@cjay011 , I know what it's like to be homeless. Because I once was. I know what it's like to be hungry, because I was. Scared, alone, and hungry, that was me for a period of time in my life. I wasn't living, I was barely surviving. Now I am doing better and I would never pass by anyone in need and not do something to help. I would sometimes even steal meals and bring it back for those who have nothing. Many of the people would just enjoy talking and not being alone, I would enjoy those times the best, to sit and eat with someone were also so great. Sometimes they would even notice if I didn't pass by for a few days, they worried about me and that's worth stealing the meals. I can't get out anymore and I miss seeing them. They treated me like I was family. They may not have a home but they had heart and feelings. They deserve respect and to be treated with dignity. They bleed the same as any of us. Alot are veterans and served our country but our country has forgotten about them. I am sorry for ranting so long but sometimes I can't help myself.
I can't always give but I do give my change. In the past I invited homeless people for thanksgiving dinner. When I talked with them it's so heartbreaking.
I'm a woman who lives in NYC. Homelessness didn't officially start till the 1980s. It was Ronald Reagan who cut off government support and kicked them out in the streets. I'll never forget that. Some of us still remember the time when America had little to no homeless people on the streets. At that time, only drunkards, drug addicts and prostitutes were found hustling on the streets of bad neighborhoods. As for the present, I believe the main reason people don't want to approach the homeless is because they're thought of as either mentally ill, drug addicts or alcoholics, especially if they're dirty. People are afraid that if they approach them, they'll get attacked or harrassed. Others do this as a side hustle (besides stealing) because they don't want to work. I was on the train and a man, who was obviously filthy with a horrible smell was following me around on the train. I had to quickly get off the train to avoid him. Other times, I've seen them acting crazy. However, these days, homelessness affects people for other reasons: family dysfunction, job loss, orphaned children who are now adults trying to take care of themselves, CORRUPT AND GREEDY POLITICIANS, ELITES WITH THEIR DEPOPULATION AGENDA (should have put this first). Glad you're waking people up to the plight of the poor. When I approach the poor, I'll do it with someone with me. Thanks for sharing this video.❤
I've been there.... I breaks you down every day and you feel absolutely worthless... it becomes almost impossible to drag yourself out of it. **EDIT I should have said this earlier but today i am 6 years clean and sober, still with my now wife of 8 years, have a great job climbing trees, a newer 2015 car, my own place, a reptile collection and have never been happier. And i owe it to family friends that hired me during my homeless addiction to be their private gardener, my wife for telling me get clean or loose her, and my family giving me a second chance... 6 years homeless, last 4 of those addicted to heroin and meth.. now im going on year 7 of getting a second chance... and its all because people gave me a chance to prove myself. Much love everybody!
I was homeless for over 10 yrs. I had a small Honda Civic to sleep. I appreciate your efforts to be compassionate & empathetic, but imagine what happens after years of endurance. Each day beats a person down lower & lower; it becomes more difficult to pick themselves up. I adore what you do.
There was another man like you long ago. He gave to the poor,helped the sick. He cared for the old,he laughed with the young.He was the greatest of All men. I will stand with you any where any time! I am called Tlite Love&light to you now an forever. I hold the light so others may see!
appreciate everything you do, it's an evil world we are living in. I've stared bringing coffer and doughnuts to random places, just to try and make someone's day better. remember you doing this to make a difference, and don't let anyone stop you. God bless brother
G'Day to you ,I am watching your Work with tears in My Eyes,50 or so years ago I to was Homeless,I know what those Poor Souls are Going Through,I am now 73 with a Beautiful Wife ,Daughter and Son,I own my own House and I Have enough Money to last me for the Rest of my Days, when ever I see a Homeless Person I buy them a Meal or Give them money,God Bless You Sir and Thank You🤗
Mercy, this broke my heart. I already have a hard time knowing I can't help everyone of them but to walk away from any of them as if they're a ghost or trash shows how ugly and ridiculous a lot of humans can be. God bless you for showing the raw facts from a homeless point of view. I am even more grateful for what I have and will continue giving and find ways to do it more❤❤❤😢😢
when you referred to yourself as a ghost as everyone just walked by ignoring it truly broke my heart to hear you say that and feel that way like so many are made too feel
This is real! I'm sorry people refused to help. God knows I would help you. sometimes I have been scared to approach large men as a small female... But I try to listen to God. ❤
This did seem kinda staged. Its easy to go 24 hrs without food. I do it all the time. Water is free. Go to a public restroom and drink from the faucet. Find a public drinking fountain. Watching this showed me how your life is normally. You did this experiment to get another perspective which is beautiful. Most people wouldn't take the time to literally put someone else's shoes on. I commend you for that you're a good human and a stand up man. But 24 hrs man thats piece of cake. Try a week. You do good work man I love your content and you help so many people and give back daily. We need more people like you and I see the point you're making with this video. Good work keep doing what you're doing.
As I commented before I was homeless and pregnant and lost the baby and one of those reasons is I didn't have enough food to sustain a growing baby. I did indeed feel invisible to the world but thanks to some women who started to bring meals to me on the streets and eventually put a roof over my head until I could get on my feet I found a new life. I now help out with the local homeless shelter when I can for those who are in the place I used to be. The regret I have is the guilt I now carry unable to look after the baby I had growing inside me. It's a horrible place I hope I never have to encounter again
I have crossed the street before because I was accosted by a homeless person before when I was pretty young. I told them I didn't have any money and that I was sorry. They were mad and got up and started screaming at me and calling me names. I was also homeless at the time couch surfing and sleeping outside. Its not easy but I would never treat someone that way just because they didn't have any money to give.
Listen sweetheart. I understand what your doing tho being homeless myself , after having three meals a day then nothing it takes time to NOT feel hungry anymore. One -two days aren’t enough. I’ve been homeless and hungry at a super young age . I’m not homeless with the risk of being so on a daily basis and I’m hungry EVERYDAY. I can handle being hungry but I’m always afraid of being homeless again!!!
@Doggo Tv Is the owner of these videos a Muslim? Our politicians are flooded with money from overseas so that American businesses such as our oil industry are shut down. Then those foreigners can sell us their oil at highly inflated prices. Now those foreigners give to homeless so Americans will accept their ee -veel ways.
I used to be homeless as a kid. I had to watch my family compromise what they knew was right cause there was young mouths crying for food or a coat. We were afraid of being split up. I get it. The videos are about bringing the awareness to the dilemma and inspiring even a small gesture. It took some miracles and the kindness of others, but we made it. Kindness brings Hope. ❤ I am sure we overworked some of our angels. But whenever we could we gave back sometimes bountifully. Pay it forward. ❤Love & Light ❤
Anyone who is or has been homeless can relate, but try it for a WEEK ,to truly FEEL the Spirit and Soul of self degradation. You will start to find other homeless people that will help to guide you to your first time Accommodation, food , then you will gravitate towards certain identities but most likely because you don't use drugs or alcohol , you will be alone.....
Youre not used to not eating. Many of us go more than 1 to 2 days. Water in public bathrooms from sinks, coffeeshops or mcds bathrooms. Most are disabled or have illnesses because rents quadrupled and theres no rent geared to income housing. Odsp was only raised $3 for rent. $500 yet rents are 1550 to 2500 and no landlord will rent to odsp anymore. No ontario housing anymore. Worse govt in history for us older people with illness, disabilities who once worked, owned homes, rented longterm suddenly lose everything during the pandemic. Too old for govt to pay for reschooling.
I was a homeless youth in Edmonton Alberta long ago and if it wasn't for people like this man I never would have gotten out of it the man who helped me gave me a warm meal and introduced me to his boss who gave me a job on the carnival and now decades later things are circling the drain threatening to make me homeless again this world needs more kind hearted people to help out those in need
If in need of food bad check the dumpsters of like Dunkin donuts McDonald's and so on. People wast a lot and the companies throw out food. When I worked at a gas station 3rd shift I would give the donuts to the homeless guys in area instead of throwing out. I got in trouble for it all the time but it was worth it.
@@Fr0gerZ bro this guy's "kindness" is fake man. And if you cant see that, then you need to experience being kind yourself and you'll see a big difference
@@Fr0gerZ not saying you're fake bro. I'm saying that Cjay guy is fake. Why? All of his videos is 90% about him. When you are genuinely "kind" and "giving", it's 90% about them and 10% about yourself. He in it for the money. Period. Nothing wrong with that, but give him the respect he deserves. The respect of "Congrats you're rich" instead of "I admire your kindess and generousity"
Beware & be careful brother, our government is ruthless... Especially to one's that are making a difference where it counts 💚 I'd love to do work for you, I'm in Tampa Fl 😇
This hits HARD, my friend. I've been there; with nothing...NO THING, and it's a hopeless, terrifying, profoundly demoralizing experience. Hell, in many ways, I'm still there. It's not easy to pick yourself up, all the way up, off the bottom. We become part of the scenery; so dehumanized that people walk right on by without considering, even for a split second, that our suffering might be relieved by something as petty to them as what they left in a trash can two blocks back. I have resources as well as an income now. For that I'm very thankful...and fortunate. For those who can and do lift themselves up, live without regret. Know that you've survived something dire and for that you're far tougher, more capable, and wise enough to know better than to take a single, tiny, solitary thing for granted...Because, guys, we are granted life and the rest is up to us. If you're still deep in it, please know that every beat of your precious heart is a new opportunity. Be well, love each other.
A cop can save a dog and he's a damn hero but that same cop will kick a homeless person in the head and call him a piece of s*** and try to come up with a reason to arrest them America can go to hell
You know, it drives me nuts! I wish I had the money to do this because I'm filled with nothing but compassion. I take what little money I do have and buy dog food and cat food for our local shelters. If those people could live one day as a homeless person , they would understand. Or at least I hope they would!
Thank you so much for showing us all how it is to live like a homeless person. I know feel every time I pass a homeless person I have to help them. You are the most inspirational person on RUclips and thank you so much for doing what you do.
Unfortunately most homeless in my area are addicts and will not go get help to get clean and turn their life around. Most would rather be high then in a home. They do have free food at homeless kitchens but that's about all the help they will give to the addicts. They can sign up for SNAP benefits and get food stamps but many will trade them for drugs instead of eating. It's sad. We do need more resources for helping the addicts.
I spent 3yrs homeless I couch surfed for 1 yr then it was the streets. After 2 weeks I deliberately got caught breaking the law to goto jail for a bed & 3 meals a day during winter. The next winter I done if again, thank you fax payers. Couldn't offer $1 here n there so in a way I stole as if costs $150 per day to house a prisoner. Haha to your taxes, it's cheaper to give some cash or to make a sandwich at home to give away. People are stupid though.
I was homeless for ten years and I can tell you that holding up that sign is usually a last resort Plus the most homeless people will not steal from the store
Some of the greatest lessons I learned was from being homeless. Also, the people that helped me the most were my fellow homeless. We stuck together, we shared what we had and if one of us was hungry, but couldn't get food the right way we stole. You ever been so hungry it made you sick? If not you don't know what true hunger is. I'd just like to say that it's not the governments fault, it's not the world's fault, it's all of our fault the people who live on this planet. It's my fault, it's your fault, it's everyone's fault. Do you get it? The government, isn't nothing more than people like you like me but with power, it's just that the wrong people have the power. But you and me put them there. So you can't say it's their fault without it being your fault as well. FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
This video made me cry. But, I agree with everything that you said. When I could work, I could not just walk by someone without giving something. Now that I can't work, my husband left me after 24yrs of marriage and I go sometimes 2 to 3 days without eating.
I'm so sorry that happened to you and I also will add, God sees him and his time of need will happen just to help his heart out. What he did was careless. I am praying for you and knowing God will turn things around if he hasn't already. I pray you are doing much better and that life is more blessed.❤🙏🏽🙏🏽❤
I used to wonder how homeless people had cigarettes but not food. Then after helping a homeless person for 3 years he helped me understand that they smoke to curb their appetite. And they can't think straight. They are mentally ill from being traumatized.
@@cjay011 their mind goes into psychosis to protect them from more trauma and pain. I've seen it first hand. It is so sad. Then I get him help and he self sabotage bc he doesn't want the trauma of having the rug pulled out from under him. It's the only control he has is self sabotage. It is a vicous cycle. I can see it very clearly.
I'm Homeless right Now, in Perry FL. _*People need to Experience this for "One day", Let alone Years They'll have a different Perspective on JUST HOW TOUGH IT IS ON YOU Physically, Mentally, Emotionaly!! People, this State of FLORIDA, THIS Country🇺🇸 Doesn't give a Dam about you!!*
You started late. This would be after shelters and soup kitchens close for the night. 3am to 7am is the hardest. The damp cold air, exhaustion, hunger and lack of sleep really wear on you. Find other homeless! They will give you safety in numbers and advice where to get what the next day. I say the most important things right now are sleep and clean water. I think you can see how useless the sign is. Carefully if you sleep on a vent the humidity can give you pneumonia. Your immune system is not going to be as strong. Ok morning time. Again follow the other homeless they will be headed towards soup kitchens. Don't advertise you are homeless believe in yourself, go to the library which has Internet access to hook you up with the local services and make sure to get to a shelter before supper time.
Notice you have not posted as of lately. Gets pretty hard on that side. And that is just 1 day. Imagine facing a life of feeling like that. I can say that. Me and my husband have been there off and on for 15 years of 21 years of marriage. It's hard to have hopes or dreams when you have absolutely nothing or no body. Alcohol is usually drank to warm the blood to try and stay alive for 1 more day. Not all drink alcohol though. But imagine doing that for a month. Then 6 months. Then a year. So many walk away, but we can not judge. In this day and age things are getting harder on everyone. We are on a fixed income and looking to being homeless again do to the sky rocket price hike in our area of rent. And the cost of food, electricity, water. Worse is when your income can't even cover the rent let alone anything else.
He doesn’t want to come home he’s heavy on the drugs, 😢 we all miss him, his room is still empty and ready for him to come back , but it’s never happened
Brother May Allah bless you with time and money and keep your heart pure like it is now for the poor so you can keep helping the poor. I truelly respect what you doing you are an inspiring person and a realtalker facts on top of facts. Respect brother from the bottom of my heart.
Wow ! You’re brave man and strong. It’s really sad how homeless people go through and I noticed that people pass by and look at you like nothing! That’s is something that the city needs to do something about the homeless people. Good job for sharing 🙏
I always wish I’m a millionaire and help people because me not having all the money like other people still helping homeless people so I support you thank you for helping people specially homeless ❤️❤️
Jeeeezus what a posser 🤦 He has no clue what being homeless and starving feels like, stay out there for a couple months then you can say you know what it's like.
Most all homeless have their spirits broken as children by extreme childhood abuse. The dehumanization continues into their adulthood. Problem is when you are completely on your own without family you have to work double and triple time to make a good life. You will be socially isolated by the people in the middle caste as they have the luxury of doing superficial things and going on vacations to Hawaii while you are saving and going no where so you have an emergency fund. Being a girl it’s a little worse because the female culture as a gross general is nasty and petty making fun of people that walk in the door where they are working and wasting so much money on fake faces, fake hair and fake nails. It is impossible to relate to these people causing work tensions, maybe even job loss because you don’t fit with their culture. Hanging out with the low caste is no better, if you don’t participate in their poor cultural habits then you are not one of them and not fitting and won’t be able to gain opportunity or even keep work for example restaurant work and smoke breaks where everyone bonds and talks about their weekend party drama. I have thumped my head on the glass ceiling my whole life coming from nothing as a kid. It never gets better no matter how hard you work.
I am a grandmom... and I am SOOOO angry that the ADULTS make it a point to bring those children AWAY from you. I always made sure that my grands would always put SOMETHING in the hand, bag, cup etc... There but for the GRACE of GOD thank you for bringing this to the forefront MERRY XMAS
Nah, not completely 100% homeless and broke. You know you can go back to your life anytime you want. Not haveing that and being on the street is way beyond the feelings you feel. I know you help them, but at the same time, you exploit them. Would you be doing this without a camera crew. All the dramatics for the views, you haven’t the idea of the true struggle.
His videos are different though. Like he doesn’t even have a description or advertises anything. I believe he makes his videos to open peoples eyes. For example he made a great point in this video talking about millions going into entertainment but not to help life
Man 24hrs ain’t nothing…. That’s just a quick fast. Go for a week… or at least 3 days. I fast for days on the regular… it’s mental and if you’re hydrated the human body can go for days even for weeks without food. Stop being dramatic my brother! We like you mission
What keeps them there? Like your saying no way. But they choose to stay in it? I was homeless in a van wanted to dye. But met a woman that was bad off and told her to get in the van. Changed my life thank God
Try going 50 hours without food and homeless people in those big cities have it made ! There are plenty of restaurants to dig in the trash . Try being broke and homeless in south Mississippi
I've lived off grid in Trapper Creek Alaska for 20 years now. I built my own tiny cabin here and I pounded my well by hand then too. 8 years ago I had cheap solar panels from Harbor Freight mailed to me. Now I can get internet access! And only 3 years ago I put my septic tank system down, digging it up by hand. Non of this has been easy. The Father led me out of one of the biggest cities in America to survive in the tundra, because my husband wanted to kill me because we were trying to be parents and had tests done to find out why I wasn't able to get pregnant. We found out during one of the tests that I had done on me that the reason that I was having trouble getting pregnant was because I had all my life a male nut where one of my ovaries was supposed to be. My husband promised me that he was going to kill me because of this. So I flew to Alaska and never looked back. I lived on the streets in Anchorage for 4 months. I am so grateful to one man who changed my life. I was begging for food on a Walmart parking lot and he gave me his car that he no longer needed. He had just bought a new car and told himself that he was give his old car to the next person who was asking for food. He told me that the only thing that he wanted was for me to pay it forward. I've been doing just that for 20 years now. I will spend the rest of my life paying that gift forward. I now have had a freebox here in Trapper Creek Alaska for 18 years. People donate things that other people need and I make sure who needs it gets it. It's not big enough to accept furniture or large items, but warm children's clothing and other needs you'll be able to recieve at my box. I am sitting here in my tiny cabin without a vehicle again. But I have Faith in our Father that he will again bless me so I can continue to pay it forward.
I get why you're doing this, my friend here in the UK did a camp out for the homeless, she raised £££. See stayed out for a few days. Thanks for the awareness 🙏
i appreciate the experiment. However, it is totally different when you are actually NOT homeless. i ciuld go 24 hours without food. We all KNEW this is how itnis fornthe homeless. i am a little insultes that he is acting that way. After ONE DAY THAT DOESNT HAPPEN! Shame on him
So you're just a homeless guy with his own dedicated cameraman, there was no one inside the door as you shoved your sign against and banged on for no reason other than theatrics, and the "stealing" because you "had to" come on dude. The whole thing is a wreck and clearly just for views while pretending to raise awareness.
I became homeless for helping homeless kids. And because they want on my lease I got kicked out of my home because I refused to put two teenage kids out on the street in the winter cold. I'm still in the middle of struggling to find a home for me and my kids, so it's rough and I appreciate what you do for people, that is what you call real love!!!
I watched a guy from my apartment window walking with no socks. He picked up a standing can of coca cola that was in the gutter, where the cars park, and drank it. My heart broke. I wanted to run down and give him something. Starving will make one do things one never thought they would do. Best find restaurant garbage cans. They throw out full meals customers don't eat or finish.
Thank you for allowing us to see through the eyes of the homeless. I can't imagine. What a wake up call. I've learned alot here. There is much, much more suffering to each person's story than we realize. 💔 God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️ U
This had me in tears. After my divorce and when I was ready to date again, I would go get as much food and water that I could and go Downtown and try to feed as many people. If my date acted weird or wouldn’t help, that was that. I literally am about to be evicted and have $60 to my name, but I would help someone in a heartbeat if they needed it. You are such a wonderful person 💙
I am so sorry for you 😔 How the people are like heartless monsters! Anyway, hats off to you to take this much risk. Love from Tamilnadu, India 🇮🇳🥰❤ May Almighty Jesus Bless you, your family & friends Abundantly with Happy, Long, Healthy Life.
This is why I'm glad I went through what I did, so that I wouldn't pass up those in need. Can't help everytime, but as much as I can.

absolutely
😢 the struggle is real! I ate out of the garbage as a kid. Looked forward to those dumpster donuts every Sunday
Does he not realize, some people are crossing the street to avoid you because they feel bad that they can’t help you??
I have crossed the street before because I was accosted by a homeless person before when I was pretty young. I told them I didn't have any money and that I was sorry. They were mad and got up and started screaming at me and calling me names. I was also homeless at the time couch surfing and sleeping outside. Its not easy but I would never treat someone that way just because they didn't have any money to give.
cmon you always can help with 1-5 dollars...
This is why people turn to drugs and alcohol. It numbs the hunger and pain.
Listen sweetheart. I understand what your doing tho being homeless myself , after having three meals a day then nothing it takes time to NOT feel hungry anymore. One -two days aren’t enough. I’ve been homeless and hungry at a super young age . I’m not homeless with the risk of being so on a daily basis and I’m hungry EVERYDAY. I can handle being hungry but I’m always afraid of being homeless again!!!
Homeless people don't hold a sign and have a person with a camera in front of them That may be part of the problem
The USA government just sent millions to Ukraine for the war yet it will not substantially help the homeless. It is a shame!
Try 100 Billion. Yes Billion with a "B"
i slept on street with a newborn for 5 yrs,now i have 3 beautiful kids a home and family,we felt alone and no trust in anything but god bless u
@Doggo Tv Is the owner of these videos a Muslim? Our politicians are flooded with money from overseas so that American businesses such as our oil industry are shut down. Then those foreigners can sell us their oil at highly inflated prices. Now those foreigners give to homeless so Americans will accept their ee -veel ways.
I used to be homeless as a kid. I had to watch my family compromise what they knew was right cause there was young mouths crying for food or a coat.
We were afraid of being split up. I get it. The videos are about bringing the awareness to the dilemma and inspiring even a small gesture.
It took some miracles and the kindness of others, but we made it. Kindness brings Hope. ❤ I am sure we overworked some of our angels. But whenever we could we gave back sometimes bountifully. Pay it forward.
❤Love & Light ❤
Anyone who is or has been homeless can relate, but try it for a WEEK ,to truly FEEL the Spirit and Soul of self degradation.
You will start to find other homeless people that will help to guide you to your first time Accommodation, food , then you will gravitate towards certain identities but most likely because you don't use drugs or alcohol , you will be alone.....
Imagine going days without food or sleep. It’s a lonely desperate feeling. I’ve been there and it’s a hard pill to swallow
I've spent half of my life homeless but sadly 15 years ago people actually still helped each other!!!!!!!
Youre not used to not eating. Many of us go more than 1 to 2 days. Water in public bathrooms from sinks, coffeeshops or mcds bathrooms. Most are disabled or have illnesses because rents quadrupled and theres no rent geared to income housing. Odsp was only raised $3 for rent. $500 yet rents are 1550 to 2500 and no landlord will rent to odsp anymore. No ontario housing anymore. Worse govt in history for us older people with illness, disabilities who once worked, owned homes, rented longterm suddenly lose everything during the pandemic. Too old for govt to pay for reschooling.
I was a homeless youth in Edmonton Alberta long ago and if it wasn't for people like this man I never would have gotten out of it the man who helped me gave me a warm meal and introduced me to his boss who gave me a job on the carnival and now decades later things are circling the drain threatening to make me homeless again this world needs more kind hearted people to help out those in need
If in need of food bad check the dumpsters of like Dunkin donuts McDonald's and so on. People wast a lot and the companies throw out food. When I worked at a gas station 3rd shift I would give the donuts to the homeless guys in area instead of throwing out. I got in trouble for it all the time but it was worth it.
Bro i Got so muts respekt for you and all you work 🙏🙏
To all there See this comment please share this video and make it blow up 🙏🙏
means more than you know, Thank you for your support
@@Fr0gerZ bro this guy's "kindness" is fake man. And if you cant see that, then you need to experience being kind yourself and you'll see a big difference
@@RonZSaavedra no im not. why do you say that ?
@@Fr0gerZ not saying you're fake bro. I'm saying that Cjay guy is fake.
Why?
All of his videos is 90% about him.
When you are genuinely "kind" and "giving", it's 90% about them and 10% about yourself.
He in it for the money. Period.
Nothing wrong with that, but give him the respect he deserves. The respect of "Congrats you're rich" instead of "I admire your kindess and generousity"
He is doing a social experiment … so pls understand …
That's why I help people in need.
Beware & be careful brother, our government is ruthless... Especially to one's that are making a difference where it counts 💚
I'd love to do work for you, I'm in Tampa Fl 😇
This hits HARD, my friend. I've been there; with nothing...NO THING, and it's a hopeless, terrifying, profoundly demoralizing experience. Hell, in many ways, I'm still there. It's not easy to pick yourself up, all the way up, off the bottom. We become part of the scenery; so dehumanized that people walk right on by without considering, even for a split second, that our suffering might be relieved by something as petty to them as what they left in a trash can two blocks back.
I have resources as well as an income now. For that I'm very thankful...and fortunate. For those who can and do lift themselves up, live without regret. Know that you've survived something dire and for that you're far tougher, more capable, and wise enough to know better than to take a single, tiny, solitary thing for granted...Because, guys, we are granted life and the rest is up to us.
If you're still deep in it, please know that every beat of your precious heart is a new opportunity. Be well, love each other.
A cop can save a dog and he's a damn hero but that same cop will kick a homeless person in the head and call him a piece of s*** and try to come up with a reason to arrest them America can go to hell
You know, it drives me nuts! I wish I had the money to do this because I'm filled with nothing but compassion. I take what little money I do have and buy dog food and cat food for our local shelters. If those people could live one day as a homeless person , they would understand. Or at least I hope they would!
It's lovely what you are doing for your local shelters !👍
We need more men like you in this world ❤️
i live on the edge of being homeless every day, but I work and i help my family and I will make it through
Check out JT AUTOMATED on RUclips to make extra income
Thank you so much for showing us all how it is to live like a homeless person. I know feel every time I pass a homeless person I have to help them. You are the most inspirational person on RUclips and thank you so much for doing what you do.
I always make a couple sandwiches when I go up town. I always give to homeless 🥰
THANK YOU KEEP FIGTHING BEAUTIFULL HUMAN BEING , GREATINGS IN LIGHT FROM MEXICO CITY.
Respect for you and your beautiful heart..
Peace
Unfortunately most homeless in my area are addicts and will not go get help to get clean and turn their life around. Most would rather be high then in a home. They do have free food at homeless kitchens but that's about all the help they will give to the addicts. They can sign up for SNAP benefits and get food stamps but many will trade them for drugs instead of eating. It's sad. We do need more resources for helping the addicts.
I spent 3yrs homeless I couch surfed for 1 yr then it was the streets. After 2 weeks I deliberately got caught breaking the law to goto jail for a bed & 3 meals a day during winter. The next winter I done if again, thank you fax payers. Couldn't offer $1 here n there so in a way I stole as if costs $150 per day to house a prisoner. Haha to your taxes, it's cheaper to give some cash or to make a sandwich at home to give away. People are stupid though.
This needs to go viral! Thank you for doing this. It's getting worse. Public showers and bathrooms should be everywhere.
I was homeless for ten years and I can tell you that holding up that sign is usually a last resort Plus the most homeless people will not steal from the store
Right facts. This video is horrible
Some of the greatest lessons I learned was from being homeless. Also, the people that helped me the most were my fellow homeless. We stuck together, we shared what we had and if one of us was hungry, but couldn't get food the right way we stole. You ever been so hungry it made you sick? If not you don't know what true hunger is. I'd just like to say that it's not the governments fault, it's not the world's fault, it's all of our fault the people who live on this planet. It's my fault, it's your fault, it's everyone's fault. Do you get it? The government, isn't nothing more than people like you like me but with power, it's just that the wrong people have the power. But you and me put them there. So you can't say it's their fault without it being your fault as well. FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
15 h without food: "I'm starving". I wasn't even this hungry after a 48h fast. Comon now bro😂
I wish I was able to help. Had 3 strokes & haven't worked for 1 year now. Very frustrating. They also found 3 more bloodclots. I'm lucky to be alive
Read Matthew 25:31~46 and obey it, our eternal destiny depends upon our obedience or disobedience to this scripture. God Bless You
🕊💗🙏🙂
These social experiments are really annoying, the worst part of being homeless is cos you know its everyday not just 1 night anyone can do that
I wanna meet you bro you're a legend we need to protect this man
What is wrong with humans? We need to look after each other!
This video made me cry. But, I agree with everything that you said. When I could work, I could not just walk by someone without giving something. Now that I can't work, my husband left me after 24yrs of marriage and I go sometimes 2 to 3 days without eating.
I'm so sorry that happened to you and I also will add, God sees him and his time of need will happen just to help his heart out. What he did was careless. I am praying for you and knowing God will turn things around if he hasn't already. I pray you are doing much better and that life is more blessed.❤🙏🏽🙏🏽❤
I can't believe how these people ignore the needy💔😢
I used to wonder how homeless people had cigarettes but not food. Then after helping a homeless person for 3 years he helped me understand that they smoke to curb their appetite. And they can't think straight. They are mentally ill from being traumatized.
exactly
@@cjay011 their mind goes into psychosis to protect them from more trauma and pain. I've seen it first hand. It is so sad. Then I get him help and he self sabotage bc he doesn't want the trauma of having the rug pulled out from under him. It's the only control he has is self sabotage. It is a vicous cycle. I can see it very clearly.
Super sad to hear this…
Let's go save some animals and say f*** human beings
I go days without food sometimes. It sucks.
We dont owe anyone a thing. Its nice to give and to see giving. But if we dont work for it soon there will be nothing.
The comment section is making me feel like i'm being gaslit
When you are used to 3+ meals a day, it can be extremely challenging.
I'm Homeless right Now, in Perry FL. _*People need to Experience this for "One day", Let alone Years They'll have a different Perspective on JUST HOW TOUGH IT IS ON YOU Physically, Mentally, Emotionaly!! People, this State of FLORIDA, THIS Country🇺🇸 Doesn't give a Dam about you!!*
You started late. This would be after shelters and soup kitchens close for the night. 3am to 7am is the hardest. The damp cold air, exhaustion, hunger and lack of sleep really wear on you. Find other homeless! They will give you safety in numbers and advice where to get what the next day. I say the most important things right now are sleep and clean water. I think you can see how useless the sign is. Carefully if you sleep on a vent the humidity can give you pneumonia. Your immune system is not going to be as strong. Ok morning time. Again follow the other homeless they will be headed towards soup kitchens. Don't advertise you are homeless believe in yourself, go to the library which has Internet access to hook you up with the local services and make sure to get to a shelter before supper time.
Notice you have not posted as of lately. Gets pretty hard on that side. And that is just 1 day. Imagine facing a life of feeling like that. I can say that. Me and my husband have been there off and on for 15 years of 21 years of marriage. It's hard to have hopes or dreams when you have absolutely nothing or no body. Alcohol is usually drank to warm the blood to try and stay alive for 1 more day. Not all drink alcohol though. But imagine doing that for a month. Then 6 months. Then a year. So many walk away, but we can not judge. In this day and age things are getting harder on everyone. We are on a fixed income and looking to being homeless again do to the sky rocket price hike in our area of rent. And the cost of food, electricity, water. Worse is when your income can't even cover the rent let alone anything else.
The people in power need us barely getting by.
This made me cry, my brother is homeless in the streets of San Francisco and I miss him very much
He doesn’t want to come home he’s heavy on the drugs, 😢 we all miss him, his room is still empty and ready for him to come back , but it’s never happened
Im so sorry...
May god be with him...
And constant fear of police harassment just for sitting somewhere ....facts
Brother May Allah bless you with time and money and keep your heart pure like it is now for the poor so you can keep helping the poor. I truelly respect what you doing you are an inspiring person and a realtalker facts on top of facts. Respect brother from the bottom of my heart.
This breaks my heart I am almost in the same boat food over my head but no food I am on disability can't afford it
Wow ! You’re brave man and strong. It’s really sad how homeless people go through and I noticed that people pass by and look at you like nothing! That’s is something that the city needs to do something about the homeless people. Good job for sharing 🙏
thank you for your support
I always wish I’m a millionaire and help people because me not having all the money like other people still helping homeless people so I support you thank you for helping people specially homeless ❤️❤️
Start small... if God can trust you with little he will trust you with more and more...
Jeeeezus what a posser 🤦 He has no clue what being homeless and starving feels like, stay out there for a couple months then you can say you know what it's like.
chill man, he tryed it for 1 day, he can imagine now how it is to suffering over months
"We got money for wars but can't feed the poor" Tupac
Most all homeless have their spirits broken as children by extreme childhood abuse. The dehumanization continues into their adulthood. Problem is when you are completely on your own without family you have to work double and triple time to make a good life. You will be socially isolated by the people in the middle caste as they have the luxury of doing superficial things and going on vacations to Hawaii while you are saving and going no where so you have an emergency fund. Being a girl it’s a little worse because the female culture as a gross general is nasty and petty making fun of people that walk in the door where they are working and wasting so much money on fake faces, fake hair and fake nails. It is impossible to relate to these people causing work tensions, maybe even job loss because you don’t fit with their culture. Hanging out with the low caste is no better, if you don’t participate in their poor cultural habits then you are not one of them and not fitting and won’t be able to gain opportunity or even keep work for example restaurant work and smoke breaks where everyone bonds and talks about their weekend party drama. I have thumped my head on the glass ceiling my whole life coming from nothing as a kid. It never gets better no matter how hard you work.
Think about poor kids in their rooms watching commercials for Christmas toys not getting anything. TV hurts
I am a grandmom... and I am SOOOO angry that the ADULTS make it a point to bring those children AWAY from you. I always made sure that my grands would always put SOMETHING in the hand, bag, cup etc... There but for the GRACE of GOD thank you for bringing this to the forefront MERRY XMAS
Nah, not completely 100% homeless and broke. You know you can go back to your life anytime you want. Not haveing that and being on the street is way beyond the feelings you feel. I know you help them, but at the same time, you exploit them. Would you be doing this without a camera crew. All the dramatics for the views, you haven’t the idea of the true struggle.
His videos are different though. Like he doesn’t even have a description or advertises anything. I believe he makes his videos to open peoples eyes. For example he made a great point in this video talking about millions going into entertainment but not to help life
Man 24hrs ain’t nothing…. That’s just a quick fast. Go for a week… or at least 3 days.
I fast for days on the regular… it’s mental and if you’re hydrated the human body can go for days even for weeks without food. Stop being dramatic my brother! We like you mission
For him it’s difficult .. we can’t judge
What keeps them there? Like your saying no way. But they choose to stay in it? I was homeless in a van wanted to dye. But met a woman that was bad off and told her to get in the van. Changed my life thank God
You don't ever do that you don't ever pick up food or drinks that is sitting on the ground that's a big No-No
To b homeless is to survive...it isnt about begging or panhandling...
Try going 50 hours without food and homeless people in those big cities have it made ! There are plenty of restaurants to dig in the trash . Try being broke and homeless in south Mississippi
I've lived off grid in Trapper Creek Alaska for 20 years now. I built my own tiny cabin here and I pounded my well by hand then too. 8 years ago I had cheap solar panels from Harbor Freight mailed to me. Now I can get internet access! And only 3 years ago I put my septic tank system down, digging it up by hand. Non of this has been easy. The Father led me out of one of the biggest cities in America to survive in the tundra, because my husband wanted to kill me because we were trying to be parents and had tests done to find out why I wasn't able to get pregnant. We found out during one of the tests that I had done on me that the reason that I was having trouble getting pregnant was because I had all my life a male nut where one of my ovaries was supposed to be. My husband promised me that he was going to kill me because of this. So I flew to Alaska and never looked back. I lived on the streets in Anchorage for 4 months. I am so grateful to one man who changed my life. I was begging for food on a Walmart parking lot and he gave me his car that he no longer needed. He had just bought a new car and told himself that he was give his old car to the next person who was asking for food. He told me that the only thing that he wanted was for me to pay it forward. I've been doing just that for 20 years now. I will spend the rest of my life paying that gift forward. I now have had a freebox here in Trapper Creek Alaska for 18 years. People donate things that other people need and I make sure who needs it gets it. It's not big enough to accept furniture or large items, but warm children's clothing and other needs you'll be able to recieve at my box. I am sitting here in my tiny cabin without a vehicle again. But I have Faith in our Father that he will again bless me so I can continue to pay it forward.
Merry Christmas Katherine🎄, hope everything is well with you and your family?
Put out a cup. Most ppl that give change dont want to have to speak to u. They just drop change and go about their lives.
I get why you're doing this, my friend here in the UK did a camp out for the homeless, she raised £££. See stayed out for a few days. Thanks for the awareness 🙏
i appreciate the experiment. However, it is totally different when you are actually NOT homeless. i ciuld go 24 hours without food. We all KNEW this is how itnis fornthe homeless. i am a little insultes that he is acting that way. After ONE DAY THAT DOESNT HAPPEN! Shame on him
Forget about shaming the guy…. he has good intentions in this video
So you're just a homeless guy with his own dedicated cameraman, there was no one inside the door as you shoved your sign against and banged on for no reason other than theatrics, and the "stealing" because you "had to" come on dude. The whole thing is a wreck and clearly just for views while pretending to raise awareness.
2:33 to 2:38 so true. That’s literally what rich people do.
I became homeless for helping homeless kids. And because they want on my lease I got kicked out of my home because I refused to put two teenage kids out on the street in the winter cold. I'm still in the middle of struggling to find a home for me and my kids, so it's rough and I appreciate what you do for people, that is what you call real love!!!
I watched a guy from my apartment window walking with no socks. He picked up a standing can of coca cola that was in the gutter, where the cars park, and drank it.
My heart broke. I wanted to run down and give him something. Starving will make one do things one never thought they would do. Best find restaurant garbage cans. They throw out full meals customers don't eat or finish.
Thank you for allowing us to see through the eyes of the homeless. I can't imagine. What a wake up call. I've learned alot here. There is much, much more suffering to each person's story than we realize. 💔
God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️ U
U are absolutely right about we have millions of dollars entertainment nothing for the poor imagine months out there
This had me in tears. After my divorce and when I was ready to date again, I would go get as much food and water that I could and go Downtown and try to feed as many people. If my date acted weird or wouldn’t help, that was that.
I literally am about to be evicted and have $60 to my name, but I would help someone in a heartbeat if they needed it.
You are such a wonderful person 💙
I like what you're trying to do but 24/hrs knowing your mansion is on deck is totally a different thing
At least he can raise the awareness as much as possible.
I think everyone knows that…it is just a social experiment for 24hrs.. at least he is willing to do it😅
Let all the miserable rich die. Because their living is an injustice.
This is like the early 2000s prank channel content lol
Ye
Brother indeed he save my life
I am so sorry for you 😔 How the people are like heartless monsters! Anyway, hats off to you to take this much risk. Love from Tamilnadu, India 🇮🇳🥰❤ May Almighty Jesus Bless you, your family & friends Abundantly with Happy, Long, Healthy Life.
