❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
My biggest fear, homelessness 🙏 I don't want you to be homeless 😢 you're a good kid & a hard worker 🙏🤗
Thank you 🙏 🙏
Matt Walsh needs to watch this. This young man is not lazy or a drug addict, he looks healthy and determined to get his life back to normal. Best of luck Tyler, everyone deserves a home. Only someone that's never been homeless will talk the shit he does
Hey there. I’m not sure who Matt Walsh is. However, I really appreciate the kind words! 🙏 💜
Hang in there, you are coping better than a lot of people twice your age would.
I was homeless for 4 years back when I was 18-22. I’m 27 now, almost 28, and honestly everyday the fear of it happening again haunts me so bad that leaving my apartment triggers panic attacks and sometimes I just wish I’d be homeless again solely so I could stop fearing it happening again. You are far from a loser so I hope you never believe your father or anyone else that ever says that to you. I think your attitude and the way you’re handling the situation is far better than most people (including me) have handled it. I really really wish you luck. I’m hoping sometime in the future I can just do longterm camping if I could get myself a little camper van or a nice sturdy tent since rent is too expensive.
Hey there. I’m sorry to hear about what you’re going through. I have suffered from panic attacks since I was 5. What has helped me is eating healthy, exercising, and being mindful in my days. All we can do is live one day at a time. I hope you can get a van in the near future. I agree rent is too expensive nowadays. Blessings to you. 🙏
Thank you for sharing. Homeless since 2006. Loving it.
People are horrible with nasty comments. I feel for you. You had it tough being on your own since 16. Very difficult to make things happen without parents help/love. There are jobs out there but they don't pay well. I remember in the 90's you could get a decent paying job and live the so-called "American Dream" that is not the case in 2023. Keep fighting!
Everyone please DONATE! Together we can make a difference in this one person’s life! ….. Tyler you’re just such a wonderful soul and I pray for you daily. Waking up to seeing you means everything! I work in a hospital and they often need people to transport patients or to run labs or work in the kitchen or warehouse. So many jobs available for just general workers and you get benefits from day one. Try hospitals - just ask.
Thank you Gayle! Means a lot. 💜
I did already.
Love this guy!
Made it to the 2 min mark and realized this wind bag hasnt even started to explain why hes homeless lol. Noped Out.
great
wow, you like dionne warwick?! cool. thanks for being so open and i wish you the best.
Your ex said...Man up 😮
Your're living in a van in America....every day in the survival mode.
You have guts dude...for sure.
My compliments!
Hey there. 👋 My father told me to man up when I told him I am facing homelessness.
Hi Tyler , first off congratulations on making the negotiations work for a balance due on your van. Your doing great , I love the goal setting your doing . I’ve moved into my van now and am “figuring it out” . You have an amazing story to tell 💫
Thank you 🙏 Enjoy your van. 😀
❤your such a warm hearted person as I feel you speaking' yes our LIFE can be worst nor good BUT as yourself ONLY yourself knows what is best thing out their you and you.
Someday Tyler you will be looking back and the MEMORIES MOMENT for it all.
STAY SAFE and WISHING from my heart that WE BOTH stays being humble us on whether on no matter.
Love ❤️ from IOWA.
Thank you and very well said! Blessings to you! 💜
Breaks my heart
No one should be homeless. Found your channel today and I’m subbed now. ❤
I agree! Thank you for being here! 🙏
Hope it improves homie
I'm sorry you had to learn this lesson about Title loans, you are right they should be illegal. You would also think that with all the money being spent on the homeless benefits would not be so hard to come by. Unfortunately that is not the case. Good to hear you were able to get the final number on your loan down and I hope you can put that behind you. Keep fighting and filling your mind with positive lessons. It really helps. I have been in your shoes and you can make it out.
Thank you 🙏 I hope that things change in our country in relation to resources being available for those in need.
I think part of the problem is that kids at 18 feel pressured to get out on their own before they are ready. In other countries multi generational living is what’s done but in our county it’s seen as shameful. I think more people lived with there families we wouldn’t see the homes less problem. The young and elderly are the ones most effected. It’s sad! Families should uplift each other.
Much agreed that families should uplift each other! 🙌 🙌
@jenettejackson991 What an amazing comment, I totally agree!
I’ve always disagreed with this thought up until recently. Now I understand it and agree. Kids don’t ask to be born, therefore parents need to do everything in their power to prepare them for life, even in adulthood. Because I think so many parents have honestly failed their children and that’s why so many people leave as early as they can. For example, some parents threaten to kick you out for the dumbest reasons. Or some will think they have a right to disrespect you since you live in their house.
The kids there are sent away to college to live though, so they're basically out on their own at 18 anyway. How many of them come back to live at home when they're finished?
@@chucky6367 Not always . Some kids have to pay for their college and are just put out at 18. I haven’t lived at home since 13.5 . So I guess different for everyone. College supported by your parents isn’t the same thing that I am talking about.
You're 100% correct on views on homeless. A lot of it is economic factors. Keep on trucking Tyler. You're really doing well.
Thank you John! 🙏
Praying for you always! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you Julie! 💜 💜 💜
Tyler, you are such a kind spirit. You are not alone! Take care....Much prayer for the funds....
Thank you 🙏 🙏
I'm a straight male and I follow you. People say gay men have it easy and I enjoy hearing your view of the world
Thank you 🙏
Hi Tyler, Happy Monday! Im so grateful for how far you've come and your determined spirit. Have you considered doing an expose video detailing the actual impact of the loan itself for anyone ever feeling the need to get one. If people realized that it really is a legal loan shark and there is no way to recover from it without outside help, it would maybe slow people down from becoming their next victim. I think the video would gain a lot of traction! Please consider it.
Hey there. 👋 Yes I will definitely be doing a video like that soon. I want to share about how costly the loans can be and hopefully that will help people avoid predatory lending.
You are a wonderful human been....❤
Hi Tyler, I'm sooo glad to hear about your success in persuading the loan company to work with you, and good luck with your job search. If things continue go left for you in the future, please consider speaking with a bankruptcy attorney. At least, it will protect your van from repossession. Since the eviction will probably effect your credit for several years, what will be the difference with not being able to have credit extended to you due to banruptcy for the same amount of time? This way, you can work with the peace of mind of not facing homelessness. Best of luck to you!
Thank you 🙏
Hi Tyler … I don’t know where you’re located at this time but do you have a Trader Joe’s or Costco near you? If not, possibly you can locate close to either one and get a nice job. Both companies are excellent companies to work for and grow with. Praying you’ll hit your goal this week! I’m sending though Venmo … it’s quicker for me to get the money to you. 😊
Hey there! 👋 I actually applied to Trader Joe’s last week. I’m hoping to get a interview this week. 🙌 Thank you very much for your donation. I’ll keep you posted. 🙏
One more thing. I just read your Gofundme appeal and I think it's crucial that you find someone with automotive knowledge to help you buy your next van. It will take more than lower mileage to get a better engine. Yeah, those little roadside car lots can be brutal. You stand a much lower chance of being cheated if you bring someone who can ask all the right questions and who knows what he's (or she's) looking at under the hood! 💖
I realize this post is 4 months old, but I needed to tell you how sorry I am that you receive mean comments. You're right, though...hurt people, hurt people 😢 It's sad, but it's hard for me to feel sorry for those who leave nasty comments. You sound like a wonderful, kind, intelligent man. I'm sorry you are going through this difficult time, but your strength is inspiring. God bless you, friend!❤
Stay strong and ignore the people who are mean. They are missing love in their lives.
I hope my subscription helps you out. Hang in there man.
Yes definitely! Thank you! 🙏
Hi Tyler, once in awhile .99 cent store aka 1.29 has name brand toothpaste for 1.29 and organic vegetables. The library sells books for .25 cents, even hard back! I will be glad when you get another job, when working 55 hours a week doesn't even afford you living in a car it's way time for a change! Seems Uber has changed 🤔. I enjoy and appreciate your quotes. Please keep us posted on job interview this week, even if it's a short! Thank you! 💜🙏🤞
Thank you. I’ll definitely keep you updated. Stay tuned. 😀
God bless, the best advice I can give is seek the kingdom of God through Jesus Christ ! He won't steer you wrong. Take care
Great video. New subscriber. I have been living in my Toyota Prius for 8 years and looking for new faces to follow
Don't give up... were all trying to help... dont be afraid to ask for help on every video if you need to 😊
Thank you Tiana! 💜 I wasn’t build to break! I’m moving forward a little bit each day. 🙌
Hey Taylor, good to hear that you’ve made a settlement with your lawn company, you may want to do a little bit more digging regarding proof of income for getting a loan on a new vehicle. Try an actual dealer not a used car lot because here in the US tons of people that are doing food or product delivery get loans on brand new vehicles.
Hey there, 👋 I’m going try and keep this van for a bit longer and save to buy another one with cash. But that’s a good idea! How are you doing??
There will be a silver lining. Pray because I will for you and FAITH ; keep your faith. ❣️
My grandson is payin rent to his parents, I gave him a small travel trailer if there is a argument at home. So ya, us grandparents can help..
That was very nice of you to do that for your grandson. 🙌
No matter what you're going through, nobody is worthless. Those title loans should be criminal. Good luck with your GoFundMe.
If poop hits the fan please check in to a shelter God is with you every set of the way. I wish I could hug you though the screen but, that would be really high on the creep meter 😆🥰 I’ll keep you in my prayers. ❤
Thank you! 🙏 🤗 🤗
New subscriber here
This will def make you stronger
I’m about to start van life by choice
You will def be ok
Congrats on your new journey! Thank you for subscribing! 🙏
@@MyNomadicStoryYour welcome
We dont think youre lazy... we see you doing you tube... you work
Thank you. 🙏 🙏 🙏
56 hours is a lot! People don’t talk about working for yourself much but it’s really easy! For example someone wanted to open a trash bin cleaning business! These new neighborhoods all have trash bins and most of them stink! All you need is a pressure washer and the cleaner! Slap a llc on it and you are opened up to 30,000 pages of tax deductions! Most start up costs are tax deductible and your vehicle expenses if used primarily for business! 😉 You charge 30 dollars a trash bin doing 5 a day at least, that’s 150 a day you do 10 that’s 300 a day! Doing 5 a day 5 days a week is 750 dollars doing 10 a day 5 days a week is 1500 dollars a week! Each trash bin would only take 20 mins to clean! You work less and you make your own rules! Beat the system don’t let it beat you! Im not a bot just wanted to give you some information that people don’t really share once they figure it out for themselves! Sending many positive thoughts your way! You got this! ❤❤❤
I saw a trash bin cleaning service on the news a while back. That’s a really cool idea and I have my own ideas for future entrepreneurial endeavors. However, I have to get past my present situation first as it consumes a lot of my energy to just survive financially right now. Thank you for the ideas and encouragement! 😁
What I've learned is that most homeless have suffered great trauma, sexual at a young age is not uncommon. Of course there's other forms too. Some are our beloved military who suffered trauma at war. Agent orange it seems was a poison used on our soldiers causing various cancers and neurological damage.
We must be a people of understanding n compassion. Not judgemental & hateful with a bitter spirit. 💔🙏
Very true that often homeless have experienced trauma early on in their lives and much agreed about being people of compassion and understanding. 💜
Is there no one you can find to split a rent with??? It would have to be a dependable person.
Do you still have your van?
Tyler, it might be better for your mental health if you don't contact your dad for awhile. He's apparently not able to give you any moral support, or even kind words, so just let that relationship rest for now. It uses up energy that you could use on more urgent survival things. You've done a great job getting your van repairs financed - that stuff is SO stressful! A few pointers from a grandma with no extra money, ever: buy everything as cheaply as possible (the $1 toothpaste will have to do); for two weeks, don't buy ANYTHING that's not crucial to your survival - no new books, how about the library? No "treat" foods or fancy coffees! Deprive yourself of luxuries that might make you feel good, but would not help you in the long run.
The point of this is that you will be amazed by how much money you can set aside! I have to do this for a week or two every month and it really helps me survive. I so wish I could donate some money, because you deserve it, but I'm not able to. That's one of the worst parts of my own situation, because when I was a young working person I always loved sending donations to various causes. Take care, honey.😊💖🐕
Saves gives free food have you applied forvfood stamps
99 cent store and Dollar Tree

They do and I have purchased tooth paste there before. I prefer to use fluoride free tooth when I can.

Hi Tyler,do you have a post office box?
Hi there. I don’t unfortunately.
The haters have serious mental issues.
Find Orthodoxy ☦
I'd like to know where you live now? What state are you in?
For safety reasons I don’t share my location. I hope you can understand.
@@MyNomadicStory I can understand that. I was wondering what kind of work you were looking for. There is a chip factory in Minnesota called shears. It also has a branch in pennsylvania. Maybe you could try putting an AP in there if you are willing to relocate. They pay pretty good to start out. You never know.
@@kayrigetta9462 Thank you. Do you know what the starting rate is? I have a interview for a job this week. Being in the van I need to stay near warmer weather on the winter. However, if the job paid enough to get an apartment I would consider it.
@@MyNomadicStory I'm not sure but I know they starting a few years ago was about 15 dollars an hour. So now it could be more. Not sure what the start would be in Minnesota. You would have to check that.
And I understand about the weather. I'm disabled and live in my van. I hope to start heading more south by the end of october
can you move back to your parents house?
Hope everything works out with your job
Thank you. 🙏
If you have your high school diploma, then join the military. You will get free meals, housing, education, job skills and not be homeless.
