    Mark interviews a lot of noble people on this channel but Carmen definitely takes the cake. He has no reason to help these people yet his enthusiasm blows me away. He truly gives new meaning to the words, hands on. Great video.

      What do you mean by "he has no reason to help these people"? We are brothers and sisters in humanity aren't we, so why not? We never know may be one day we're the one who need some helps. So why not we help one another and make the world a better place. Peace

    This is so great...I have been in a wheelchair, to a walker....to now walking alone....why because of Invisible people. I always advocated for the living rough...but was in an accident, and unable to even walk...and it was so frustrating, with low funds to boot....Mark and these beautiful souls...gave me the hope and determination to fight, so I can get out and help.. I am doing everything, I can, even with little things....just to put a smile on someone's face. I know it's not going to end this horrible thing called homelessness....But I'm trying to do what I can to help. My prayers and love to Mark , your mom..hope she is getting better and your tribe of angles, housed and unhoused..xx

      Maynard Yes, I live here, but not near the bay.
      I live in an old neighborhood - no homeless here - not since he passed (and he lived under the railroad tracks, most of the time, which are a good 30 minutes on foot away from my house).
      I’ve never thought of Yokohama being swallowed up by Tokyo. They’re so very different from one another that I cannot really grasp this sentiment. Sorry.

    You make me want to go out right now and help ppl in my area more. The mom/housewife who is coming to tent city and helping the ppl there is a great role model for her children. Bringing her children to help with this is what all of us mothers should be teaching our children. Give back to others. If you are blessed with income, money, give some back to others. I wish we weren’t on social security. I wish I had more money to help others. Lastly I wish housing for all the homeless. These are my three wishes, Mark.

I'm from Canada P.E.I were fortunate here there's not a lot of homeless, but people are going hungry, some only getting one meal a day Monday to Friday, it's heartbreaking. My daughter lives in Moncton and is a Realtor, she donates 20% of each home she sells to Blessing In Backpack, , she's helping to feed the children on the weekends. My other daughter does fundraisers (running) for charity, proud of both of them. I used to volunteer at Salvation Army cooking, i'm physical not able to right now, but I'll be back as soon as I get the go ahead. Bless you all.🙏🏻

It is heartbreaking to see these people in those situations, whether from circumstances or by choice. They need our help and compassion. Please keep up the phenomenal work that you do in bringing awareness and helping people. We love your channel Mark.

    This is a dog eat dog world and some people just want to drop out of society. Like when they go for housing and no one helps them actually get in the housing, they just give up. You deal with rude landlords, disrespectful neighbors, keeping up the apartment, and it is too much stress. You have to really have a lot of ambition to go from being homeless to getting into housing and staying there. These people are often alone with no support systems like family and friends. When things go wrong, no one is there to help out.

      except thats not the problem. The problem is drug addicts dont like living with people who have "rules" that interfere with thier addictions, so they seek a place where rules like "dont do heroin" are not enforced. These zones should be eliminated, not encouraged.

I think drugs aren't the problem so much as a feeling of discouragement and just not being able to focus enough to stay housed.

      @@jonpluc Drugs are a major part of U.S. society. It was back in the 70's, before homelessness was a " thing.". Because back in the day, rents were very cheap and the dollar had so much more buying power. You could have a part- time job and still live decently,pay the rent, have money left over to save. Nothing like today,with inflated prices, stagnant wages, the petrodollar. The perfect storm of poverty and ruin for a country.

    A couple of years ago we had to find a friend of mines mother I grew up with. She was homeless. She was a high school nurse. Anyway, this was in Saratoga and Schenectady. We met up with and found her friend first who brought us to her. There was a tent city behind a price chopper in Saratoga. My friend who went to art school tried to start a program called homeless helpers. It was to try to get businesses to put a sticker in their window to show that they were friendly to helping homeless from anything like a bathroom or to helping fill out paper work. Paperwork for treatment food or homes can be very hard. Even the phones they give only have a certain amount of time and half that time if not all is spent on hold. Her mother is not homeless anymore. Some of the people she met with her mom and took beautiful pics of have died since. It’s a sad situation.

      I think those people who didn't want it to happen are not just greedy but suffer from psychosis. These people have entitlement mentality they have lack of empathy and a lack of morals and ethics. And by definition that is a classic sociopath. One of the things that most people fail to realize is that government is mostly made up of sociopaths this is true for local governments to the federal level. Society itself is basically no good. Yes there are some really good people out there who want to help and who volunteer but the majority of society are apathetic and a large segment is sociopathological in nature. Obviously varying levels you have your nondescript mostly harmless sociopath but then as these people get higher up in the ranks We're talking about full-blown psychopathological beings who are a detriment to society.

I've had to scavage for them just on occasion to afford half n half for my coffee and I'd have to walk n walk till I hit the jack pot.

    What an amazing guy Carman is. Building those small cottages on his own property to house 18 people at the last count. He even went to the mayor I believe and offered to build many more at one of the homeless camp sites, but was refused as they didn't want to make it a permanent site, but these would be smart properties which would be going a long way to giving many people a safe place to live away from the elements and give them safety and security and it wouldn't have cost the local government any money. Makes no sense. From London, UK.

Much love..

      I’m taking care of my girlfriend with schizophrenia (and I tried some of the antipsychotics myself)
      - without medication they tend to become socially withdrawn and isolate themselves and have weird ideas to go outside to “pursue freedom” because of their delusions
      - with these medications it is very difficult to focus or get things done for normal people
      I just want to know how much % of homeless people are sane and how much are due to mental health issues

      @@menuhin Sane is a legal term. Most people have issues with thoughts and emotions to differing degrees. I don't believe mentally ill people were just lounging on the sides of the roads and back in the woods unable to focus and accomplish things until the medications were introduced in like the 1950's.
      They used to keep undesirables locked up, now they just dump them on the streets with chemical lobotomies, and they don't know how to function in the world. People with focus might be homeless for a while and then figure out a way to get back into housing.

      I’m not saying I’m on the same page with mental health medication
      Diagnosis is also just a medical definition, not just the word “sane”. Please watch the documentaries and training videos when they interview schizophrenic patients, my point is, these are clearly mentally ill people that one cannot even have making-sense conversations with, like in these videos.

    I love how your videos can help make such a huge difference to people's lives. I think, globally, house properties are beyond a lot of people's reach. This is skyrocketing upwards all the time. What is needed is a cap on rents and social housing. It's the richest countries that have the largest homeless populations. They should be ashamed to say that they are first world countries, when they have people living in third world conditions.

The way you talk to people with respect and respect them by not filming unless they want you too and laughing and enjoying the day as you're doing you're donating of the propane tanks in tents and Waters and things it's just amazing I wish Petoskey Harbor Springs area could do this kind of stuff to I don't believe we do if we do I'd like to get involved closer I'm not close to Traverse City but bravo to what you're all doing.

    I couldn't survive with all my health issues! But along time ago I made a promise to myself, I was going to have to pay my rent ( auto deposited.) So this would not happen to me. But I also live in Vancouver Canada. And it's colder than normal winter's.
    I wish I had resources to help.
    I've helped some young people I've come across, in the community. It breaks my heart to see these young people having such a rough go of it.
    Thanks for doing God's Work, and helping the disadvantaged.

    In the 80's there was a huge push to close Mental health institutions and support for the mentally disabled. Sadly almost every single homeless person I see is usually coupled with some sort of mental disability or a drug addict. What a sad society we've groomed to live in, where we have more concern over feeding and sheltering homeless animals over human beings. Our only consolation is that our stay on this terrible planet is at least only temporary.

    Such as those who have lost their way, struggle to just survive the day... amidst the pressure of poverty/territories/hate

In the meantime he lives in his pickup truck for the past 2yrs. I think if every people in every town and state in America adopts one homeless person this would be great. So we can show the Govt how its done. THanks for what you do.
