Heartbroken and Homeless in Paradise Guam | Sandy - His Story

  • I've seen and met many homeless people on Guam. By appearance it is easy to judge them. Getting to know them and their story is different, it could change your opinion one way or the other. In this video, I bring you the back story of Santiago - AKA Sandy or Santi. A homeless man I met three months ago. He reveals to me how and why he became homeless. He wanted me to tell his story on YT, in hopes that it will reach the mother of his five children. This is a sad story - this is his story.
    In this video, Doris, the mother of Sandys children, is not her real name. I chose to keep out her real name, but she, her children and those close to her will know who she is and hopefully respond via email or in the comment section of this video. I sat down and talked to sandy several time, to make sure I am as accurate as possible in telling his story.
    As with all my homeless subjects, 100% of YT earnings, regarding their respective video, will go to them. Please like, share, and subscribe.
    As always, thanks for watching. Sincerely, Benny.

    Can relate a little with him. My ex cheated and I went on wrong path neglecting my kid in my personal experience and was doing meth in my personal experience and by my hearts prayer, Jesus showed up, found $10 in a trash can to buy some food and soon found a place to rehab. Been clean off meth since 2006. I send out my prayers out to Sandy. Give Jesus a try, nothing to lose, speak to him from your heart to take any resentment and ask him for any help in what you need and want. Matthew 7:7

      Many people can relate. Some don’t know how to deal with it because they’re too embarrassed, and turn to drugs or alcohol. Thank you for sharing your story, it shows that Sandy’s not alone, and turning to Jesus really does help. I’m glad you got over that toxic relationship and doing better.

    What a lovely and painful life story I came across. I am a fellow micronesian where he is from, Chuuk FSM. I am an assistant pastor from one of the chuukese church of Jesus Christ here in Hawaii. Only one advice that I would like to give this fellow chuukese (Sandy) and I hope he will accept it take it and treasure it as only possible solution to this life that he has had for 20 very long years of suffering and lonely.
    Take Jesus seriously. ask Him to show you His ways to get yourself out of this mess. Ask Him to give you strength to get you to the other side of your suffering and misery. I encourage you, Sandy, do this and you will be having a peace of mind and get back to normal. I PROMISE YOU.
    THANK YOU,
    May the Lord hears your prayer fast.

    Sandy is a grown man! He’s been waiting around for Doris? I think after 20 years… she’s not coming back! If he loves his five children like he claims, he should go find work and support them! I don’t know why people feel sorry for him 🤷🏻‍♀️ and what about the five kids? Mother and father both abandoned them! They should both be embarrassed about that! Sandy, get a job. You work before, you have five kids, they’re waiting for you, just like you’re waiting for Doris!

      As for Sandy, Doris would break up with her recent BF, and tell him they would work things out, only to find another BF. This went on several times and two babies (not his) later.
      Thanks for your brutal honesty. Hope to see you soon.

      God specializes in broken hearts. Ok! there seems like there’s some depression. He needs to grieve properly, move on and get into therapy. Appealing to Doris will not help, in fact, she wouldn’t love him , she would cause more pain because she doesn’t love him. Sandy needs help understanding proper love. Does he speak about childhood trauma? If so,that may need to be addressed. There seems to be attachment and abandonment issues.
