@@victoriamorgan2261 I hope for the most part that is true, but I have seen some of them neglect their dogs and put drugs first. When I was homeless, I was just out on my luck, living in my truck for a little over a year bc I couldn't find an affordable apartment/house and I always made sure I had enough money saved for when I'd be in between jobs to at least have & keep plenty of dog food on hand so my boy would never go hungry....even if it meant I had to go hungry myself.
I am worried about her little dog also 😢 i would baby sit him and love him till she gets well, but i am all the way on the other side of the country in pa.😢😢😢😢😢
Yes she does. I have a crack addict in the apt. next door and she is rough, nasty, vulgar and an all around rotten person who has harassed me for over 10 years. Heaven is one worth saving. She has a lot to offer to the world!
To all organisations out there everywhere, an animal is often the only reason for one's existence. These precious creatures are our therapists, our hope, our love, the reason why we get up in the morning, they are our everything. So when a human is in need and they have an animal friend, please support them together, because without them, we are nothing. ❤
Beautiful words, I couldn't agree more. It's so odd to me that rehabs, smelter and other places suppised to help people with addiction don't allow dogs and other animals! Theyvargue that it would be total chaos if everyone in rehab brought their dogs. Obviously it would be an extra hurdle. Nut in reality the dogs who belong to addicts are most of the time so much more well behaved than regular dogs! Those dogs have been exposed to everything imagineable and are more socialised than regular dogs ever will be. So thecwayvIbsee it, it's absolutely doable to have rehabs where dogs are allowed. If I ever needed to go a place like that, I could probably be thete 30 days without my dog but if I was going away for 3, 6, 12 months there's no way I'd go without my best friend and the reason I bother to live. People whonare homeless can't just place the dog either, because they often don't have any stable people in their lives to take care of a dog. It's really such a shame that this even is a subject and it's preventing people from going to rehab. Thank you for being an animal friend and a caring person.
Amen. It’s there security,Love and Companion. I know because I had a brother in this predicament and it was him and his Dog and that’s how we found my brother. We brought our brother home only to lose him 2weeks later. The good lord called him home but he gave us that last time to be with him. I truly have a big heart for you mark for bringing awareness to this crazy madness out there. My 🙏🏼 and thoughts go out to this Beautiful lady.
Dear Heaven, we knew each other growing up. I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am to hear about F passing and your mom having dementia; and that you've suffered so much. I deeply regret not keeping up with you. I hope you find better days. p.s. I'm sorry to tell you that N died of an overdose. Wish I could talk to you about it. Your friend C.
I hope she reads this, because we all need someone real who actually cares and have the time for us. The world today and the people in it are just so shallow, egoistic and just concerned about them. It's all about money, career and material shit, a fasade and a fucking play. I feel like I'm part of a horrible movie and I'm the only one who hasn't read the script. I'm sorry, this wasn't supposed to be about me. I just really could relate to her because I also often have the same thoughts about if I'll be here if something happened to my dog and Ma. Therefore I thought it was suchba nice thing for you to react out to her. I wish someone would do that for me. I just need to say that I hope you don't blame yourself or anything because the two of you lost contact. Being close to an addict with mental health issues like her, is very hard. I've had wo partners who were deep into addiction and the last relationship really took me down into a deep, dark hole which I still haven't got out of. People say they want help and obviously I believe them and wanted to help. But Inwas naive because I thought itvwas as easy as getting them into rehab and then live happily ever after. Damn, was I wrong! I don't know why people are unable to accept help, but most addicts are. It's extremely complicated and complex and almost impossible for others to be part of. At least it was for me. I'd just started on a Bachelor degree and was at the best place in my life since birth after struggling with myself for almost 30 years. So I decided to rescue an addict. Looking back it must've been some sort of self sabotage because I wasn't used to being at suchva good place. It's just so fucked up. However, I'll stop talking now. I hope that she goes to rehab and gets the help to figure out her issues and get her depression under control. Unless her mental health is taken care of she'll never be able to stay sober. But with a good theraphists she can get a good life. I hope the two of you connect again and something good comrs out of it for both parts! Bless you for being a warm and caring person in a world full of machines rather than people. I wish you the best, lots of love all the way from Norway ❤️
This one hit hard. A lot of these interviews goes to show us we are all a couple bad decisions away from a terrible situation. It’s also so selfless she won’t go to the shelter without her dog and still cares for him under the worst of circumstances. It shows her humanity. Heaven, if you read this, I pray you take Mark’s offer. Find someone trusted to take your dog. I’m sure Mark would help with that too. I can’t wait to see your update in a few months. God speed ❤
Yea you are right about 'a couple bad decisions' if I 1. Start smoking crack & 2. don't go to work this could would be me but I'm not doin either 1 of those that would be ignorant so I'm good I guess
@@jamiejones6994 lol you clearly are ignorant based on your response. She fell in love with someone who did her wrong and led her down the wrong path. Sometimes people choose to trust and they’re done wrong. She didn’t just pick up a crack pipe one day. Hopefully you find some empathy one day, if not you’ll be begging someone else for it.
I hope Mark got this lovely lady a room. And also gave her the proper resources to get into a stable living situation. Now this lady needs and WANTS the help.
My dog just passed at 13. That unconditional love kept me alive and helped me through some very tough times. I’d never known a bond like that, a love so pure. The way she tears up about her dog lets me know that it’s the same way for her, but ten fold.
My condolences and you're not alone because I lost my beautiful dog of nearly 14 years in Oct suddenly and it was the day I came home from my father's funeral. It's understood the bond she has with her fur baby because they're special pure souls. I pray she and her dog get what they need and stay together 💖. I'm sending you comfort and strength because its needed everyday 💐.
Thank you Mark for being such a kind person. From just giving people someone to talk to and genuinely listen to lending your hand and resources to change people lives. You are a great human and this world is a better place with you
@ropeyzkittlez9703 How is it possible for somebody to be as stupid as you are, yet be so confident pretending you know a damn thing? Lol. Go back to school, dumbass.
@@ropeyzkittlez9703 please, who has he exploited of the hundreds upon hundreds of people who’ve sat before him ? At the least, it’s a quid pro quo interaction, many guests seeking Mark out, knowing they’ll get a stipend, and at the most, when Mark senses an interviewee truly wants to change, he goes above and beyond to get that person help.

Heaven don't give up. There is so much life ahead of you. I have made bad decisions in life and lost everything before. I have also ended up on the streets too. I realized I could not go it alone and was able to eventually get the help I needed. I hope you take Mark's offer of help now and you get the medical care you need too. Sending you my love and prayers 🙏❤️. You can do this.
We need a follow up on heaven. She was meant to find Mark. There’s such a goodness and hope still left in this lady and sometimes all it needs is a helping hand. A beautiful soul who both desires the help and deserves the help. You got this!! 🙏❤️.x
What a doll Heaven is! There needs to be more quality shelters and rehabs that accept pets. How do they accept co-dependent addict couples but not an animal? I hope that she and her pup find a way and she gets back to her normal life, she so deserves it.
Marc, you are a unicorn. Such a kind person. This woman has the same warmness to her. You're offering to help her can turn things around for her. Your work is a living example of so much and more. Love instead of fear based.
What a genuine woman. I felt so much of a need to give her a hug. She’s so sure of what she’s saying yet her mannerisms are definitely timid, nervous, and embarrassed. I hope true honest love finds her. And I don’t mean some dude, but just anything, that can save her and her dog. “I don’t feel that I really have any mistakes, it’s just survival.”
Perpetual shame comes with the addiction. That's one of the reasons it's so hard to shake. You're ashamed that you've become what you've become, so you keep doing the drug because 1: you believe you deserve to suffer and 2: because it allows to you forget about all the shame for a few minutes. That was my biggest obstacle to getting clean. But I've been sober for 11 years, so it's definitely a surmountable mental hurdle.
@@JediMentat You're absolutely right. During my addiction, I would always think to myself "I'm just gonna let it kill me slowly" "I don't care" ...I really didn't care if it did. (Over 10yrs clean now) looking back, I can pinpoint the very issues I had.
@@wesleyAlan9179for you girls I agree 💯 with everything you said. I was in active addiction for over 23 years and at 50 I got clean. I'll have 4 years in June and I dk why I had the will power and why couldn't I achieve this at a much younger age. My life is so different now but I'm not gonna say it's beyond my wildest dreams but I had a family who never gave up on me but I'm so grateful they didn't unfortunately my mom never got to see me clean but I know she's watching over me and she's proud shit I'm proud My sister and I are closer than ever and she's my best friend. I also have a 17 year old daughter and she knows it all and her and I are closer than ever and I never want that feeling of despair. But I totally understand where you're coming from ❤ Also I did not use through my pregnancy and I was carrying a life inside of me and I knew I didn't want my baby addictedto drugs so when I found out I was pregnant I was 6 weeks and I went through it but again I'm so grateful I didn't
Having a cat with a serious illness got me off addictive substances, more than anything else! No way i could keep spending so much money just to not feel like 💩, when my cat felt like 💩 AND spending money on him would actually help! He has, since, passed away, but was the closest and most appreciative friend I ever had!
Heaven you are beautiful inside and out. You are only 40 years old!! Much of life is ahead of you even though right now it may not seem like that. I’m so glad you have your loving and loyal dog. PLEASE go to rehab-I can see a desire to change and have a life!! It’s still possible. Hold on and take Marks help!! You got this and thank you so much for having the courage to share your story. 🙏❤️.x
She’s a natural beauty …with a beautiful soul . Loving her dog like she does is truly a beautiful thing in a person . I pray she can get her act together . Mark thank you for any help you give her . ❤️
Wow thank you for sharing your story and being so honest. I feel your pain. I was on crack for 12 years. Lost everything but my heartbeat. I existed and that was about it. Ran with dangerous men & women. Did and seen things I thought I'd never see or do. But it's my story and I had to get my shit together or else. I lost a house, an amazing high paying job. My 2 children hardly speak to me. And I've been clean and sober since 2015. Recovery is unbelievable. Today I am living like I was supposed to all along. I have a great job (not nearly what I had lost), I pay my rent, my bills and I eat fairly regularly LOL all those things were optional for MANY years. So YOU can turn it around Heaven. You absolutely deserve it too. You are a stunning woman. And 40 is the new 30, but I can so see yourself getting clean & sober sister. I blamed EVERYTHING on EVERYONE else. Nope. I had to own my part. I didn't like it one bit but the shit I allowed to happen to me, I did just that. I allowed it. I was too sick to put up healthy boundaries. I didn't even know what boundaries were?!?! You can do this lady. You have to want it. Not just talk about It. Take action. Tomorrow can be the first day of the rest of your life. Love you & praying for you sweetie ❤❤❤ 🙏 🙏 🙏 from Canada 🇨🇦
Heaven and her son/dog needs to be put in a very safe environment. When she said she wants to work and be productive in society, that is refreshing to hear. However, Heaven please try your hardest to get off drugs/crack. You can be the best version of yourself and strive to stay alive. Good luck!
I really hope she gets the help needed and there is an update very soon. She has the most beautiful aura about her and it’s so refreshing to hear someone treat their dog as one of their top priorities (hopefully we can meet her dog next time). ❤
Its capitalism. Ever since they outsourced single breadwinner manufacturing jobs and replaced them with low end service jobs,,,,, Both Parents have had to work.......... and Financial strain is a leading cause of divorce. The rise in divorce and broken homes and economic uncertainty leads to increased crime and drug use........... it is not rocket science. At the same time that corporate profits have reach all time highs, and worker productivity has steadily risen since the 60s,,,,,,,,,,, Wages have flatlined and real wealth has declined. The gap between the ultra rich and everyone else is the largest its ever been.@@mrsg.9273
I was not expecting that. Heaven's mouth opened and I heard the voice of an angel. Please believe you are worth loving. You are loved. You are worthy ❤️
I understand completely where she is coming from with her dog being her entire world. I was also in the depths of my addiction and I had my Pitbull baby his name was Onix since literally the day he was born was there for his first breath and his very last breath. HE was my “home” and the my consistent person/“thing” in my life for 13 years. He went thru it ALL by my side. My happiest of days and was there with me a few times when I hit rock bottom and we had to live out of my car a couple times. He was also my child and I would NEVER have left him somewhere or with anyone so I could be comfortable if he couldn’t be right there with me & I know from my own experience it’s true shelters not allowing pets especially a 100 pound male pitbull like I had. He lived to be 13 he passed away 8/2/21, 2 months before my daughter was born. I still miss him every single day of my life. Anyways, she seems like a smart woman who is motivated and wanting to put the effort in to getting sober and off the street & in reality that’s all you need and if mark can provide her the help with connections to get into a rehab I imagine she will absolutely thrive! I’m praying you and your sweet doggie get thru this & make it happy, healthy, & successfully on the other side TOGETHER. All love xoxo🫶🫶
I hope she gets the help she needs. I could see her working in a shelter with animals. Doing something that brings her joy. And doing something that gives animals a second chance. Thank you, Mark, for seeing something good in this person and offering help. I'd love a follow-up.
Anyone who is willing to manipulate for gain is the most dangerous people I have come across . They regard people as throw away items . Her ‘’vibe’ is so nice,and being in a place , and situation where no human laws of consciousness applies must be hell. She explains it so well.
I’m so glad you have your dog. My dog saved my life too. I understood that I had to take care of my dog and that meant not killing myself. I got clean and I hope you can find a program. Life will be so much better. You won’t want to die anymore ✌️🥰✌️
This one literally made me cry. Such a bright, smart, articulate woman. So heartbreaking that she ended up at such a young age on the streets .Hate that some scumbag took advantage of her. I want so much to just give her a hug and cry with her and try to give her some kind of help. I hope she finds peace and love!
I was abused on a scale only a few know. I escaped to an abuse center that gave me resources to start over. Now I’m a self-made millionaire. There is hope! ❤💪🙏
She’s beautiful, inside and out. I pray for her and hope she can get clean and have a safe, stable place to live so she can live the life that she truly wants and deserves ♥️
Heaven I pray 🙏 you get it together. Your beautiful 😍 and smart. I believe in you. It's so sad and my heart breaks 💔 for her. Thank you Heaven for sharing your story and thank you Mark for always being so kind and caring,,, your one amazing man ❤. I loved her and she's definitely got a story to tell. She's so polite and her being a dog lover speaks volumes imo
Heaven you are stronger than you know I cant wait to see the follow up interview when your off skid row with your little doggy lots of love from Ireland , thanks Mark as always
Something about this one got me. She is a beautiful, loving soul, and I hope that she gets the help she needs. I would love to see an update. She has so much potential.
Heaven.. Absolutely gorgeous lady... inside and out! She could definitely be a model...She has beautiful eyes, skin, and teeth! This is one of my favorite interviews. I hope there is an update on her. Somebody please get this lady away from Skid Row and back to a normal life she is so deserving of. Prayers going up for this precious soul..🙏💙
Heaven, you can make it! My furbabies are my children!! Please Mark help this beautiful woman and her baby!! Thank you Mark for helping all these good people that need help!!❤❤❤❤
Mark, really enjoyed your back and forth with this beautiful lady much more interesting most ppl just ramble unabated your trying to salvage this lady from deep despair was simply huge Good Job
I use to smoke for since 17 until 31 but i stopped a year and a half ago . I have copd now and chronic bronchitis and am on my death bed . I prayed to God and God saved me from this addiction. No rehab, nothing. God. God is the greatest! < 3 i cant thank him enough. And day by day though my breathing is getting better . But i have good days and bad days.
Rebecca is not ready to change, she is young and still finding her way. In time if she doesn't kill herself then she may be able to see things from afar and accept help and change. Bottom line people have to want to change more than they want anything else.
I’m a social worker from the French speaking part of Canada .. we call it “conjugal violence or violence conjugal) and yes of course financial control is a part of it. But people would be surprised to know that almost all women / men who are victims of “partner violence” did / do not know that finances are a huge part of partner violence… it’s one of the main factors of control people use to control / hurt people . I’m so sorry he took your kindness (abusers look for kind people) and used it to control you and took what your father left for you. I hope you can get good therapy so people do not manipulate and use your kindness / generosity against you 😢❤
She appears so genuine and sweet. Thank you, Mark, for offering to get her 20 piece nuggets and resourses to get her help and/or housing. I dont quite understand how she ended up here. She doesn't fit the "norm" And...these women who must sell their bodies as a survival mechanism...it is heartbreaking 💔 😢 And these men who hurt women physically, emotionally or mentally ... i just can't go there. Sweetheart, i wish you the very best! Heaven is a good name for you, big 🫂
Thank you for saying that. I was just coming to leave the same comment. Something about her is just so captivating. I truly hope she is able to come back and get on a great path with her dog who she obviously adores.❤
She’s a natural beauty and she has a warm smile. It’s ashame that she is going through so much pain. I think she will be fine if Mark gives her a little bit of help or a stepping stone to a better life. Best of luck to you Heaven. Praying for you and your Fur Baby!!!❤🙏🏽🙌🏽☀️
Heaven is a very intelligent woman and so deserving of someone to help her. I was so happy to hear Mark say he would. I really like her. She is someone who wants to change, and to get help, and will embrace it, unlike Rebecca. I will need an update on her!
I want to hug her, people need a second chance, love, understanding, someone to talk to me because we all know we are messed up and need to vent Peace and blessings to her Love
Heaven you are such a beautiful soul. The love you have for your dog is heartwarming. I wish you so many positive things in your future🩷. Things will get better. Sending you so much love 🩷
Yes Heaven. Go with your gut always. It brought you to Mark. Thank you Mark for helping her, my instinct feels like she and her pup will be okay. Love to you both.
Her "light-hearted" comment about what her biggest regret it is and that being "living" was likely not a joke but perhaps a way to cope in adding levity to the conversation. I think more people than we'd like to think are one bad decision (or medical issue) away from being put in a similar position.
This one hit hard and I know you can't do this forever, Mark. Thank you for giving Heaven a voice and for helping her. I normally don't comment or donate to GoFundMe, but I am pulling for Heaven to find her way out. She's a gentle soul.
I hope her dog stays alive long enough for her to get the help she needs to keep her from suicide, he can save her life. What a beautiful person.
Do I know you, lol?
It’s interesting, homeless people often take care of their dogs better than those with everything.

Yes she does she seems so sweet I wish I can help her

Damn, was I wrong!
I don't know why people are unable to accept help, but most addicts are.
It's extremely complicated and complex and almost impossible for others to be part of. At least it was for me. I'd just started on a Bachelor degree and was at the best place in my life since birth after struggling with myself for almost 30 years.
So I decided to rescue an addict.
Looking back it must've been some sort of self sabotage because I wasn't used to being at suchva good place.
It's just so fucked up.
However, I'll stop talking now.
I hope that she goes to rehab and gets the help to figure out her issues and get her depression under control. Unless her mental health is taken care of she'll never be able to stay sober.
But with a good theraphists she can get a good life.

Real. Thank you Mark for offering help. Heaven has a hope.
❤mine too ❤ best to heaven finding her way😊
Probably my favorite interview💙
Such a gentle soul. I pray she gets the help and support she needs.
Heaven don't give up. There is so much life ahead of you. I have made bad decisions in life and lost everything before. I have also ended up on the streets too. I realized I could not go it alone and was able to eventually get the help I needed. I hope you take Mark's offer of help now and you get the medical care you need too. Sending you my love and prayers 🙏❤️. You can do this.
So glad for you! Proud of you!
@@maggiemae0725 Thank you so much that's so nice of you 🙂❤️
We need a follow up on heaven. She was meant to find Mark. There’s such a goodness and hope still left in this lady and sometimes all it needs is a helping hand.
A beautiful soul who both desires the help and deserves the help.
You got this!!
🙏❤️.x
Mark likes this woman. Helping this lady will be a good thing.

What a doll Heaven is! There needs to be more quality shelters and rehabs that accept pets. How do they accept co-dependent addict couples but not an animal? I hope that she and her pup find a way and she gets back to her normal life, she so deserves it.
Marc, you are a unicorn. Such a kind person. This woman has the same warmness to her. You're offering to help her can turn things around for her. Your work is a living example of so much and more. Love instead of fear based.
I would love to see an update on Heaven. She seems so gentle.
What a genuine woman. I felt so much of a need to give her a hug. She’s so sure of what she’s saying yet her mannerisms are definitely timid, nervous, and embarrassed. I hope true honest love finds her. And I don’t mean some dude, but just anything, that can save her and her dog. “I don’t feel that I really have any mistakes, it’s just survival.”
Perpetual shame comes with the addiction. That's one of the reasons it's so hard to shake. You're ashamed that you've become what you've become, so you keep doing the drug because 1: you believe you deserve to suffer and 2: because it allows to you forget about all the shame for a few minutes. That was my biggest obstacle to getting clean. But I've been sober for 11 years, so it's definitely a surmountable mental hurdle.
@@JediMentat
You're absolutely right. During my addiction, I would always think to myself "I'm just gonna let it kill me slowly" "I don't care" ...I really didn't care if it did.
(Over 10yrs clean now) looking back, I can pinpoint the very issues I had.
@@wesleyAlan9179for you girls I agree 💯 with everything you said. I was in active addiction for over 23 years and at 50 I got clean. I'll have 4 years in June and I dk why I had the will power and why couldn't I achieve this at a much younger age. My life is so different now but I'm not gonna say it's beyond my wildest dreams but I had a family who never gave up on me but I'm so grateful they didn't unfortunately my mom never got to see me clean but I know she's watching over me and she's proud shit I'm proud
My sister and I are closer than ever and she's my best friend. I also have a 17 year old daughter and she knows it all and her and I are closer than ever and I never want that feeling of despair. But I totally understand where you're coming from ❤
Also I did not use through my pregnancy and I was carrying a life inside of me and I knew I didn't want my baby addictedto drugs so when I found out I was pregnant I was 6 weeks and I went through it but again I'm so grateful I didn't
@@JediMentat hey congratulations 11 years is a long time. That’s amazing.
@@estephaniaquiroz1671 thanks 🙏
Felt that, can so relate. “Literally don’t want to be here, but my dog needs me”
Having a cat with a serious illness got me off addictive substances, more than anything else! No way i could keep spending so much money just to not feel like 💩, when my cat felt like 💩 AND spending money on him would actually help! He has, since, passed away, but was the closest and most appreciative friend I ever had!
Heaven you are beautiful inside and out. You are only 40 years old!! Much of life is ahead of you even though right now it may not seem like that. I’m so glad you have your loving and loyal dog. PLEASE go to rehab-I can see a desire to change and have a life!! It’s still possible. Hold on and take Marks help!! You got this and thank you so much for having the courage to share your story. 🙏❤️.x
Totally understandable and so sweet. Love to see an update!
She’s a natural beauty …with a beautiful soul . Loving her dog like she does is truly a beautiful thing in a person . I pray she can get her act together . Mark thank you for any help you give her . ❤️
I hope she makes it out. Thank you Mark for being the person you are. I would love to see this woman get help and see a follow up. ❤
Wow thank you for sharing your story and being so honest. I feel your pain. I was on crack for 12 years. Lost everything but my heartbeat. I existed and that was about it. Ran with dangerous men & women. Did and seen things I thought I'd never see or do. But it's my story and I had to get my shit together or else. I lost a house, an amazing high paying job. My 2 children hardly speak to me. And I've been clean and sober since 2015. Recovery is unbelievable. Today I am living like I was supposed to all along. I have a great job (not nearly what I had lost), I pay my rent, my bills and I eat fairly regularly LOL all those things were optional for MANY years.
So YOU can turn it around Heaven. You absolutely deserve it too. You are a stunning woman. And 40 is the new 30, but I can so see yourself getting clean & sober sister.
I blamed EVERYTHING on EVERYONE else. Nope. I had to own my part. I didn't like it one bit but the shit I allowed to happen to me, I did just that. I allowed it. I was too sick to put up healthy boundaries. I didn't even know what boundaries were?!?!
You can do this lady. You have to want it. Not just talk about It. Take action.
Tomorrow can be the first day of the rest of your life. Love you & praying for you sweetie ❤❤❤ 🙏 🙏 🙏 from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you Mark for offering to help her.
Heaven and her son/dog needs to be put in a very safe environment. When she said she wants to work and be productive in society, that is refreshing to hear. However, Heaven please try your hardest to get off drugs/crack. You can be the best version of yourself and strive to stay alive. Good luck!
She is a lost good soul. Thank you for offering to help. Hope her life gets better
I really hope she gets the help needed and there is an update very soon. She has the most beautiful aura about her and it’s so refreshing to hear someone treat their dog as one of their top priorities (hopefully we can meet her dog next time). ❤
She is amazing and important in this world and being such a dog lover that tells me she's got a heart of gold..l love her
Drugs are ruining our Country
Its capitalism. Ever since they outsourced single breadwinner manufacturing jobs and replaced them with low end service jobs,,,,, Both Parents have had to work.......... and Financial strain is a leading cause of divorce. The rise in divorce and broken homes and economic uncertainty leads to increased crime and drug use........... it is not rocket science.
At the same time that corporate profits have reach all time highs, and worker productivity has steadily risen since the 60s,,,,,,,,,,, Wages have flatlined and real wealth has declined. The gap between the ultra rich and everyone else is the largest its ever been.@@mrsg.9273
@@mrsg.9273. Childhood trauma comes before drugs.
She was an awesome person i would love to see an update of her doing better shes so pretty
I was not expecting that. Heaven's mouth opened and I heard the voice of an angel. Please believe you are worth loving. You are loved. You are worthy ❤️
I understand completely where she is coming from with her dog being her entire world. I was also in the depths of my addiction and I had my Pitbull baby his name was Onix since literally the day he was born was there for his first breath and his very last breath. HE was my “home” and the my consistent person/“thing” in my life for 13 years. He went thru it ALL by my side. My happiest of days and was there with me a few times when I hit rock bottom and we had to live out of my car a couple times. He was also my child and I would NEVER have left him somewhere or with anyone so I could be comfortable if he couldn’t be right there with me & I know from my own experience it’s true shelters not allowing pets especially a 100 pound male pitbull like I had. He lived to be 13 he passed away 8/2/21, 2 months before my daughter was born. I still miss him every single day of my life. Anyways, she seems like a smart woman who is motivated and wanting to put the effort in to getting sober and off the street & in reality that’s all you need and if mark can provide her the help with connections to get into a rehab I imagine she will absolutely thrive! I’m praying you and your sweet doggie get thru this & make it happy, healthy, & successfully on the other side TOGETHER. All love xoxo🫶🫶
I hope she gets the help she needs. I could see her working in a shelter with animals. Doing something that brings her joy. And doing something that gives animals a second chance. Thank you, Mark, for seeing something good in this person and offering help. I'd love a follow-up.
I really hope she gets the help she deserves. She has a gentle soul. Heaven if you read this, you are in my prayers!!
Anyone who is willing to manipulate for gain is the most dangerous people I have come across . They regard people as throw away items . Her ‘’vibe’ is so nice,and being in a place , and situation where no human laws of consciousness applies must be hell. She explains it so well.
She deserves so much more than her situation.
@@apaaaa. People rip people off and move, who do have a conscience and are desperate, too.
I feel like she's one chance away from getting her life back on track. I hope she can get some help. You are worthy and loved Heaven!
I’m so glad you have your dog. My dog saved my life too. I understood that I had to take care of my dog and that meant not killing myself. I got clean and I hope you can find a program. Life will be so much better. You won’t want to die anymore ✌️🥰✌️
This one literally made me cry. Such a bright, smart, articulate woman. So heartbreaking that she ended up at such a young age on the streets .Hate that some scumbag took advantage of her. I want so much to just give her a hug and cry with her and try to give her some kind of help. I hope she finds peace and love!
💯🤞❗
You have tons of potential, girl! I'm praying for you to find a better life and look forward to an update!
I was abused on a scale only a few know. I escaped to an abuse center that gave me resources to start over. Now I’m a self-made millionaire. There is hope! ❤💪🙏
you should share your story
You are both beautiful, if you shared your situation, it could help many people.
Pleeease share your story! It can give people hope 🙏
La de dah
Oh I wish I could help this lady and give her a hug. Mark, you are such an angel for offering her help!!!!!
She's an amazing person, trauma is hell, it destroys souls. I pray for her.
There is so much pain in each of her smiles and laughs. She is such a beautiful human. I would want to be her friend.
She’s beautiful, inside and out. I pray for her and hope she can get clean and have a safe, stable place to live so she can live the life that she truly wants and deserves ♥️
Heaven I pray 🙏 you get it together. Your beautiful 😍 and smart. I believe in you. It's so sad and my heart breaks 💔 for her. Thank you Heaven for sharing your story and thank you Mark for always being so kind and caring,,, your one amazing man ❤. I loved her and she's definitely got a story to tell. She's so polite and her being a dog lover speaks volumes imo
i want to hug her so, so badly. what a sweet soul 😭
Heaven you are stronger than you know I cant wait to see the follow up interview when your off skid row with your little doggy lots of love from Ireland , thanks Mark as always
What a beautiful soul. Stay Golden Heaven. You mean something.
She seems like such a kind, gentle person. And really seems like she's ready to leave that shit way of life behind.
Something about this one got me. She is a beautiful, loving soul, and I hope that she gets the help she needs. I would love to see an update. She has so much potential.
This woman is such a dear soul. Mark, I hope you’re able to help her.
Heaven.. Absolutely gorgeous lady... inside and out! She could definitely be a model...She has beautiful eyes, skin, and teeth! This is one of my favorite interviews. I hope there is an update on her. Somebody please get this lady away from Skid Row and back to a normal life she is so deserving of. Prayers going up for this precious soul..🙏💙
I truly adore this woman and I pray that she finds the strength to move past this time in her life. 🙏
She seems like such a kind and gentle soul.
her portrait is one of the most beautiful by far
Absolutly amazing Interview...hope she turns the corner and becomes the sucsess she deserves to be ,,,,
Love her personality, vibe, so much smiling in spite of some of the discussions. A beautiful soul.
Heaven, you can make it! My furbabies are my children!! Please Mark help this beautiful woman and her baby!! Thank you Mark for helping all these good people that need help!!❤❤❤❤
I don’t know that I’ve ever wanted to wrap my arms around someone so much. I can’t wait to see what she’s able to accomplish with Mark’s help. ❤
Mark, really enjoyed your back and forth with this beautiful lady much more interesting most ppl just ramble unabated your trying to salvage this lady from deep despair was simply huge Good Job
She is a lovely woman. Very kind demeanor. I wish her all the best ❤️🌹
She’s very clear and honest. When she’s ready to get healthy, she will do very well.
She is so delightful to listen to, I am so please to know Mark is able to help her. A true gem
I use to smoke for since 17 until 31 but i stopped a year and a half ago . I have copd now and chronic bronchitis and am on my death bed . I prayed to God and God saved me from this addiction. No rehab, nothing. God. God is the greatest! < 3 i cant thank him enough. And day by day though my breathing is getting better . But i have good days and bad days.
Amen 🙌🏻
I hope she gets help, she seems so sweet i just wanna give her a big hug
Help someone like her because Rebecca clearly doesn’t want it .
What a thought. But does she wait help?
Rebecca is not ready to change, she is young and still finding her way. In time if she doesn't kill herself then she may be able to see things from afar and accept help and change. Bottom line people have to want to change more than they want anything else.
She is a Beautiful young Lady. She is very smart and caring.
Thanks for helping her Mark! I hope she can get to the rehab she talked about. Whishing her all the best! x
Beautiful woman with a beautiful heart. The world needs more people like you - don't give up ❤❤.
What a lovely person Heaven is ..I really wish her and her dog the very best as she ,they deserve it❤
Rooting for you Heaven. You’re a beautiful soul
I’m a social worker from the French speaking part of Canada .. we call it “conjugal violence or violence conjugal) and yes of course financial control is a part of it. But people would be surprised to know that almost all women / men who are victims of “partner violence” did / do not know that finances are a huge part of partner violence… it’s one of the main factors of control people use to control / hurt people . I’m so sorry he took your kindness (abusers look for kind people) and used it to control you and took what your father left for you. I hope you can get good therapy so people do not manipulate and use your kindness / generosity against you 😢❤
Oui, oui🇨🇦
She appears so genuine and sweet. Thank you, Mark, for offering to get her 20 piece nuggets and resourses to get her help and/or housing.
I dont quite understand how she ended up here. She doesn't fit the "norm"
And...these women who must sell their bodies as a survival mechanism...it is heartbreaking 💔 😢
And these men who hurt women physically, emotionally or mentally ... i just can't go there.
Sweetheart, i wish you the very best!
Heaven is a good name for you, big 🫂
She’s beautiful
I agree
Thank you for saying that. I was just coming to leave the same comment. Something about her is just so captivating. I truly hope she is able to come back and get on a great path with her dog who she obviously adores.❤
She’s a natural beauty and she has a warm smile. It’s ashame that she is going through so much pain. I think she will be fine if Mark gives her a little bit of help or a stepping stone to a better life. Best of luck to you Heaven. Praying for you and your Fur Baby!!!❤🙏🏽🙌🏽☀️
She is beautiful. And I'd have faith in her. There's a strength there. She loves her dog; so bless her and her canine guardian angel.💚☘️
I look at her and think of Angelina Jolie.
She is such a a kind, sweet soul...I wish the best for her
"My dog needs me." I can totally relate to that. I make sure I have a pet so I won't commit suicide. Their needing me gives me a reason to live.
I understand this, and I bet your pets have wonderful lives ! Spoil them everyday. Best of luck 🖤

We need more of Heaven! What a deeply beautiful human being
How can you not like this person. Look up and you can find life, abundant life. I look forward to seeing an update on her>
She would be such an interesting actress to see on big screens, her facial features seem so familiar and deep!!
She reminds me of a girl I saw on American Idol. Nervous, no confidence, I think she sang an Etta James song and blew the judges away.
wow, this interview is one of my fave...maybe its her love for her dog! she deserves so much more x keep going Heaven and Lord B xxx
I look forward to a follow up video! She has such promise!
She's so pretty! And sweet ❤ I pray good things happen for her!
Heaven is a very intelligent woman and so deserving of someone to help her. I was so happy to hear Mark say he would. I really like her. She is someone who wants to change, and to get help, and will embrace it, unlike Rebecca. I will need an update on her!
I send Heaven and her dog much love. I wish them both a safe place to live. And to get the decent life they deserve.
Good on you for helping her Mark
😢😢😢 she's suuuuch a sweet and darling lady. I just love her ❤❤❤ hugs and best wishes from Cork Ireland 🇮🇪 xxx
Such a beautiful soul! I wish her dreams will come true
I see so much pain in her. Sending love and prayers ❤🙏🏽
I feel deeply for this woman. Mark, this is a person to help... ❤
I think you time, energy and money is much better spent on helping people like this woman than the ungrateful, entitled Rebecca.
I want to hug her, people need a second chance, love, understanding, someone to talk to me because we all know we are messed up and need to vent
Peace and blessings to her
Love
Heaven you are such a beautiful soul. The love you have for your dog is heartwarming. I wish you so many positive things in your future🩷. Things will get better. Sending you so much love 🩷
Yes Heaven. Go with your gut always. It brought you to Mark. Thank you Mark for helping her, my instinct feels like she and her pup will be okay. Love to you both.
Her "light-hearted" comment about what her biggest regret it is and that being "living" was likely not a joke but perhaps a way to cope in adding levity to the conversation. I think more people than we'd like to think are one bad decision (or medical issue) away from being put in a similar position.
I love her, such a gentle soul
This one hit hard and I know you can't do this forever, Mark. Thank you for giving Heaven a voice and for helping her. I normally don't comment or donate to GoFundMe, but I am pulling for Heaven to find her way out. She's a gentle soul.
