This lovely young man is articulate & has a very firm grasp of what's going on. He'd make a very good social worker. He inspires trust. He looks very young. Sad he's homeless but perhaps this challenging experience will fortify him to make him a very effective Social Worker, should he choose to follow such a path. Empathy. Many successful, innovative, great people had challenging beginnings like he has. I see a bright future for him & wish that for all. Beloved humans deserve sustainence.
For those of you commenting that you want to help Dion remember that he's one in a large pool of people needing help. We may not be able to help Dion but their are people you pass in your day to day life just like him that need you to stand up and take action
Dion's a young black Male and he deserves help just as much as anyone does . This video is regarding Dion and that's why everyone is commenting about helping him in his specific situation. I agree there are others that need help but again let's not take away from Dion right now. Thank you Mark for making this young man VISIBLE.
Watching these ones really seriously anger me. this man is disabled he receives probably SSI each month since he said he had a representative payee. A person that is set by Social Security if you are deemed incapable of making financial decisions for yourself. Most people don't realize that if you have never worked before in your life and you've been disabled since birth the maximum allowable amount from federal is $721 a month more than likely he lived in a share house or some sort of group home situation and or trained nursing situation that he ran from there's no money left over for anything. More than likely his representative payee is still collecting checks on him without housing him properly. If you can prove that you're being stolen from there's really not much they can do since they are supposed to make decisions on your behalf , the amount that he gets each month doesn't go far after having to pay your portion of rent/utilities using your Social Security check if you live with parents/ family the only food stamps you are entitled to $16 a month. This is an obvious case of somebody slipping through the cracks and ending up on the street because of incompetence.
Damn i could be just like him any of us could be like this pray to god and keep your head up and do good in life i am so thankful i have a roof over my head food and transportation and job thanks to me hard work and praying to god if u dont believe in a higher power i dont suggests that
He seemed very clear of mind. He may be using but I was not under that impression. In my opinion he is just a young guy who is down on his luck. At any rate, I felt disgusted when he said that the people who gave them food and water were ticketed by the police. That said, God sees everything!
A homeless lady is another chicago homeless video says that some people have been in her tent city for 35 years. My question is why are all this being discussed now? These are in mostly Liberal Run cities. Chicago, LA. , SF San diego...etc Blaming it on the President or Governor is going to backfire on the Libs.
Illinois is one of, if not the most politically corrupt state in the U.S. Left or Right it doesn't even matter. I'm sure that's why Obama got out of there when he did. How many Illinois governors have gone to prison?
great interview! obviously a person not involved with drugs, being homeless and staying sober or somewhat functional is almost impossible! not judging just saying!
neat to know there are millions of empty homes owned by banks... putting some needy folks in them probably could be a tax write off...In America housing is a necessity but it is also treated as a commodity...White man stole the free lands of the Indians, paved the trails created cities and taxes and endless rules, those who govern and love power- rule from golden homes with every comfort... and the police are their lap dogs to enforce their vision of reality...Twin Oakes is actively seeking new community members... so intentional communities may help with finding a meaningful place for some people!
I don't know how people can sleep with rats and mice running around and infecting sleeping and living areas. I hate even seeing one from a distance never mind trying to sleep with nothing between you and them.
But I didn't hear him wish for a job... if he would have wished for a job he could have at least two of those things and would have had room for one more wish ...well I hope he gets help though
Ironic all these Sanctuary citys have the big tent city's. Oakland. S F and L A. Biggest homeless problems. They and you know who they are want all these people to be homeless. Here in the red Midwest we take care of our homeless.
How did we get here? Just how did we get here? I would go and find one of my relatives and beg for a place to sleep. That is the hardiest way of living, and the most humiliating. These people are put at more daily risks in life, on every scale. I understand that IP is trying to get the awareness out, but is there a way that your organization can contact some of these people distance relatives just for a space in their basement, or shed, or something. If they can do family tree searches.....then why can a relative be found, that may be able to be of some assistance. And come to think of it. Doesn't Chicago have abandoned warehouses, vacant schools, vacant libraries that belong to the State of Chicago that these people can find shelter in.

What a sad way to start his birthday:( 💔
May someone please help this brother, his eyes tell me he needs some HELP!
God bless this young man ❤
Sweet Dion. Oh how I wish I could help him! This breaks my heart.
This poor kid....fuck I wish I had ten million like those fucking Kardashians. And I would help all these people
Loki John.....I am agree with you in whole 🌎 earth every people must have shelter, food, schools and jobs
I'd like to help this man, anyway to get in contact?
there's a lot of empty lots in some parts of chicago. the governed should make housing units or something for them.
yeah but that might make them too comfortable so they don't move on in life. Too permanent and too close to just getting a house
@@artbyrobot1 who said it would be permanent???? they'd have to pay rent eventually once they find a job
Noticing some nystagmus in his eye movements. Anyone else notice this?
Kitcat_007 my pussy stinks I know. I meant no disrespect to this gorgeous black man. Lovely skin and clear eyes he has. Shitty hairstyle though!
Yes I noticed this too - thanks for putting a name to this unusual condition.
Harry Pusey - I like the way you deal with insults XD
If a person has this type of eye movement it usually means a neurological issue in the body.
The Nurse in me caught that a few seconds into the video
God bless you, may God continue guide, heal, and protect you dear friend🙏🏼
Sweet young man who just needs some decent people to recognize that.
Can we get an update on how Dion is doing?
he is handsome.....its a shame what has been through.
i really don't understand why didn't take his check and go somewhere else. he seems to just accept it. he's young and handsome so sad breaks my ❤

The payee representative has taken all of his money. He needs an advocate.
I used to pass by there - this tent city sprung up one day and was gone the next
Carib Carib sad they run them out like that...
WOW... I feel sorry for this guy... I hope and pray he gets the help he needs...
What is the update on Dion?
What's the location? I have some items I can give food as well
What a sweet boy. Ive been homeless too it sucks in the winter you could die
Viewing from Canada makes America look like a 3red world country.
Of the Muslim variety? SMH...yup, let's bring Islamaphobia in to the discussion. Surely you voted for/support Trump.
Plenty of homeless in Canada too.
Bro, America is great. You're only looking at the ugly side; every country has it's homeless
Okay did anybody help this man or is there a way we can find out where he's at so we can him hello!

great interview!
obviously a person not involved with drugs, being homeless and staying sober or somewhat functional is almost impossible!
not judging just saying!
Make that 💰💰
Good video
Poor thing is mentally handicapped. I hope someone helps him because it's a cruel world out there. 😢
He reminds me to Charly Chaplin.
when housing becomes a wish!
Any way to get in touch with the interviewee?
U look familiar
Well, the county could put up more camping zones and allow people to live there and not under viaducts.
Handsome!
Damn I thought from him being in the Sandlot he'd be livin rn
FuhgLy_DotA "he'd be living rn" implying he is dead or still without housing?
Chris Handsome Like the rich life bro
This shit is sad
Nystagmus?
so did he get access to a washing machine in the camp?
💔💔😭😭

Plzzz help this boy plzzzz
What’s up with the darting eye movements
What is this guy on? Look at his eyes.. Wtf. Lol god bless
al g
He is probably tired...
Meth will make your eyes do that.
But he could easily have an eye condition of some kind.
He's got nystagmus. I'm sure it's related to whatever condition qualifies him to receive "checks".
