The trauma this brother endured. He deserves for us to support his health with the best doctors and provide him therapy and a place for him to live. I think the world would chip in to do this because HE IS SO WORTHY!!!!
His story spook to my soul. He’s story as Somali around his age is so relatable. This guy is telling our story in so many ways. I understood almost everything he said. Suck great story teller. He has away with words Ma sha allah. Allah heal him and guide him.
Reality is, the messed up beliefs Somalis have about the developed countries ruined this mans life. He got sent to Canada as a kid with no family, he had no chance from the get go! I am a new comer to Canada, I came here as a grown man, it is still hard. Sometimes you ask yourself would I rather be poor but be back home? Or would I rather be poor, miserable and alone but be in Canada. Haha! Every one that came to this country that I spoke to is miserable, we have been duuuped! I always knew life in the diaspora was overrated even before coming to Canada, but damn it is harder when you actually experience the rough life here!! Praying for you my man, Insha allah you will get through this.
This is the same thing even in Europe if you are a immigrant life's very hard and stressful. Living in Africa is way easier and better. But the problem in africa is lack of jobs.
My brother got sent to Canada when he was 14. Fast forward he is almost 50 and we don’t have much connection. I ended up in another country , my other sister is somewhere else. Depression is our companion
Oman has a beautiful soul. May Allah grant him ease and heal him. There's a sensitive soul, a good innate within him. Insha'allah he will get the help he needs and find his way back. He truly moved me. I sincerely pray for him, for all of us and anyone else that's struggling.
Reading through the torrential and a bit disorganized narrative, what strikes is how intelligent this man is and how, given other chances, he could have had a very different life. Thank you, Reed for giving unlistened people the opportunity for their voices to be heard. 🙏👏❤
@@frankwright9774hey frank, interesting take. The dude explained how he was sent at the age of 4 with his brother to Canada by themselves and later “disciplined” and had most of their paychecks taken away by their guardians at the time. How he really wasn’t raised with his other siblings and when they got older and connected they took advantage of him. How his health started to deteriorate and nobody was able to help him. To be placed under such immense pressure would break you. To literally have no one. Eventually lead him to the streets and during that time started with drugs. Drugs become the “tool” used to alleviate the immense pressure they feel. It’s clear you haven’t taken the time to listen to his hour long story and sympathize with his position as a human being. Must be nice judging others from your nice couch and iPhone.
Somali community in Toronto is very strong. They should find this guy And provide him with the help he needs. He has a beautiful mind. May Allah (swt) reduce his suffering. Thanks Reed.
I came to MPLS as a teenager but empowered myself with education and never touched drugs, so brother seek professional medical/psychological help, learn your religion/islam and practice it then trust me you will succeed!
Same to u. I came here twincities as a teenage, without my parent. I stay away to hang out with bad people. As a teenager, u have to be able to take care your self. Im back home, 8 yrs old become a fulltime Geeljire. Lol
I hope reed can show this man the overwhelming support he has in the comment section. May Allah continue to give you this positivity you still have, and hope in Allah. This will inshallah bring you back to a better version of you. Believe me you are not the only one who falls in life, others do too, they are just better at hiding it. May Allah grant you to forgive, accept and move past some things. May Allah grant you a closer relationship with Allah and the Quran. I believe in you ! I know you'll make it ! Stay strong. Love other Somalis around the west ❤️❤️
As a SOMALI CANADIAN professional who worked with refugees/IMMIGRANTS in 1980'S. 90s I could clearly say that we assisted supported and struggled to settle 65k SOMALI refugees from Kenya Egypt 🇪🇬 Uganda 🇺🇬 and ETHIOPIA 🇪🇹 UNHCR Camps.from 1989 _ 95
Reedinthestreet thank you for this amazing video please we lake to see next video omar and money for we donated what you going to do for him also please get him place he can get help and also drug addicted rehab center so he can get the help he needs thank you again keep up the work you do and be honest thank you
I thought I recognized Omar! He went to school with my older brother and I. He’s my brother’s age. I remember how nice of a guy he was and if I remember correctly he was really good at basketball! Small world! ❤
He doesn't mention his drug addiction throughout the interview until you asked in the end and that is the problem. He blames everyone but himself. I'm sure his siblings tried but because he wasn't willing to help himself, they gave up. He has to want to help himself.
Dictatorship is why Western countries have an election so they choose someone but when an ignorant wants to stay in power after a long civil war💥 who is responsible for this mess?? Even today you see some ppl who blame Somalian civil war for another ppl's
@@reedinthestreet I agree with you. Attempting to edits parts reallly takes away from the authenticity of the story. Thank you for leaving his story as it is and for checking in with him to see if he was consenting to this 😊😊
No men that's speaking about his past is gonna accept to be told to sit like a dog and he accepts just that so to be able to finish his endurance of the past life and also to capitulate to be a victim and the guest and the victim.

My advice is you find somthing better to do then taking advantage of these homless and mentally Ill people and putting them on the web. What your doing is very dangerous and disturbing, Some of these people have family that don't want there family member being exposed on the web. This is not the way to earn money keep it real.
They would be gone and forgotten about. This gets a story out, he lets them tell it hes not telling them what to say. It only takes 1 person to see this in the right spot to help him. This guy literally has nobody. Hes disconnected from the real world with a tramuatized past and no family or anyone to lean on. Its easy to tell someohe how to help when your not the one helping. Reed took him to get meds recently, what have you done for Omar
I disagree with that. His ethnicity is Somali first and foremost and what actually made me interact with this video is the fact he was a Somali brother.
@DEACON-em2gs I am talking his legal status. NOT his ETHNICITY.What attracts your readers is "somali Refugee," BUT YOU could write " Somali Canadian homeless " brother. REFUGEE CARRIES LEgal,social, AND CITIZENSHIP issues UNLIKE A Canadian citizen with full legal, social,medical and health rights.
Poor street communicational skills but not Qualified normal English communication skills. His English is poor street and disjointed English language after 20plus years 😢😢
The trauma this brother endured. He deserves for us to support his health with the best doctors and provide him therapy and a place for him to live. I think the world would chip in to do this because HE IS SO WORTHY!!!!
you pay for it
there is all that back in somalia
this is life no one owes anyone
Since arriving in Feb 1993 and still recalling all events to the small details, amazing iq. May Allah protect him forever!!!
This life story made me sit back and realize there's real struggles out there. Thank you Omar 🙏

My brother got sent to Canada when he was 14. Fast forward he is almost 50 and we don’t have much connection. I ended up in another country , my other sister is somewhere else.
Depression is our companion
14 yrs old and alone?
That was very young age for your brother
That's all of us in the Somali community in the Diaspora Unfortunately 😭😭😭😭
Do not be depressed. Exercise and social connections is the cure. Know this world is a test. God has a plan for you

This guy is so interesting. I wish him the best in life ❤
Man I wish this brother the best. When he said my mind broke in half I felt that. 😢

Ya Allah grant him ease and guide him inshAllah
Somalian parents are some of the hardest on their kids. Muslims in general are very hard on the kids
The story of guy is so touching and he is also look smart. Keep releasing videos like this and be consistent by releasing videos every week
Omar, you are a cool guy with tons of potential. We believe in you! ❤❤❤❤
nothing screams potential like meth addiction

He does want to help himself, also hes not even a drug addict tbh
@@reedinthestreetwhy do you feel he is not a drug addict? As that’s a big statement to make
@@reedinthestreetI think this UA-cam channel owner dan weyn bu ka leeyahay wiilkan. Kulahaa xashiishad kuma dhex jiro.
@@reedinthestreet He was smoking crack or meth in front of you and he’s not an addict?! That has a big impact on your mental health.
@reedinthestreet news flash. Anyone willing to openly smoke meth in public in plain view and be recorded doing so is most definitely an addict
the generation trauma from the Somali civel war is for real😢!!

The video recorder is treating this man badly, you should edit, and delete the unnecessary info, he was giving out about his family.
i feel it would be worse to edit someone's story.

This guy is speaks 100x better than me wtf
You should ask them if there’s a way to contact them and where people could? Or where we could find him to help out
