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
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
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
4 YEARS HOMELESS!!! and he stay positive and smile! am sure when you get robbed one times ! you find (tools) to protect yourself again others homeless! too bad Mark did't ask him more questions about him! important one is why he become homeless? i hope his wish come true! godd luck Bobby!
Bobby! i hope you find a job and a safe place to live! he seem a nice person! he was please to answer to your questions Mark easy to see ! you are possible the only sweet person who want to talk to him that day!
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 !! 🤣😂
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!!!!!! 🙄🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
So sad ..I wish I was a rich man I would help him out...he dosen't seem like a bad person or drug addict.... I'm born and raised in Chicago and I plan to die here.. this is my city and I love it but it is hard here it's hard for me to even find work and I have no felonies...its sad... but God always provides that is the truth I wish this man the best and I pray that he will one day have a beautiful home and a great job
Mark did't ask him why he homeless? Chicago seem expensive city to live? i hope he out of the street now ! 6 years now this video! i hope you are ok too?

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 😁
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 !! 😃😋
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!
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🤗🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
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
The lowest in the eyes of people, but he's the best out there in reality.
Prayers and every blessing to him!
To all of the amazing homeless people God bless you.

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
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.
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.
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.
Still see him?
How is he now? from a fellow osrs player.
is he still homeless? I mean the video was 8 years ago.
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.
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....!
Best of luck to this man! No one should ever have to worry about getting hurt or robbed especially when they are sleeping!
4 YEARS HOMELESS!!! and he stay positive and smile! am sure when you get robbed one times ! you find (tools) to protect yourself again others homeless! too bad Mark did't ask him more questions about him! important one is why he become homeless? i hope his wish come true! godd luck Bobby!

How could anyone be so cruel to these people they have nothing. It’s disgusting
It's capitalism.
They try to survive in any way mean steal stuff from others homeless! when you have nothing to loose and nothing to hold on!
His eyesssss 😀
Bobby! i hope you find a job and a safe place to live! he seem a nice person! he was please to answer to your questions Mark easy to see ! you are possible the only sweet person who want to talk to him that day!
If this is the best economy ever then what do the homeless have to look forward to next.
