Dearest Mark, you are the voice crying in the wilderness. As an almost homeless widow with mental health issues, I have gratefully watched your work, your mission. I cry over your new friends and pray for them. Thank you for sharing and being my hands and feet and heart. May your voice be heard over all the selfish, blind platitudes. Cyn.
John, I'm from Montana and this absolutely broke my heart. You are a precious human being. I'm doing my best to try to get together some resources for you. Have emailed Mark here and will wait to see what he says. Don't give up because I really think the best part is yet to come for you...I know that sounds cliche...but I really feel that.
I got your email. I’m in a bit of an emergency myself because of power failure. My suggestion is to support local homeless services because there are lots of Johns. In fact, I local homeless family commented on this video.
Yes, I understand and we already do support our homelessness services but the fact is, this particular person is not getting the help he needs from those services...which he talked about in this video. I believe more in "stopping for the one" and since this is in our backyard, we definitely will try to locate John (Great Falls isn't a huge place...as far as population goes...and neither is most of Montana) and see if we can reach out to him and help him in any practical way. I don't really believe in "the system" because most of it is really broken. Down in Billings, the Rescue Mission is quite well-run but I have friends who have suffered greatly at other operations throughout the state that aren't as well-run. We will try our best to reach out. Hope you can get the power failure thing sorted...not sure what you're referring to but hope it gets sorted.
What a wonderful idea MB!! Please try to track him down and offer anything you can! I’m sure some people can locate him. Prove to him he isn’t “invisible”. My god, a childhood like that, those mental illnesses, and homelessness 😞😞 and him crying at the end broke my heart 😞 having been abused by my mother myself as a child I can only image what his wishes would have been 😞 xx
What a tragic story, John seems like such a lovely man, I can’t help but feel as though he’s been slighted in life. When he spoke of his mother nearly drowning him, only to be beaten by his grandpa, my heart just broke. I appreciate the introspection of the interviewer, for looking at his approach, and doing away with the “three wishes” bit. We all should examine our behaviors in order to improve upon our interactions. Thank you sir, these human beings are not invisible, and thanks to you we all have a better understanding.
I am not doing away with asking the three wishes but I am going to be more sensitive that there are times when I should not ask that question. Out of almost a thousand interviews, this is a first. The people who have commented they didn't like it were responding out of their own lens. I am in contact with many of the people I interviewed on this channel. No homeless person has said anything but good. That said, what this interview with John has taught me is that are times when I should not ask the question. At the foundation of our work is a strong belief that no one will get hurt. For example, each homeless person retains the rights to their own videos. We do that because life changes. People change. It also gives them the power of choice. John is a lovely man. Most people probably just judge him at a distance without ever knowing the backstory.
Hopefully the second half of his life will be better. He seems like such a kind, decent person. Many deserving people that you have interviewed got housing shortly afterward. I hope there's a benevolent benefactor out there who sees this and helps him get a good place to live.
I hope you helped him in any way you could??? When you see a man cry you know that things are bad!! I wish this man all the luck in the world!!! Much love and peace from England UK
1 second after the 3 wishes question I knew what was coming. Felt that myself before in my life. That was the most touching moment I ever saw in any of your videos. If there was a way for you to get him the money I'd send you $100 right now.
Sad, I really hope and pray a better life for John. Such a great soul for everything he’s gone through. Kickass backpack gives us a glimpse into the true spirit of his personality. I’m very upset he’s treated like an invisible person. This should never happen in one of the richest nations in the world. Sending all my love to John!❤️
It's because it's now called DID (disassociate identity disorder) in the DSM, but most people still know it by it's old name, multiple personality disorder. 'Alters' is a psychological term for the different personalities. So yes, this man has DID aka multiple personality disorder.
the homeless weigh heavy on my heart. thank you for this series on invisible people. people ask me sometimes how they can help “all the homeless” when it’s such a huge problem. i always tell them go to where they are, sit with them and talk to them like they’re your friend. it means so much to them bc all day people are yelling at them, telling them to move out of the way, ignoring them, looking down on them. just go and sit down beside them and ask them how they’re doing. that’s something we can do daily. over my lifetime i’ve had many homeless friends.
Poor guy!!!! I know what he's going through with the multiple personality disorder. I was abused as a child. I know exactly what he's talking about. This is real painful stuff. God bless this man.
I am glad he still has his freedom. I think they used to put people with multiple personality disorder in psychiatric clinics, which made their lives worse than hell, with all those heavy drugs and rigid controls.
@@maura1686 yes, there are still huge stigmas about mental health including multiple personality disorder which is now called dissociative identity disorder. I take tons of meds for my PTSD and depression. There's no cure or medication for Dissociative Identity Disorder but you can treat the symptoms of the individual alters and therapy helps the most. Therapy, counseling, treatment...etc... That will help the different alters mesh and work together as a team. Having his alters all be on the same page will make the biggest difference. If he can get the majority of his alters to want to do the same thing than he can accomplish so much more! I know this from personal experience. I am recieving therapy and treatment and my life is so much more complete and fulfilling. I hope this guy gets the help he needs and so desperately wants.
@@stephanieramires7750 If you have money, I would tell you to look for a holistic doctor, who uses vitamins supplements, coconut oil, curcumin and stuff like that, instead of the usual drugs.
@@maura1686 I've done all those things for about 4yrs now and I still do it as a supplement to my treatment. I tried to avoid taking psych meds like the plague but once I started getting arrested yearly and my marriage was falling apart I realized the natural stuff wasn't enough for me. This is only my experience and my truth that I'm talking about of course. I'm not condoning or promoting that people use psych meds, I'm only saying that in my particular case I need meds or I become psychotic and self destructive.
Hi John. I see you bro. I too was beat and savagely abused my whole childhood by my mom my dad and family friends. I left at 14 also. Or I’d be dead. I’ll be 53 soon. It’s been a daily struggle to keep alive. I feel ya bro. 3 wishes. Mine was I wish I never would have been born. The abuse I suffered has affected me my whole life.stay strong John. I see you friend.
God bless you john. I hope that one day someone somewhere takes the time to actually listen to you, help you and get you set up in your own little pad somewhere quiet. You deserve so much more than this. It breaks my heart honestly to see yo suffering when they should have helped you years ago at day dot. All my love from the uk John 💙🤗🇬🇧💪🏻
This is heartbreaking. I hope he gets help and, most importantly, housing, so he can start taking care of himself. My emotions are all over the place right now, it's so unfair for this poor guy to be in this situation.
Agreed ! GOFUNDME for him please ! So that everyone can donate some money to him ? Since he is not able to work with his mental illness, can he apply for the disability?
Dear John, you are a courageous and honest man; You have survived mountains of pain and terror because of your creation of alternate personalities. It is your alternate selves that are your most trustworthy friends! Sending you a multitude of blessings to you John.
Thank you Mark for giving this man some special attention, that made us feel good that his spirit got tended to. He will surely reflect on your encouragement and feel valued way after the scene.
Yvette Shokere I am weeping. This is the saddest thing outside of the abuse of children that I have heard of in a great while. We as a society have become so cold with all the violence we hear of in the news. I pray for this man that he will one day have peace. Abused since a child. He has never had true love from a person. Beyond words.
Omg my heart is breaking. Would there be any way to start a crowd funding account to help him out? Please let me know. I really want to help John out. He's had enough rough times. He deserves some happiness in life.
Can you imagine, having to sleep in a dog park observing other human beings caring for an animal more than the starving dying man on the bench? I'm praying for God's mercy on this man's life for teaching us about this season. God bless you.
I've been trying for a decade. Free care is full of cold people who dope you up and lock you up for expressing yourself. Then "good" ones charge like 175 an hour . It's bullshit. I live with one of my abusers that birthed me cause I'm sick and can't work due to mental and physical . I may end up like ol boy. I hope his knees hold up. If mine were better I'd be walking non stop to.
Someone please contact local library or gas station or something in Great Falls Montana to see if they will find more info so we can start to fund me for John.
Bless you& thanks so much for sharing all the stories you share, but, this man really has touched my heart in prayer tonight! I'm disabled myself, only get 750. A month & if I could I would give to this man! Thanks for sharing time with him also! I pray you can keep giving blessings to ppl& being us your videos! God blesses to Angel like you!
I can't even imagine how hard it must have been for John, he's one of the strongest out there. I love how you're giving these people voices, Mark. Based on your name, I was wondering, are you of Hungarian descent?
This man seems like he has been dealing with this, homelessness AND 'alternates behind the glass', stoically, and being strong against them, but that it has slipped up on him recently. That's what I get from panic attacks; they seem to happen because we're overwhelmed, perhaps too overwhelmed, for too long, and our threshhold of resistance is down. He's been handling it, being strong against it, but it has been so wearing that his resistance got low, just like when your immunity is low and you get an infection. May he get a real, clear conviction in his heart of how much God cares about him, despite what the world does, and just how _wrong_ it is that he's been put through this, starting with all that happened to him as an innocent child. Despite all that, he's a decent man. I want to help, but I have little that I can do. May I start praying in earnest for other people, instead of just thinking about what a good thing it would be to pray. I just want to tell him to hang on.
Default User no bending over backwards everytime 4 women bruv...there are all sorts of people out there. And there are ev n services set up specifically for males or females in some cities
God bless his sweet soul. Our govt can send billions of $ to other countries but cant seem to find $ to take care of our own. I wanted to just load up in my car and drive to where he is and bring him home with me and take care of him. This broke my heart into. Many many prayers for this precious man. John, we see you and we care. 🙏💔😢
This just breaks my heart when I see this happening to us. I hope this man finds some good samaratans to help him. I have met. So many homeless people in my life. I'll tell ya there r so many that r really good people..God bless him. His angels r always wth him..
He needs someone who will love him unconditionally. My heart breaks! Learning about these people stories make me a better person today because I take in so much information so I can be a better human being and not be a stuck up person. Always put yourself in others shoes! You’ll learn to not judges much!
Why do the good people have to suffer so damn badly? I don't know much about this man but from what I've seen here, he's got his ticket to heaven. So humble after the whole world quite literally stepped on him like he wasn't even there. I thought I had it rough living in a house that hasnt had electricity or hot water for 4 months but I know this man would do anything to have what I have. Crazy to think about. I pray he gets on his feet and finds his peace in this cold world. Don't forget to count your blessings people.
I wouldn't wanna be recorded.. but I know what hes going through. I hope he will find an get what he is seeking.. being a violent offender is hard to get housing around here... my past is not who I am.. but it haunts me to this day... God bless everyone
It's amazing to me that Ben Carson has to legitimately give an answer to Congress as to why illegal aliens shouldn't be eligible for public housing, yet natives, like this man, have to walk around homeless getting frostbite on their hands. Nature seems to be very cold and indifferent. John, at least from his account, was born to unfortunate circumstances he is still suffering from. If God does listen, I hope He can continue to give this man strength to keep persevering. He is carrying around a ton of pain, and deserves to heal. This one was hard to watch.
@paisleyyama I do not doubt that politicians are a big part of creating and worsening the problem. What I do not buy, is that any of the current players have any good solutions, or intend a solution. So when a discussion devolves into a typical, right v left, left v right, mud-throwing session, whatever the subject at habd was soon is forgotten, in favor of the mess and hatefest we've been enduring since before the last election. And that's a shame that should not happen. Not everything is an opportunity for them to get their licks in. Not everything is a venue for them to strut their stuff.
♥️ its called Dissociative Identity Disorder, its really hard to deal with and god i wish i could show him the huge online community of DID warriors. i wish we could have heard his 3 wishes though
Any mental health issues a person has will be exacerbated by being homeless. A lot of people think that first a person is mentally ill and then becomes homeless, but most of the emotional difficulty seen in people in homeless circumstances comes from being homeless. We should have housing first and then deal with the issue of how to treat mental health & drug issues. I believe people with mental health issues (i am one) should have their rights protected and should have choice in how they are treated. No forced treatments! See "Mad In America" www.madinamerica.com/
The sad thing about employment is that I do not think he is helpless at all, and could probably do great in the right job, but employers don't usually make allowances for people dealing with severe problems, who are otherwise capable and would be good, valued employees, or even run businesses and work for themselves. There has got to be a way for this man. I know there is.
@paisleyyama I agree that he should be given disability and housing. But I think that most of us, even when we have a disability income and housing assistance (which I do), would prefer to have some fitting form of work, to feel a sense of accomplishment, even when it's "just" a hired day's work well done. It makes a difference in our lives. It's vastly better.
@paisleyyama This is very good. I have done volunteer work at a time that I dearly needed the involvement it gave me. I got a sense of accomplishment and usefulness, from even rote taskwork, but I got to do more. Sometimes, you can even work up to work that makes a real difference in people's lives. But you could also supplement that with creative work that you might hope to do, or with something like gardening, if you have a place available to do it. Even fishing is productive work, and its alsoa quiet activity, when you need it. You could start a really small business, and it could grow, or stay small, and relatively more manageable. I was just thinking about the importance of having something to do. I feel it, so it is something that I value in life.
I hope he is blessed with more fortunes than his past, I believe this man needs help financially. If I could get every homeless "human being" off the street that wanted to be I would. He is in my thoughts and prayers.
I pray for him. I’m from the area and I imagine it is nearly impossible to survive Montana because of the weather. I know a lot of homeless people die because of the long harsh winters. I hope there will be more solutions in the future.
The few glimpses that I saw of Johns eyes. Stopped me in my tracks. I saw through to his soul. Kind, gentle, and very forgiving man. “ An old soul “ as I always grew up hearing from my mother. I hope he’s ok now. And has received help.
Man this guy has been through so much pain, my heart goes out to him. Nobody should have to suffer like he has. I hope he finds peace, life can be so cruel to some people.
Sending prayers for this man, that he can get the treatment he needs, mentally & physically , mental health in this country really needs to be addressed , this man should be in a treatment center not living on the streets , but unfortunately our society looks over them , it's easier than to deal with the problem . God bless you and hopefully will get the necessary help he truly needs .

John, I'm from Montana and this absolutely broke my heart. You are a precious human being. I'm doing my best to try to get together some resources for you. Have emailed Mark here and will wait to see what he says. Don't give up because I really think the best part is yet to come for you...I know that sounds cliche...but I really feel that.
I got your email. I’m in a bit of an emergency myself because of power failure. My suggestion is to support local homeless services because there are lots of Johns. In fact, I local homeless family commented on this video.
Yes, I understand and we already do support our homelessness services but the fact is, this particular person is not getting the help he needs from those services...which he talked about in this video. I believe more in "stopping for the one" and since this is in our backyard, we definitely will try to locate John (Great Falls isn't a huge place...as far as population goes...and neither is most of Montana) and see if we can reach out to him and help him in any practical way. I don't really believe in "the system" because most of it is really broken. Down in Billings, the Rescue Mission is quite well-run but I have friends who have suffered greatly at other operations throughout the state that aren't as well-run. We will try our best to reach out. Hope you can get the power failure thing sorted...not sure what you're referring to but hope it gets sorted.
What a wonderful idea MB!! Please try to track him down and offer anything you can! I’m sure some people can locate him. Prove to him he isn’t “invisible”. My god, a childhood like that, those mental illnesses, and homelessness 😞😞 and him crying at the end broke my heart 😞 having been abused by my mother myself as a child I can only image what his wishes would have been 😞 xx
I hope you're able to locate him. Seems a lot of people would like to him him out. Thank you for caring enough to search.
@@MB-vt5cw Did you ever find him? I'm in KC but I want to help him. Be his friend, send him money.or food, whatever I can do
What a tragic story, John seems like such a lovely man, I can’t help but feel as though he’s been slighted in life. When he spoke of his mother nearly drowning him, only to be beaten by his grandpa, my heart just broke. I appreciate the introspection of the interviewer, for looking at his approach, and doing away with the “three wishes” bit. We all should examine our behaviors in order to improve upon our interactions. Thank you sir, these human beings are not invisible, and thanks to you we all have a better understanding.
I am not doing away with asking the three wishes but I am going to be more sensitive that there are times when I should not ask that question. Out of almost a thousand interviews, this is a first. The people who have commented they didn't like it were responding out of their own lens. I am in contact with many of the people I interviewed on this channel. No homeless person has said anything but good. That said, what this interview with John has taught me is that are times when I should not ask the question. At the foundation of our work is a strong belief that no one will get hurt. For example, each homeless person retains the rights to their own videos. We do that because life changes. People change. It also gives them the power of choice.
John is a lovely man. Most people probably just judge him at a distance without ever knowing the backstory.
Invisible People, thank you for clarifying, I am truly inspired by your work!
@@InvisiblePeople ...they actually retain their rights? No way! Can you help me with the paperwork for this?
God bless him. I hope someone in the area helps him
Hopefully the second half of his life will be better. He seems like such a kind, decent person. Many deserving people that you have interviewed got housing shortly afterward. I hope there's a benevolent benefactor out there who sees this and helps him get a good place to live.
I just want to hug this man.
I hope you helped him in any way you could??? When you see a man cry you know that things are bad!! I wish this man all the luck in the world!!! Much love and peace from England UK
I would never leave anyone in an emotional state. Ever!
1 second after the 3 wishes question I knew what was coming. Felt that myself before in my life. That was the most touching moment I ever saw in any of your videos. If there was a way for you to get him the money I'd send you $100 right now.
I hope you can get it to him.
@@pattis.1645 I would to in a minute $100
I bet one wish is he would like to be normal. A normal functioning person
Heart breaking, shame on America that will not help our own
paisleyyama SO TRUE...
paisleyyama Amen!
Sad, I really hope and pray a better life for John. Such a great soul for everything he’s gone through. Kickass backpack gives us a glimpse into the true spirit of his personality. I’m very upset he’s treated like an invisible person. This should never happen in one of the richest nations in the world. Sending all my love to John!❤️
dude he literally said “it’s not a multiple personality disorder” and you titled the video as such, do him some justice
Yeah.. It's called dissociative identity disorder.. DID for short
*It gets more people to watch a video that more people should watch*
Jay Harter it is a disservice to him and others ailing
Jay Harter you must be damn well familiar with that condition!
It isn't just or right to exploit others.
Or do you feel some other way?
It's because it's now called DID (disassociate identity disorder) in the DSM, but most people still know it by it's old name, multiple personality disorder. 'Alters' is a psychological term for the different personalities. So yes, this man has DID aka multiple personality disorder.
the homeless weigh heavy on my heart. thank you for this series on invisible people. people ask me sometimes how they can help “all the homeless” when it’s such a huge problem. i always tell them go to where they are, sit with them and talk to them like they’re your friend. it means so much to them bc all day people are yelling at them, telling them to move out of the way, ignoring them, looking down on them. just go and sit down beside them and ask them how they’re doing. that’s something we can do daily. over my lifetime i’ve had many homeless friends.
Poor guy!!!! I know what he's going through with the multiple personality disorder. I was abused as a child. I know exactly what he's talking about. This is real painful stuff. God bless this man.
I am glad he still has his freedom. I think they used to put people with multiple personality disorder in psychiatric clinics, which made their lives worse than hell, with all those heavy drugs and rigid controls.
@@maura1686 yes, there are still huge stigmas about mental health including multiple personality disorder which is now called dissociative identity disorder. I take tons of meds for my PTSD and depression. There's no cure or medication for Dissociative Identity Disorder but you can treat the symptoms of the individual alters and therapy helps the most. Therapy, counseling, treatment...etc...
That will help the different alters mesh and work together as a team. Having his alters all be on the same page will make the biggest difference. If he can get the majority of his alters to want to do the same thing than he can accomplish so much more! I know this from personal experience. I am recieving therapy and treatment and my life is so much more complete and fulfilling. I hope this guy gets the help he needs and so desperately wants.
@@stephanieramires7750 If you have money, I would tell you to look for a holistic doctor, who uses vitamins supplements, coconut oil, curcumin and stuff like that, instead of the usual drugs.
@@maura1686 I've done all those things for about 4yrs now and I still do it as a supplement to my treatment. I tried to avoid taking psych meds like the plague but once I started getting arrested yearly and my marriage was falling apart I realized the natural stuff wasn't enough for me. This is only my experience and my truth that I'm talking about of course. I'm not condoning or promoting that people use psych meds, I'm only saying that in my particular case I need meds or I become psychotic and self destructive.
@@stephanieramires7750 Isn't there a time when your body gets used to the drug and it doesn't work anymore? What happens next?
Hi John. I see you bro. I too was beat and savagely abused my whole childhood by my mom my dad and family friends. I left at 14 also. Or I’d be dead. I’ll be 53 soon. It’s been a daily struggle to keep alive. I feel ya bro. 3 wishes. Mine was I wish I never would have been born. The abuse I suffered has affected me my whole life.stay strong John. I see you friend.
We need you here Steven, and I’m glad u were born. Keep being light to world
Prayers sent for this man. My heart goes out to him. No one should be homeless
Very affecting. This man deserves help and respect.
Exactly
We all need to advocate for more support and more housing
I want to hug him...Heart officially broken.
God bless you john. I hope that one day someone somewhere takes the time to actually listen to you, help you and get you set up in your own little pad somewhere quiet. You deserve so much more than this. It breaks my heart honestly to see yo suffering when they should have helped you years ago at day dot. All my love from the uk John 💙🤗🇬🇧💪🏻
So very sad breaks my heart strings, prayers for him keep him safe and warm 😥
My original reply deleted, but people saw it nonetheless...
This is heartbreaking. I hope he gets help and, most importantly, housing, so he can start taking care of himself. My emotions are all over the place right now, it's so unfair for this poor guy to be in this situation.
Thank you for docementing people's plight!
God this is heartbreaking 😞😞 he is not invisible! Is there a way I can get money to him, please??
Agreed ! GOFUNDME for him please ! So that everyone can donate some money to him ? Since he is not able to work with his mental illness, can he apply for the disability?
Jasmine Moukachar me too...want to give to John...with an update video
I’d also like to donate!!
I’m in to donate
I want to help him
Dear John, you are a courageous and honest man; You have survived mountains of pain and terror because of your creation of alternate personalities. It is your alternate selves that are your most trustworthy friends! Sending you a multitude of blessings to you John.
What an incredibly sweet human being
God bless you John. Montana is a terrible place to be homeless.So many rich people in that state, you think they could do more for these people.
Condolences to that man going through all what he is going through. I pray God takes his hand and puts him on the better Journey
I see you John and you are beautiful.
I hope everything turns around for this man he seems like a good guy
don't neglect your true neighbors while letting endless numbers of dependents in from other countries
You You what’s your addy
John, your a beautiful soul man, I wish you all the best & my prayers are with you.
Thank you Mark for giving this man some special attention, that made us feel good that his spirit got tended to. He will surely reflect on your encouragement and feel valued way after the scene.
Sob. God please help this poor man. I feel so bad
Yvette Shokere I am weeping. This is the saddest thing outside of the abuse of children that I have heard of in a great while. We as a society have become so cold with all the violence we hear of in the news. I pray for this man that he will one day have peace. Abused since a child. He has never had true love from a person. Beyond words.
I am devastated for him and all of those children of God that have to suffer like this.
Omg my heart is breaking. Would there be any way to start a crowd funding account to help him out? Please let me know. I really want to help John out. He's had enough rough times. He deserves some happiness in life.
This man has put me to tears I can't believe how people can go through so much yet no one knows about them nor are they bothered about their welfare
Can you imagine, having to sleep in a dog park observing other human beings caring for an animal more than the starving dying man on the bench? I'm praying for God's mercy on this man's life for teaching us about this season. God bless you.
Currently contacting friends and family in the are to see if anyone has any means to help... however small
Thank you for caring enough to do that.
Did you find out who this guy is?
Anne Elizabeth no, sadly no one stepped up. I live 4hrs away and can’t really travel.
You You that is always a possibility people come from all different backgrounds
How awful for this man. There needs to be more resources for ppl like him
I've been trying for a decade. Free care is full of cold people who dope you up and lock you up for expressing yourself. Then "good" ones charge like 175 an hour . It's bullshit. I live with one of my abusers that birthed me cause I'm sick and can't work due to mental and physical . I may end up like ol boy. I hope his knees hold up. If mine were better I'd be walking non stop to.
That is so sad. Nobody deserves to live like that or go through that.
I’m with you man❤️I love you John hang in there bro
We've got to take care of our fellow citizens.
we do
Someone please contact local library or gas station or something in Great Falls Montana to see if they will find more info so we can start to fund me for John.
I feel for this guy, I really hope he finds the help and support he needs.
Very sad story system is broken and has failed this man his whole life I will pray for him tonight
U can pray for him anytime. GOD is everywhere & HE knows everything.
Bless you& thanks so much for sharing all the stories you share, but, this man really has touched my heart in prayer tonight! I'm disabled myself, only get 750. A month & if I could I would give to this man! Thanks for sharing time with him also! I pray you can keep giving blessings to ppl& being us your videos! God blesses to Angel like you!
I can't even imagine how hard it must have been for John, he's one of the strongest out there.
I love how you're giving these people voices, Mark. Based on your name, I was wondering, are you of Hungarian descent?
This man seems like he has been dealing with this, homelessness AND 'alternates behind the glass', stoically, and being strong against them, but that it has slipped up on him recently. That's what I get from panic attacks; they seem to happen because we're overwhelmed, perhaps too overwhelmed, for too long, and our threshhold of resistance is down. He's been handling it, being strong against it, but it has been so wearing that his resistance got low, just like when your immunity is low and you get an infection. May he get a real, clear conviction in his heart of how much God cares about him, despite what the world does, and just how _wrong_ it is that he's been put through this, starting with all that happened to him as an innocent child. Despite all that, he's a decent man. I want to help, but I have little that I can do. May I start praying in earnest for other people, instead of just thinking about what a good thing it would be to pray. I just want to tell him to hang on.
God bless this precious man and May the Lord keep him in His care🌺
Oh my dear
This lovely man.....
My heart breaks for him. I hope he can find some help.
Default User no bending over backwards everytime 4 women bruv...there are all sorts of people out there. And there are ev n services set up specifically for males or females in some cities
God bless his sweet soul. Our govt can send billions of $ to other countries but cant seem to find $ to take care of our own. I wanted to just load up in my car and drive to where he is and bring him home with me and take care of him. This broke my heart into. Many many prayers for this precious man. John, we see you and we care. 🙏💔😢
I live in Europe and the same is here who says they sent it i think it goes straight into their own pockets
This just breaks my heart when I see this happening to us. I hope this man finds some good samaratans to help him. I have met. So many homeless people in my life. I'll tell ya there r so many that r really good people..God bless him. His angels r always wth him..
And no one can help this man..absolutely sick society!
Let's start a crowdfunding in this babylonian society this will help you to get any further
John still is a handsome man.
Maura yes...he kinda looks like the guy who played Matt ( Kelly's boyfriend) on the original 90210
@@DianaBranch damnnn you look hella good
Minus having no teeth lol.
You You wya
Absolutely heartbreaking.
Yes
He needs someone who will love him unconditionally. My heart breaks! Learning about these people stories make me a better person today because I take in so much information so I can be a better human being and not be a stuck up person. Always put yourself in others shoes! You’ll learn to not judges much!
What a lovely guy...IV watched this a couple of times...please anyone watching this that lives in that area..give him some of ur time..please..
Why do the good people have to suffer so damn badly? I don't know much about this man but from what I've seen here, he's got his ticket to heaven. So humble after the whole world quite literally stepped on him like he wasn't even there. I thought I had it rough living in a house that hasnt had electricity or hot water for 4 months but I know this man would do anything to have what I have. Crazy to think about. I pray he gets on his feet and finds his peace in this cold world. Don't forget to count your blessings people.
Me my husband and children are in a homeless shelter in great falls mt... god bless you.
what shelter? I am still in town.
Cameron family center
@@InvisiblePeople please interview them Mark.
I wouldn't wanna be recorded.. but I know what hes going through. I hope he will find an get what he is seeking.. being a violent offender is hard to get housing around here... my past is not who I am.. but it haunts me to this day... God bless everyone
@@klwthe3rd that's always the person's choice :)
I hope someone helps him..please..its so sad to see him cry...it breaks my heart
Wow..... having DID and being homeless... I can’t even imagine... God bless John, will have you in my prayers.
How did you become homeless.
What about my ballistic missiles 🚀
God Bless You I pray Great Falls treats you well.I live in Billings Montana.I wish people were kinder.
Dear Lord, please help John. My heart is broken to see this man cry. I don't have any more words.
I was homeless myself and I know how he feels. I'm bipolar with severe anxiety and PTSD and it was a good interview. It made me cry
It's amazing to me that Ben Carson has to legitimately give an answer to Congress as to why illegal aliens shouldn't be eligible for public housing, yet natives, like this man, have to walk around homeless getting frostbite on their hands.
Nature seems to be very cold and indifferent. John, at least from his account, was born to unfortunate circumstances he is still suffering from. If God does listen, I hope He can continue to give this man strength to keep persevering. He is carrying around a ton of pain, and deserves to heal.
This one was hard to watch.
Guys, please don't make this about the politicians.
@paisleyyama I do not doubt that politicians are a big part of creating and worsening the problem. What I do not buy, is that any of the current players have any good solutions, or intend a solution. So when a discussion devolves into a typical, right v left, left v right, mud-throwing session, whatever the subject at habd was soon is forgotten, in favor of the mess and hatefest we've been enduring since before the last election. And that's a shame that should not happen. Not everything is an opportunity for them to get their licks in. Not everything is a venue for them to strut their stuff.
Is there any link to donate for this guy
You You 😂. Wya
♥️ its called Dissociative Identity Disorder, its really hard to deal with and god i wish i could show him the huge online community of DID warriors. i wish we could have heard his 3 wishes though
John may connect with me and our online support group. We talked about it. Many do. If he does, I’d love to connect him to your group.
Oh my gosh that would be so great!! Thank you!!!
Wish you a safe home! 🍀🐞🍀And real help
Any mental health issues a person has will be exacerbated by being homeless. A lot of people think that first a person is mentally ill and then becomes homeless, but most of the emotional difficulty seen in people in homeless circumstances comes from being homeless. We should have housing first and then deal with the issue of how to treat mental health & drug issues. I believe people with mental health issues (i am one) should have their rights protected and should have choice in how they are treated. No forced treatments! See "Mad In America" www.madinamerica.com/
You clearly know what you're talking about, I completely agree with what you wrote.
Im from Montana there are
Caring people...but why isn't
He helped..breaks my heart.
The sad thing about employment is that I do not think he is helpless at all, and could probably do great in the right job, but employers don't usually make allowances for people dealing with severe problems, who are otherwise capable and would be good, valued employees, or even run businesses and work for themselves. There has got to be a way for this man. I know there is.
@paisleyyama I agree that he should be given disability and housing. But I think that most of us, even when we have a disability income and housing assistance (which I do), would prefer to have some fitting form of work, to feel a sense of accomplishment, even when it's "just" a hired day's work well done. It makes a difference in our lives. It's vastly better.
@paisleyyama This is very good. I have done volunteer work at a time that I dearly needed the involvement it gave me. I got a sense of accomplishment and usefulness, from even rote taskwork, but I got to do more. Sometimes, you can even work up to work that makes a real difference in people's lives. But you could also supplement that with creative work that you might hope to do, or with something like gardening, if you have a place available to do it. Even fishing is productive work, and its alsoa quiet activity, when you need it. You could start a really small business, and it could grow, or stay small, and relatively more manageable. I was just thinking about the importance of having something to do. I feel it, so it is something that I value in life.
Such a sweet kindhearted man! So heartbreaking to watch!
I hope he is blessed with more fortunes than his past, I believe this man needs help financially. If I could get every homeless "human being" off the street that wanted to be I would. He is in my thoughts and prayers.
this is heart breaking... hope he's geting well
This poor man had led such a tortured life but his gentle soul persists. God bless him.
If we all weren't ripped off
From corruption...there should never be one homeless
Person!
1 mtnhaven ...agree, it's by design we are scammed continually....it must change! First step is the awareness.
Im praying for you John, with all that i am
Amen.
Amen!🙏🙏
I pray for him. I’m from the area and I imagine it is nearly impossible to survive Montana because of the weather. I know a lot of homeless people die because of the long harsh winters. I hope there will be more solutions in the future.
The few glimpses that I saw of Johns eyes. Stopped me in my tracks. I saw through to his soul. Kind, gentle, and very forgiving man. “ An old soul “ as I always grew up hearing from my mother. I hope he’s ok now. And has received help.
Help this man.
Hate to see people going through stuff like this. I wish this world can be a better place to live 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Man this guy has been through so much pain, my heart goes out to him. Nobody should have to suffer like he has. I hope he finds peace, life can be so cruel to some people.
God Bless you John❤️🌷❤️Please God Help this poor man with his mental problems.🙏
Heartbreaking 😓
Sending prayers for this man, that he can get the treatment he needs, mentally & physically , mental health in this country really needs to be addressed , this man should be in a treatment center not living on the streets , but unfortunately our society looks over them , it's easier than to deal with the problem . God bless you and hopefully will get the necessary help he truly needs .
Poor soul.. I hope he gets a break
