted view that homelessness is because of irresponsible behavior, such as drug and alcohol abuse, or failing to conform to societal standards in seeking employment. This is true in some cases, but not all. When someone homeless approaches them for money, they may automatically assume the individual will use it to support their drug or alcohol addiction. Unfortunately, genuine homeless people without these ulterior motives will be denied help because of it. I know sometimes it is difficult in discerning who is and not honest in these cases, but it is good to have a heart that a lot of them are in need.
Agreed with all except the cigarette, which is the most hideous, destructive, ugly, ocean and air polluting trash, an addiction that causes homelessness. It's the one case where I don't give a dollar: if the person is smoking when they ask. On all other points, well said sir and I agree.
Guys got the heart of gold
It’s not easy buddy. I’m going through a rough patch & can’t see a way out. 🙏🏼
The good thing you discover when your are broke or sick or homeless, is how many real friends you have.
Or how many fake friends you Had!
Surprising actually
I'd say you discover more things about yourself rather than other people's behavior.
Yes, correct. However it's the friends who steal and become extremely untrustworthy are hard to help. Give him $100 for food and it goes straight to buying drugs. Give him food then calls you an asshole.
It's hurts when the people actually try and still end up homeless. But some need to help themselves first
Yes true. But it’s good in other hand cuz when you become fixed again. You don’t have fake people in your life.
I wish this man the success and future he deserves.
Such a nice person. Hope his wishes become true. For all.
Bless you brother
3 wishes he said,did you notice he didn’t wish anything for himself,God bless you my Friend ❤️
Tomy Jenkins god left guys like him a long time ago
@@Prestonesfpv God left us all a long time ago. We were an old toy to him till he got a new one. Think woody and buzz.
This man is literally homeless and the first wish he made was not for money but to cure all diseases I hope life blesses this man in every way possible cause I can tell that man is selfless and humble.
"Literally". Is there another way of being homeless?
@@toffeeriot4219 The word "literally" has been used so much for emphasis that they expanded the definition to include it.
@@toffeeriot4219 He was trying to reiterate that he was homeless.
You know the interviewer is not a magical genie right?
Wishes are fantasy, does no one any good. Second, is there a way to be "figuratively" homeless? As opposed to "literally" homeless.
Man, i hope this man is doing well now. He's a smart cookie
Love you Dennis. Hope all is well now.
"bad relationship that wiped me out financially" is a very long way to say divorce.
Actually I thought he went a long way to avoid saying this relationship was with a man. (Which may have been his husband, may not have been. Some people never marry but get wiped financially in a relationship for various reasons.)
He seems gay, but women these days will rip you apart and no one will care.
A correct way to say it
What difference does it make what his sexuality and personal circumstances are? He is homeless and in need of help. Imagine it was a video about you. That you had worked hard your whole life and ended up destitute and alone and people were sitting with their mobile devices judging you and making crass comments. Wake up you fucking morons.
In sharia law we don't have alimony nor half your assets gone. Yeah, i agree this guy looks like a good guy being blackmailed by his ex wife for alimony and half assets. His half assets are depleted and eventually gone for paying the alimony. And still he won't tell people its because his ex wife simply because he is a good guy who still think he has to defend his ex wife honor.
I was in a musical with him a few years ago. Great talent. I hope you're doing better now, D!
@@DukeGMOLOL I don't think he is on drugs. As he said, sometimes situations are such that people are just stuck in that specific situation.
Bitch, look for him and help him since you know him! “I hope you’re doing better now, D.” Wtf is that!?
@@DINOKH99 couldn’t agree more
Do you know what has happened to him since that interview ,
I really hope he's in a better place today! Sending Love to him❣️🥰
so true…hopefully he’s doing much better now🙏🏿
you guys notice how all three of his wishes were literally selfless? what an amazing dude.
@PED GSPmy boy calm down
@PED GSPfacts 💯 after a downfall you become humble but I really feel sorry for the man
@@kenmoks1390 why u think he was an asshole before? Shitty things happen to humble people too
Not amazing, most homeless people are like that, because its easy to be selfless when you have nothing. I've seen shit like this in person, they are crabs in a bucket! This guy, like so many others, will never leave the street, he has found his community!
@PED GSP stop crying you need a kiss in the forehead?
Homelessness could happen to anyone it doesn't matter how you look, age, or income just be thankful for what you have
Something tells me income helps forgo homelessness somehow.
I’m definitely thankful for what I have for damn sure
TRUTH!!
A hurricane?
Daniel Garcia TRUE !
my heart goes out to you. i hope 5 years later you are in a better situation
He is right. Sometimes it’s bad luck and bad people- I have been there too! I hope things work out for him
If you ever see this ...God bless you man. Love from The UK.
You can see the hurt in my guys eyes when he started to talk about his family and friends.
Love and respect to all the struggling people out there. We’re all gonna make it.
Am a single working parent & when you're down, sadly many people look away, including family, which is really hard, because they shouldn't.
Once people get back on their feet they remember who tried to help them when they really needed it. Those who didn’t try to help should be forgotten and dismissed.
He has 2,300+ friends on Facebook yet he’s sleeping on the street. Makes one wonder what ‘friend’ actually means on FB.
Did you find him on Facebook? Or did 🤔 I miss something in the interview? He seems like a great guy!
@@sharonb.7867 2 week old comment on a 2 year old video.
They are not real friends on facebook i was homeless i asked for help nothing from no one
@K Gray go fly a kite
@K Gray His comment was coherent. Why insult him?
Well it sounds like at least he did not sell his soul. God bless him.
@Sean _ your soul
Wow where do you sell a soul?
@@quackquack3469 to satan..
Amen
Gee Kee ik right lmao
What a nice guy and well spoken, I hope you give him a ride as he miss his bus.
Stay strong, didn't give up, and pray for you all.
Guy ends with "I hope there's some usable footage there" like a true actor. What a nice guy Dennis is.
guy made one mistake and it was his down fall every man needs to watch this.
if she is not helpful at less find one thats not adding to your problems in life
Kinda looks like Dan soder
@@sko1beer I'm pretty sure that his partner was another guy (not a she), but that is still good advice (straight or gay).
Dennis is a gay
@@MyKali2009 why?
Imagine a world where a split marriage of relationship makes a man homeless due to financial loss
Edit: man was just referring to this specific case. Although disproportionately, this does happen to women.
Edit: thanks for the likes
Edit 2: wow 1k likes...thanks people. Appreciate it 👌
Welcome to America, bro.
@delia ratcliff I fully agree that this can and has happened to a woman. However from my point of view and what I have experienced, the overwhelming majority of these situations involve men and the court system leans towards the woman in these cases.
If you take a look at the percentage of homeless people, it is undoubtedly disproportionate where the majority is comprised of men.
@delia ratcliff yes that is fully true. Men are overall more violent in domestic violence cases. But that's not what I'm disagreeing with. What I'm referring to is specifically the financial losses and power that a man has in these cases. Yes statistics can be manipulated to sway to any side that someone wants. What I referring to is the raw data. The percentage of the population that is homeless that are male vs female.
I also believe it's unfair to say that women are less financuaially stable than men. Women are just as capable and as strong as men. They have different strengths than men but that's not to say they are less superior. Men and women inherently both have different strengths and weaknesses and these cancel out. I believe that statement implies that women are less capable of being financially stable than men which not only is insulting to women but it doesn't agree with the numbers. If more men are homeless than women and homelessness comes from financial instability, I'd say that in fact men are more financially unstable than women.
@@sachinbahadoorsingh5725 Sadly I agree with you. I'm from London and the majority of homeless people appear to be men...maybe many are ex service who cant fit back into normal life. Its heartbreaking, especially when some are young people.
@@astorrian6247 I'm a young male just becoming an adult and based on what I've seen it scares me how much power a woman can have over a man most likely with the court system being on her side
"Sometimes the *choices are made for you*, and you don't have a choice" - perfectly encapsulates our present condition
Teared up on this statement.
I love u brother , we all love you brother . And yes sometimes choices choose us .
Give that guy a hot meal in return for his time and sharing his life story, a grown man has shed tears.
Crazy how family and friends just turn away when people are in serious trouble.
yeah I'm at that point now. Never would have believed how evil my own family, my own parents could be, and the worst part being had i succeeded, my intention was to help all my family financially.
I learned this too.
I’m not gonna spend my hard earned money on someone’s drug habit .... it’s hard for everyone even non homeless people.
Texas Dude exactly if you want to use drugs that’s fine, but you got to afford that shit yourself. Otherwise they haven’t earned it yet they expect money lol
Yup. When my dad was alive, he had lots of friends who “cared” about him. When he passed away, those friends never came to his funeral or paid their respects. It’s pretty messed up when “so called friends” only care when you are well and alive.
Thanks!
Thank you
My and my wife are in the same position ourselves right now, we live outta hotels when we can but it's just been real rough. I feel exactly what he says. Especially about family not helping, thinking you aren't doing anything or trying, or even making the wrong choices. That's sadder to me than our and people like us in the same situation imo.
I wish the best of luck for you and your wife so sorry to hear what you are experiencing❤️🩹
Thanks so. Mu h whyvgave just a bjoso a see
hi please visit any sikh temple near you for free food...hope everything works out best for you...keep remembering god always
@@KHALSA222 great idea
You guys gotta pray. All day every day. Ask for what you need. Repent. Ask for mercy. Jesus is merciful and benevolent!
Believe me, most people are closer to being homeless than they think. It CAN happen to you.
Yes it can...it nearly happened to me.
We own our home outright...title in hand, yet I fear a change in lifes circumstances can put us on the street too.
It DID happen to me about 5 years ago. I was only homeless for 3 weeks but it happened fast.
@@marsjam4117 agreed. My dad always used to say 'you're only one paycheck away from being homeless'.
Yessir
