FINALLY! I’ve been looking for Richard every day this week. (photo posted in the community section) His video went virtual. People have been bringing him money and food. I hate that he’s still sleeping outside, especially in the NYC cold and wet. Richard told me a friend will let him stay for the holiday. That’s awesome, but we must fix housing and homeless services to get everyone inside. Richard shared with me his Cash App $rparry976
I work here @ the hospital in Miami,FL. But I currently plan a visit to NYC about every 6 months (mainly October). I come across alot of warm hearted people that could really touch your heart and appreciate the reality that they seem is a impossible fantasy. I’ve seen all the sites I’ve seen all the tourist attractions but one thing that always draws me back is the people. I sent this man money as well and shared his cash app with some people in my hospital. God bless this man and may the people of NYC continue to have kind hearts and help him it takes a village.
I tried to send something but I found an App with a white $ sign and a green background. But it appears not available in my country. I'm from Ecuador. Maybe Richard has ID? Is it easier for me to send him a Western Union or Money Gram shipment. :) I just need his name as it is on his ID and his ID number and the city where he is going to make the withdrawal.
Guy’s wife dies and the hospital comes after him for $85k, what kind of nightmare of a society have we created? Now he’s homeless because of it. We have to stop doing this to people
i heard him say he turned down 95 dollars from services, and walked away. Some of us could buy groceries for a week on that, sounds like he doesn't need the money after all. Then I got madder hearing him turn up his nose at food stamps, complaining that he doesn't want to live off sandwiches every day. He isn't starving or he would NEVER say that. I've gone hungry and lived off gas station food, no hot meals -- he is obviously not starving except by choice. How insulting.
I went through exactly what he did. My husband passed after battling cancer . I would be homeless if it wasn't for my son in-law and daughter. Spent three years paying off the medical bills. I wish I could help him. I'm going to pray for him. He seems like a good soul.
What I don't understand is two things first people that owe a l lot of money on medical bills or homes should file bankruptcies because of trump and his family can do it so many times I figured these people can ,since the trump family has so much money and properties and could keep everything and supposedly when filling bankruptcy you have to give up your property or you can keep it and just pay money on the properties you want to keep , because my ex husband did it a few times also, but if president Biden can make sure that these illegal imagrints can come to this country get a place to live in these nice 700.00 $ hotel a cell phone medical food the people that have lived here for decades or in the military they should get the help first I'm am so disappointed in our presidents and government for not doing this plus they also made sure that Ukraine was taking care of and other countries that's fine but our people should also be helpt
Grief can ruin a person. When my mom died, I broke down and came very close to losing it all. Bless you Richard, I pray someone out there can give you the chance you need.
Im imagine all tghe millionaires walking pasty him, i really dont no how the rich who dont help homeless ppl even live wit them selves i truly dont bc if i was super rich thats all i would be doing is giving homeless ppl money n food n helping them get a place to live ..
Grief is such a painful experience, and to lose everything else along with your loved one has to be a horrifying experience. Bless this man, I pray for his strength and his future.
@@natashaletourneau5368 It's exactly the same in the UK. We have a huge problem with homelessness and it's rapdily increased these past 5- 6 years. Like Richard said in the video, there's very little support out there despite what the govt leads people to believe. As for welfare, it's ridiculous the amount of hoops that they make claimants go through for a shitty pittance. I know several people that told the dwp to forget it as it's not worth the hastle of the stress of it all. The system is a trap and once you're in it, you struggle to get out of the loop. The govt also set up these stupid organisations were the unemployed have to go see someone every touch and turn to go over the same crap that they discussed the week before. They don't help people and there's a lot of money to be made by the spivs that set up these govt funded organisations. Also, despite it appearing that there are plenty of job opportunites out there, what's really going on is that different platforms like cv library, indeed etc are being used by companies and employment agencies to advertise for free. People are applying for jobs that often don't exist. The unemployment situation has got worse since 2020 with everything that's currently going on in the world. The govt would have people working in work houses if they could have their way. it's such a stressful, cruel and evil world out there and people shouldnt have to live like they do.
@@natashaletourneau5368 I'm in the same situation I'm in Brooklyn I want to go to Manhattan but I'm sort of stuck cause I don't have money or income. I did apply for Cash assistance but I don't know how that works
Jeremiah 5:21chapter context similar meaning copy save Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: Isaiah 43:8chapter context similar meaning copy save Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. Isaiah 35:5chapter context similar meaning copy save Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Sadly, whosoever are not willing to advice others humans to seek out GOD and to cry out to GOD, haven`t given real, valued help. Let me share you a mystery - a life changing mystery about this place we call: EARTH: We share it with another offspring, who pretending to be us, but are not even close to being us. BIBLICALLY: THE TARES Matthew 13:30chapter context similar meaning copy save Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. We share earth with another offspring, the hybrid creatures, BIBLE CLEARLY TALKS ABOUT AND WARNS ABOUT. Dear soul, dare to read and study the only book, which shall give you all needful answers. THE BIBLE (KJV). Matthew 13:25chapter context similar meaning copy save But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. Matthew 13:26chapter context similar meaning copy save But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. Matthew 13:29chapter context similar meaning copy save But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Matthew 13:40chapter context similar meaning copy save As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. And to all, who state that BIBLE and GOD IS NOT NEEDED, let me ask a question: How the hell can you be sure, that whosoever you`r dealing with is human being and not just trying to look like one? (yes, it is 100% logical question to ask, and if soul has truly read and studied the bible, then answer is not hard to give). The answer to the question is: YES BOTH ARE NEEDED 100%. Mark 8:18chapter context similar meaning copy save Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? ????? - so you aint seeing that more and more people become therapist , bringing forth new problems, that should not even exist? Now why is that? Man aka human being trying to help another human, ain+t making things worse? How long are we conna deny, what we, as mankind are busy doing and letting to be done? Please notice my wording: not as individuals, but as mankind, the whole living population of humans, and may i shock you again? Humans are far less in numbers then 7 + billion. We are far less. I leave you in peace with all that i said. Re - read all my comments ( IF NEEDED) to finally get what i truly told. Peace. Psalms 115:5chapter context similar meaning copy save They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: Psalms 135:16chapter context similar meaning copy save They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; Luke 10:23chapter context similar meaning copy save And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: Isaiah 32:3chapter context similar meaning copy save And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken. Isaiah 44:18chapter context similar meaning copy save They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand. The tares are: among the police, among the doctors, among the politics, among the family three, among the singers, actors, among the regular population.

You can see the pain he has inside of him That society rejects him and he’s not a bad man … he didn’t steal or so drugs anymore … but it doesn’t matter … we as a society reject him when we should be giving him a little boost up I hope he’s alright
Eyes are the window to the soul that's why those serial killer with the low lifeless eyes are dangerous something is wrong you can just tell by looking
@Random Pixel i am from europe Portugal in specific so don't just assume stuff that you don't know, and you find quite a lot a drug addicts on the street in the big cities Porto,Lisbon,Coimbra etc but they go somewhere isolated to consume
This is so sad. I can see the hurt on his eyes. He had to quit his job to take care of her. Here I am in my warm home. Praying that this man and others will be able to have a job and a safe place to live. He wants to work.
Not to be mean but he did meth ..or still is doing something..he needs professional help but I guess there isn't any... why he did not claim bankruptcy?...after receiving that bill...? He does seem like a sweet guy hope he can get better soon !

@@belarte7063 It appears that he's still using drugs. God, so sad what drugs do to people. He admitted that he makes $95.00 a day panhandling. The first step for him would be to get off the drugs. File bankruptcy. Get cleaned up and get a job. Find a place to stash his belongings. Go to the gym to shower and shave. Step by step, one foot in front of the other. Prayers are great, but you have to change what you're doing, or nothing will change. Accept the $95.00 every two weeks from welfare and start saving for a car or apartment. Get some room mates. I know another man in his shoes and recognize the despair, yet he also has not done anything to move forward. More than pity, he needs a mentor friend to offer some constructive advice. How about the guy who walks past him everyday?
See the beautiful eyes of this man, you can see the sadness in his soul. Sending blessings and love for him to find a decent clean place to live so he can begin living again. ♥
I thought the same about his eyes.they are unusually kind .and I understand what he is talking ,being marginalized ,or set up for failure .it's easy to dislike ppl when they are dirty and on the streets just the way the program wants .when you look well and have a head on ur shoulders it bothers them and you get jack when kept down in the mudd.

Oh man, Richard breaks my heart, his first wish was to bring his wife back, I am so sorry for him, I hope he get the help he so desperately needs, he’s eyes tell the story, broken-hearted and a powerful testimony
As a person with some street time, if I ever won the lottery, I'd get it in cash and leave it in a duffle bag. Send off a tweet and let people fight over it.
I’ve thought the same thing. If I won the lottery, I would donate to so many org. Animal welfare, and ppl like this. He just needs a break, and things will get better, one step at a time. I pray, Father God that u protect this man from harm’s way and plz provide him w shelter, clothes, food transportation and a good job. In Jesus precious name Amen. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
He's 100% correct! I used to be homeless and people would either look right through me or give me dirty looks or even say nasty things to me. Now I drive an $80,000 vehicle have a nice house, It's astonishing how many fake people approach me trying to be my friend now. Living on both sides of the fence really changes your perspective on people also makes it difficult to trust them as well. The thing that bothered me the most when I was homeless, was the fact that I met so many people who went and fought for our country/freedom that were homeless, I know for a fact none of these people were lying, I seen their military ID cards. We need to have a war on homelessness! 👍
Don't worry man. All that money that could be used to help the homeless is going to Ukraine to get funneled to the war machine and out of tax payer pockets
Man my heart goes out to Richard. I hope he has a door open and he gets sorted. Been exactly where he is and it so lonely,frustrating and scary. It really can happen to any one of us. Really hope he gets the help he needs and deserves
The system sucks. All the money going out to help other countries and can't help our own people, that fought for our freedom. People in prison gets treated better than the homeless and elders of our nations. All those immigrants coming over gets treated so much better than the people that are already here trying to survive it don't make sense. I am 72 apply for food stamps. It's just me, living by my self, and i am below, low income and guess what they give me for food stamps a month. 16 whole dollars a month. The system is a joke. The prisoners gets free housing three meals a day they get to watch TV they have no bills they can even get an education all for free and the poor people that works hard all their life gets s*** they need to help the homeless people
He has such clear, soulful eyes. The United States medical industry is criminal. I'll bet he gets a lot of grief from people telling him he's young and should get a job. People have no clue how fragile our lives are, especially in a mean system with very little safety nets for people when things go wrong.
Exactly and it never gets better, Medicare is a pain too, because medication is only cover by for profit corporations plus you need to pay for the supplement control by a private insurance. I found out you are punished for getting old .
"I raised them, I can't take money from them. It's the other way around." His morals even after being screwed by life for the past six years are still solid. What a guy, I really hope someone comes along and performs a life changing act for this man. He deserves better.
You raised your children took care of them when they needed you and now when you’re in need you can’t ask them. How sad what kinda son or daughter was I to the point where my parents can’t reach out to me when they’re in need. We should honor and care for our parents because that’s all they did for us.
This is a man! He has great passion and that's the most important thing a person can have. He definitely deserves a second chance. I hope he can do it and I hope we can get a follow up.

I’m newly disabled and this guy is living my worst nightmares. A lot of what he says I can relate to but obviously his struggle is multiplied ten fold. Hope he is still well
@@clevernapkin1890 he lost his job because his wife had cancer and she needed 24 hr care. So he lost his apartment and doesn't have family. His wife passed and he was served judgement papers to pay the balance after he was already homeless. So do you have family member in hospice you have to take care of 24/7?
What's happened to this man is what can happen to ANYBODY. Unless you're a millionaire, this man is you America. Shameful, disgraceful state of affairs.
I do don't like how the rules are not enough is done about homelessness people deserve chances and better pay so we can atleast survive even people with disabilities
@@saxoncrow2500 dude people do believe in satan. judging by your name you did too at some point of your life just to be a rebel. stuff this guy has been through is beyond any help of any imaginary friends. this guy and hundreds of thousands like him needs the majority of voters to press this issue, the elephant in the room; "how come a law abiding tax payer could end like this?" "what's keeping me from ending just like him?" "why are we letting you rule us when we claim freedom and liberty are words we jack-off to as a nation while you can't even give proper housing to a guy who lost his everything because he helped with the medical bills of his wife?" shit like that.
Everyone is a step away from being homeless I don’t care who you are anything can happen at any time, almost 3 years ago I was homeless for eight months because the owner of the house I lived at was a friend he passed away from ALS better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease then his wife sold the house and we had no place to go and got evicted by the realtor , it all happened so fast and it was devastating , I know how he feels and the way people treat you when you’re homeless is awful , praying for him and hopefully somebody helps him ❤🙏🏽
It's despicable how american citizens are treated by their own country. In Europe there is a much better Support System.when you're sick, you get treatment wirhout going into debt, if your kids need therapy or medical Equipment there is a lot of financial support. I don't know why people put up with it.
I've been evicted and was never late on mortgage or rent, they realtor or owner just decided to sell, and any lease or mortgage documents I signed were null and void, I could have sued, but would have lost more money, I lived in my jeep, took showers at the gym, and tried to keep a good attitude at my jobs, it got alot worse before it got better (long story) I feel for this guy, hope his kids see this like the other comments said, prayers for you 🙏
I could be Richard so easily. If not for the kindness and help from my stepdaughter and her husband, this could have happened to me 8 months ago. My heart breaks for him.
I truly feel so sorry that we treat good people like this lovely gentleman. Someone that has lived through the horror of taking care of a fatally sick partner, living with the dread of racking up incomprehensible bills. He is a true hero for doing this interview and showing the world the other side of homelessness. I hope he gets a chance to find stability to get his life back on track. 💖 True strength to still be fighting after being so lost and alone. I challenge the richest people to walk in his shoes and see how well they fare. God bless you.
Unfortunately many adult children estranged themselves their parents. Apparently going no contact with parents is pushed by so called therapists and psychs. The agenda to tear the American family apart has succeeded.
My husband and 3 yr old were killed by a drunk driver, I was crippled! I was also left with four little ones. I was a teacher and he an ac guy. Not much money, but SS for kids. I worked my ass off all my life to stay at that edge. Falling over is tough, wish him the best, but he can do it! He can!!! I paid $25 per month, still do. I am 66. This happened when I was 39.
This is the exact person we need to help. He endured a terrible loss. He tried to live within the rules of society & we as a society failed him. He’s right too that trying to get up when you’re so far down - lost everything, no family. We should be ashamed that we are not helping people like this man get back on this feet. We can do so much more to address this problem.
My dad passed away last year, now I'm borderline homeless. Yea, I live in my aunts garage, paying her rent, not even for a room, I know it's more than most but the kicker is my family there, mostly my Aunt treat me like garbage already, like I am on the streets. Belittling me. But yea, I'm like everyone else just trying to survive. I like and enjoy my job, don't make much but hey, hanging in there trying not to loose it or go too far gone. I do loss prevention and security, when this gent says he doesn't steal I believe him, I've met homeless that are cool, come into my place of business and just use the restroom, browse and leave. Those are the ones I give food and money to. Hopefully things turn up for this guy! 🙏 I know how this guy feels with the food situation. I miss cooking.
When I stayed with family, I was treated poorly as well. Just a thought, have you considered buying an RV, some are rent to own. Also, check to see how much a one bedroom cost and you can rent out the living room or the bedroom (for more money) but make sure the place is affordable to where you can cover the cost if the roommate decides to leave.
Ive met some horrible people who claim to be homeless, damned thieves and liars and destroyers ( in europe) . Its a pleasure to meet genuine homeless people who are willing to do what is right, and i pray too that he gets this chance 🙏🏼🍀
@@jeanettejohnson7315 interesting , I know nothing about religion , and always thought it was all nonsense until I start watching these ghost videos, and now I am so curious.
Richard… you’re not alone my sweet friend!!! Here in NH the homeless population grows & I use to be one of them! There is hope & please never give up!! You are seen,heard & loved!!! GOD*BLESS 🙏🙏🙏

This breaks my heart. It also changes my perspective. There's no reason this good man should fall through the cracks of a broken system while our government wastes billions of dollars on pointless wars and frivolous pork barrel programs. So utterly unnecessary, this suffering. God bless this man's strength and resolve.
I did my college thesis on homelessness. Imagine having no home to go to. No bed. No shower. No refrigerator full of food. No shelter from the elements....❤Y
He’s getting lots of good tax free money. That’s better than we are doing. We have to work like slaves all day for our money and then we have to pay taxes on it too to support 80+ programs of welfare for leeches.
Yeah, he does have more honesty and integrity than a lot of the big shots you mentioned. God knows how many lives were hurt or ended by these same people. Things like honesty and integrity aren't values they hold dear.
i wanna say to this Homeless guy lose everything but please don't lose your Faith in God Jesus always provides for you Faithfulness 🙏❤These Material things are not Everything! Jesus your God and Provider will Take care of you because he feeds the Birds everyday they dont stock up they faithfully Receive (: Amen!Jesus Healed me and helped me out soo many times thats why i can NEVER Lose Hope and Faith in the Good faithful Lord 😄
Makes you put things into perspective when you see things like this, hats off to this man, seems a genuine nice guy.. Guys like this deserve a second chance
This brought me to tears 😭 my wife was pregnant with our daughter and we lost her at 7 months my wife became very sick and has had to stop working , I had to take time off work to take care of her all while we are trying ti grieve and the apartment said we would get help , it never came and now I’m fighting them to keep our place they are taking us to court. I had to switch jobs just to keep up and finally broke and told my wife about the stress which added more becuase I was trying to keep her stress down. I’m just hoping I can keep it all together🙏 this man’s strength through all his hurt is amazing
My heart goes out to Richard. Life is so unfair. He's right, people do look at them differently when they see them sitting on the ground. May god bless him with some good news and put him on a better path. I hope his sons see this interview and perhaps help in some way. My heart hurts for him.
What a good man, he's been dealt some bad deals. He has more pride and self respect than many of those living the high life. I was suddenly widowed at 48, with 4 children and know life is hard. Stay positive Richard, life can suddenly turn around. Wishing you everything good. With kind wishes from England 🇬🇧 😊
Sir I worked at that shelter on wards Island I was a security guard we were just there for appearance all kinds of crazy activities were going on at the time
@@richardackerson7552 LOL!!! It's the worst. I always kept to myself. And the showers are absolutely disgusting !!! I would always shower and eat at my grandmother's crib.
Richard you broke this man's heart in pieces. I cry for this guy from all over here in Sweden. Aristotle really hit the nail on the head when he was asked what the greatest pain is. "the greatest pain a man can feel ? to have insight into much. And power over nothing."

I hope there is radical change in this nation some day (sooner rather than later) and as a whole we prioritize taking care of and loving one another. I’m not talking about blocking off borders and not caring for our global neighbors… I mean I hope an end comes to the hoarding of wealth. It’s insane that some are able to amass more wealth than they could ever hope to spend in their lifetime, even if there only job was going out and trying to spend all this money before they leave this planet. There is enough to provide the basic necessities of life to everyone, and yet people still starve to death and die easily preventable deaths because they lack the resources to access basic healthcare. You’ve only typed 3 short sentences and whoever you are, wherever you are, my heart aches at the mention of losing your son. If positive vibes can bless the lives of others even in some small way, I hope I can direct some your way. Wish I had ability to help or hug you. I cannot begin to imagine your heartache and struggles just to provide for yourself and keep going. Within a 5 year span, I lost my dad, sister, and uncle to suicide. Plus during that time my stepmom and grandmother that raised me died. It was a wicked hurt. What kept me going was my own 3 children and my niece(sisters daughter). I felt it was my role to mother my niece. She endured the same tragedies I did. She went on to have 3 kids in her early 20s. She was working so hard to provide for her sons. Then her youngest unexpectedly passed at a month old. I thought I had a strong understanding of grief from my own lived experiences. As I watched my niece fall apart after she lost her son, I realized there is nothing quite so intense and earth shattering as losing one’s own child. I couldn’t help her much. She got into drugs just after he passed. The state was quick to take her other two sons from her. I myself have shelter hopped with my kids and I just barely keep them fed and sheltered. It’s astounding how cruel some people are to my niece and to others that wind up homeless like this. Those who are cruel have been conned into believing there is a laziness issue that fuels americas homeless population. The stories I am aware of from my own experiences are so tragic. I have the most profound respect for anyone who has lost a child and they somehow find the courage to stay on this earth and care for themselves and others who hurt. The day will someday come, where the compassion and understanding outweigh the lies and callousness that leave hurting people without shelter, food, healthcare, and just genuine love. I hope the help and love you surely need finds you. Not sure if I believe in a god or righteous creator anymore that knows and is concerned about each and every one of us. But, I do believe that there is fundamental goodness in people overall, and eventually the good will overtake the ugly and we will all care for one another and lift each other up. ❤
I've lost every person I have ever loved through death or estrangement due to mental illness. I have three dogs. No friends. No family. My dogs are my life. Social support is non existent. I just want me and my three girls to be ok. I can't take another loss.
Wow you’re so nice! I’m sure he really appreciates your wishes in the UA-cam comments section. That’ll help so much! Thank you for your graciousness and generosity.
2:35 I lost my mom a few years ago and how the world moved on around her made me depressed. I am fortunate not to be homeless but the look of grief around the time I stamped brings me back to the feeling of despair, disappointment and lack of empathy by others especially close ones, I feel are summed up by this man’s emotions. God bless you sir, I hope you find your path in life and stay safe.
What a heartfelt story/message. Poor Richard! I hope he gets an opportunity to get housing that offers him the stability he is asking for and needs to establish a life for himself. I work in human services and it’s so sad, and everything he said was so true.
I am so sorry this homeless has been so targeted and abused. He is a good man, yet society is not great the way things are working. Prayers for him and EVERY ONE WHO IS sick, grieving, traumatized. I am so sorry for this inhumanity in the wake of Remembrance Day.
God bless you Richard and Mark. Mark is a hero for telling these people's stories that we don't think about on a daily basis but for them it's a daily struggle. Be grateful. I saw another interview with Mark where a lady said "we're all 1 bad paycheck from being homeless" and isn't that the damn truth and these people have real guts to tell everyone the real struggles of homelessnes. Thank God for Mark and this channel, just be greatful please. 🙏
OMG, Mark... I know and understand everything he is saying! He made me cry. No matter what you do to try and get help, its a road of circles and games! And the workers is so TRUE!! Case managers change ALL THE TIME, and you get so TIRED of having to tell your story, what you need, how you need help, and NEVER get a thing, only to get ANOTHER WORKER! 🙄😮💨 Its a complete waste of time and its exhausting! Ive been going through it for over a year! I got housed just over a year ago, and my health has depleted so badly! Case managers NEVER got back to me, Im on my 3rd one! The apt I live is a place that looks like a "psych hospital ground" without the fence, and its filled with drugs, crazy people and violence! It SHOULD be a psych hospital!! We cant find anything to rent and if we dont get out of here we will most likely get killed here! This is what the government does to us when we are POOR, LOW INCOME, and have to rely on the bare minimum and BELOW THE POVERTY LINE for income! They (govt) will NEVER do right by us.
Same happened to me - my husband killed by a drunk driver while he was walking to work one morning. We were living in a weekly rental place and rent was due that day. Landlord threw me and our 8 month old son out on the street 8 hours after my husband died. She wouldn’t even wait one day for my dad to wire me some money
Richard if you get to see this, My dad is/was doing the same as you are, sometimes too ashamed to reach out and sometimes too angry, and other times it is me who feels that way towards him. Even though I dont know where he is and how he is doing, I still want him to be ok, and your kids for sure want that for you too. Under all the history, there is some love.
Gosh I travelled to NYC in 2000 one of my best memories ever, was in the fashion industry on a business trip. I remember buying something in old navy. Never thought I'd see a post mentioning that spot and a human in trouble
What amazing man. He needs a hand up not a hand out. Just listen to him speak... A genuine person who needs a break; nothing more, nothing less. All it takes is one person with a heart and soul and a bit of compassion to lend him a hand... so sad.
What a beautiful soul, this man got trapped in a system that fails people in need time and time again 💔 I wish him the very best and hope he gets the help he needs in finding a place off the street 🙏
I’m watching this from the UK and I sincerely hope Richard gets the well deserved break he needs, he is such a genuine man, please can we have an update 🤞🏻
USA is a big country , If things are going very bad for you , Pick yourself up and try a new place. I have traveled all over & have always got by . I was a drifter for many years and made my home in Florida now & there is always plenty of work for the willing
I get really stressed about life a lot. Served in the military, did a tour in Afghanistan, and went to college afterwards. I'm not blaming anybody for any of my struggling, but after college it seemed like nothing I tried to accomplish worked out. Business endeavors, relationships, etc. I've worked a bunch of different jobs, lived in a few different places, and I just can't seem to get any momentum started anywhere. I have to work hard to make ends meet, but I'm able to do it. Watching these videos truly gives me the gift of perspective. As hard as life has been, I'm not living on the streets. I'm thankful for that. edit* genuine thanks to everybody showing support. I didn't think anybody would read this comment. I've gotten enrolled back in college and Im starting a second job in addition to my full-time job. Hopefully things turn around soon 🙏🏻 I hope y'all have a blessed day ♥️
I know what you mean. I have the same problem. I feel like I'm stagnating. Try one thing, it doesn't work. Try another thing, can't get moving. I do keep trying but yeah, I feel the same way. Who'd you serve with in Afghanistan man ? Whereabouts ?
ATTENTION!!!! Where will your soul go when you die? Heaven or Hell??? ROMANS 5:8 Jesus died for us, even as we are still sinners. God will not put up with our sinful behavior. Repent and accept Jesus into your heart and you will be saved. BEWARE!!!! Hell Is real and only the salvation of Jesus Christ can save you from the lake of fire and eternal torment. Jesus loves you and he can forgive you of any sin that you have ever committed.
This video just breaks my heart. I wish I could give this guy the world. He deserves the same respect as anyone else. God bless this man. I pray he finds a way out of that. No one deserves to live like that.
Well , makes me cry . I hope somebody help him to get back on his feet . Stay safe & happy Thanksgiving & Navidad , blessings from Gulf of California . Mexico
You were a good and faithful husband. Did not abandon your wife due to her illness to run of with another woman. And now you are homeless. You did the honorable thing, praying for God to sent you an angel from heaven...
@@thetruthhurts131 The truth hurts doesnt it, thats why you need to deny God, because the reality that God knows your name and judges righteously is terrifying to you
This man deserves a second chance. You can tell he has the passion to succeed and he deserves it. I truly hope someone gives him an opportunity to clean up, maybe a dentist to replace his teeth and make him feel good about life again. Would love an update on him and truly wishing the rest of his life makes up for the trauma he has endured.
Hi there. So my office building is near where Richard sits during the day. I just spoke with him earlier. He’s doing well despite his challenges. He’s been frustrated with the lack of progress with his housing case but is trying to keep a happy spirit. Im trying to get him some winter clothes as it gets very cold here in NYC during the winter.
I feel for this fella. What a shit run of luck and loss. You can tell he's decent and needs a break. Made me choke up when he got upset. I'd love to be in a position to give him some work. Bless him.
He needs to let his kids know. They would help him. He even said they would. Whats more, they'd probably WANT to help. He just doesn't want them to know. If it was my parent, would know because I talk to them everyday and visit. Where are they? I'd rather take care of them than the Govt. I help take care of my mom now. There is NOTHING she wants for.
He said he can get work but he needs somewhere to shower and shave and to get a good night's sleep,wash his clothes ect.what we take for granted,I hope he gets a better living situation real soon 🙏 ❤️
@@lioness7582 Churches have free showers, food pantries, career training, clothes closets, etc. I don’t see him doing anything but sitting there complaining.
"I'm trying to get back into society, I can't get back in, they don't wanna let ya" Damn if that isn't the cold hard facts of this country. We are certainly a fair weather country. Sad, he seems like a really well put together person.
1st 35 yrs of my life in Sydney, last 20 in USA,... "Van Life", "Car Camping", "Nomads" is SURGING here in USA & starting in Australia too,... A mate told me that there is a growing crowd of Homeless people camping in my old home town of Penrith in Sydney's Western Suburbs and they are living along The Nepean River in tents,... Council has set up Porta Loo's for them.
@davidyummus6259 the cost of living is ridiculous man. The only place I can afford to live in is a boarding/share house. I've tried those, they're full of drunks and iceheads who will rob you blind once you leave the house. Much safer in my car
When he said he had sons but didn’t want to tell them because he didn’t want them to interrupt their lives that broke me. We are all told we should be self sufficient. We all need help and not asking for it costs lives.
FINALLY! I’ve been looking for Richard every day this week. (photo posted in the community section) His video went virtual. People have been bringing him money and food. I hate that he’s still sleeping outside, especially in the NYC cold and wet. Richard told me a friend will let him stay for the holiday. That’s awesome, but we must fix housing and homeless services to get everyone inside. Richard shared with me his Cash App $rparry976
You are truly a fucked up individual.
Sent a little something, hoping others do the same. A little bit can add up quickly, albeit a temporary solution.
I work here @ the hospital in Miami,FL. But I currently plan a visit to NYC about every 6 months (mainly October). I come across alot of warm hearted people that could really touch your heart and appreciate the reality that they seem is a impossible fantasy. I’ve seen all the sites I’ve seen all the tourist attractions but one thing that always draws me back is the people. I sent this man money as well and shared his cash app with some people in my hospital. God bless this man and may the people of NYC continue to have kind hearts and help him it takes a village.
I tried to send something but I found an App with a white $ sign and a green background. But it appears not available in my country. I'm from Ecuador. Maybe Richard has ID? Is it easier for me to send him a Western Union or Money Gram shipment. :) I just need his name as it is on his ID and his ID number and the city where he is going to make the withdrawal.
@@Sandra-et3ew well from the video it sounds like his name is Richard Perry, it also sounds like he's in Manhattan NY. That's what I gathered anyhow.
Guy’s wife dies and the hospital comes after him for $85k, what kind of nightmare of a society have we created? Now he’s homeless because of it. We have to stop doing this to people
i heard him say he turned down 95 dollars from services, and walked away. Some of us could buy groceries for a week on that, sounds like he doesn't need the money after all. Then I got madder hearing him turn up his nose at food stamps, complaining that he doesn't want to live off sandwiches every day. He isn't starving or he would NEVER say that. I've gone hungry and lived off gas station food, no hot meals -- he is obviously not starving except by choice. How insulting.
@@nadiamccall4311it’s insulting people like you take up space and air and do nothing with it except inconvenience the rest of us😊

My office is near where Richard is. I used to see him once a week and would chat with him and buy him coffee and food. Such a great guy!
That's nice
God Bless you for helping him. Love is something you do.
Exactly where in New York can this guy be found? Where do you see him? Where exactly is he living?
Maybe you have business connections or so to give him a job?

@@adoten4900 Yes! It shocked me to hear he said that! 😢How heartbreaking if I knew my father were homeless for years and kept me from knowing 😭😭 I
@@adoten4900agree
My dad is jobless we all support him , families stick together
I am pretty sure there's more to this story. This cannot be the norm
I went through exactly what he did. My husband passed after battling cancer . I would be homeless if it wasn't for my son in-law and daughter. Spent three years paying off the medical bills. I wish I could help him. I'm going to pray for him. He seems like a good soul.
What I don't understand is two things first people that owe a l lot of money on medical bills or homes should file bankruptcies because of trump and his family can do it so many times I figured these people can ,since the trump family has so much money and properties and could keep everything and supposedly when filling bankruptcy you have to give up your property or you can keep it and just pay money on the properties you want to keep , because my ex husband did it a few times also, but if president Biden can make sure that these illegal imagrints can come to this country get a place to live in these nice 700.00 $ hotel a cell phone medical food the people that have lived here for decades or in the military they should get the help first I'm am so disappointed in our presidents and government for not doing this plus they also made sure that Ukraine was taking care of and other countries that's fine but our people should also be helpt
Really?
Is cancer preventable?
Yeah I've heard a lot of similar stories. of people having their family members get cancer and it totally bankrupts them. It's scary how common it is.
I am glad you had someone to help you.❤️
Grief can ruin a person. When my mom died, I broke down and came very close to losing it all. Bless you Richard, I pray someone out there can give you the chance you need.
Im imagine all tghe millionaires walking pasty him, i really dont no how the rich who dont help homeless ppl even live wit them selves i truly dont bc if i was super rich thats all i would be doing is giving homeless ppl money n food n helping them get a place to live ..
Loss comes in many forms. Family estrangement, your own children denying your very existence, is a killer.

Grief is such a painful experience, and to lose everything else along with your loved one has to be a horrifying experience. Bless this man, I pray for his strength and his future.
It’s hurts me … the government did this & refuses to help
Me too
@I Coroa I agree with you. Prayers doesn’t help much. They need some real help, physically, mentally, instead of praying…..
@@natashaletourneau5368 It's exactly the same in the UK. We have a huge problem with homelessness and it's rapdily increased these past 5- 6 years. Like Richard said in the video, there's very little support out there despite what the govt leads people to believe. As for welfare, it's ridiculous the amount of hoops that they make claimants go through for a shitty pittance. I know several people that told the dwp to forget it as it's not worth the hastle of the stress of it all. The system is a trap and once you're in it, you struggle to get out of the loop. The govt also set up these stupid organisations were the unemployed have to go see someone every touch and turn to go over the same crap that they discussed the week before. They don't help people and there's a lot of money to be made by the spivs that set up these govt funded organisations. Also, despite it appearing that there are plenty of job opportunites out there, what's really going on is that different platforms like cv library, indeed etc are being used by companies and employment agencies to advertise for free. People are applying for jobs that often don't exist. The unemployment situation has got worse since 2020 with everything that's currently going on in the world. The govt would have people working in work houses if they could have their way. it's such a stressful, cruel and evil world out there and people shouldnt have to live like they do.
@@natashaletourneau5368 I'm in the same situation I'm in Brooklyn I want to go to Manhattan but I'm sort of stuck cause I don't have money or income. I did apply for Cash assistance but I don't know how that works
He is a good man, I can tell. He deserves a better life.
Our government takes care of illegal immigrants, and asking this guy to pay $ 85,000.00 that's shame.
Yes it certainly is.
Let’s bless him
I hope someone gives this man a break 😊😊😊
You dont have the power to do that.@@jabberkiller4047
You can see all the pain and suffering just looking at his eyes. Hope he finds a place to stay and hope for the best.
Jeremiah 5:21chapter context similar meaning copy save
Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
Isaiah 43:8chapter context similar meaning copy save
Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
Isaiah 35:5chapter context similar meaning copy save
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
Sadly, whosoever are not willing to advice others humans to seek out GOD and to cry out to GOD, haven`t given real, valued help.
Let me share you a mystery - a life changing mystery about this place we call: EARTH:
We share it with another offspring, who pretending to be us, but are not even close to being us.
BIBLICALLY: THE TARES
Matthew 13:30chapter context similar meaning copy save Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
We share earth with another offspring, the hybrid creatures, BIBLE CLEARLY TALKS ABOUT AND WARNS ABOUT.
Dear soul, dare to read and study the only book, which shall give you all needful answers. THE BIBLE (KJV).
Matthew 13:25chapter context similar meaning copy save
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Matthew 13:26chapter context similar meaning copy save
But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Matthew 13:29chapter context similar meaning copy save
But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Matthew 13:40chapter context similar meaning copy save
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
And to all, who state that BIBLE and GOD IS NOT NEEDED, let me ask a question:
How the hell can you be sure, that whosoever you`r dealing with is human being and not just trying to look like one?
(yes, it is 100% logical question to ask, and if soul has truly read and studied the bible, then answer is not hard to give).
The answer to the question is: YES BOTH ARE NEEDED 100%.
Mark 8:18chapter context similar meaning copy save
Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
????? - so you aint seeing that more and more people become therapist , bringing forth new problems, that should not even exist? Now why is that? Man aka human being trying to help another human, ain+t making things worse? How long are we conna deny, what we, as mankind are busy doing and letting to be done? Please notice my wording: not as individuals, but as mankind, the whole living population of humans, and may i shock you again? Humans are far less in numbers then 7 + billion. We are far less. I leave you in peace with all that i said. Re - read all my comments ( IF NEEDED) to finally get what i truly told. Peace.
Psalms 115:5chapter context similar meaning copy save
They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
Psalms 135:16chapter context similar meaning copy save
They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
Luke 10:23chapter context similar meaning copy save
And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
Isaiah 44:18chapter context similar meaning copy save
They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
The tares are:
among the police,
among the doctors,
among the politics,
among the family three,
among the singers, actors,
among the regular population.
Tell your president to stop giving billions of our taxpayer money to Ukraine and help out our own first.

He doesn't want to disrupt his childrens life because he is homeless. He doesnt want to tell them he is suffering. Sir, you are a great soul
If he was in his kids lives, they’d know this.
This is what a dysfunctional family system does to the people.
But how are his children don't want to visit him?
From a street person perspective who has turned it around ,this guy has had enough. He's ready to change someone please do not let him go to waste.
Breaks my heart to see genuine people suffering like this.
God bless Richard
May he heal emotionally and be granted a place to stay and a job.
Imagine what those hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars that was given to Ukraine could have done to help our own ppl.
The sadness in his eyes is haunting
You can see the pain he has inside of him
That society rejects him and he’s not a bad man … he didn’t steal or so drugs anymore … but it doesn’t matter … we as a society reject him when we should be giving him a little boost up
I hope he’s alright

@@belarte7063 It appears that he's still using drugs. God, so sad what drugs do to people. He admitted that he makes $95.00 a day panhandling. The first step for him would be to get off the drugs. File bankruptcy. Get cleaned up and get a job. Find a place to stash his belongings. Go to the gym to shower and shave. Step by step, one foot in front of the other. Prayers are great, but you have to change what you're doing, or nothing will change. Accept the $95.00 every two weeks from welfare and start saving for a car or apartment. Get some room mates. I know another man in his shoes and recognize the despair, yet he also has not done anything to move forward. More than pity, he needs a mentor friend to offer some constructive advice. How about the guy who walks past him everyday?
This interview was from last year. I would like to see an update if possible. Richard is a good man. May God continue to bless and protect him.
See the beautiful eyes of this man, you can see the sadness in his soul. Sending blessings and love for him to find a decent clean place to live so he can begin living again. ♥
yes, those eyes...so expressive.
I thought the same about his eyes.they are unusually kind .and I understand what he is talking ,being marginalized ,or set up for failure .it's easy to dislike ppl when they are dirty and on the streets just the way the program wants .when you look well and have a head on ur shoulders it bothers them and you get jack when kept down in the mudd.

What a genuine, decent man he is. I pray that it turns out well for him
This is wrong on so many levels. A loved ones death, medical bills, no way out. Give this guy a chance ❤
I feel for him too, but he could’ve filed for bankruptcy protection…if this story according to him is factual.

When I see the lotteries getting so huge I dream about helping people like this on larger scale. Bless this wonderful man.
Exactly!
As a person with some street time, if I ever won the lottery, I'd get it in cash and leave it in a duffle bag. Send off a tweet and let people fight over it.
I have also. I can only hope to win the lottery (millions) so I could somehow help the homeless in our country.
If I ever won I would rent a bus and round up many homeless and rehabilitate them and promise a home and job with extra cash to survive 🙏🙏
I’ve thought the same thing. If I won the lottery, I would donate to so many org. Animal welfare, and ppl like this. He just needs a break, and things will get better, one step at a time. I pray, Father God that u protect this man from harm’s way and plz provide him w shelter, clothes, food transportation and a good job. In Jesus precious name Amen. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
He's 100% correct! I used to be homeless and people would either look right through me or give me dirty looks or even say nasty things to me. Now I drive an $80,000 vehicle have a nice house, It's astonishing how many fake people approach me trying to be my friend now. Living on both sides of the fence really changes your perspective on people also makes it difficult to trust them as well. The thing that bothered me the most when I was homeless, was the fact that I met so many people who went and fought for our country/freedom that were homeless, I know for a fact none of these people were lying, I seen their military ID cards. We need to have a war on homelessness! 👍
That's amazing ... How did you do that!
What did you do? Please tell
They made millions homeless in the places they served at and karma is a biatch that misses no one.

Don't worry man. All that money that could be used to help the homeless is going to Ukraine to get funneled to the war machine and out of tax payer pockets

Man my heart goes out to Richard. I hope he has a door open and he gets sorted. Been exactly where he is and it so lonely,frustrating and scary. It really can happen to any one of us. Really hope he gets the help he needs and deserves
The system sucks. All the money going out to help other countries and can't help our own people, that fought for our freedom. People in prison gets treated better than the homeless and elders of our nations. All those immigrants coming over gets treated so much better than the people that are already here trying to survive it don't make sense. I am 72 apply for food stamps. It's just me, living by my self, and i am below, low income and guess what they give me for food stamps a month. 16 whole dollars a month. The system is a joke. The prisoners gets free housing three meals a day they get to watch TV they have no bills they can even get an education all for free and the poor people that works hard all their life gets s*** they need to help the homeless people
The problem is meth. Those things drained your bank.
Where his family and friends coworkers grandma not helping him
He doesn't want to be a burden to his family.
Because he saw how the government penalized him for caring for his wife.
Sad, no friends, family
Man it gets COLD out there. So sorry for the loss of his wife. May God give ALL homeless people clean housing, food and safety.
Winter suks bad, I hate it. Being homeless best seasons are spring and fall
He has such clear, soulful eyes. The United States medical industry is criminal. I'll bet he gets a lot of grief from people telling him he's young and should get a job. People have no clue how fragile our lives are, especially in a mean system with very little safety nets for people when things go wrong.
Exactly and it never gets better, Medicare is a pain too, because medication is only cover by for profit corporations plus you need to pay for the supplement control by a private insurance. I found out you are punished for getting old .

Eh...if that was my Dad, I wouldn't mind paying for him to be off the streets. He needs to humble himself and ask for help.
You raised your children took care of them when they needed you and now when you’re in need you can’t ask them.

@@saxoncrow2500 dude people do believe in satan. judging by your name you did too at some point of your life just to be a rebel. stuff this guy has been through is beyond any help of any imaginary friends. this guy and hundreds of thousands like him needs the majority of voters to press this issue, the elephant in the room; "how come a law abiding tax payer could end like this?" "what's keeping me from ending just like him?" "why are we letting you rule us when we claim freedom and liberty are words we jack-off to as a nation while you can't even give proper housing to a guy who lost his everything because he helped with the medical bills of his wife?" shit like that.
He doesn't need two weeks he needs five months
My heart goes out to this guy, and all the others that have lost it all, through no fault of their own.
Everyone is a step away from being homeless I don’t care who you are anything can happen at any time, almost 3 years ago I was homeless for eight months because the owner of the house I lived at was a friend he passed away from ALS better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease then his wife sold the house and we had no place to go and got evicted by the realtor , it all happened so fast and it was devastating , I know how he feels and the way people treat you when you’re homeless is awful , praying for him and hopefully somebody helps him ❤🙏🏽
You're right. Most people are a paycheck away.
Karma will get her
It's despicable how american citizens are treated by their own country. In Europe there is a much better Support System.when you're sick, you get treatment wirhout going into debt, if your kids need therapy or medical Equipment there is a lot of financial support. I don't know why people put up with it.
💖💜
I've been evicted and was never late on mortgage or rent, they realtor or owner just decided to sell, and any lease or mortgage documents I signed were null and void, I could have sued, but would have lost more money, I lived in my jeep, took showers at the gym, and tried to keep a good attitude at my jobs, it got alot worse before it got better (long story) I feel for this guy, hope his kids see this like the other comments said, prayers for you 🙏
I could be Richard so easily. If not for the kindness and help from my stepdaughter and her husband, this could have happened to me 8 months ago. My heart breaks for him.
I truly feel so sorry that we treat good people like this lovely gentleman. Someone that has lived through the horror of taking care of a fatally sick partner, living with the dread of racking up incomprehensible bills. He is a true hero for doing this interview and showing the world the other side of homelessness. I hope he gets a chance to find stability to get his life back on track. 💖 True strength to still be fighting after being so lost and alone. I challenge the richest people to walk in his shoes and see how well they fare.
God bless you.
This is BEAUTIFUL thank you ♥️
Isn't it amazing that in a city of millions not one person can give this man a room.
when you are in NYC you never alone but you are always at your own
Not even the Guy with His utube Channel making Money Out of His Situation
@@Amalek3112 You make a fair point
@@gus196666 Then that means you're alone.
It’s called neoliberalism
This man needed someone to talk to. God bless both of you. Hopefully opportunities open up for him.
We all need to remember that none of us know what brings anyone to this helpless place in life. Kindness and compassion cost nothing.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾I heard your heart...
I hope his kids see this and help their dad. He bought them into this world.
Unfortunately many adult children estranged themselves their parents. Apparently going no contact with parents is pushed by so called therapists and psychs. The agenda to tear the American family apart has succeeded.
I hope you help him because if the kids don't you sure won't.
One year later and no children are interested in helping him. Is any worth having children?
@@richricogranada9647 very sad 😔
You have no idea what kind of father he was or what his story is -please
My husband and 3 yr old were killed by a drunk driver, I was crippled! I was also left with four little ones. I was a teacher and he an ac guy. Not much money, but SS for kids. I worked my ass off all my life to stay at that edge. Falling over is tough, wish him the best, but he can do it! He can!!!
I paid $25 per month, still do. I am 66. This happened when I was 39.
You earned my respect 👍👍 never give up !!
God bless you
🙏
When he said "I missed paying my bills" it really truly made me more grateful for everyday life things 🙏🙏🙏👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 thanks for y'all for this video fr.
This is the exact person we need to help. He endured a terrible loss. He tried to live within the rules of society & we as a society failed him.
He’s right too that trying to get up when you’re so far down - lost everything, no family.
We should be ashamed that we are not helping people like this man get back on this feet.
We can do so much more to address this problem.
My dad passed away last year, now I'm borderline homeless. Yea, I live in my aunts garage, paying her rent, not even for a room, I know it's more than most but the kicker is my family there, mostly my Aunt treat me like garbage already, like I am on the streets. Belittling me. But yea, I'm like everyone else just trying to survive. I like and enjoy my job, don't make much but hey, hanging in there trying not to loose it or go too far gone. I do loss prevention and security, when this gent says he doesn't steal I believe him, I've met homeless that are cool, come into my place of business and just use the restroom, browse and leave. Those are the ones I give food and money to. Hopefully things turn up for this guy! 🙏 I know how this guy feels with the food situation. I miss cooking.
you have a great outlook and I will keep him and you in my prayers
When I stayed with family, I was treated poorly as well. Just a thought, have you considered buying an RV, some are rent to own. Also, check to see how much a one bedroom cost and you can rent out the living room or the bedroom (for more money) but make sure the place is affordable to where you can cover the cost if the roommate decides to leave.
Stay up g! Thanks for sharing you story
Ive met some horrible people who claim to be homeless, damned thieves and liars and destroyers ( in europe) . Its a pleasure to meet genuine homeless people who are willing to do what is right, and i pray too that he gets this chance 🙏🏼🍀
Who treats u bad, your family?
How can we help him right now? Somebody who sees this man please reach out to him!!🙏🏼 prayers for Richard and all the homeless who are suffering

It must be cold up in New Hampshire and to be homeless must be brutal there.I love your French name.

WARNING!!!! Where will your soul go when you die? Heaven or Hell??? ROMANS 5:8 Jesus died for us, even as we are still sinners. God will not put up with our sinful behavior. Repent and accept Jesus into your heart and you will be saved. BEWARE!!!! Hell Is real and only the salvation of Jesus Christ can save you from the lake of fire and eternal torment. Jesus loves you and he can forgive you of any sin that you have ever committed.
This breaks my heart. It also changes my perspective. There's no reason this good man should fall through the cracks of a broken system while our government wastes billions of dollars on pointless wars and frivolous pork barrel programs. So utterly unnecessary, this suffering. God bless this man's strength and resolve.
Yes, more money is wasted in our country than anywhere in the world!
I did my college thesis on homelessness.
Imagine having no home to go to. No bed. No shower. No refrigerator full of food. No shelter from the elements....❤Y
What was your hypothesis and conclusion if I may ask?
U can tell how much he still loves his wife
So many people are looking for love and loyalty like that. This guy gets thrown on the street for it.
Love doesn't end when a person dies. It turns a corner.
I wish only the best for this poor man…please let something good come his way soon.
🙏🏼🫶🏼
Good people have been his way alot he is getting money from good people pan handling
Maybe winning some Lottery game could determine his fate....
@Brown Pride! Exterminator of White Race!Racist No. Unworthy? I think he can choose his own fate.
He’s getting lots of good tax free money. That’s better than we are doing. We have to work like slaves all day for our money and then we have to pay taxes on it too to support 80+ programs of welfare for leeches.
This guys has more decency, honesty, self-respect and moral more than 99.99 % politicians and Wall Street "big shots", I'll tell you that...
Nah man. You think there is at least 00,01% better than him? Thats a tall order.
Yeah, he does have more honesty and integrity than a lot of the big shots you mentioned. God knows how many lives were hurt or ended by these same people. Things like honesty and integrity aren't values they hold dear.
and manners.

i wanna say to this Homeless guy lose everything but please don't lose your Faith in God Jesus always provides for you Faithfulness 🙏❤These Material things are not Everything! Jesus your God and Provider will Take care of you because he feeds the Birds everyday they dont stock up they faithfully Receive (: Amen!Jesus Healed me and helped me out soo many times thats why i can NEVER Lose Hope and Faith in the Good faithful Lord 😄
Makes you put things into perspective when you see things like this, hats off to this man, seems a genuine nice guy..
Guys like this deserve a second chance
This brought me to tears 😭 my wife was pregnant with our daughter and we lost her at 7 months my wife became very sick and has had to stop working , I had to take time off work to take care of her all while we are trying ti grieve and the apartment said we would get help , it never came and now I’m fighting them to keep our place they are taking us to court. I had to switch jobs just to keep up and finally broke and told my wife about the stress which added more becuase I was trying to keep her stress down. I’m just hoping I can keep it all together🙏 this man’s strength through all his hurt is amazing
you got this man , it’s gonna be alright🙏🏽❤️praying for you
You can and you WILL.
I really hope it all works out for the two of you
One day at a time. Good things will come to you and your family. Don't lose faith🙏🏾
Praying for you in Jesus name !!
Heartbreaking 💔. We MUST STOP IGNORING THESE PEOPLE!
My heart goes out to Richard. Life is so unfair. He's right, people do look at them differently when they see them sitting on the ground. May god bless him with some good news and put him on a better path. I hope his sons see this interview and perhaps help in some way. My heart hurts for him.
I am glad people like him exist in the world... Faith in humanity restored. Praying for you to stand back on your feet again....
What a good man, he's been dealt some bad deals. He has more pride and self respect than many of those living the high life. I was suddenly widowed at 48, with 4 children and know life is hard. Stay positive Richard, life can suddenly turn around. Wishing you everything good. With kind wishes from England 🇬🇧 😊
I LOVE BRITS GOD BLESS FROM AMERICA
I was at a shelter on Wards Island. And he is absolutely right about the shelter system. May God bless him with great health and wealth.
Sir I worked at that shelter on wards Island I was a security guard we were just there for appearance all kinds of crazy activities were going on at the time
@@richardackerson7552 LOL!!! It's the worst. I always kept to myself. And the showers are absolutely disgusting !!! I would always shower and eat at my grandmother's crib.
Such a sweetheart of a guy. God bless him. I hope things turn around for him soon.
Richard still has his dignity and honor left. That's important.
Richard you broke this man's heart in pieces. I cry for this guy from all over here in Sweden. Aristotle really hit the nail on the head when he was asked what the greatest pain is.
"the greatest pain a man can feel ? to have insight into much. And power over nothing."
It brought tears in my eyes. What a honorable homeless man.

I was homeless for years,I was on crack,I gave up everything..God delivered me.i pray you for you brother
Thanks!
Thank you
I lost my 17 year old son. And my life is a wreckage now. I can relate.
That's awful. So sorry for your loss. God give you strength.
I hope there is radical change in this nation some day (sooner rather than later) and as a whole we prioritize taking care of and loving one another. I’m not talking about blocking off borders and not caring for our global neighbors… I mean I hope an end comes to the hoarding of wealth. It’s insane that some are able to amass more wealth than they could ever hope to spend in their lifetime, even if there only job was going out and trying to spend all this money before they leave this planet. There is enough to provide the basic necessities of life to everyone, and yet people still starve to death and die easily preventable deaths because they lack the resources to access basic healthcare.
You’ve only typed 3 short sentences and whoever you are, wherever you are, my heart aches at the mention of losing your son. If positive vibes can bless the lives of others even in some small way, I hope I can direct some your way. Wish I had ability to help or hug you. I cannot begin to imagine your heartache and struggles just to provide for yourself and keep going. Within a 5 year span, I lost my dad, sister, and uncle to suicide. Plus during that time my stepmom and grandmother that raised me died. It was a wicked hurt. What kept me going was my own 3 children and my niece(sisters daughter). I felt it was my role to mother my niece. She endured the same tragedies I did. She went on to have 3 kids in her early 20s. She was working so hard to provide for her sons. Then her youngest unexpectedly passed at a month old. I thought I had a strong understanding of grief from my own lived experiences. As I watched my niece fall apart after she lost her son, I realized there is nothing quite so intense and earth shattering as losing one’s own child. I couldn’t help her much. She got into drugs just after he passed. The state was quick to take her other two sons from her. I myself have shelter hopped with my kids and I just barely keep them fed and sheltered. It’s astounding how cruel some people are to my niece and to others that wind up homeless like this. Those who are cruel have been conned into believing there is a laziness issue that fuels americas homeless population. The stories I am aware of from my own experiences are so tragic. I have the most profound respect for anyone who has lost a child and they somehow find the courage to stay on this earth and care for themselves and others who hurt.
The day will someday come, where the compassion and understanding outweigh the lies and callousness that leave hurting people without shelter, food, healthcare, and just genuine love. I hope the help and love you surely need finds you. Not sure if I believe in a god or righteous creator anymore that knows and is concerned about each and every one of us. But, I do believe that there is fundamental goodness in people overall, and eventually the good will overtake the ugly and we will all care for one another and lift each other up. ❤
Sorry for your loss
I am so sorry for your loss. 🙏🏼❤️
I've lost every person I have ever loved through death or estrangement due to mental illness.
I have three dogs. No friends. No family. My dogs are my life. Social support is non existent. I just want me and my three girls to be ok. I can't take another loss.
You can tell that this man is a good man, with high values and morals. I wish him the best in life I really do 😢
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
yup, thoughts and prayers solve it all.
Wow you’re so nice! I’m sure he really appreciates your wishes in the UA-cam comments section. That’ll help so much! Thank you for your graciousness and generosity.
Wow look above 👆3 little demons have come out to play
What’s up with these pessimistic clowns above here attacking u for just being positive. Tf is wrong with people
2:35 I lost my mom a few years ago and how the world moved on around her made me depressed. I am fortunate not to be homeless but the look of grief around the time I stamped brings me back to the feeling of despair, disappointment and lack of empathy by others especially close ones, I feel are summed up by this man’s emotions. God bless you sir, I hope you find your path in life and stay safe.
There’s something just so pure about his soul…You deserve better and I know you sure will get it by God’s grace. Much love to you Champ❤
What a heartfelt story/message. Poor Richard! I hope he gets an opportunity to get housing that offers him the stability he is asking for and needs to establish a life for himself. I work in human services and it’s so sad, and everything he said was so true.
I am so sorry this homeless has been so targeted and abused. He is a good man, yet society is not great the way things are working. Prayers for him and EVERY ONE WHO IS sick, grieving, traumatized. I am so sorry for this inhumanity in the wake of Remembrance Day.
This is so sad .. we are giving other countries tons of money but we aren’t taking care of our own !
@@corinnetraynor1272 I feel your sadness that we aren't taking care of Americans at home. We all need love and care.
God bless you Richard and Mark. Mark is a hero for telling these people's stories that we don't think about on a daily basis but for them it's a daily struggle. Be grateful. I saw another interview with Mark where a lady said "we're all 1 bad paycheck from being homeless" and isn't that the damn truth and these people have real guts to tell everyone the real struggles of homelessnes. Thank God for Mark and this channel, just be greatful please. 🙏
OMG, Mark... I know and understand everything he is saying! He made me cry. No matter what you do to try and get help, its a road of circles and games! And the workers is so TRUE!! Case managers change ALL THE TIME, and you get so TIRED of having to tell your story, what you need, how you need help, and NEVER get a thing, only to get ANOTHER WORKER! 🙄😮💨 Its a complete waste of time and its exhausting! Ive been going through it for over a year! I got housed just over a year ago, and my health has depleted so badly! Case managers NEVER got back to me, Im on my 3rd one! The apt I live is a place that looks like a "psych hospital ground" without the fence, and its filled with drugs, crazy people and violence! It SHOULD be a psych hospital!! We cant find anything to rent and if we dont get out of here we will most likely get killed here! This is what the government does to us when we are POOR, LOW INCOME, and have to rely on the bare minimum and BELOW THE POVERTY LINE for income! They (govt) will NEVER do right by us.
Same happened to me - my husband killed by a drunk driver while he was walking to work one morning. We were living in a weekly rental place and rent was due that day. Landlord threw me and our 8 month old son out on the street 8 hours after my husband died. She wouldn’t even wait one day for my dad to wire me some money
Omg how are people so cruel. And with a little baby. I hope you’re doing better.
I am so sorry, that was just wrong
I hope you guys are ok. Karma will get that lady 😔
That’s terrible
I hate to ask what state this happened in?! They should not be able to do that to you or your kid
Richard if you get to see this, My dad is/was doing the same as you are, sometimes too ashamed to reach out and sometimes too angry, and other times it is me who feels that way towards him. Even though I dont know where he is and how he is doing, I still want him to be ok, and your kids for sure want that for you too. Under all the history, there is some love.
I hope you reconcile with your dad. Bless you.
Living about an hour away I'm in NYC often. Keeping an eye for this guy, to help him.
he usually sits outside Old Navy on 33rd st between 7th and 6th Ave in NYC. He’s usually there starting the afternoon till night.
Gosh I travelled to NYC in 2000 one of my best memories ever, was in the fashion industry on a business trip. I remember buying something in old navy. Never thought I'd see a post mentioning that spot and a human in trouble
God bless you, I hope you find him.
I pray someone will show him a little kindness like Glen Campbell used to sing.
Go find him and take him home.
What amazing man. He needs a hand up not a hand out. Just listen to him speak... A genuine person who needs a break; nothing more, nothing less. All it takes is one person with a heart and soul and a bit of compassion to lend him a hand... so sad.
Richard is a real person. Real feelings.
Just heartbreaking, I think he should definitely contact his family.
This guy is breakinv my heart. I wish I could help him.
An honour just to hear this man's story 🙏🏽
What a beautiful soul, this man got trapped in a system that fails people in need time and time again 💔 I wish him the very best and hope he gets the help he needs in finding a place off the street 🙏

I get really stressed about life a lot. Served in the military, did a tour in Afghanistan, and went to college afterwards. I'm not blaming anybody for any of my struggling, but after college it seemed like nothing I tried to accomplish worked out. Business endeavors, relationships, etc. I've worked a bunch of different jobs, lived in a few different places, and I just can't seem to get any momentum started anywhere. I have to work hard to make ends meet, but I'm able to do it.
Watching these videos truly gives me the gift of perspective. As hard as life has been, I'm not living on the streets. I'm thankful for that.
edit* genuine thanks to everybody showing support. I didn't think anybody would read this comment. I've gotten enrolled back in college and Im starting a second job in addition to my full-time job. Hopefully things turn around soon 🙏🏻 I hope y'all have a blessed day ♥️
I know what you mean. I have the same problem. I feel like I'm stagnating. Try one thing, it doesn't work. Try another thing, can't get moving. I do keep trying but yeah, I feel the same way. Who'd you serve with in Afghanistan man ? Whereabouts ?

They’re probably done giving him money.

Hi there. So my office building is near where Richard sits during the day. I just spoke with him earlier. He’s doing well despite his challenges.

He needs to let his kids know. They would help him. He even said they would. Whats more, they'd probably WANT to help. He just doesn't want them to know.

@davidyummus6259 the cost of living is ridiculous man. The only place I can afford to live in is a boarding/share house. I've tried those, they're full of drunks and iceheads who will rob you blind once you leave the house. Much safer in my car
@lailalivsdatter6660 thanks bud 👍
A car running or not is a must and a gym membership.
When he said he had sons but didn’t want to tell them because he didn’t want them to interrupt their lives that broke me. We are all told we should be self sufficient. We all need help and not asking for it costs lives.
