It’s definitely not all sunshine and rainbows for everyone. Hard work prevails and you need to be willing to put it in.
DO NOT relocate ANYWHERE without a solid plan put in place...(as well as a plan B, C, etc...)
So true... You definitely have to have your plan A, B and C
Wow that was deep. Sounds like he had an earlier opportunity for help but declined. In the end he found a support system that helped him push through, which is great! Never question the path of success just respect the determination it took to get there.
Exactly!
I'm glad that things worked out in the end for dude. However, I was a tad turned off when he stated, "I don't believe in welfare." First off, doesn't he understand by living in a shelter he was already receiving welfare? There is a cost involved in that space being open, including the cost of water, electricty, the workers' salarly, etc.
My thoughts are this...he could use the welfare system to boost himself up. Then, hopefully at some point in his life, he'd be in a position to pay it forward. That could be, for example, donating to the homeless or to programs that help train homeless youths. Just my two cents.
You're right!
Very touchy story, but he stopped me once he said he didn’t believe in welfare. I know people personally that allow their pride get the best of them. I’m glad he made it out and living a good life. A wiseman once told me “the quicker way for someone to be forgotten, is their pride” that always stayed with me
You're right. I am looking at this welfare thing differently now.
Its sad to think how many future truck drivers, police officers, teachers, programmers, doctors, welders, and sales people have been lost because they felt too much pride to take food stamps for 3 months to get back on their feet.
Everyone falls.
That's a lovely story full of hope. Thank you. I was living with an abusive bf and now face being homeless in Tampa. I'm a talented barber by trade and pray I can find work and remain safe In the streets until then
So he believed in the shelter (temporary) but not welfare (temporary)? Okay.
Sounds like it
Eric, what a great success story. He made the right choices for him. This does bring up a reality of Florida. With tourism brings jobs and most are low paying in that industry, it’s hard to break out of the cycle, but this man obviously did with job training. Congrats.
Did he mention why he didn’t attend the CDL training in Tampa? Truck drivers are needed here too.
Rent is higher, but we also don’t get laid off due to weather.
All things to consider when moving to a new area. Happy he found his happier place.
Wow that story hit me hard 😥 I thought I had it bad down there. Iam very happy he got his CDL and is doing good for him self. This story proves that it not all sunshine and rainbows down there. I know a lot the people that watch your videos are thinking of moving down there. I would just say this don't let whether dictate where you live if you have a good job please be smart. Make sure that you are able to handle hot weather for 8 to 9 months of the year before you move down there.
Very true! Im fortunate I was able to move with my job but who knows what the future holds.
Man I love the underdog stories. I'm happy for this guy god keep blessing you beloved. People need to appreciate life and all the lil blessings!!!!!!!
Me too
God bless him!
I stopped the video when he said that he didn't believe in welfare. I dont feel sorry for him now
Agreed, he also lived in is car in Indiana so this really has nothing to do with Florida.
He believed in those shelters tho...
I think him moving to FL helped him to find his way back to where he is now.
Unless you own your own business even having a job is form of welfare. Yes, you exchange your labor but a good company will provide healthcare, retirement plans, legal assistance, car assistance, and other employee welfare benefits.
The company takes the burden off you finding these things on your own in the open market. They took the risk of starting the business to create your job, and they pool their resources to provide these benefits in theory at a reduced or no cost to you.
Damn he walked across the Gandy. Damnn
Crazy right!?
@@EricEvolving yea I use to go to the street races at Gandy. No the bridge to walk across...
Great story!!
In the end of the day it wasn't really Florida, but his support system that failed him. Once he found a better support system he succeeded.
I think it was him realizing he needed a skill to level up.
No his support systems were fine. He ultimately realized that before his pride truly got the best of him that he needed stop being hard headed, and not blow his last and final option with his biological mother.
Them streets finally got a lil too cold!
That testimony is AMAZING, and no it actually made him stronger. His destiny wasn’t to be in FL, and I’m so proud of him, Blessings to him.
Exactly that wasn't his destiny, sounds like he found his way.
Interesting story and a amazing outcome. But Bottom line, you can end up homeless in any state.
Good for this man in finding his way.
Although I have never personaly used welfare I am happy the resource is available to me, if hard times should cometh. And if you live long enough hard times avoid no one. Jobs are lost and everyone does not have family to lean on.
Like the vast majority I would use welfare as a bridge to find my way back to solid ground. My parents are not living so using my Mom's basement while I figure things out is not an option for me.
I am willing to bet money there is a viewer out there with an identical story who took the full assistance, stayed in FL, got his CDL, and is now living his best life in Tampa. But hey everyone has to learn their own lessons in this life.
Best of luck to him in his future.
Vince very true bro. I too don't have that support system so yea I would have to figure something out.
Florida is rough when you trying to start from scratch. I been down there a few times and it’s rough I’ve slept in bathrooms, on the beach under bridges and even on a empty sailboat in gibsonton.
Also there seems to be a I got money vibe down there and people flexing everywhere
Deep ive heard alot of similar situations and that florida dont take likely to the homeless
No they don’t the waiting list are forever! You can do everything they tell you, but if your credit is bad your going to stay homeless.
Well i know if you are homeless and deaf in Tampa you are disqualified for any help anywhere
Now the cops see a homeless person they lock them up .
