- Bonny is homeless in Chicago. The night before he slept on the train. He says sleeping on the train is safer than sleeping outside. He has been doing this for 4 years!
Every morning he tried to get day labor work. If get's a gig he can get into a hotel for the night. If he doesn't, he panhandles for food and train fare

About Invisible People:
Since its launch in November 2008, Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vlog (video blog) gets up close and personal with veterans, mothers, children, layoff victims and others who have been forced onto the streets by a variety of circumstances. Each week, they’re on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as UA-cam, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.
Invisible People goes beyond the rhetoric, statistics, political debates, and limitations of social services to examine poverty in America via a medium that audiences of all ages can understand, and can’t ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nation’s most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath - its founder - and brings into focus the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions face each day. One story at a time, videos posted on InvisiblePeople.tv shatter the stereotypes of America’s homeless, force shifts in perception and deliver a call to action that is being answered by national brands, nonprofit organizations and everyday citizens now committed to opening their eyes and their hearts to those too often forgotten.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.
I love how a lot of these people featured here wish for better lives for others as well as themselves. I wish this man the best. He has concrete goals for himself, which is a super important step towards getting himself to a safer and more predictable living situation
Mark, You seem to have a knack for finding the most loving souls that live on the street. God Bless.
You have summed it up🤗🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The lowest in the eyes of people, but he's the best out there in reality.
One of my best friends is 86 years old and remembers the depression as a child and all the poverty, homelessness, and drifting created by it. She also remembers the 1980s, when our modern wave of mass homelessness was created by Reagan's transferring of social service funds to the military, prisons, and police. She says that during the depression, you never heard, "Get a job!" or other mean taunts at poor people. Instead, poor people went door to door asking for food and people gave it to them, and she lived in a well-off section of Illinois where her family and others gave the food. She is appalled by the hate and hostility directed toward the homeless and the poor today. It's always good to have a reminder that things haven't always been the way they are now. It means improvement is not impossible for us, that meanness isn't just something innate and unchanging in society.
colibri1 Blame Reagan??? Wow!!! Obama did a great job...wasnt he supposedly gonna fix everything? Stop blaming presidents..you still have personal choices and can make it in this country
Thanks Colibri1,I was getting quite depressed after listening this man story,then I've met your comment.
don't forget that back then the society was living according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Don't be a dick, another idiot trying to blame everything bad on Republicans. Do some research. STFU
its always fun to read retardd butthurt republicans crying,Trump lost btw
If you watch enough of these videos you get a running theme. A homeless person asks for a job, a place to live and WORLD PEACE.
Prayers and every blessing to him!
i have so much respect for you, the creator of this channel. i like watching these videos to get a reality check and to appreciate what i have.
Reality. You can work all day, get paid and still not be able to afford a room....
Amen. It's tough out here
God soooooo true
Facts.
Also, u can work barely 4 hours and still earn way more. The moral of the story is work smart.
@Salim Al-Jabry probably to take a bath.
To all of the amazing homeless people God bless you.
When I went to Chicago for two summers...I thought finding work would be so easy, it was NOT. In fact, brutal. He's right about the outer neighborhoods being dangerous/gangs. He's has blue ice eyes...if he's reading these comments-go to look into dental schools-many times they will offer you free services-this poor man needs teeth. good bless
He don't need teeth ! he need a job and a place to live! the teeth come after....!
i been seeing and talking to this guy everytime i come out of work i try to help him in every which way i can , he also has a dog thats pretty nice
please do.....pay it forward.

How excactly the country is dealing with the homeless little unfortunate people????
Best places for "free lunch and supper" in Chicago and Evanston: Beth Emet Synagogue on Weds (always did seconds and thirds) 😆; Holy Name Cathedral on State St (forgot what day it was) but they had the best meatballs and gravy mm .. mm .. yum !! You don't wanna miss Thanksgiving 😄; Ebenezer church in Evanston, best "soul food" this part of Chicagoland .. And there was one on Wilson Ave just off Truman College on Tuesdays; St Thomas of Canterbury on Thursdays .. Those were the days !! 🤣😂
Wish I could help you :(
Jesus shows us this,be lucky you have a roof over head.
Why do people have to make a comment to someone who is down on their luck, why can't they give them a word of encouragement, buy them some food, and a hot drink, there for the grace of God go i!!!!!! 🙄🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
❣️⚡
Does he have a gofundme?
Bobby*
As long as you have the Link card, live there in that place in Evanston .. You're set man .. You don't have to work your entire life .. Just live off the system 😁
Mark do you see that the proportions are pretty equal as far as ethnicity and age?
Dont you mean Bobby mark not bonny
Dude the best place to be at in Chicagoland if in this situation is that place in Evanston. They overfeed you for breakfast and dinner. They give you free bus passes and help you find a job. Damn I miss the dinners there mm mm .. so yummy !! 😃😋
assassins creed?
Good that you feminized the Foods name
World peace first in trump we trust
McDonalds always is hiring. No excuse
Am sure it hard to stay clean when you live on the street ! the fews money people give you .. that goes on food first! when you are homeless for more than 4 years .. ! am sure your chance to be hired by company are slim! because prejuddiced again homelessness! some of them have just bad luck like Bobby!
