Homeless man had a nervous breakdown after his wife and daughter died.

- In 2008, Mark's wife and daughter died, and shortly after he had a nervous breakdown. Mark then spent seven months in a hospital getting better. Mark then found out that no matter how legitimate a reason, that if you don't show up to work or pay your bills for several months, you lose everything!
Mark then spent a year homeless. He got a job washing dishes at a deli and worked his way off the streets. Business slowed, and he ended back out on the streets again.
Mark says that this time around he still has faith in himself, but he has lost faith in the system. Mark encourages us all to stand together because he says it's a human issue not a homeless issue. Mark believes that we all should have the basic essentials of a house and food, and I could not agree more.
Mark is a kind and gentle soul. He is someone who has "slipped through the gaps of the safety net", and should have never ended up on the streets. Sadly, I hear stories like his often. We must do better in mental heath services and we most certainly need to keep people who are trying to get better from ending up on the streets, where many just get worse!

About Invisible People:
Since its launch in November 2008, Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vlog (video blog) gets up close and personal with veterans, mothers, children, layoff victims and others who have been forced onto the streets by a variety of circumstances. Each week, they’re on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as UA-cam, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.
Invisible People goes beyond the rhetoric, statistics, political debates, and limitations of social services to examine poverty in America via a medium that audiences of all ages can understand, and can’t ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nation’s most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath - its founder - and brings into focus the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions face each day. One story at a time, videos posted on InvisiblePeople.tv shatter the stereotypes of America’s homeless, force shifts in perception and deliver a call to action that is being answered by national brands, nonprofit organizations and everyday citizens now committed to opening their eyes and their hearts to those too often forgotten.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.
Most people don't realize how easy it is to become homeless. Lose your income - lose your home - becomes homeLESS........... That's it. It can happen to anyone.
It happened to me. I had a breakdown, was in a hospital, then rehab. Ran out of short term disability thru my employer, lost my job, 8 months later, lost my apartment. Back in psyche hospital, then homeless. A family member, 2000 miles away, offered to let me stay with them. I lost my pets - they were my babies. I still had my car, but lost that when the bank finally found me - I drove to that family member, slept in my car while on the road. I now have a home with my family member. After 18 months, I now have a job. I struggle every day with severe depression, anxiety and PTSD. I am trying to get my life back, saving for my own apartment, but am scared that I will lose everything again.
Good luck to you.
Martha Johnson Good luck gorgeous.
bless you and much PEACE yourway
And especially if owning your home costs an arm and a leg, which is true for most city dwellers.
No one should have their lives destroyed because they needed time and treatment to cope with their immense grief. I feel for this man.
I work for a municipal government that gives its employees only 3 days of bereavement if the person who died is a cousin/aunt/grandparent, and 1 week for a closer family member such as a parent/sibling/spouse.
Never quite understood how the employer can decide how long its employees should grieve. I've seen my own co-workers unable to focus on their job the week they come back, or on the verge of crying.
Exactly, who are we to decide. He suffered the huge hit of the loss of life and love, then it continued with the loss of his home, job and security. Which threw into the streets. Yet he still strives forward with hope! I’m sincerely humbled by him, he is a King among us!
In Europe you can get a temporary work inhability that grants you with most part of your monthly income while you recover from an injury or severe depression. It is also illegal for your company to fire you while it lasts. I am no leftist. But I am glad to live in europe, what you guys have there in the US is a wild jungle, yes it is rich and plentyful but, better be lucky and dont fall cause there is no safety net to save you
@@itsAbbyyy Different people need different amounts of time to grieve. It's fucked up that they decide how long you "should" grieve the loss of a family member
I think that he will get a job and God will help him.
I survived 3 years of Homelessness myself. The hardest part is the sleep deprivation. I spent many times suicidal in psych wards. It's an awful way to experience life. I hope he gets better. God bless
how did you get out of homelessness?
@@conephompany I become very suicidal and spent 2 months in a psych ward. I was fortunate enough to be receiving disability benefits for depression. So I was able to use that money to get an apartment.
@@patrickanarchy-official5662 that is so awesome, good for you
How are you doing now?
@@geocape7060 I feel alot stronger than I did when I was homeless. Glad that part of my life is over.
There stands a man full of wisdom acquired through a world of suffering. God bless you sir.
Feel so sorry for this guy, someone should help him. Makes you wonder about family. I know when it comes down to it and if it was me, my family wouldn’t help. They wouldn’t want to be bothered
Its in human .crazy evil world were in bless you man .big wishes🙏🙏🙏🙏💞
@@troyboldon1 You're a good man Troy. God bless you mate.
@@rockn997 Sorry to hear that Rock. Everyone takes it for granted.
Masslow hierarchy of needs ... when you don’t have the essentials its a downward spiral.. may he find decent work and a decent life !And cope with his grief . God bless him and his kind wishes
After losing my spouse, two daughters, two dogs, and everything that we owned, in a terrible tragedy, I had a mental breakdown as well. After losing everyone and everything, and there was nothing left. People are far more important than stuff. God bless him.
Simba how are you able to cope with that loss? I could never imagine such a terrible situation.
Well, depends on the stuff.
❤
You are a warrior. The Fisher King story.
My deepest condolences to you and i really hope your doing ok. Remember that as hard as it is, and the loss that you feel, you still have yourself and its worth taking care of. Please if you need help seek it, dont suffer alone.
Lost his wife and daughter... and he is having a sane conversation. This guy's mentality is unbreakable. God bless his strong soul!
As sad as it can sound but I think his mental is already dead...
He is a good reasonable person who deserves better in life. He is not bitter over his life circumstances. We all can learn a valuable lesson from him. I have relatives with money who are mean and greedy. They are selfish. He seems to be at peace. God please bless him.
Took him a few years though. But even so, it is still impressive.
You know how they died????, horrible story
@@moodyfan4ever I do not know how he lost his family but he has a good outlook. I hope that he is blessed with a good job and a home. He deserves that much!
He is sharp. I would hire him in a heartbeat.
Unfortunate for him, his trouble with alcohol. He seems like a nice guy. If only he could be clean and sober, if only he could be saved. It's been years since this video. I hope he is OK. Other people have overcome alcoholism, maybe he can too.
@@sarachaney9293 how do you know that? Do you know him personally?
Well people can always get out of addiction as long as they have the determination to. They mostly can't find that themselves, which is why we should help.
Damn, all that big talk makes me wanna help homeless people again. Definitely will.
@@LittleBlacksheep1995 I want to help the homeless too. Sorry to put this on you, but if you have any resources (websites) or advice about how someone can help, please share. Would passing water bottles and hygiene kits be a good start?
where is this man now I hope he is fine
@@nocando89 it greatly depends on where you live so I can't give you a specific organization. You can simply start by giving away stuff you don't need but they do. Especially socks and shoes, not many people know how necessary these are to the homeless. Food obviously, but that's usually not a big issue in first-world countries.
Jobs, if you're an employer and have some vacant jobs like pickup, delivery, etc., maybe give 'em a chance. But ofc your business is more important, make sure you hire a trustworthy person.
”You are not here to be loved, comforted and understood. You were put here to love, comfort and understand.”
I like that too.
Don’t judge the homeless because in the blink of an eye it could be you.
Share love and count your blessings
Yep. You never know their story, or circumstance. Oh, it can be even heavier than you can imagine.
Nah dude, don’t judge the homeless cause you don’t know what they’ve been through. Saying what you said just make you think about yourself
Amen. Happened to me. Sometimes God wants to humble us so we can identify with and have compassion for others. I learned a lot from the time I was without my own place to live. Jesus is Lord.
I've been homeless before and I work 60 plus hours a week. It's not always about work ethic. Without family and friends it's really easy to end up with nothing.
I had this happen to me. I had a breakdown, lost everything. Was homeless. A family member 2000 miles away offered to let me stay with them. They helped me get to them. 18 months later, I have a job. Am saving for my own place. I have severe depression, anxiety and PTSD. I struggle everyday and am scared I will lose everything again.
+Martha Johnson I pray everything works out for u!💖
I happen to be online and got a notification of your post. I cried when I read it because it's such a comfort to know that a complete stranger prays that everything works out for me. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful words.

barry goldwater that's my issue I am solo.
When he said he was about to loose his mind from being turned down so much, I totally understand that. I also felt that way when looking for a job.
I could relate also. That is my current situation in looking for work.
@@planetwalker798 hope u find work soon. It’s hard nowadays. I think one of the hardest things about being rejected from jobs or being fired is how it affects your self esteem. When it happened to me I always thought “maybe I’m just not good enough?” I still struggle with that thought. Good luck on your job search!
I had faced already.
Where I live companies are giving sign on bonuses, nobody wants to work and plenty of jobs
I lost my wife 2 years ago & then I got depressed& lost everything, I just want to say to this man i understand. You are still are still a good man & i believe that we have to find what our purpose still is in life & maybe to find what our lost loved ones & surely find what God wants us to do with our precious time here before we go to be with our loved ones who already is living the next life. May God always bless you
Strange how this man really understands the truth. He knows what's righteous and good. This is a good man
People that go thru this learn what is really important . Most are folk's that have kindness in their ❤️ . Share what little we have . And look out for one another . What is real hard is the deralict that steals from those that already have so little and cause of a homelessperson s situation obtaining even the most modest necessities is harder then for folk with a home . It is very hard
We must all repent of our sins and live for God Jehovah through his son Jesus Christ if we want eternal life in happiness and joy
See how he didnt only want for himself he wanted for everyone when asked 3 wishes
Intelligent as well
@@perryfroze No doubt that Christ is necessary.
I loved that he just said “it’s a human issue, not just a homeless issue” blessings joy and love to this beautiful human being
Exsactly 💙🙏
He ain't having any joy right now
I loved this statement of his!
Very scumbag attitude
Its a human issue, not just a ethnicity issue. If we start treating each other as fellow human beings 90% of our problems will go away
To me you are not invisible.. I see You: a sweet, humble and honest man! I wish you the best and the support we all deserve as human beings 🙏🏼✨
I feel for this man, My wife passed away in the hospital because of a botched surgery. She was my only friend, it took a long time for me to try to move forward.
I'm sorry for your loss, I'm glad you have moved forward.
What a great statement:
"You are not here to be loved, comforted, or understood. You are here to love, comfort, and understand."
Such simple yet deep wisdom ... 👍
exactly
Difficult in this society
The humanity.
I was homeless with my daughter and I was working as a manager of a store, didn't make enough for rent. No drugs no alcohol either. Life has been hard
Beautiful Feather i hope everything is going well 🙏
How did it end up?
Beautiful Feather this comment was only 3 months ago, I really hope with all my heart things are going better for you and your daughter , it’s not rite you deserve a home ,
God bless you

Yes!
His mental health is in a better place than most of us.
Homeless people are warriors. Being on the streets toughens them up. They can handle the elements better than those who are housed in my opinion.
This man who has suffered so much is thinking about others for his wishes. He’s a saint.
It was a form of manipulation
@@babybeast7965 How so?
@@JesusSaves86AB it's better you dont see the side of people I do
Eat Chipotle Ery'Day Is it that you see that side of others or that you see that side of YOURSELF and project that onto others? I’m not judging but honestly asking and curious as to whether you’ve ever asked yourself that?
My Ex had Narcissistic Personality Disorder and did that constantly until the day I left because I couldn’t take it (or any of his excessive bullshit really) anymore. He assumed everyone lied and manipulated others because that was the basis of his whole life. He couldn’t grasp the concept that not everyone was like him. Believe it or not, there really ARE good and honest people out there.

What a nonsense statement.. 🤦♀️
A remarkable man who has lost everything except his humanity
A lesson to us all. Shame on society for not doing more
Exactly. This man has so much more than the powerful 1%. Humanity which can be decomposed in wisdom which in turn can be decomposed in inner peace, adaptability, full system compreention in some specific field of knowledge, full global systems compreention, compassion, control of the ego. Traits that are absent to every one in the 1%. (except maybe Paul McCartney, but he is still challenged by the ego)
A friend had his baby aborted by his girlfriend who then abandoned him, then he was rejected out of a religion college, then his parents were killed in a car wreck, then he lost his job, he shot his brains out. Society kicks down the wounded.
@@sherryuribe5766 A sick society does. As we have no doubt become.
He has retained one of the most important of human traits, The "humanity" of which you speak.
*I Cried all the way Through this Segment !!!...How amazing that his first wish was not to have his wife and Child back but ...to help others...Truly a Deeply Human Story...God Speed Mark*
"It's a human issue, not a homeless issue."
Yes--this is they key.
This guy is intelligent and a decent human. Peace.
He is handsome and articulate. I am so sorry he lost his family. This system is wicked.
These kinds of comments irk me. What if he wasn't handsome? What if he had a speech impediment? Would he be any less deserving of compassion?
@@ragnakak I think what the OP intended to do was highlight the good features of the man in the video. She didn't feel bad for him just because he was handsome and articulate, she was highlighting those features. Pretty sure she'd feel just as bad for a person with a speech impediment
Marry him and give him a good life then😏
Looks like eddie van halen
@@ragnakak Have you seen many homeless ppl...? I lived among them, many aren't articulate. Get pout of your bubble, lol.
He's well spoken, and I hope he finds a home, a job, and a new family. No one deserves to be dehumanized like this. Homelessness should not exist in any country. We have to be better than this. He deserves a chance to rebuild his life. Many blessings.
Dehumanization destroys a soul. Enough destroyed souls and Society as a whole is next in line.
he lost his wife, lost his daughter and everything but his wish is for the world and for everyone, such a strong man.
He is a truly enlightened man! i hope he catches a break
Richard Longmore is he getting help? Found a job?
God bless his soul
What does "enlightened" mean?
Wow, this man asked for things..for OTHER people. He deserves a lot more than he has😣
I lost my job last year. I came back to live with my parents and thanks to their support and my sister's, I'm starting up my own business and things are going well for me now. I´m extremely lucky I was born in a beautiful strong family. If it wasn´t for them, I would be homeless right now. It's scary how easy you can become homeless in this society.
This man has so much more than some who have everything. Bless him..
My wife and kids are my life! I would end up homeless too if I was grieving because of a loss like that. Who cares about "stuff" if u don't have your family
jayy see
So, so True.
Absolutely

Why wish that? Anyone can help anyone at anytime, thats the problem. No one does. Talking only makes you feel better. Doing makes someone else better.
Yep society is messed up
Hi Bella ur one of the few people,human beings that we need more people like you,are you Christian btw? Just curious because Jesus came down from heaven to a sinful world to Save us,give us Salvation,even food,shelter and he was kind and helped anyone in need we should do the same for someone that is in real awful situations like Mark or someone that has been living in the streets for such a long time thats how they lose Hope,Faith that nobody will lend a helping hand,just reject them and thats not right because God,He sees everything ohh yes When we Pray for somone,our Acts of kindness,helping a homeless person or a stranger when it is needed.
ty, I'm doing much better now actually.
Bella Channell that was so nice of you to help a homeless person to find a job would be beautiful....
articulate, thoughtful. Wish I could help but may become homeless myself.
me too. I'm good thru January. After that who the hell knows.
Same here
With the way the pandemic is going and the economy alot of people are going to be in this gentleman's position.
@Marcilio Andrade i didn't see anyone claim that it does
@Marcilio Andrade ok. I have an observation: water is wet
That hit home. My name is Mark. Ive been homeless on and off for 4 years now also. Had a breakdown after losing everything. I never got help took me 4 long years but I finally got off hard drugs and back to a healthy mental state. I dont wish what ive been through on my worst enemy. It hurt my soul and sometimes it still messes with me. Love everyone going through struggles. Keep your head up lifes just a game and WE are THE player. We are one 💚🌟✨
hugs to you strong man! Glad your back and good :)
He wishes for everyone, not just himself.
Thanks for saying that, I thought the same thing. This is guy is nothing less than amazing.
Shays he truly is a wise man

@lioness of lechistan He might be better moving out of California..It's stressful there with high cost of living and materialistic perceptions which would hinder his emotional recovery and any dignity he would get. The Organisation should find him a better environment outside of California. Money can help, but i doubt it would over the long term. Putting him with the many people with many problems in life is only likely to make it worse. I shall not go into the topic of illegal immigration where uncontrolled, will only further exacerbate the hardships of these people.
The fact that no one looked after him while he was in the hospital so he could return to a job and not be broke is plain disgusting to me.
Gamdursol
Yes, most of these companies are heartless. They only care if you show up, Not why you didnt show up
That's not really what I meant. If you just stop showing up to work witout communicating what's going on you'll lose your job, and if you have a home and a car you'll have to make payments. He was sick, so there should have been people helping him with all the practical details that companies expect until he got better.
Gamdursol that's the problem if you have no family, or lost yours, like this man. It's all about money, companies don't care about your hardships.
Ya Man Not everybody has a family, that’s why there needs to be a safety net that catches everyone not just the people with friends, family or money. Companies are not set up to be that safety net, that’s not their function.
Gamdursol I don’t understand why his wife’s family didn’t take him in. He had NOBODY else to help him after his nervous breakdown?? No extended family? Siblings? Parents?
Is there an update on this kind man? Is he ok? Has anyone helped him get back on his feet? This is so heartbreaking...

@archona54 Hey, thanks for letting me know what you think about me. I assume you had the great luck of never even having been upset a little by what you most likely perceive to be a perfectly sane system. How about - instead of lingering in a convenient dogma of an utopian world - trying to imagine being a person who suffered tremendous trauma, like a child / woman who has been violently raped, or a crippled, abandoned war veteran - being FORCED into the horror of a constant state of irreversible mental disequilibrium? Yes, those are just some of the other avoidable occurrences that our culture and the individuals who were subject to its socialization cause, which also happen to people who, just like you and everyone else, always wanted nothing but to live a happy life and firmly believed in the god-approved beauty of their beloved society.
My mom,son and wife died over 2 years ago in a span of one year. How I'm able to function is all but unfathomable but the gentleman in the interview certainly needs peace and I hope and pray Mark has found peace in this life.
So sorry for your losses ❤
Hello DWH.............. I lost my mom, youngest brother and closest aunt (all suddenly) and a whole bunch of cousins all within 2.5 years. I went from being 200 lbs to 120, had a head full of thick hair to literally being bald all from grief, depression and stress.
@B K I think he meant "that's tough".
Many love and peace surround you. Life is so sad
I hope you find piece of mind and restfulness. I'm really sorry for all that loss.
Oh man..this man is smarter, humble, and have more common sense then most people..
Oh dear human brother, I agree with you! How I wish you will find love comfort & understanding, right where you are & a helping hand to give you a save place!

In canada,if you cannot work because you are hospitalized,the collection agencies are not allowed to harass you for bills and your boss isn't allowed to fire you.

What is wrong with our world when we cannot even take time out to grief.
Alex Scott sounds nice and should be safety net. UK is same as USA if your ill they come after you for missing payment and lose your job because don't like paying sick pay.
Not true. Im Canadian. Ive worked at several companies, big companies, where a person who has been n sickleave for cancer, THE day they come back to wrk, they get “laid off”! How is that fair!? It disgusts me! Seen it happen. I had two surgeries, guess what? I got laid off. Companies dont care, your a liability, you cost too much from the fecking insurance companies! I hate this system! You know what big aerospace companies are doing? Laying off workers over 50 and hiring young cheaper ones! This is Canada!
Bullshit

After working hard all my life, I lost my job at age 61. I ran out of my savings after 2 months. I had to move in with my sister for 10 months. I turned 62 and was able to collect social security so that I had some income while I continued to job search. I got into a government program (Experience Works) where I was paid to work for a nonprofit organization. I finally got into subsidized senior housing, got food stamps, and Medicaid. I am doing well at age 70. God is good !
Fair play to you rock an man 👍
My grandfather died at 70, hope you are going good.
As long as the benefits keep coming. But with our country in the state its in, how long will they last? Millions are not working now and that means the taxes that provides those benefits wont be paid.
God bless your sister

@@stuckonearth4967 Look, Capitalism ain't perfect, but it ain't because of capitalism that he is on the streets, if it was a communist regime, then at home, he would already be starving, look at Cuba.
This was nine years ago. I really hope this man is okay today
I’ve never seen or heard such a good soul who’s on the street. Still keeping his optimism and faith. Bless his heart. I hope he gets out of this life on the streets safely ❤️
My heart really goes out to Mark. I hope he's doing better now. We live in a sick and twisted society where you're supposed to grieve the loss of your most important people for 3 days (paying thousands of dollars to shady funeral homes), and then go right back to work, fully functioning. The fact that this loss impacted him so dramatically tells you something about how much his family meant to him. Neil Peart (the drummer for Rush) lost his wife and daughter in the same year, too, and Rush ceased to exist for a few years while he recovered. But Neil could afford to bike and motorcycle around the world while he worked out his grief. Us grunt workers do not enjoy that luxury. Mark was forced to face the reality of a barbaric system that most people willfully remain blind to. I really do hope he's okay now.
Socialism eliminates poverty by making everyone equally poor.
Gregg Powers It is not a matter of capitalism or communism. This is a dualistic view on ideology which is to simplify reality, not seldom used by politicians who seek support for either of these systems . This duality has worked wonders in America when it comes to keeping people from getting decent healthcare, education, and support from the state - because any support from the state has been labeled as socialism. Interestingly enough, the FED saved a number of investmentbanks in America during the financial crisis as they were "too big to fail". In other words, socialism is only applied in America when it comes to saving the rich - none is talking about socialism at that point. Furthermore, as you may know capitalism is a self-destructing mechanism which won't work forever, so, whether you like capitalism or not you better start thinking outside of "but look at North Korea" which is a poor excuse to not think for yourself and support a system which neglects humanity and the planet.
The Homeless Consultant 😭😭😭💕💕👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼☠️☠️☠️💣💣⚰️⚰️⚰️👹👹👹
Amen...
Once again, you bring up extreme examples to justify a flawed U.S. economy which neglects the poor and pushes the agenda of the wealthy few. If the economic system which you applaud is so good, why do you not pinpoint what it does to the people portrayed in this series? Why do you talk about Cuba and Venezuela? If you want to compare it with a state which assumes a less market-liberal a.k.a libertarian-based system, why not compare the welfare-system in the U.S. with, say, Sweden?
Our society has no time for human emotions. Not even time to grief. We are doomed.
I beleive we are too
Meh we're all doomed the second we are born. We all die.
We are doomed under human rule, but not under God's rulership. Get to know Him and His Son Christ Jesus and then you will have peace of mind. This life thank goodness is only temporary.
@2 MD One day there will be a better world. With none of this injustice and crime etc. There will be peace, love, kindness and compassion. Everyone will be treated fairly with no discrimination. No rich people or poor people. But it will not be brought about by any man made government. It is the promises of God Almighty as only He, through His Son Christ Jesus, can bring about peace and harmony to this earth . We people can't achieve peace or harmony as we are too weak and selfish.. The condition of this world and all the injustices show us that. But it won't be for much longer and all the greedy wicked people, murderers, pedophiles, criminals etc will be destroyed and only those with a good heart and law abiding citizens, who worship and obey God Almighty will be saved !
They will live in a world that is filled with love, happiness, no sickness or pain with plenty to eat. Then there will be the world that God has promised us all if we repent of our sins and lead a life of kindness, obedience, compassion etc.
The time is running out. Get to know the Only True God, pray to Him in Jesus name to help you to find and learn His Truth !
You sound like a good person, I wish and pray for you that you get what is best for you ! Please be safe. Get to know God and learn about the promises he has for us . It will give you the hope you need !
Go well, all the very best to you.

This bro needs a hug, home, job and family.
He’s a very wise person with a beautiful heart. May our Heavenly Father keep him in his care. 🙏🏼♥️
4 years later...hope Mark's life is better now.
You realize the word twink means a super feminine gay guy right?
Wurmo Just a skinny person that is weak.
Thanks for the offer but I think i'll pass
Lol twink is a skinny gay guy who gets fucked by a bear which is a big fat gay guy.
No, that would be a cub not a twink. Cuz the bear is the daddy and the cub is the son.
Lord open a door for this man! I can see him in the future helping others. Equip him Lord!
Amen
equip him lord cuz i sure wont. wheeze
@@handlmycck turd breath
Amen
Hope the Lord manages to read this youtube comment soon.
this man speaks more coherently than like 90%+ of the people I've met
Losing your wife is tough. Losing your daughter is forever psych altering.
That's very hard,i wish that for no one
@D Legionnaire I DONT DO DRUGSSSS
@Dan M it would be hard not to.
Why don't people get more help after they have been in a psychiatric hospital, it's WRONG.
Because unfortunately, there aren’t much resources for people suffering from mental health issues. I used to internship at a Behavorial center and my patients told me all the time there is a real need for resources after discharge. It’s so unfortunate but until someone steps up to fix that need it is just gonna get bigger and bigger.
Because it's expensive.
Even if they try to get help, there are long waiting lists for housing and shelters cater more to women and women with children vs men. Food assistance is temporary and sometimes not enough. Social security/disability takes a long time to process and some have to do appeals despite submitting all paperwork and documentation. It’s a mess, really.
Wait so your saying it’s this dudes fault?
superreverbfreak no, I didn’t read it like that. I’m sure she’s asking why aren’t there more help for those in psych hospitals before they get discharged. There should be transitional assistance-food, shelter, medications, doctors/specialists assigned for after care with appointments, etc before they are released out onto the street.
God watch over his soul. He is a good man. Stay with him and his lost loved ones
No God doesn't care about anyone.
JSINmartini he does care. we just choose to ignore.
He says he gets what he needs .,, thank God .,,,
hope u all at least give him a drink after making him talk & he even said “ I appreciate it “
@Seth Belfort Do you mean the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob
Damn...the people on this channel are some of the wisest and most resilient I have ever seen. This system we are forced to live in is broken in the cruelest ways.
You are great person for standing up against all the odds
everyone just remember for a second that we are all one bad day from becoming him
No I am not.
lol okay mr. invincible. if you say so. you could break your back tomorrow and need someone to wipe ur ass the rest of ur life. you could get robbed blind and lose everything. your family could all die in a car crash. any one of those things could send ur life into a downward spiral but hey nothing like that could ever happen to you
4thLevelConciousness So very true, it can happen to any of us.
Our society leaves no room to grief. I been through similar, there is no time to let humans grief. We are doomed.
Sadly very true
This society is sickening. He loses his family, and nobody has compassion for him. Loses his car and home in the process of being hospitalized. Now he's starving out in the streets, meanwhile food that hasn't been sold gets thrown into the garbage, and apartments sit unoccupied. But as long as the rich get richer and everyone has the latest iphone nobody cares.
Talking about iphones, Apple and phone companies have sponsored the worst genocide since WWII. In DR Congo over 5 million people have been killed in a war for conflict minerals to make iphones. Why isn't everybody in Apple and Microsoft locked up in jail is beyond me.
The wisdom of saving when you can, buying your own property however humble, and staying out of debt on cars etc is relevant. This can save you from situations like this.
well said nikki
Bruce MacKinnon Yep. Own shitty stuff instead of financing nice stuff. A used car would have kept this man on his feet once he came out. Finding a walkable job is a far cry from easy.
Not necessarily, Bruce. A person can save and be careful and still face homelessness. Just depends on the circumstances.
This guy is a strong soul. Wishing Peace and love to this guy.
This was deep and appreciated. Thanks for getting his strong words on camera
Highly intelligent man. Breaks my heart.
I love the quote;
"You are not here to be loved, comforted or understood. You were put here to love, comfort and understand."
He literally just started talking about what you quoted just as I scrolled into your comment after reading the previous ones , I can’t help but feel helpless towards these videos it’s heartbreaking especially since it’s pain none of us can relate to absolutely gutted for every one of them
Damn, that is a fucking sick quote. Wow. VERY true.
It crushes me every time how cruel the truth of that statement is and I come back to this clip from time from time to hear it.
being able to thank God despite his circumstances is the virtue of a man whose values and ideals are in a top bracket
Yes, and he understands the meaning of life so well.. He has a ticket for Heaven.
thank you for this project and for the testimonial !
In Switzerland we dont have these kind of problems, once you get into a psychatric place or hospital, you are getting support from the gov. you may not have the nicest time, but you will always have a place to sleep man...people like you should have a way better life...you deserve it man. much love a fellow disbeliever in society
p.s. sry for my english
edit1:Thank you for the likes, i am more thankful for the discussion i sparked, pls guys stay respectful, its getting wild at some places. :S
edit2: guys, pls, stay to the facts, if you dont know nothing about switzerland, and start talking about the system and standart, its useless. Pls stay to the facts, if you dont know, go google. seriously callin switzerland stuff aint gonna help your argument.
much love, a fan of fans
Government takes care? No thank you.
Please don’t feel so high in morals after your banking system existed on Nazis..cartels...and shady governments since the Medicis
@@robinluich6626 why not? i was able to finish my degree and be a help to the community and society, since i was rather poor. the gov. helped me financially out while i was young, and right now i have the capabilities to support more then just myself. if they disnt invest in me, i would still live off social welfare. (i payed evrything back in taxes by now). Tell me would you have prefered my being poor and be a nuissance for society?
@@PuntaPacifica507 There is not one soul in switzerland that has to go hungry, never. We aint perfect, our vest aint clean, but we know that and work to improve it. Before you critisize our banking system, sort wallstreet out my man, sort evrything out. As long as there are hungry people, and also dying of hunger, you shouldnt critisize a supirioi system. We are the only real democracy in the world, we as the people are voting on legislation and laws evry three months. We have the capabilities to learn and evolve, do you?
@@PuntaPacifica507 I don't think they were referring to the past but the present.
Seems more intelligent than many people who who live a "normal" life, hope he's doing better..
Wish I could help people like him, people who deserve a real chance at a good life. He obviously doesn't belong in the streets, he talks very intelligent for someone who's going through what he is. Not a lot of people can stay sane living in those harsh environments.
A lot of us that struggle are more intelligent in a different way.
This man is the one who impressed me the most on the channel yet. Very smart words in every sentence. I truly hope he is doing fine he has the tools for
"I still have faith in myself, but I have lost faith in this system.." me too brother. me too.
It baffles me when I see intelligent, ethical, kind hearted souls end up in this situation. Truthfully it infuriates me. I have a been in the same boat as this gentleman. 2009 hit me like a ton of bricks! My mother passed, my little brother was killed, my older brother had a heart attack. And the bad news didn't stop there. I had a complete meltdown. I still am not at full capacity. But you certainly learn that in this life we are truly thrown to the wolves. I was on the streets long enough to know that the majority of people have their own personal agenda and to hell with compassion!
100% I’m so sorry for yours and everyone else loss because i also feel the same,But without family,It’s very hard :,( Humans need love and compassion and especially HELP,In this capitalism world,The Earth and human race has NO HOPE AND NO FUTURE.
@@Jza-GZa I Love You
I hope you’re better now. I wish the very best for you. It’s absolutely heartbreaking to realize, as one of the comments here highlighted - we’re just one bad day away from this happening to us.
I feel like this is the most honest dude you have interviewed.
“You were not put here to be loved, comforted and understood.... you were put here to love, comfort and understand” damn brother ☝🏼❤️🙌🏽
Such true words.... what a lovely man sending you love.
“You’re not here to be loved, comforted & understood. You’re here to love, comfort & understand”. A powerful idea from his sponsor. If the majority of humans were truly selfless instead of selfish then there’d be less people falling through the gaps in society
Hm.
only a few feel this way. hope we all change to the best.
Very true.
This man is very wise, his pain has taught him many things. We are all brothers and sisters. ✌️
My heart goes out to you my friend. What happened to you most people could never understand. You are a strong man. I pray God will turn it around for you. You deserve a new beginning. 🙏💙
This is a good man who deserves better, we need to do better in this society.
Where is Mark today?. I pray he is safe and healthy with a job, place to stay enough food to eat . I wish him joy and happiness and most of all I pray he obtained PEACE of mind.
I pray he is safe too 💔
yeah me 2
I am wondering this too!
I want to help him get a job and a place to stay.
Update! Where is Mark!?
He’s so well spoken. I hope he is doing well now.
An amazing man with a great spirit. May God always be with him. Hollywood should make movies with homeless people as heroes. These people are a world of motivation for all of us.
So heartbreaking. What a beautiful soul.
I lost my grandmother my grandfather and my aunt when I was homeless for 1 1/2 years then I lived in backpacker's 12 -9 bed dorms for 3 years and now finally as of today will actually be in a house in my own room finally 🙂
Congratulations, May you enjoy your new place. I hope it brings you an abundance of blessings, peace and contentment.
Well done you! I bet it’s an amazing feeling. You deserve it!
I'm so saddened by his story. God be with him and all the invisible.
He doesnt look like a typical homeless person.. What about the really stinky dirty ones with teeth missing and half conscious? Nobody cares about them. In fact i havent seen this channel really talk to those types of homeless
Thank you brother! Good man. God bless you!
Such a proper & educated & calm person, too bad life dealt him such a bad hand. May God bless him & keep him safe. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
If I could find that dude, I would hire him as a live in house/yard worker in a heartbeat.

@@lisalefleur2977 Focus on your own issues before offering unsolicited life advice to others. It's clear you could work on yourself.
“You are not here to be loved, comforted or understood. You were put here to love, comfort and understand.”
Not true at all
@@ariyyo216 actually it is exactly true🙏🙏🙏
No truer words were ever spoken. God bless us all 🙏🙏🙏
I could listen to him all night ‘ what a lovely person ‘
I do hope he’s ok 👍
Thanks 🙏
The most inspiring interview in years!!What a wonderfull guy!!
Bless him and all homeless
I really hope he’s doing better, he sounds like a decent human being with wisdom to give
I have yet to meet a homeless people who isn't more worthy of a chat than a business owner
What a guy! He's something special! I wish him all the best! May God bless him 🙏
I can't imagine such loss. I hope he find his way to live his life with purpose, peace and happiness. God bless.
imagine losing everything
your wife
your daughter
your house
your car
your job
imagine 😞
😓
Yes just imagine the ones who ware suits steals from you AND you cant get justice SO you speak out complain then they section you medicate you & steal from you & use the word mental Against YOU Asif all you complained about in the first place DID NOT HAPPEN Amazing medication leads to more medication Instead of counsiling for the Truma and even the counsillors door bell and baby listening devices in their hand bags ding dong i have to go now
and as she opened her oversize bag it was full of baby listening devices from ARGOS Like its not funny who else was listening Its a joke
The reality is his family should have helped him. That's the problem today. Not enough love in your own house. He must have parents, or siblings, uncles, cousins. Someone could have helped him. What about a neighbor ? Like Jesus said; "Love thy neighbor as thyself".
Though it may seem like it, God never forsaken us..
sophie nobody could imagine that if they haven’t experienced it
A society is judged by how well it cares for the weakest.
Michael Sequerth by God
Michael Sequerth think what you want. I used to be very sceptical too, until I had a personal experience with God back in 2012. God bless and have a nice day
@Michael Sequerth probably not the best comment to be soapboxing on. Im an atheist and that's not nice to say. His God is judging our society, you cannot take that from him because it creates moral standards. A mutual hallucination one might say.
@Michael Sequerth You can speak however you like. I am only asking to consider that understanding truth (which I still believe is objective as an atheist,) is far more important than the vessel which brings you to it (religion, spirituality or philosophy)
Replace "God" with "ourselves" when asking "who judges this society" and it may answer something.
It doesn't really matter if god or fate or just plain ol' random chance gets us to where we are - if we're all at each others throats in the world right now! Our society is being weighed and found wanting because of our choices. On Both Sides.
@Michael Sequerth Are you happy with the world today? God is already dead no need to kick the dead horse. I'm not happy with the world today; I doubt many Democrats or Republicans are happy with the world today. I bet Europe is totally not happy with their world today... I don't need a god to tell me we've got some serious societal divides, but some people do. It's the same conclusion. You don't have to agree but I think they are 100% right.
