God bless you Mark! You are fighting the good fight. I have a brother named Mark who has been homeless and in and out of jails since his 20s and he's now in his 50s. He's a survivor and keeps positive. If we could get more politicians who are caring and could fight and push for affordable housing that would surely help. Keep positive buddy and take care of yourself get good rest and eat well. There is a song about homeless people called "pray for me" by Rob Crosby. On youtube if you listen to it it will touch your heart and soul. Thanks again Mark...
Ally and Tj ..here the newly engaged couple from the video..We have been in an apartment now since March 2018. And we got married June 2018 and now we are expecting and our baby boy Wesley Allen Burlingame and he will be born in June 2020!!!! We are so greatful for our friends here in the video . We are all very good friends now . Praise the Lord for his goodness !!!
That's so amazing guys! Congratulations!!!! It must have been so hard to be out there especially in the cold! I was an addict and me and my husband slept in our truck for almost 4 months in winter in indiana. It was so hard! We fought all the time we almost lost our relationship 😪 now we have been sober 2 years and I'm a nail tech! I'm so happy for u guys
Hey,my name is Lou and watched the videos and was wondering how did you and tj make out are you guys still married are you still in an apartment? Hope all worked out..
I love these people. They're my friends. One of my favorite experiences with Sinbad was when he invited us over for a hot dog potluck supplying the food himself. These people live in extreme poverty and yet are still hospitable & share abundantly. Thanks for what you do Mark, it was phenomenal having you visit.
While your sentiment of not wanting to contribute to animal death is noble, your judging of others and ridiculing gifts bestowed the needy is very.... well... not very classy. Be like the prophet Daniel or Nanak but Jesus said not to Judge your brothers who partake, likewise, those who partake should not judge those who do not. The logic this scripture applies to "using the erb", it applies here, as there is no LAW AGAINST eating meat, its a person's option to step up to a more pious lifestyle, but they must do so without attempting to judge and shame others not in like mind.
Jason Sage there are always going to be "those" remarks coming from someone who isn't looking at the situation from all sides. I do love your manner in commenting back. I hope you will be doing what you can to help these people as well. God bless!
So sad..... any haters watching this thinking oh those guys are bums, just remember life can throw a major curve ball at you anytime. We never know what can happen.
Nobody that has walked in the shoes of an addict will ever understand...I'm speaking of what led them to addiction! It wasn't mere temptation. Noooo. Don't throw crap at us. Folks we have adored as long we have, paid taxes to, etc., can be judge, jury and yes I have had to see them. Every day. But don't think all these people out here just got by with bon bons and television. So much pain and hardship that you would never wish on your loved ones. ✌
Sinbad looks fun to hang out with. It's awesome how folks in this situation manage to smile. They could teach us all something. I hope they find housing soon.
I lived in a tent camper for a few months homeless. I love what you guys are doing. I totally respect you guys. Fixing the homeless problem is like taking a bale of hay and taking it back to its original state. Super hard project with little chance of success. There is an answer out there. I just worked and worked. I did get out of my situation. I pray all the people in your video do too.
Sad to realize that all the people you made videos with have more respect, happiness, peace and love to spread and share then other people in general. Love your channel and what you're doing. You're a great man.
So true, we don’t need anything to be happy. We all live in an illusion that we do. I grew up poor and remember being happier then. It’s just about being around likeminded people free of materialistic ideation.
I am from the UK. I have just discovered this channel. it breaks my heart to see people struggling. I was homeless myself for 19 months. I lived in a forest in a tent, a beaten up caravan in the scottish highlands, and in my car. i also did a live in job. I struggled, but i did it. i know i would have coped much better in a community like this one. I felt so unsafe and alone, even though i was with my partner and 2 dogs. I am now housed, but the adventurer in me misses the open space. i am also struggling to keep this small flat ( apartment). i think once you have a taste of getting out of the system, it is hard to get back in to it. I wish all the best for these people. They clearly care for each other. they are right, no one should be living like this, unless it is their choice to do so. The UK is terrible and the rise of homelessness is becoming higher by the year.
The Indigo Traveller I noticed in Oxford this winter how many more homeless people there are on the streets, My opinion There is a direct correlation between rising cost of rent & stagnation of wage's. It's not as cold hear but the damp makes it misrable to be without a heated room.
@@jamesandrew62 It's really heartbreaking to hear about the homeless specially in the U.K. where they have some of most expensive costs in the world even for normal housing!
I'm from upstate. One year my landlord refused to renew lease as she planned for a remodel. It caused my 2 youngest and myself to be homeless and in a tent for about 6 months. It changes you forever
Hugs to every soul lost along the way, no human being should have to worry about what tomorrow brings. Thank you for caring and sharing the love...stay safe all This Canadian Woman keeps you in my prayers xo
Ive notice that most Homeless people have always have a positive attitude(with what little they have)...Wish everyone can see this video and learn from them and most of all HELP THEM..
That is because Self Reliance creates a secure feeling inside. Most people have fear of losing everything or ending up homeless etc. But these people do not have that fear anymore. They know they can survive and that relieves the anxiety...They Are Truly self reliant and FREE !
Its heartbreaking to think that humans are still left to struggle to survive like this when the world is so prosperous. This is proof of the blinding ignorance of those that are wealthy enough to put it all to an end. These people are amazing, their stories are touching hearts even in Australia xx
you are crazy he wasn't selfish your mind is twisted. You are the one who lost the money!And he was the one who build a home for the homeless. Stop your devil talking
It breaks my heart to see these beautiful people living like this. These people have value they are our brother sisters, this should not be happening 😥😥😥
Beautiful people! Wish you all the luck! Love your little community, very special and increasingly rare in a society where people are scared of the unknown and where isolation is on the increase. Hope you get in soon. ❤️
Think, there's more high spirits and good cheer in this community than some of your up market apartments surrounding Central Park New York...Goes to show there's somethings that can't be bought. Thank God!
gerry morgan The folks in those apartments go in and close their doors. They rarely interact with their neighbors more than just in passing and they are dependent on no one. When you know your neighbors it’s because you see them more than just in passing. Realizing that we need each other is the fundamental difference between the folks in the apartments and the ones in the tents. Maybe it is economics, not having everything you need, but that’s not all of it. When you’re poor you have to ask for help, but you choose who you ask. The folks that are in the same situation are easier to ask for help from, because they know how it feels and it just makes it easier. If they can’t help they will bend over backwards to find someone who can and chance are it’s going to be someone that’s in the homeless community. It becomes a network. So sometimes you depend on them and they depend on you, you become friends and a community. I think total self reliance, which seems to be part of the great American dream, can make a human a lonely creature. I’ve seen whole families go into their house close the doors and every one of them go into separate rooms and close those doors. And they are seen as having attained the great American dream. It’s just so lonely. Sorry I didn’t realize how long this comment was getting. Bye!
When the Corona virus is over here in UK I am going to help the homeless when I can, you are a awesome person with a good heart mark, your inspirational beyond words❤️
Hello Mark, I just wanted to thank you for everything you do to help get the word out about the homeless. I was homeless 33 years ago for two years and I understand the battle and the battles not bad enough with the elements and the fact that people treat you like a pariah. Little do those people know it could be them tomorrow. Keep up the good work Mark and I'll be sitting here praying that you get to help someone everyday and hopefully my disability will get better so I can do the same. I was only 20 to 21 years old when I was homeless and now due to being disabled I am one foot out the door to being homeless again and I thank God everyday for my family oh, if it were not for my mother and father I probably wouldn't be here. I'll be praying for you and all those that help and most importantly all those that are still living on the street to survive. Thanks for all you do and God bless! :-)
Heartbreaking to see how a first-world country can ignore the plight of it's people. God bless you and your families for doing what you do...love..all the way from Suzi in Aus
Suzi Jorgensen what's your answer? To pay them attention? Or would you prefer the government steal, sorry I mean tax, my money to give them what I've earned?
The US Nationalist Report ah no, what’s wrong is this myth that homeless people were just working folks who fell on hard times . That would be such a small percentage.
@Eugene Stoner it is not easy not all the persons are like you !! Nobody give an oportunity and many of those persons got tired of looking for a little bit of simpathy and get a job , i can not remember how many doors i did knock for me to work always the same response we will call you , they never do they say that for you to stop bothering them .
I like your channel. It hits home for me. I was homeless in Houston,Tx. from 1999-2011. I survived it and now get my ssid and am stable as a rock with a youtube video channel called Houston bluescene, which has 560 vids of blues bands performing in houston. I started the vids in 2000. Thanks for the channel, which I just discovered and subscribed to. Later, and keep up the good work p.s. I was documentig things while I was homeless by writing and there are several notebooks covering about 8 years, which I could someday, maybe turn into a book.
Maybe I will when I figure out how to go about getting a book written, published, marketed and sold. It will definitely be called THE REST OF MY LIFE because that is what I entitled my journal when I first started writing. Thank you enlightened
Wool socks, bring them wool not cotton. Wool is an excellent insulator and maintains its insulation when wet. If some of these people have jobs they might consider buying a van. I've been forced to move into one with my disabled son. We live in the Boston area where rents are some of the highest in the country and all we have for income is my social security retirement and my son's disability check. I have created a RUclips channel to chronicle our transition from lifelong apartment dwellers to permanent van dwellers and share my tips for building habitable shelter in a van on a low budget, it's called VANgazmic Voyage. I applaud you for your work with the homeless, you are truly doing the Lord's work and God bless us all!
jamesandrew62 Yes. Ventilation is as critical as insulation. I have a roof vent fan that runs off a 12 volt deep cycle marine battery that charges when the engine runs.
Instead of living in a van why not get out of Boston? I'll give one example of a fairly big city with rents about a third of Boston: Tucson, AZ. You can get a 2br apartment in a safe area for $500 all day long there. Added benefit: no snow ever. A little closer to home: South NJ. The little towns between Philly & Atlantic City are fairly safe & way cheaper than anything near Boston. Tucson is the better bet just for the weather; I intend to retire there someday.
EntropyFan This is our home, we are deeply rooted here. My mother was born and raised in East Boston, I have dozens of family members scattered throughout the area. My children were born and raised in Salem and now my grandchildren are growing up here. My son is brain damaged from epileptic seizures five years ago and all his specialists are at Massachusetts General hospital, one of the finest in the world. And Boston's north shore and Cape Ann is a beautiful place to live, if you can afford it. Living rent free in the van has made it affordable. It's not as uncomfortable as you might think van dwelling in winter. I'm chronicling our voyage on my own RUclips channel called, "Vangazmic Voyage," please visit and you'll see what I mean. Best of luck in your retirement.
Donald Whitehead - I plan to live in a van for my retirement if not before. It's different when it's by choice. I will be on BLM land in AZ. I'm sure you've heard all about it. I will definitely check out your channel! So glad you and your son are comfortable and thriving in your van!
Dear owner of this channel, First i would like to say thank you for sharing and posting these amazing, beautiful, high quality videos. You take your precious time to make these beautiful videos. Secondly you are so inspirational for helping those in need and shedding light on the issue of homelessness and poverty in this country. I believe you are doing the Lords work! Gods heart is close to the poor. "The righteous considereth the cause of the poor, but the wicked regardeth not to know it". Proverbs 29 vs 7 KJV God bless your ministry sir!
Thank you mark ,for giving a unbiased voice to the homeless, i live in area with alot of homeless population and i feel that the people that live here have lost there humanity and just assume horrible things about the homeless population... not everyone that is homeless is a drug addict and vice versa there stories all are different and what people dont realize anyone can become homeless , these are human beings they need help and love ❤️ if everyone on here just donated 5 dollars it could help with marks cause Thank u mark again for what u are doing , and everyone that helps this great cause This is not ok to be happening we have to all come together as americans and help our neighborhoods donate clothes , money , food to your local non profits that help the homeless ❤️sorry for the long post
Your attitude is uplifting and thank you for sharing your experience. I agree that it is important not to assume things about people, as they can often be based on false stereotypes. I enjoyed reading your contribution, Natalia!
Mark You are a Wonderful Person and I Love the fact You are helping them and Carmen is a Amazing Man and he just gets to my Heart :) Wow Amazing Two Men but they do need our Help.
Well, I got twenty acres in Very Northern California if anyone wants to permanently help with a wildlife project. But we've got no money. Just trees. And water.
Tarzan so there still people that needs help not all addict steal lie or anything bad they just have a problem people like you is what makes it hard for people to get help for change I’m a recovery addict I been off herion for almost 2 years there still hope for these people
America isn't like this,the people are like this and choices they make to get them here..drugs alcohol not wanting to work and have more in life...most time for these people it's a choice!! There is job,s resources if you want to take that step to help yourself..if not this is what you end up with...you must help yourself first!!! No one owes us a thing!!
Dianne Looney Congress hasn't raised the wage in over 10 years slick! Spain just upped the wage to over 11 an hr, most of Europe is more than America, at what 8 bucks an hr? And save the rederick about planning ahead, when you lose your long time job due to bankruptcy at 50 you have to start over, or have a learning problem, couldn't afford college after high school, lived with a silver spoon in your mouth for decades and didn't work then ran out of money and had to go out and work at 50, 10 bucks an hr don't get it! It costs a dollar a piece for a apple today, cost of living has leapfrogged in the last 10 year's but wage hasn't, and so many are fucked in the states today for it. Thanks congress
keep it up Mark, I am a So.Cal local myself born in Downey, I am a recovering addict you give me hope with your 22 years clean, I don't even have 22 days yet, but I've recently had a change of heart I've got 6 months to get my act together, in 10 days I'll be off to Seattle WA, please pray for me to be able to make it, I have to get out of Oroville CA I keep Falling here because I know everyone who has dope so I think it will be easier to stay clean if I don't know everyone who is dealing, So I'm off to Seattle to work. Eric Underwood
Eric Underwood U can do it. If you really want it you can do it, you can do anything you want if you really want it, I bin clean 10 years and please believe life is so much better, hugs x
Invisible People thank you , if you don't mind I'll give a holler when I get to Seattle, I'll be handing out socks when I can and food too. Thanks again, kind regards. Eric Underwood
Eric Underwood with the effort you're putting forth in attempting to stay clean, I am all for you moving away from the area you were from Milyer with. You can make a brand new start when you move, and I hope that you will remain clean! I pray that you will look for the support of uplifting folks when you move up to Washington state. God bless you in your endeavors, and I will remember you in my prayers tonight! I'm praying for you right now!
Carolyn Nunes thank you so very much God is great and will bless me as long as I LET HIM, thanks for your support, check in with me next week if not to much trouble, kind regards. Eric Underwood
Thanks for doing this series to keep bringing attention to the problem of homelessness. There have been no real solutions because somehow we believe it will just go away on its own if we ignore it enough, the American way as it is with so many things.
what you are doing is just so important and you do it with so much respect and soul... bravo sir, the world needs more people like you, i really hope your spirit will go viral
I was homeless for three years, but really only on the streets for 6 months. I'll never forget my first desert winter. I got so close to God that winter. I've started getting out after watching your videos. I'm a new subscriber. I hope it's ok I'm kinda copying your delivery by filming the local bridge people I drive by everyday now taking my son to his job. I can't keep throwing a couple of bucks with a hug to them. It's gonna take a lot more so I thought I'd get started. Thanks for all you do. Your work through this channel has really changed my life, and I'm so grateful. I feel like you're my friend ! ♥️
God bless you mark, chris, and carmen. You inspire me. Im not doing great right now myself as im unemployed but as soon as i can i will help your great cause. This shouldnt be happening in the usa.
Amen. All well said. We are with you--our family is working to help our neighbors here in Columbus Oh (or wherever we encounger them:). God bless your work!
If there was a way for the fat cats to profit from helping the homeless it would end tomorrow. Sad but true. A large portion of Americans are a few paychecks away from being homeless. They might not admit it but it's a fact.
Seeing this now, I agree 100%, more now than ever since de pandemic. And people are going crazy trying to buy paper towels and toilet paper, what is wrong with us?
What a neat group of people. That one guy was right. We need grass roots community effort to help the homeless. Mark, what you’re doing is so great. I’ve really enjoyed meeting the people in your videos.
It is NOT always about lack of self-discipline that these fellow brothers and sisters wind up in places like this. As i commented to someone on a youtube video a few days ago: "Check yourself before you wreck yourself."
Dude, you are a fine human being and I am very glad to come across this video at a time when I needed my faith in humanity restored. I see in your face that you really care and I love you for that.
***Bless you all*** Gabriel Brothers had turtle necks. I recently bought a few women's. I love them in the winter. My husband and I are OTR Trucker's. We sleep on a twin bed every night and live out of our semi as we save money to get another home. We have 4 grown children. My husband was a Coal Miner for years and they went under do to the EPA. He then went into GAS & Oil, same thing, they stacked all the rig's and again out of work. We live in a area that you either make 100k plus or your on welfare. We lost everything the 2nd time around. Even our 401k is gone. So we are trucking and hoping to clear 70k and get a home again. What's nice about these trucking companies is if you have a clean license, no recent DUI's they will train you and give you money while doing so. Feed and house you as well. It's great opportunity for homeless. If anyone looks into this check out Prime and Rohel Transport. They are two company's that treat you as a person and not a number. My husband got his CDL after high school as a back up in the future. When in-between career jobs he would truck. We've researched so much and failed with several company's. At the moment we are purchasing a semi through Rohel with no money down. We are never negative or in the hole and that's what matters. They offer health insurance after 2 to 3 months, retirement and so on. Perfect for those who are homeless but can drive and take no "scheduled" drugs. They will put you on a bus and get you started within 2 weeks. Driving isn't hard as long as you don't take narcotics, insulin by injection, or ADHD, mood stabilizer drugs. Best wishes everyone!
Again it's a pleasure to be on your channel and you are an amazing man and God bless you for helping all the less fortunate and you're awesome dude for real and don't let anyone tell you different keep up the good work and keep doing God's work God bless you brother and my hat's off to for real.😎💯
If you wanted to send some of them down to Pottsville PA I have a vacant home they could use to protect them from the cold. No electric or water though. Possibility to get the electric turned on. If you group together in one of the large rooms and block off everything you can heat pretty well with a small kerosene heater. I did it for 10 years was a bit ruff but managed ok.
Not war, but for countries who hate us, that's for sure. What about Obama giving millions of dollars to Iran? I am not hating on President Obama because crap like that has been happening WAY before Trump, Obama or Trump. At least with the wars, they are fighting for something. With just GIVING our tax dollars to countries that hate us is reprehensible. Help our own disabled, addicted, elderly, Vets with that money.
I would like to say there is one simple answer, but sadly there is not...Get wood for shelter, learn how to make a mass rocket heater/stove, and wait to get kicked out...Keep a shopping cart around( to transport your rocket stove)..Build up another shack, until they move you on...learn to trap, grow a garden, fish, the world is your oasis...I understand the human need for their little own peace and quiet...
I have been homeless for 5 years. My health is bad but i can not get disability. I have to scrape by where i can. I am human and i would love to have a normal life again
When I was homeless some of the meanest people were the churchy people and then there was the Godly people who treated me like a regular normal person like you fellas God bless you
That could happen. Who owns the property? No sense building shelters if they can be "evicted" at any moment. How did the camp come to be in this particular spot?
If I had money, I would buy land, build a bunch of homes with air/heat/water/toilets and fill them with people and animals. No one (cats, dogs, non-native animals included) should have to suffer these temperatures outside. It's torture. The temperatures have been below zero, and I heard a couple of days ago about a guy freezing to death while walking home from somewhere. It's scary to think about just how easily one of these people or dogs could die in that tent city. If each person with a spare bedroom or even anyone that could offer access to an enclosure or garage with electricity could help one homeless person, these people could be helped RIGHT NOW. I hope the people in this town or nearby consider it.
That’s real sad! The first month we bought our home... we lived 8 days freezing in our own home we just purchased. So to have these people in the cold everyday in the winter is real sad and it shouldn’t be. And ca Carmen said 15 years he’s been out there is beyond me. I cried every one of those 8 days because I couldn’t take it and these people seem so happy. Ugh!!! And this could happen to anyone. Especially, these days
There are many things you can do, such as giving food, clothes or volunteering. I have created a site called www.howtohelpthehomeless.net with some tips that you might find useful.
I am a 70 year old lady who lives with my son and his family .I am truly blessed .if it weren't for them I would be homeless..I have my own apartment in the basement..a nice one..I am so fortunate..and loved..
It's much worse here in the Pacific NorthWET... POORland is a sister city south of FREEattle...has become a complete isht-show with rioters burning down and destroyed EVERYTHING for everyone...recently we had most EPIC firestorms that burned thousands of homes and numerous deaths...funny how the protesters were no where in downtown...but I have recorded video proof of fires being set all around us. WHO set these fires? And WHY? Interesting how the group whose name starts with an A...letters N and T..THEN an I ending with FA...promised to return to destroy our little town Estacada because we refused to allow them destroy our 20 ft tall wooden Timberman they said is racist as it's white man...but it's a statue representing the timber industry which were ALL white men working in pouring rain out in the forest...but when their numerous big busses began arriving filled WITH AID, well fed and provided for young angry people gathered to fulfil their promises to destroy estacada to the ground...they were unprepared for the numerous shirtless, toothless uneducated backwards "Hillbillies" ( is how the buss riding big A---tiFAs description of those living in our beautiful area) they were unprepared to be met with several of us, armed with long guns, AK47s and enough firearms to take them ALL down...and the group of REAL MEN ready to protect OUR statue, so they changed their plans...but hours later our firestorms began....but we're strong and refuse to give in to these idiots.
BTW... These riots have NOT stopped and last weekend Portland was declared full on riot zone....we're SICK of these monsters...would rather have homeless people leaving piles of trash behind rather than our entire downtown buildings burned & totally destroyed..a lot of blacks have lost their lifelong HARD work by these, ha..BLM movement...throwing bricks, moltove cocktails into Windows is NOT peaceful demonstration...but liberal leaders refuse to stop them...why? Freedom of speech....uh...what the heck? Months of THIS has worn residents down...were thinking of MOVING far from here
I have always gone out of my way to help struggling family members and coworkers. Now that I am homeless and in a destitute situation with unemployment and having a difficult time finding an in office call center jobs who have all gone remote due to the pandemic. I am presently staying at a shelter that costs money. I will be staying here until my funds run out. If they run out before I am able to land a job then I will end up on the streets.
I love his spirit, he's full of joy but poverty is on the rise in America, with the heartless people who is raising rent every 2 days and mortgages are so high. We're one pay cheque from poverty.
My landlord is a greedy dog..he raised the rents..we lost some tenants here..he had the gall to say that due to Covid..he could raise the rent cause the virus is making prices go higher..what a slap in the face!!

Mark,don't pay attention to haters my brother keep doing what God has for you to do and you will be blessed!
Can I have Carmen's contact details.. I'm in Idaho but can send needed resources for these beautiful humans. Thank you.
God bless you Mark! You are fighting the good fight. I have a brother named Mark who has been homeless and in and out of jails since his 20s and he's now in his 50s. He's a survivor and keeps positive. If we could get more politicians who are caring and could fight and push for affordable housing that would surely help. Keep positive buddy and take care of yourself get good rest and eat well. There is a song about homeless people called "pray for me" by Rob Crosby. On youtube if you listen to it it will touch your heart and soul. Thanks again Mark...
God bless you and your mission...
@Miki Mouse because Canada doesn't need anymore jobless junkies.
Ally and Tj ..here the newly engaged couple from the video..We have been in an apartment now since March 2018. And we got married June 2018 and now we are expecting and our baby boy Wesley Allen Burlingame and he will be born in June 2020!!!! We are so greatful for our friends here in the video . We are all very good friends now . Praise the Lord for his goodness !!!
That's so amazing guys! Congratulations!!!! It must have been so hard to be out there especially in the cold! I was an addict and me and my husband slept in our truck for almost 4 months in winter in indiana. It was so hard! We fought all the time we almost lost our relationship 😪 now we have been sober 2 years and I'm a nail tech! I'm so happy for u guys
Hey,my name is Lou and watched the videos and was wondering how did you and tj make out are you guys still married are you still in an apartment? Hope all worked out..
So cool big respect!
Wishing you the best
Congratulations you guys I’m really happy for you both! !! I hope the best for your family in the future you guys are terrific human beings!
I am disabled and a senior who live with my son and his family. I am richly blessed. All I can do is offer up prayers.
YES . . . you are exceedingly blessed ! 😁 🇺🇸
You are very blessed.
Thank you 🙏 god bless your heart and soul
I too am elderly and disabled. My daughter takes care of me. I am very grateful for her. I too am blessed 😇
I love these people. They're my friends. One of my favorite experiences with Sinbad was when he invited us over for a hot dog potluck supplying the food himself. These people live in extreme poverty and yet are still hospitable & share abundantly. Thanks for what you do Mark, it was phenomenal having you visit.

While your sentiment of not wanting to contribute to animal death is noble, your judging of others and ridiculing gifts bestowed the needy is very.... well... not very classy. Be like the prophet Daniel or Nanak but Jesus said not to Judge your brothers who partake, likewise, those who partake should not judge those who do not. The logic this scripture applies to "using the erb", it applies here, as there is no LAW AGAINST eating meat, its a person's option to step up to a more pious lifestyle, but they must do so without attempting to judge and shame others not in like mind.

Jason Sage there are always going to be "those" remarks coming from someone who isn't looking at the situation from all sides. I do love your manner in commenting back. I hope you will be doing what you can to help these people as well. God bless!
Just became a monthly donor to this AWSOME MOVEMENT I feel privileged to be part of helping these wonderful beautiful people GOD BLESS!!
Thank you for helping humans in need!! People like you are a reminder that selfless people still exist!! Bless you
So sad..... any haters watching this thinking oh those guys are bums, just remember life can throw a major curve ball at you anytime. We never know what can happen.
Shut up stupid 🤬
Bums
Michael Kemp hope u fall on your ass and realize how harsh of a reality it is u never know their story
Nobody that has walked in the shoes of an addict will ever understand...I'm speaking of what led them to addiction! It wasn't mere temptation. Noooo. Don't throw crap at us. Folks we have adored as long we have, paid taxes to, etc., can be judge, jury and yes I have had to see them. Every day. But don't think all these people out here just got by with bon bons and television. So much pain and hardship that you would never wish on your loved ones. ✌
Bums!
What the good Lord say: love your neighbor, help those in need
Sinbad looks fun to hang out with. It's awesome how folks in this situation manage to smile. They could teach us all something. I hope they find housing soon.
Believe me, Sinbad is a blast to have as a friend!
Sinbad's got people skills and should be working and paying taxes like the rest of us. No reason that guy should be homeless.
Sinbad is a doper and drunk
I lived in a tent camper for a few months homeless. I love what you guys are doing. I totally respect you guys. Fixing the homeless problem is like taking a bale of hay and taking it back to its original state. Super hard project with little chance of success. There is an answer out there. I just worked and worked. I did get out of my situation. I pray all the people in your video do too.
Sad to realize that all the people you made videos with have more respect, happiness, peace and love to spread and share then other people in general. Love your channel and what you're doing. You're a great man.
Caro Bertrand it’s true the best people are often the homeless
So true, we don’t need anything to be happy. We all live in an illusion that we do. I grew up poor and remember being happier then. It’s just about being around likeminded people free of materialistic ideation.
Such great character in these people. At least they're able to make the most of it.
I am from the UK. I have just discovered this channel. it breaks my heart to see people struggling. I was homeless myself for 19 months. I lived in a forest in a tent, a beaten up caravan in the scottish highlands, and in my car. i also did a live in job. I struggled, but i did it. i know i would have coped much better in a community like this one. I felt so unsafe and alone, even though i was with my partner and 2 dogs. I am now housed, but the adventurer in me misses the open space. i am also struggling to keep this small flat ( apartment). i think once you have a taste of getting out of the system, it is hard to get back in to it. I wish all the best for these people. They clearly care for each other. they are right, no one should be living like this, unless it is their choice to do so. The UK is terrible and the rise of homelessness is becoming higher by the year.
We have an online support group for homeless people and formerly homeless people on FB you can find at WeAreVisible.com
The Indigo Traveller I noticed in Oxford this winter how many more homeless people there are on the streets, My opinion There is a direct correlation between rising cost of rent & stagnation of wage's. It's not as cold hear but the damp makes it misrable to be without a heated room.
@@jamesandrew62 It's really heartbreaking to hear about the homeless specially in the U.K. where they have some of most expensive costs in the world even for normal housing!
@@InvisiblePeople can someone tell me how to get a hotel voucher I am in a shelter but I don't like it it's overcrowded and people are sick
@@InvisiblePeople I don't like cold weather anymore the first chance I get I want to go to Hawaii or Southern California.
So sad. Don’t know how these people can be so upbeat. Bless them. Mark, Carmen and their volunteers are sent from God.
I'm from upstate. One year my landlord refused to renew lease as she planned for a remodel. It caused my 2 youngest and myself to be homeless and in a tent for about 6 months. It changes you forever
YES IT DOES
Why did you not just move to a different flat or house ?
Mr Watto UMM, most of the time you need thousands to get a new apartment. First last and security deposit. That will run about 3000 to start.
Hush my dear there is light at the end of the tunnel. My own sister did not keep my furniture when I had no where to live I lost everything
@@DMWBN3 some times the money is just not there
Hugs to every soul lost along the way, no human being should have to worry about what tomorrow brings.
Thank you for caring and sharing the love...stay safe all
This Canadian Woman keeps you in my prayers xo
Ive notice that most Homeless people have always have a positive attitude(with what little they have)...Wish everyone can see this video and learn from them and most of all HELP THEM..
Christine Newhouse because they know what true happiness is without materialistic things and money
That is because Self Reliance creates a secure feeling inside. Most people have fear of losing everything or ending up homeless etc. But these people do not have that fear anymore. They know they can survive and that relieves the anxiety...They Are Truly self reliant and FREE !
Its heartbreaking to think that humans are still left to struggle to survive like this when the world is so prosperous. This is proof of the blinding ignorance of those that are wealthy enough to put it all to an end. These people are amazing, their stories are touching hearts even in Australia xx
Horrific. People should not have to be living outside in the cold, it must be unbearable sometimes.
Maybe donate to a homeless charity next time.
powderandpaint14: Exactly 👍. I would rather see the least of our brothers with shelter before flushing it down the toilet.
Allen Lymilt: I didn't (wouldn't) throw away $430 on a sports bet. j/s
you are crazy he wasn't selfish your mind is twisted. You are the one who lost the money!And he was the one who build a home for the homeless. Stop your devil talking
you must be so proud.............. don't let it come around and bite your ignorance
I love their sense of community and the friendships they seem to have.
It breaks my heart to see these beautiful people living like this. These people have value they are our brother sisters, this should not be happening 😥😥😥
that's right and also why I've made rooms in my home for those who have gone through things to lose their hime, living space. n arizona
😢
Beautiful people! Wish you all the luck! Love your little community, very special and increasingly rare in a society where people are scared of the unknown and where isolation is on the increase. Hope you get in soon. ❤️
Think, there's more high spirits and good cheer in this community than some of your up market apartments surrounding Central Park New York...Goes to show there's somethings that can't be bought. Thank God!
gerry morgan The folks in those apartments go in and close their doors. They rarely interact with their neighbors more than just in passing and they are dependent on no one. When you know your neighbors it’s because you see them more than just in passing. Realizing that we need each other is the fundamental difference between the folks in the apartments and the ones in the tents. Maybe it is economics, not having everything you need, but that’s not all of it. When you’re poor you have to ask for help, but you choose who you ask. The folks that are in the same situation are easier to ask for help from, because they know how it feels and it just makes it easier. If they can’t help they will bend over backwards to find someone who can and chance are it’s going to be someone that’s in the homeless community. It becomes a network. So sometimes you depend on them and they depend on you, you become friends and a community. I think total self reliance, which seems to be part of the great American dream, can make a human a lonely creature. I’ve seen whole families go into their house close the doors and every one of them go into separate rooms and close those doors. And they are seen as having attained the great American dream. It’s just so lonely.
Sorry I didn’t realize how long this comment was getting. Bye!
I thought the same exact thing. !
God bless you Mark for educating us about homelessness
Interaction is more important than socks, food, warmth, shelter, or any other item you can give... a hug means more than money!
Grabacadaver but money helps
A hug dont keep u warm & feed u.they need much more & then a hug.
Food is more important than hugs. A hug will warm your heart but food is essential for health. Without your health you have nothing.
@@roxannswehla259 but a hug from someone who is genuinely caring WILL help make a difference that may HELP turn them around
When the Corona virus is over here in UK I am going to help the homeless when I can, you are a awesome person with a good heart mark, your inspirational beyond words❤️
Hello Mark, I just wanted to thank you for everything you do to help get the word out about the homeless. I was homeless 33 years ago for two years and I understand the battle and the battles not bad enough with the elements and the fact that people treat you like a pariah. Little do those people know it could be them tomorrow. Keep up the good work Mark and I'll be sitting here praying that you get to help someone everyday and hopefully my disability will get better so I can do the same. I was only 20 to 21 years old when I was homeless and now due to being disabled I am one foot out the door to being homeless again and I thank God everyday for my family oh, if it were not for my mother and father I probably wouldn't be here. I'll be praying for you and all those that help and most importantly all those that are still living on the street to survive. Thanks for all you do and God bless! :-)
Thank you for sharing your story Carl, your honesty is inspiring.
These guys are wonderful. People like them are true hero's in this world.
This was difficult to watch...as it should be. Keep up the good work Mark, Chris and Carmen.
You're such a great man. Your efforts are deeply appreciated.
Yes!
What a great bunch of people ALL of you are....Sinbad really grabbed my heart. GOD BLESS all of you.
I wish I had the funds start an off grid homeless tiny house village.
Me too ❤
Heartbreaking to see how a first-world country can ignore the plight of it's people. God bless you and your families for doing what you do...love..all the way from Suzi in Aus
They aren't ignored, they've done the ignoring to the programs and their rules and most likely the wishes of their family and friends.
Suzi Jorgensen what's your answer? To pay them attention? Or would you prefer the government steal, sorry I mean tax, my money to give them what I've earned?
The US Nationalist Report ah no, what’s wrong is this myth that homeless people were just working folks who fell on hard times . That would be such a small percentage.
@@fringestream990 YOUR JUDGEMENT IS WRONG
Summer Dawn nope, it’s not a judgement it’s an observation from many levels including homeless family member to working with them personally.

You are a terrible person Eugene Stoner. Have some empathy.
@@melanieackerman7830 they seem very able bodied. And mentally fit. They clearly possess a degree of intellect and intelligence. They could work.
Calling him a terrible human is a bit of a stretch. Callous maybe.
If I was homeless and it was that ❄️❄️❄️ I would go find a job to stay warm and earn some 💲
@Eugene Stoner it is not easy not all the persons are like you !! Nobody give an oportunity and many of those persons got tired of looking for a little bit of simpathy and get a job , i can not remember how many doors i did knock for me to work always the same response we will call you , they never do they say that for you to stop bothering them .
I like your channel. It hits home for me. I was homeless in Houston,Tx. from 1999-2011. I survived it and now get my ssid and am stable as a rock with a youtube video channel called Houston bluescene, which has 560 vids of blues bands performing in houston. I started the vids in 2000. Thanks for the channel, which I just discovered and subscribed to. Later, and keep up the good work
p.s. I was documentig things while I was homeless by writing and there are several notebooks covering about 8 years, which I could someday, maybe turn into a book.
Houston bluescene I would like to read your book. Keep up the good work and I'm glad you are doing well.
Write the book!!! I would buy it!
thank you, Daphne, next thi ng is to see about writing this book.
thank you, enlightenedbygrace4U
Maybe I will when I figure out how to go about getting a book written, published, marketed and sold. It will definitely be called THE REST OF MY LIFE because that is what I entitled my journal when I first started writing. Thank you enlightened
Prayers and Love to all.
Again, Bringing light to a dim situation. Thank You, Mark, for attempting to open hearts and minds!
So glad to see you out there again my friend
Wool socks, bring them wool not cotton. Wool is an excellent insulator and maintains its insulation when wet. If some of these people have jobs they might consider buying a van. I've been forced to move into one with my disabled son. We live in the Boston area where rents are some of the highest in the country and all we have for income is my social security retirement and my son's disability check. I have created a RUclips channel to chronicle our transition from lifelong apartment dwellers to permanent van dwellers and share my tips for building habitable shelter in a van on a low budget, it's called VANgazmic Voyage. I applaud you for your work with the homeless, you are truly doing the Lord's work and God bless us all!
A van has to be dryer than a tent, would have to to be insulated though, & mould might be a problem to keep at bay.
jamesandrew62 Yes. Ventilation is as critical as insulation. I have a roof vent fan that runs off a 12 volt deep cycle marine battery that charges when the engine runs.
Instead of living in a van why not get out of Boston? I'll give one example of a fairly big city with rents about a third of Boston: Tucson, AZ. You can get a 2br apartment in a safe area for $500 all day long there. Added benefit: no snow ever. A little closer to home: South NJ. The little towns between Philly & Atlantic City are fairly safe & way cheaper than anything near Boston. Tucson is the better bet just for the weather; I intend to retire there someday.
EntropyFan This is our home, we are deeply rooted here. My mother was born and raised in East Boston, I have dozens of family members scattered throughout the area. My children were born and raised in Salem and now my grandchildren are growing up here. My son is brain damaged from epileptic seizures five years ago and all his specialists are at Massachusetts General hospital, one of the finest in the world. And Boston's north shore and Cape Ann is a beautiful place to live, if you can afford it. Living rent free in the van has made it affordable. It's not as uncomfortable as you might think van dwelling in winter. I'm chronicling our voyage on my own RUclips channel called, "Vangazmic Voyage," please visit and you'll see what I mean. Best of luck in your retirement.
Donald Whitehead - I plan to live in a van for my retirement if not before. It's different when it's by choice. I will be on BLM land in AZ. I'm sure you've heard all about it. I will definitely check out your channel! So glad you and your son are comfortable and thriving in your van!
You're doing a great job!! God bless you 🙏 🙌
Dear owner of this channel,
First i would like to say thank you for sharing and posting these amazing, beautiful, high quality videos. You take your precious time to make these beautiful videos. Secondly you are so inspirational for helping those in need and shedding light on the issue of homelessness and poverty in this country. I believe you are doing the Lords work!
Gods heart is close to the poor. "The righteous considereth the cause of the poor, but the wicked regardeth not to know it". Proverbs 29 vs 7 KJV
God bless your ministry sir!
God Bless them and you for helping them.
Carmen you are a great guy for helping out the homeless like you are doing, if I ever came into some money I would help the homeless out myself
Heartbreaking. So wonderful these people in the community have stepped forward, but like he said people with money can also do so much more.
Thank you mark ,for giving a unbiased voice to the homeless, i live in area with alot of homeless population and i feel that the people that live here have lost there humanity and just assume horrible things about the homeless population... not everyone that is homeless is a drug addict and vice versa there stories all are different and what people dont realize anyone can become homeless , these are human beings they need help and love ❤️ if everyone on here just donated 5 dollars it could help with marks cause
Thank u mark again for what u are doing , and everyone that helps this great cause
This is not ok to be happening we have to all come together as americans and help our neighborhoods donate clothes , money , food to your local non profits that help the homeless ❤️sorry for the long post
Your attitude is uplifting and thank you for sharing your experience. I agree that it is important not to assume things about people, as they can often be based on false stereotypes. I enjoyed reading your contribution, Natalia!
not everyone that is homeless is a drug addict but it helps
@Poke Poke Stfu..go take ur meds..Pokey..
May the LORD BLESS all these people and keep them safe 🙏
Mark You are a Wonderful Person and I Love the fact You are helping them and Carmen is a Amazing Man and he just gets to my Heart :) Wow Amazing Two Men but they do need our Help.
Your a good soul and make the difficult available to our hearts.
What a blessing.
Eddie "Sinbad!"...Love him!
Butter Pecan Amen !!
Well, I got twenty acres in Very Northern California if anyone wants to permanently help with a wildlife project. But we've got no money. Just trees. And water.
edy kubiak I will definitely take you up on that offer, please contact me at leedanny@gmail.com !!!!
What kind of project?
How cold does it get?? I might come out im not homeless but in Flint michigan
Tarzan so there still people that needs help not all addict steal lie or anything bad they just have a problem people like you is what makes it hard for people to get help for change I’m a recovery addict I been off herion for almost 2 years there still hope for these people
Is this still available????
God bless the homeless and give them the strength to move on. In heaven we will have mansions🙏
I didn't realise America is like this, it's just the same as Britain !
World wide crisis it's not the US and the UK alone
America isn't like this,the people are like this and choices they make to get them here..drugs alcohol not wanting to work and have more in life...most time for these people it's a choice!! There is job,s resources if you want to take that step to help yourself..if not this is what you end up with...you must help yourself first!!! No one owes us a thing!!
b57ecv I hope that you are doing well.I hope that you don't fall into that category
Dye Looney Congress raising minimum wage would help
Dianne Looney Congress hasn't raised the wage in over 10 years slick! Spain just upped the wage to over 11 an hr, most of Europe is more than America, at what 8 bucks an hr? And save the rederick about planning ahead, when you lose your long time job due to bankruptcy at 50 you have to start over, or have a learning problem, couldn't afford college after high school, lived with a silver spoon in your mouth for decades and didn't work then ran out of money and had to go out and work at 50, 10 bucks an hr don't get it! It costs a dollar a piece for a apple today, cost of living has leapfrogged in the last 10 year's but wage hasn't, and so many are fucked in the states today for it. Thanks congress
I love and respect the both of you!!! Carmen, your speech was great and truthful!!! God bless you both!!!
keep it up Mark, I am a So.Cal local myself born in Downey, I am a recovering addict you give me hope with your 22 years clean, I don't even have 22 days yet, but I've recently had a change of heart I've got 6 months to get my act together, in 10 days I'll be off to Seattle WA, please pray for me to be able to make it, I have to get out of Oroville CA I keep Falling here because I know everyone who has dope so I think it will be easier to stay clean if I don't know everyone who is dealing, So I'm off to Seattle to work.

U can do it. If you really want it you can do it, you can do anything you want if you really want it, I bin clean 10 years and please believe life is so much better, hugs x

Invisible People thank you , if you don't mind I'll give a holler when I get to Seattle, I'll be handing out socks when I can and food too. Thanks again, kind regards. Eric Underwood
Eric Underwood with the effort you're putting forth in attempting to stay clean, I am all for you moving away from the area you were from Milyer with. You can make a brand new start when you move, and I hope that you will remain clean! I pray that you will look for the support of uplifting folks when you move up to Washington state. God bless you in your endeavors, and I will remember you in my prayers tonight! I'm praying for you right now!
Carolyn Nunes thank you so very much God is great and will bless me as long as I LET HIM, thanks for your support, check in with me next week if not to much trouble, kind regards. Eric Underwood
Thank you Mark and others for helping others
Thanks for doing this series to keep bringing attention to the problem of homelessness. There have been no real solutions because somehow we believe it will just go away on its own if we ignore it enough, the American way as it is with so many things.
what you are doing is just so important and you do it with so much respect and soul... bravo sir, the world needs more people like you, i really hope your spirit will go viral
You have inspired me to do something in my town. God Bless you and thank you!
How do i get started?
What have you done in your town Cheryl? You are making us curious!
I was homeless for three years, but really only on the streets for 6 months. I'll never forget my first desert winter. I got so close to God that winter.
I've started getting out after watching your videos. I'm a new subscriber. I hope it's ok I'm kinda copying your delivery by filming the local bridge people I drive by everyday now taking my son to his job.
I can't keep throwing a couple of bucks with a hug to them.
It's gonna take a lot more so I thought I'd get started.
Thanks for all you do.
Your work through this channel has really changed my life, and I'm so grateful. I feel like you're my friend ! ♥️
God bless you mark, chris, and carmen. You inspire me. Im not doing great right now myself as im unemployed but as soon as i can i will help your great cause. This shouldnt be happening in the usa.
Amen. All well said. We are with you--our family is working to help our neighbors here in Columbus Oh (or wherever we encounger them:). God bless your work!
If there was a way for the fat cats to profit from helping the homeless it would end tomorrow. Sad but true.
A large portion of Americans are a few paychecks away from being homeless. They might not admit it but it's a fact.
Seeing this now, I agree 100%, more now than ever since de pandemic. And people are going crazy trying to buy paper towels and toilet paper, what is wrong with us?
I'm so happy what you are doing God loves you and blessed you... Thank you for the love.
I was homeless in 1980-1990. Now I volunteer at the Hunger coalition To help people that need it, there are places now.
Yes, love your neighbors as yourselves. We all can help the homeless in our communities.
Affordable homes with no toilet, no heating and no door to lock. 2019 this is disgusting in such a rich country
Our ancestors my people native americans live like this and survive. but now days a person needs a job and car and have J e s u s. To live sucessful.
What a neat group of people. That one guy was right. We need grass roots community effort to help the homeless.
Mark, what you’re doing is so great. I’ve really enjoyed meeting the people in your videos.
Most of the powerful don't care.
There to busy enjoying themselves to care about other humans suffering with absolutely nothing
The haves and the have nots but some people go out of their way to help who are not wealthy themselves including church families
Thinking and praying for all those in the cold, and those lost this latest round of artic blast. We MUST do better by our brothers and sisters😢😢😢
It is NOT always about lack of self-discipline that these fellow brothers and sisters wind up in places like this.
As i commented to someone on a youtube video a few days ago:
"Check yourself before you wreck yourself."
LOVE THAT...gonna use THAT as well as DO JUST THAT
Dude, you are a fine human being and I am very glad to come across this video at a time when I needed my faith in humanity restored. I see in your face that you really care and I love you for that.
***Bless you all***
Gabriel Brothers had turtle necks. I recently bought a few women's. I love them in the winter. My husband and I are OTR Trucker's. We sleep on a twin bed every night and live out of our semi as we save money to get another home. We have 4 grown children. My husband was a Coal Miner for years and they went under do to the EPA. He then went into GAS & Oil, same thing, they stacked all the rig's and again out of work. We live in a area that you either make 100k plus or your on welfare. We lost everything the 2nd time around. Even our 401k is gone. So we are trucking and hoping to clear 70k and get a home again. What's nice about these trucking companies is if you have a clean license, no recent DUI's they will train you and give you money while doing so. Feed and house you as well. It's great opportunity for homeless. If anyone looks into this check out Prime and Rohel Transport. They are two company's that treat you as a person and not a number. My husband got his CDL after high school as a back up in the future. When in-between career jobs he would truck. We've researched so much and failed with several company's. At the moment we are purchasing a semi through Rohel with no money down. We are never negative or in the hole and that's what matters. They offer health insurance after 2 to 3 months, retirement and so on. Perfect for those who are homeless but can drive and take no "scheduled" drugs. They will put you on a bus and get you started within 2 weeks. Driving isn't hard as long as you don't take narcotics, insulin by injection, or ADHD, mood stabilizer drugs.
Best wishes everyone!
Again it's a pleasure to be on your channel and you are an amazing man and God bless you for helping all the less fortunate and you're awesome dude for real and don't let anyone tell you different keep up the good work and keep doing God's work God bless you brother and my hat's off to for real.😎💯
If you wanted to send some of them down to Pottsville PA I have a vacant home they could use to protect them from the cold. No electric or water though. Possibility to get the electric turned on. If you group together in one of the large rooms and block off everything you can heat pretty well with a small kerosene heater. I did it for 10 years was a bit ruff but managed ok.
Thank you Mark and team! May God bless you all.
Homelessness in the "SUPPOSED-RICHEST-COUNTRY-in the 🌎...Yeah RIGHT! Damn shame!!! Despite their situations, they are all still in great spirits!
well 20 trillion in debt with members of congress old as the hills they love their Muslims but not us
Its because of the greed, as you rob people, the hardships are tricking down to the poorest.
Butter Pecan why don't you read the latest comment from someone who lived there put up a week ago. Most of them are drug addicts......
Wafflezombies1964 you.have 2 be ah muslim 2 get help what you have said is so true and so sad 4 the homeless people god bless them
Ithaca was and always will be a hippy liberal town. Aside from the conventional homes, they're pretty much set.
I find it amazing that you were once homeless. You are very strong!
they can always find money for war
650 billion now... Republicans and Democrats have don't nothing for equality.. I feel pity and exasperation for USA citizens.. I hope for change
If you’re talking about enlisting in the military there is an age limit you dumbass
No pity here life is good in the US if you just get a job and work hard and dont become the liberal victim drug addict.
@@superwilcox9026 try telling that to all the hard working folk who have become homeless through no fault if their own
Not war, but for countries who hate us, that's for sure. What about Obama giving millions of dollars to Iran? I am not hating on President Obama because crap like that has been happening WAY before Trump, Obama or Trump. At least with the wars, they are fighting for something. With just GIVING our tax dollars to countries that hate us is reprehensible. Help our own disabled, addicted, elderly, Vets with that money.
doing good work helping these homeless and exposing the problem in the area
I would like to say there is one simple answer, but sadly there is not...Get wood for shelter, learn how to make a mass rocket heater/stove, and wait to get kicked out...Keep a shopping cart around( to transport your rocket stove)..Build up another shack, until they move you on...learn to trap, grow a garden, fish, the world is your oasis...I understand the human need for their little own peace and quiet...
They all amazing! That guy with red beard is particularly kind. God bless them all.
My prayers to all of you. I'm all to familiar with homelessness. It can be a frieghtening thing to go through. God Bless you all.
Prayers wount do shit. Donations or help will. There is no God.

Carmen is amazing. Awesomeness!!! For they community that helps the homeless there. What they need is to build affordable homes. 🏠🏡🏠🏡
I have been homeless for 5 years. My health is bad but i can not get disability. I have to scrape by where i can. I am human and i would love to have a normal life again
When I was homeless some of the meanest people were the churchy people and then there was the Godly people who treated me like a regular normal person like you fellas God bless you
Church people can really suck..I agree..pompous hypocrites..
You are doing Gods work !
Carmen thank you for helping build homes. 😇❤️
It's a wonder to me that the authorities or property owner hasn't made these poor people leave. Wish I could help.
Margaret Witt sounds to me like you're wishing it would happen dumbass
That could happen. Who owns the property? No sense building shelters if they can be "evicted" at any moment. How did the camp come to be in this particular spot?
I worked with Carmen before! Second wind cottages truly does help people. I’ve also been on outreach with Chris separately too. 2 amazing people
If I had money, I would buy land, build a bunch of homes with air/heat/water/toilets and fill them with people and animals. No one (cats, dogs, non-native animals included) should have to suffer these temperatures outside. It's torture. The temperatures have been below zero, and I heard a couple of days ago about a guy freezing to death while walking home from somewhere. It's scary to think about just how easily one of these people or dogs could die in that tent city. If each person with a spare bedroom or even anyone that could offer access to an enclosure or garage with electricity could help one homeless person, these people could be helped RIGHT NOW. I hope the people in this town or nearby consider it.
No Name Bless you.
That’s real sad! The first month we bought our home... we lived 8 days freezing in our own home we just purchased. So to have these people in the cold everyday in the winter is real sad and it shouldn’t be. And ca
Carmen said 15 years he’s been out there is beyond me. I cried every one of those 8 days because I couldn’t take it and these people seem so happy. Ugh!!! And this could happen to anyone. Especially, these days
Just SHOCKING! Thank you for reporting on the underreported humans!!!
This man has a huge heart.
what can I do to help???I have a ❤for the homeless
There are many things you can do, such as giving food, clothes or volunteering. I have created a site called www.howtohelpthehomeless.net with some tips that you might find useful.
I am a 70 year old lady who lives with my son and his family .I am truly blessed .if it weren't for them I would be homeless..I have my own apartment in the basement..a nice one..I am so fortunate..and loved..
God bless you..🇨🇦💞
At least they're able to stay & aren't made to move every few days like in L.A.
It's much worse here in the Pacific NorthWET... POORland is a sister city south of FREEattle...has become a complete isht-show with rioters burning down and destroyed EVERYTHING for everyone...recently we had most EPIC firestorms that burned thousands of homes and numerous deaths...funny how the protesters were no where in downtown...but I have recorded video proof of fires being set all around us. WHO set these fires? And WHY? Interesting how the group whose name starts with an A...letters N and T..THEN an I ending with FA...promised to return to destroy our little town Estacada because we refused to allow them destroy our 20 ft tall wooden Timberman they said is racist as it's white man...but it's a statue representing the timber industry which were ALL white men working in pouring rain out in the forest...but when their numerous big busses began arriving filled WITH AID, well fed and provided for young angry people gathered to fulfil their promises to destroy estacada to the ground...they were unprepared for the numerous shirtless, toothless uneducated backwards "Hillbillies" ( is how the buss riding big A---tiFAs description of those living in our beautiful area) they were unprepared to be met with several of us, armed with long guns, AK47s and enough firearms to take them ALL down...and the group of REAL MEN ready to protect OUR statue, so they changed their plans...but hours later our firestorms began....but we're strong and refuse to give in to these idiots.
BTW... These riots have NOT stopped and last weekend Portland was declared full on riot zone....we're SICK of these monsters...would rather have homeless people leaving piles of trash behind rather than our entire downtown buildings burned & totally destroyed..a lot of blacks have lost their lifelong HARD work by these, ha..BLM movement...throwing bricks, moltove cocktails into Windows is NOT peaceful demonstration...but liberal leaders refuse to stop them...why? Freedom of speech....uh...what the heck? Months of THIS has worn residents down...were thinking of MOVING far from here
These homeless people look & talk very sophisticated! I hope they can get some help!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Philippines is not like that. Come to the Philippines and you can never be homeless.
I love you.
@@Just-C hehehehe
There are approximately 4.5 million homeless people, including children, in the Philippines, which has a population of 106 million people.
I also love you 😘
I have always gone out of my way to help struggling family members and coworkers. Now that I am homeless and in a destitute situation with unemployment and having a difficult time finding an in office call center jobs who have all gone remote due to the pandemic. I am presently staying at a shelter that costs money. I will be staying here until my funds run out. If they run out before I am able to land a job then I will end up on the streets.
I love his spirit, he's full of joy but poverty is on the rise in America, with the heartless people who is raising rent every 2 days and mortgages are so high. We're one pay cheque from poverty.
My landlord is a greedy dog..he raised the rents..we lost some tenants here..he had the gall to say that due to Covid..he could raise the rent cause the virus is making prices go higher..what a slap in the face!!
My prayers go out to all you beautiful people from London/ England xx
