- Michael is a homeless man in Traverse City, Michigan. After Michael's five-year-old son had died, he lost everything and crashed into homelessness.
Michael has been sleeping outside for over ten years now. He says he finds work when he can, but finding a place to stay is hard.
Listening to Michael share his story is heartbreaking. You can feel his pain! Relationships play a significant role in the cause homelessness. When someone goes through trauma, we need to be there to provide support.

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.
When he offered him 3 wishes and he said he only need one to bring back his son. That hits different.
You know he doesn’t have greed in his heart.
My heart aches for him. God help this man
May God help him !!!
May God Bless him !!!
And that's the moment which I got some tears in my eyes.RIP.
It did 😢
His eyes....So beautiful yet with so much hurt in them
A.M Lash
I think he is very beautiful being homeless made him look the way he looks right know.
He looks like a model in the face.
I hope he will find shelter and gets a better life.
Gotthatgoin4me you would do drugs and alcohol if you lost your 5 year old child I have a 5 year old I would kill myself if it happened to me
Andre reyes People dont realize what losing a child does to a father it totally destroys them, I know I wouldnt be as strong as this guy if I lost my son hes only 16 months old I would just lay down and die.
salute andre! your the man stay positive
gotthatgoin4me have little bit of love and compassion!
I was a police officer in a small town in south ga. There was a woman that walked the street. She wasn't a prostitute. She had a drinking problem. I always gave her respect. One day, I found out the history of this woman. She was highly educated. College degreed. Found out her baby died in her younger yrs. She lost her mind. Before you jumped to conclusions of someone. Look outside the box. Because inside is a heart ❤ that may had been broken.

Beautifully said
Thank you for sharing the story.
❤️❤️❤️
@B Annoying Well that was rough and cold !!!!! .Thanks god not all the people share your opinion.
As a father of two boys, I don’t ever want to touch that kind of pain, but equally wish I could give this man a hug.
Hey brother, I've got two boys too ( and two girls), and just hearing him talk about his son, made my throat close up. I couldn't even fathom what he's gone and is going through
@PapDahl DahlPap I believe he passed away from Cancer. This poor thing just couldn't catch a break. I hope God gave him his son back and took care of this wonderful soul.
I know, that would ruin me as well. Feel his pain.
@@umahope As a father of 2 boys I don't know if I would have the energy or the Will to survive what this father is going through. This level of pain should not exist.
Tears fell from My eyes
If I had one wish, Id give this man his son back,
Same. God bless
@D C If I had one wish, it would be for you to shut up and leave.
What a waste of a wish...
@@XantroyX oh yeah, imagine having someone's dead son back, what a fucking waste it would be.
@@firecatcher91 I think Stylez meant D C's bitch ass comment.
His son would be so lucky to have such a loving father.
Don’t be disrespectful man. This guy has dealt with a lot and compassion for people is what we need.
@@seattleguy7900 Thank you for your kind words 🙏
@EL CHOLO LOCO Sorry for your pain. Sending love your way❤

Actually you would be wrong,this guy had major problems even before he lost his son. This man is a drug addict,that needs to face his problems and get cured before he can be a Father to anyone. You sound young and naive. Don't fall for a pair of sad blue eyes.
@Prince Vlad the Impaler this goes to show where you’re at in life and where you’ll end up lol . if you were in his shoes you wouldn’t be talking like that little buddy .
I wish we could help this man. He’s not homeless because he’s useless, he’s homeless because he’s broken hearted. It’s a complete tragedy.
I agree.
So very sad that this man has been lost to heartbreak with no solution
Nobody is homeless because they are useless......
@Mr. CHARLIE its quite clear you're not a parent. Take your comments elsewhere.
@skierbaz That's not how it works ... I live in Canada where tax are way higher than USA and there's plenty of Homeless ... People seem to think that money can cure everything ... that's not how it works ... that men need love but I don't know if there's enough love to fill the hole in his heart, after such a lost.
Clearly couldn’t get over losing his son. May God help him.
Yeah sure god will definitely help him 👍🏻
I have walked in his shoe... sending prayers for this beautiful father!
Don’t I could either
Poor guy passed away. Rip
@@ishtiaque7414 How do you know he died?
Never judge a man until you walk a mile in his shoes
I read 2Pac in here
Yeah he's homeless his shoes must be worn out and uncomfortable
This is absolutely true...
That way when you judge him, you're a mile away and, you have his shoes.
Victor Coleman lol, I guess after walking a mile in their shoes rather than judge you may try to help 🤔
“I only need one... I want my son back” 😭💔
That part made me cry.. 😭
@@keishamontoya8531 yup
😭
That moment in the video destroyed me. I wish I could help him and end all the suffering in the world.
I was ashamed of myself... as I felt so small, sad, helpless, and insignificant. Sorry, my brother! 😭😭😭
@@boysareboys7457 makes u wish u can time travel
I lost my only son 1266 days ago. He was 19 and just beginning to spread his wings. He was killed by an 80 year old driver who “thought he had enough time to cross the Hwy). I too have lost my mind. My heart is shattered into a million pieces. I wake every single day, wishing it were over before it even begins. You spend most of the day trying to process the pain until you fall asleep, to then wake up to the very same misery. I don’t wish this on anyone, not even my worst enemy.
I hope you see him in heaven soon
Sorry for your loss. 🤍
Jitraporn Pha thank you me too
Amanda D. Thanks so much
I'm so terribly sorry, Rick. Your comment made me tear up because I can relate to your pain... I lost my husband when I was 34 (he was 38). He was literally my world. When I lost him, I lost everything. It's been 7.5 years since he died and I still feel the way you describe you feel about your son. May God bless our loved ones. Sending you a big hug.
The pain in his eyes are crushing. Just wants his son back. Choked me up.

Don't worry, he is very happy with his son and family now =)
@@DougMarv [☆]
I would just kill myself, fuck I couldn’t handle that. This guy is already doing better than I would have
That’s what real pain looks like. People complain so much everyday, and then there’s this guy. Still going.
So true. Makes you realise just how lucky you are.
Very true
Stay strong 💪
He is not still going... This broke him inside and he could not keep doing a normally functional life anymore.. But totally agree, this is what real pain looks like.
@@nasconasconasco really, really sad. This is heartbreaking. I cant imagine how much it hurts 😭
I lost my son 6 1/2 years ago after a long illness. He was 24. I can't imagine losing a five year old. Today has been a little difficult. I dreamed about Nick last night and been thinking about him all day. Incredible that I stumbled across this video today..
My condolences to you sir..I lost BOTH my young sons..Now ive been homeless over 2 years..I pray for death now.
@@dannymccoy1783 don't wish that bruh hope u could help but...... Love you
Praise the Lord.
@@dannymccoy1783 I’m sorry for your loss my friend. But I know that God is able to restore you through Jesus Christ. I used to be depressed, and lost man. But let me tell you that God changed my whole life. I follow Christ now, and I’m not ever turning back. I hope you find God my friend. Seek Him with all your heart and you will find Him. ❤️
Thats Gods synchronicity... stay strong, rip to your boy.
As a father, looking into his eyes when he said he lost his son. I cried gosh that's difficult, God be with you brother.
Losing a child is the worst thing anyone could go through period. People need to stop judging people when you have no idea what they are going through.
Yes you are totally right
@@TakumiKhashi yikes, did you really watch this video then decide to become the grammar police? Sad.
I agree with you, but it's built into us to make split second judgements about people. And we do it not because we are assholes but for our own survival.
@Google It Yourself oh my god!! Let me go correct that right away!! You noticed how I didn't correct it right? LOL, get a life kid.

I lost my little girl to cancer. My heart felt his every word. God bless him.
God bless you, too
Im so sorry i recently lost someone i care about to cancer too....time wont heal anything....but it'll get more tolerable as time moves on..but the deep set wound is still there bleeding ever so slightly...
My condolences and stay strong my brotha ✊🏻
Cajun Viking Sami & Company I'm incredibly sorry for your loss and that society has been extremely insensitive and unrealistic. I want you to know that you do not need to do things on your own. Jesus wants you to lean on Him. He wants you to repent and trust in Him. He loves you, He is continually knocking on the door of your heart, open up to Him and He will change your life, I promise you. He is not about a religion, knowing Him is about having a relationship. Repentance and trusting in the Lord is the greatest thing we can do because Ge not only gives you peace, friendship, love, faith, happiness, joy but He gives you everlasting life. I love you and I care about where you'll spent your eternity. Today is the spray of salvation.
Jesus said "come to me all you who are weary and heavy burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. "
Be blessed 💛
Bee Kau Amen 🙏🏾💪🏾. Sorry for your loss, I send you all my support in Jesus Name from 🇫🇷. Be encouraged !!
I almost cried when he asked for just one wish.
i did cry, woops..
he is a strong soul

10 years have gone by and the man still drops to tears if asked about his son. Heartbreaking :(
THAT DOES NOT GO AWAY!!! THAT GOES TO THE LAST BREATH YOU TAKE!!! REMEMBER THAT PAL!!
It helps if you have more than one. You've list a son, but you still have kids to take care of.
@@Szarko32c I’m going through it first hand. The only thing you can try to do is be there for your other kids. Lost my youngest 10/22/20. His big sisters are 2-4 , I don’t have an option but to keep going as hard as it is. Hopefully this man finds some type of peace.
Yes because he’s still hurting it’s called heartbreak he doesn’t have closure
@@frankiethefrog1752 i am so sorry for your loss, i hope you'll have a happy life
"I lost my son, I lost everything." Hit me hard because he wasn't talking about things. He's broken inside. God this sucks.
It really hurts.
Scott, I applaud you for your sensitivity, your empathy and your understanding... it’s very rare that ordinary people who hasn’t suffered this kind of pain, really understands the language 🌺🙏
Bless you Scott. Dear Michael, I hope you find happiness again.
I lost my son 8 years ago last month. Just a young guy in college . Suddenly. It never goes away. It's the only time I died but I'm still living and haven't fallen over yet. I do know that pain. You are not alone but you will see him again
@@GS-st9ns I feel for you sweetheart 🙏🙏I’ve lost 16 years old son in 2008. The gaping wound still has a cunning way of remaining raw! Our hearts ache and our lives won’t even be the same again.... Learning to “cope” is our new norm... it’s hurts! I know it.... and your words ring so truthful to me... I’m sending you love ❤️
If you had three wishes:
"I only need one. I want my son back."
Broke me
Me to
As a father myself .. The only way i can feel his pain is that when i look at my kids, i pray to God let them bury me.. I couldnt live any other way
@Just Me how about people like this men who been killed the war that your family involved
Amen.
❤️
I had suicidal ideations and never understood why my parents felt so distraught about it. I told them I’d rather die instead of having to bury them. But my family assured me that is not the way it should ever be. My parents told me if anything were to ever happen to my siblings and I, they wouldn’t know what to do anymore. So I’ve convinced myself to get help immediately so that my family don’t feel the pain of losing a loved one... it’s tough. But I must try hard to live for them. I just question the world a lot and feel like everyone is against me. I can’t ever sleep... o well.
@@poisonivy6477 you are loved 🥰
God bless this man. lost my only son 4 years ago and came very close to ending up homeless also. The pain is beyond comprehension.
Hope you are staying strong!
I’m so sorry 😢. May God bless you with strength and purpose 🙏
God bless you and your son, Jeff. Sending you a big hug.
Sorry to hear that Jeff, I pray that you find peace, and for your son as well. God bless you.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss and Michael's loss. Life can be so cruel. Where are family members when you need them? I pray for all to have the strength to go on. Keep the faith in our Lord. He sees everything!
The wishes part broke me, such a powerful way to answer that question.
I want to hug this man, tell him it will be alright... But anyone that has ever lost anyone knows that to be a lie, nothing will ever be alright, ever again.
Whichever path you choose to woe... They are all irrelevant, and meaningless. As is everything else now.
So true... Ive lost children too and its worse than death. How i wish they were here.
@@None_of_your_business666 I am sorry to hear that. I hope somehow, you are okay.
Indeed!
I felt real pain in his heart. But would never truly know what to go through what be has would be like until it would happen to me. I pray to the Lord i never do. God bless this man and all that he does. Truly. 🙏♥️♥️♥️🙏
His eyes tell how sad he is....no parent should ever bury his child... God grant this man peace of mind.
I lost my sister in 2012 , in June 2017 my dad was crying while missing her on 2nd July 2017 he died from heart attack now I can't bear this much pain :(
@@punjabifoodie7774 I hope you're doing better now. I'm sorry for your loss. I personally believe they are in a better place now in God's arms. I'll always be here if you want to talk to anyone.
@@ΝικόλαοςΘεοδωρίδης-γ6λ I hope they are in better place now I just keep myself busy so that I don't have time to think but time heals nothing in my case
@@punjabifoodie7774 I'm very sorry to hear that. Even if I don't have the best relationship with my family I still love them and can't imagine them gone. To be honest I don't know what to tell you, I haven't been in your shoes. But what I imagine them saying is that you shouldn't allow their passing to hold you back from the rest of your life. You don't need to forget someone to make peace with their absence. People are only truly gone when they are no longer remembered. Remember your family, always keep them in your heart, the lessons they teached you they joy they gave you and walk the path of life in their honour.
@@ΝικόλαοςΘεοδωρίδης-γ6λ thankyou so much for your kind words its really very sweet of you for writing down such words , I just don't want to accept the reality that I can't talk with them I have had many health issues which always made me end up in ER , before my dad was always there holding my hand making me feel ok when I was going through such things but now it's difficult to handle everything alone , may be one day I will be strong enough to cope up with the pain :)
I hope there really is an afterlife, so he and his baby can see each other again. I really do.

Of course there is.

He passed away in 2018 of stages 4 cancer. May your soul rest in peace.
Same. I have 2 sons and one is 5.5 right now. I can literally feel this man’s pain. Puts things in perspective. We really need to live a life of gratitude.
The pain in his eyes when he talks about his son, it's absolutely heartbreaking.
The pain of losing a child is a pain no one should have to endure. His pain is palpable. God bless him and I pray he finds peace
Amen

Amen 🙏

@@rhon715 Instead of freaking interviewing him they should freaking do something about it. They took time out of his day just to talk about something he didnt want to. This is retarded
This man broke my heart. After losing his son he just gave up. I understand him. I have a 2 year old and I can't imagine wanting to do anything, work, socialize, anything at all if I lose him. I think Ill lose my mind. And that's probably what happened to this man.
very sorry to hear that but i wish u happiness
LandofJadeNRocco Journals and Planners This guy is full of shit!!! He probably never had a son!!! He can't even remember what year it is, he's another a lying drug addict!!! There's no way a death in the family could make you lose everything, if so over half of the world would be homeless!!!
I feel exactly the same about my Cat
The Angry General you’re cruel and I think you don’t know what your talking about .
the general HAS a point we do not know for sure about this man if what he says is true then yes it is very very sad , but DRINK AND DRUGS are always part of the situation , ALWAYS, it is there in the background in most of these homeless cases , not nice being homeless but look at all the animals in the world?
If you setup a go-fundme for this man i will happily donate $100. This is heartbreaking. Lets help this poor man get his life back together.
In April 2018 he was dying of cancer. He lost another son as well. I don't know what's happened to him. He may have left this world, but he could still be here.
no point. no amount of money will help him. he looks like a solid, no-bs guy and he's still homeless after 10 years? got a family? his life, the very meaning of life, is gone. he's just waiting to die now (if he's still alive). that's my take on it anyway. i may be wrong, but those eyes speak "end me" quite clearly to me.
@@buckplug2423 the last video of him, he had terminal cancer so he might have died as that was in 2018.
I don't think its grief that put him in that place. I think it's guilt. I suspect he is punishing himself.
out of all your videos this one hurt me the most
same :(
same here, i'm actually crying right now :-(
I busted into tears with him :/
I thought so too... Until I watched his second video.
Also the video where the elderly lady had her dog kicked to death. That was truly harrowing because the puppy was everything to her. If someone hurt my dog I would not be able to control myself. Being cruel to animals who cannot defend themselves is the lowest any human can stoop to.
He's totally broken inside, 10 years later
I lost my daughter this month 30 yrs ago the pain never goes away I learned to not more let it eat me up this man has not been able to and it will destroy him if he not can put an stop to it I know I tried taking my life and only because of my oldest daughter I be still here and put the pieces back it takes a lot I hope god gives him some kind of piece
I feel for him. He has cancer as well I heard, hope he is able to beat it.♥️
@@Annarocks1969 well, this might be heartbreaking... But by now he's probably up there. In his last interview he said he has maybe 1 more year to live, probably less, and it's been two years so yeah... It may be crushing but it is the truth

I lost my son when he was 12 years old. If you haven’t experienced losing a son or daughter than you couldn’t comprehend the hurt it puts on you. 9 years ago and even thinking about it brings tears to the eyes and I’m not one to express emotions. If you have kids , hold them close because you never know when it’s time to part ways!
He passed away in 2018 of stages 4 cancer. May your soul rest in peace.
Nothing can be more painful than a father losing his son. The sorrow in his eyes was heartbreaking.
Same thing with some mothers... The bond between some mamas and their sons are super strong! Loss of a child overall, whether sons are daughter, is overwhelmingly painful. The only difference I’m aware of, is that it’s much easier for us women to “open up” about our pain! When it comes on to a father, he may feel obligated to show strength, instead of his pain. Therefore it can be extremely painful when the pain is there trapped on the inside, brewing.... I’m sending love to anyone who’s lost a child 💕💙🙏🦋
I can vouch. September 3rd 2016 my 8 yr old son passed after a swing tipped and fell on him. Every day is a battle mentally and physically. If not for my family I’d be on the street. Drink a lot, but slowing down. Work from paycheck to paycheck and live at my parents. But I’m trying. I wish I could meet this guy and hug him. Worst lot in life ever, living without your kids. Keep your head up brother
@@justinphillips1197 Hello Justin, my heart hurts for you.... I’m so sorry, I don’t even have words. I’m a grieving parent myself. If I say there are no words, believe me, there are no words 😢.
Lost my son too. He was 16 years old. But it’s 12 years ago, so my head is just a little bit more calmer. The pain has nowhere going, so I just have to live with it.
Please remember love never dies... continue loving your son... 💙🌺❤️
I know your life will never be the same, just like mine ...

That's the shortest interview that's ever caused me to burst into tears.
For real... I was hoping not to cry too much and did well until the last few moments. WOW
Yes same here.
It's like you can look right into his soul, through those piercing blue eyes. The pain, sorrow and loss just jumps right out at you. This just cut right through my heart. God bless
Same here...couldn't even think about loosing my little angle.

Oh the hurt in his eyes. Every parent on earth fears what this man is living.
So true.
Biggest fear in my life

@Edmond shut up, you dumb child
@Edmond your name is Edmond what the hell do you know about being a man
When I was a cop there was a tweaker that we dealt with a lot that we nick named Richard Ramirez, cause he looked like the infamous serial killer. I always thought he was just a pain in the ass until one night I met his brother in law. I learned that at one time he was a successful business and family man who lost his son and wife in a car accident while he was driving. The brother in law (Her brother) tried to help him but the loss was too much and sent him over the edge. Talk about feeling like an asshole. I apologized to him and always made it a point to never judge anyone after that. He died a few years later. I’d like to think that he finally found peace. You never know what struggles people are going through in their lives. Good channel, keep up the good work! 🙏🏼
no one does heroin or meth or other hard drugs and gets severely addicted unless there's something that sparked it. I'm glad you were able to have compassion on him.
Thanks.
Everybody has a story, problem is we don't always listen.
sennadasilva11 That’s an ignorant way of thinking. There are bad people in every walk of life. Most are just normal people trying to provide for their family.
sennadasilva11 That’s false, that’s just your perception. Until you’ve done that job, or any job, don’t try to comment on what they do. I’ve never tried framing, I would never criticize a carpenters work.
I understand what it like to lose a child. Lost my only child 13 years ago and stopped working because I was in so much grief.
Now I'm fighting to get on with my life. Hard to do and I have a little place.
Hi Sami, I lost a daughter and mentally I broke down because I couldn’t find answers, life brings thing you just shouldn’t have to deal with, my wife has never really opened up so god knows how she feels.
@Sami & Company. Keep a good memory of your dear child in your heart. Your lovely child want you to be strong and courageous. Do not lose faith in God and humanity. Read the Bible. God is a good God.
One learns to live with it.... Takes time to move on... But, in my case, I got many little signs that he was fine and happy where he is... A white pigeon used to come and sit on my balcony 🕊️ several times I would be overwhelmed...🕊️🕊️🕊️and just look at me sometimes 30.minutes , sometime 6 hours...until I realized it was a sign of the peace he was in and eventually that peace came I to me and I could finally move on.... With it, but no longer overcomed with the sorrow🕊️ 😥💔🙏🏼✝️let the peace be with you 🕊️🙏✝️

Litivious Spartus society has been extremely insensitive and unrealistic. I want you to know that you do not need to do things on your own. Jesus wants you to lean on Him. He wants you to repent and trust in Him. He loves you, He is continually knocking on the door of your heart, open up to Him and He will change your life, I promise you. He is not about a religion, knowing Him is about having a relationship. Repentance and trusting in the Lord is the greatest thing we can do because Ge not only gives you peace, friendship, love, faith, happiness, joy but He gives you everlasting life. I love you and I care about where you'll spent your eternity. Today is the spray of salvation.
Jesus said "come to me all you who are weary and heavy burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. "
Be blessed 💛
But they did, actually.
You forget, eventually. The only variable is when you stop clinging on the pain. If you let it go sooner, you heal sooner. Otherwise, the pain can last a lot, there is no limit to this 'time'.
That’s what a broken soul looks like, my heart breaks for this man😰
"I only need one" I'm without words.
Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.

Poor guy, heavenly father guide this man on his journey. Give him peace and keep only the cherished thoughts of his son alive in his heart.
Amen

@@stevecroft3973 eyes can't see when the mind is blind, take that saying light heartedly bud. Having a faith in somthing bigger then yourself gives you an optimistic hope for tomorrow. somtimes it keeps the right foot infront of the left.
Never forgot this interview, when he said he wants his son back it forever ingrained it in my memory. Thank you for bringing his story to light
This pisses me off more than anything, seeing good decent people living on the streets, you really never know what someone is going through. This has to be tremendously hard, I really can't even fathom the pain in this man's heart.
I have my son beside me right now healthy and all and I still teared up... can't imagine how HE feels.
@@Angry.General1461 Have you ever considered that maybe they drink and do drugs BECAUSE, they are homeless? Now, I'm not saying many homeless people don't do this, but to assume that they're all crooks looking for the next high is wrong. Many of them are just good people dealt a bad hand, stop being so insensitive to the lives of others.
@@burdy2959 There you go feeling bad for this liar...... You seriously don't understand people like this or what it's like to put up with them!!! Stop looking at him like he's an innocent angel!!!
@@Angry.General1461 I see what you mean, and it's very possible he's lying. However, I never treated him as some saint, I was just making a general statement about homeless people. I honestly don't know what to tell you though, as you sound like such a scumbag. Not saying you're wrong, but based on what you've said so far, I'm guessing you're the sort of person who supports making life worse for homeless people ten times worse, just because you don't feel like having to deal with their reality, which mind you, could become yours. So, maybe stop being such a lil bitch and have a heart.
@@burdy2959 I don't feel sorry for these lazy bums let them suffer! They are a bunch of lazy drug addicts and alcoholics disowned by family and friends. They think money and jobs are supposed to come to them! They will make up fake stories of their lives trying to get you to feel sorry for them! They will take their lies to the grave! I bet you he doesn't have kids! They blame everybody but themselves for their lifestyle! You seriously want to get rid of the homeless? Load them all on a ship and drop them off on a remote island! They'll probably kill each other in their withdrawals and end up turning into cannibals eating off of each other's dead bodies!
Poor man... Homelessness can happen to ANYONE. One big tragedy in life and that's it. My heart goes out to him.
fuck your heart... send him your money... but you won't, because you don't have a "heart"
SixOfNine if I met homeless person I give money plus maybe they need a kind word from us

Hiccum Blurpaedius can't I express an opinion without being threatened?
Hiccum Blurpaedius there's extreme rage and anger in your words,perhaps you were molested as a child?
His eyes are endless wells of relentless pain. He is tethered forever to a child who is gone. His suffering is so intense to observe. I wish him rest and I hope he finds life again someday.
Thank you for saying that. I really hope so too.

This one made me tear up. You will see your son again. I pray your pain subsides.
Marley Euliano Wow this is a very touching comment. Yes it's true he will see his son again.
How so ?
he will definitely see his son again. Nothing is lost or forgotten in the universe for everything is within Cosmic Mind (Brahman).
Death is final for only the living.
Ray D-V . How do you know that
I just felt like crying all through this. As a father of a 6yo boy I can totally understand never being able to get over this pain. God forgive me for ever complaining about anything in life. I have it infinitely better. Wish I could console this man. God Bless him.
My ex left with my kid but I still get to see her everyweek. When ever life hits me hard with bills, car repairs, rude Co-workers ,health problems , I always think about situations such as the man in the video. I begin to smile a little...atleast I still have my kid. It's funny how children can hold your mind and soul hostage.

I would have given that man a hug after he said he only needed one wish!😥🙏
I know exactly how he feels. I lost my only child also a son at the age of 27, four years ago. Since he left all I see is darkness and the pain is so intense that it feels as if I cannot breathe. When you suffer such a loss there is no such thing as moving on. My heart goes out to him.
I’m so So sorry 😢😢😢
My heart goes out to both of you. I don't have any children so I don't know what it's like to lose one. I have lost a lot of family and friends. I hope at some point your pain lessens and you get a little bit more light back into your life.

@A D i am really sorry you believe that. There is really no point in living and in life itself if there is nothing after phisical death. Actually your idea may be true for the hell theory. WE either continue to live in heven or perish, end of journey, nothingness in "hell".
@@stancusilviu159 that's true. If there isn't an after life then there is no reason for anyone to exist to begin with

He must have gone crazy with grief. I bet he doesn't even remember how he ended up homeless and estranged from the boy's mother.
yes totally..he seems like a very a good man and loved his son more than anything in life and here we are ripping the covid relief fund when these are people who actually need it
Why didnt you just say wife?

Being homeless is not so heartbreaking but loosing your son really is. Just want to hug that man.
@reena mola :(
😢💔🙏👨👦💞
Being homeless is heartbreaking , people end up there when everything breaks
As soon as he said "I only need one" I was gone 😢
When u think you're having a bad day....
I was just thinking that
Count your blessings 👍🏼
There is no bad day after what he said
👍🏽
A real eye opener.
If I lost a child I would never be the same.....a part of me would die inside.
So sorry for the loss of your child! My heart goes out to you!
That is exactly what a broken heart looks like.... so so sad....😥
He lost the one thing he cared about that was his everything. God bless this amazing and beautiful man. ❤️🙏
His eyes say it all. He's lost the will to live and the motivation to continue.
He’s still grieving for his son. He needs support.
Not only his son back and home and money, just his son. I brings tears to my eyes
Ten years of never ending pain, poor man, I feel so sorry for him.
I can only imagine losing everything is nothing compared to losing his 5-years old son. God bless him
@iLuvYourWife No you're right
“I want my son back” mannnn I’m hurt for him.
Im 24, brazilian, and ALMOST lost my son while taking a shower... hes 3 and a half. Man... watching this made me cry. It was 1 week ago and I just cant stop imaginating that, just cant... he stills with me, healthy and happy, but I cry every fu***** day.
If you had three wishes what would they be ??
Homeless: “ I only need 1, I want my son back “ 🥺💔
I find myself tearing up watching this video. If only there was some kind of help he could have received early on in his loss, but sadly I think some things are just too hard to bear. I wish him the best.
I new the answer before he said it. The hurt in this man is so deep. No father should ever have to bury his son. Ive always told my kids to never judge a homeless person you don't know their story.
Omg, when he said he only needs one wish to have his son back knowing that wish can't be given to him, my heart stopped for a second. Reality sets in for him every second that his boy is gone. I wish I could give him a hug. 😔💔
Heart breaking god bless you 🙏
it broke my heart 🥺 how i wish i can hug this guy ❤️
As a Father, I just can't imagine the pain.
wow, he would give anything to have his son back, when there’s men out there giving up on their child 😭
and women aborting. Shame.
@@alantinoalantonio there are multiple reasons why women choose abortion. "abortion is cool" is not one of them.
@Trumptard Jr Aka Your Mama's Boo Because that would incentivize single motherhood. That's shoving just another problem under the rug because resposibility is an inconvenience, just like we are doing with abortions. It's never woman's responsibility. It's always somene else who has to pay. The problems are always solved in the root - and that's asking questions like: "Why are they single in the first place?" Reduce sexual immorality, and you'll reduce single motherhood. Don't blame Republicans because some women want to try every dick in the neighbourhood.
@Trumptard Jr Aka Your Mama's Boo You get more of whatever you incentivize. Giving more money to single moms will make more single moms. Better to give them nothing, force them to give up the children and make better life choices. THen very, very few women will have children they cant support on their own or with their partner. Theyll try harder to make their relationships work. The world is better off for it.
10% of couples are infertile so its really useful to keep the number of out of wedlock/unsupportable children down to a number theyre willing to adopt.
@Trumptard Jr Aka Your Mama's Boo then theres dems and rep who are friends who say fk the peasants they can have crumbs. You being played by the establishment. Btw the dems hold both chambers and including the presidency and like what are you talking about? Sound like a damn fool.
As a father of 4 boys I would be lost too... He needs a hug and a good friend.....
This was heartbreaking. Our son is 5 and a half and the thought of losing him brings me to tears. If people truly want to help they should offer him some love in action and a bed. We have a homeless person staying now who was spending winter in his car. He does whatever he can to help out and we have him as a part of our family. It is not because we are special, it was simply that we saw someone trying their hardest who simply needed a helping hand. Bless this man. May he find some peace in this life still.

No one asked for your input. How incredibly rude of you to say such a thing.
@@SpathiTS dude you are so dumb I can't even put on a scale.
@@claudiubabusca4810 Nice coherent sentence, the man in question is living a fucking nightmare and you dare use him as some form of example of your "ideal man." Yes he's a real man, but it's not about being fucking tough, how could you expect anyone to be "tough" after losing their fucking child. You wanna call me dumb? Sure I'll accept that I guess. You're having trouble putting it on the scale? Let's start with you, you'll be our fucking bench mark, the prime example. Take your toxic masculinity somewhere else.
Why people equate being a "real man" to bearing tragedy with a hardened disposition I'll never truly understand. It suggests that if he were to break down and cry you wouldn't consider him a real man. That despite his position, you're proud he didn't show anymore vulnerability as a male. You don't care about what he went through, you care he upheld your image of hegemonic masculinity.
everyone has different interpretation and points of view, I know that you were merely saying something like being scruffy and enduring emotional pain but still being able to show vulnerability and authenticity, unlike others who get tough but rude.
Im sorry man it’s very shame of the country who didn’t take care to find out how to help people like you really sorry
This is heartbreaking. My deepest condolences. I do wonder how he lost his son. He clearly meant the world to him.
It doesn't matter-He lost Him and it destroyed Him--what kind of hearless family does He have that they don't help Him?Only in America
SCAN IMAL only in america do we let fools like you run your mouth. you judged his family as heartless and wouldn't help, but you really don't know about that . . . his missing teeth say HEROIN. no amount of family love can overcome that. disclaimer: i lost both of my sons. i also spend mondays feeding homeless folks for the past 13 years.
