They were told they could buy anything. They bought clothing, food, food for their pets and simple necessities. That speaks volumes.
It sure does 🥰🙏🏼😭
What else is there at Walmart? They wouldn't know how to use electronics like computers or phones.
@@ryanblack2986 Not sure if you have ever been to Walmart, but they have everything there besides the basic necessities.
The family has a tv in there home, fairly certain they’d know about other electronics.
Yeah cos plenty others would've went straight to the gift card and tech section ;)
Mark, when Ray offered his hand for you in the parking lot, it shows how deeply he trusts you and knew you wouldn't let anything happen to him. That's quite endearing, pal.
It was one of the small, beautiful moments in this video. I rewatched it a few times
Really? Do you know him?
I saw that and it melted my heart. Ray seems like a special guy (Mark too, obviously)
@@dewilew2137 So edgy. Doofus.
@@dewilew2137 you are being unkind
The fact that all Betty wanted was a microwave just made my tears flow. I love how she provides for her family.
So endearing ❤❤❤
And the subtle arm move, so sweet
I feel that Mark is always fishing for a verbalized "thank you" but doesn't get that that woman has given her everything her whole life without being thanked verbally, she doesn't understand the concept of it. Her smile and energy show how grateful she is.
That Got me too. Such a simple thing most Americans have, and we don’t realize how truly blessed we are to have those “simple” things. God Bless them and kudos to you Mark for spending time to get to know each of them. ❤❤❤
Man that’s awesome everything you do for them… you have lots of patience…
Timmy gently putting his watermelon in the cart and Ray tossing it into his made me laugh. Thank you Mark for taking this family shopping.
I laughed at this bit too, really heartwarming
Just an idea for Ray's knees. Ever hear of Ben-Gay? It's about $10 for a large tube & Wal*Mart, CVS, Walgreens & even most grocery stores have it. That really helps me when I have my arthritis flare ups. Sometimes sore knees can REALLY HURT MORE than people know. I feel bad that he can't communicate very well to tell how bad it's hurting! Also, another thing my brother discovered from his chiropractor is that Tonic Water has 'Quinine' in it - so buy Ray some Tonic Water & it will also help A LOT ( Trouble is, it tastes weird / sort of bitter & you have to develop a taste for it - but some people like me, like it & it works great!! Drink half a litre bottle & it works wonders for sore muscles due to arthritis! One more trick is a shot glass of half Southern Comfort with half honey in it & eat it with a spoon & it helps before bed time so he can sleep better, no lie! My Polish/Slovak Grandmother used to give me some before bed when I got bad knee pains, as young as 7 years old! The Doctor calls them "growing pains" no matter how old a person is - those ideas I mentioned ALL HELP!! And...if your wondering, I'm not an alcoholic ( some people jump to conclusions) but let me tell you when I was very little, Id lay in bed crying with terrible knee pain & it mostly happened in summer which is strange!? Mark, did you ever buy Ray some Advil?? Also, great for knee pain. - OR - Get a Doctor to call in some 300 mg. of Ibuprofin (for inflammation of knees shoulders, ankles & other joint pain! Love Your videos of this kind hearted family!! They might not have a lot but they know what love is! Love & Prayers to everyone in the Whitaker Family! They sure are good folks! They could certainly use some help regarding housework, making beds, do they have a place to shower or bathe? If they don't, thats a darn shame!! I know the summer weather gets REAL HUMID & IS TERRIBLEY HOT & SO MANY OF THEM ALL CRAMMED IN THAT LITTLE HOME MUST BE HARD.. unless they have a creek nearby to go swimming into cool off! Also, they ABSOLUTELY DESERVE A NICE PORCH WITH CHAIRS & WINDOWS - A LOT OF FOLKS IN W.VA LOVE TO SIT OUT ON THE PORCH & JUST CHAT WITH ONE ANOTHER & TYPICALLY NEIGHBORS COME BY TO VISIT. There's a lot of brotherly love back east. Neighbors watch out for each other & if they have gardens, they share their food it produces. Many women can those vegetables, etc. for winter, but since Betty is the only one that is taking such good care of everyone ( I'm sure she doesn't always have a mess in the kitchen bc that can happen to anyone - that's life-unless your wealthy & have a maid! Mark, I think Rey really appreciates how much you help him & I know he looks up at you like your a brother to him! The people are the best people & I feel bad for them. They make the best out of any bad situation & truly watch out for one another! Love & Prayers to you all! ❤🙏❤️
ray said :D
SHE HUH GMK HUH YA
Ray was like it's a melon so what !!
This family is better behaved at Walmart than most people I've seen shopping at Walmart on UA-cam.
You are absolutely right.
That's funny
Truth. Ove seen ppl not watch their kids, ppl in the mobile scooters yell at ppl to get out of their way, even employees say mean things to ppl. These folk however are nice, and don't embarrass the human race, ironically.
Keri I agree they are very well behaved than most people that go shopping. 😄😊
Lol...including mine
Ray looked so fucking sharp in his blazer, he knew he was going out and did that on purpose, he is the man.
At least they don't used filthy language like you have just done. Shame on you, you take advantage that you can speak and abuse it!
@@nadinefrancis9732 it ain't that deep
Lmao fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck, go tell your priest at once!
*use
Picked his nose and ate it with no shame. He’s the man.
Lowkey, that Walmart employee at the beginning was very sweet. Ray shows her his knee and she just goes "Oh, mine would hurt too!"
Not rude, just incredibly sympthetic ❤️
I thought the exact same thing. When he started tryin to talk to her i was almost like, oh no hopeully not a rude comment. THen I was genuinely so thankful that she was so sweet and nice !!
It blows my mind that in the year 2024 we are thanking and praising a Walmart greeter for not saying something mean to someone with a handicap. Is it really that hard to be nice to everyone? Not just Someone who looks like they have money.
@@dustinmartinson1234 in 2024? No. And I'm so glad that we live in an age where this is the norm. People who treat people like people are fucking awesome!
@@dustinmartinson1234 Any other decade and we both know this video could have gone either way. But I'm glad it went the happy way.
you would think adults would be mature enough, right? I am telling you as a totally blind parent, who uses a white cane, while traveling with her children. This is not always the case. I can’t tell you the number of times my children have burst into tears because people are staring. I make sure when I leave the house there’s never a hair out of place. Everything has to be immaculate because I know people are looking. People expect me to look like a clown and that’s ridiculous. Yeah they stare anyway. Not caring how it hurts the child with me. And I always say you know what I’m glad you find this interesting. I hope you live long enough for your eyes to start failing to understand what it’s like. And oh, by the way, I was 16 when I went blind so you may want to start crossing your fingers and praying.
Ray even though non verbal seems like a kind and caring soul, him just grabbing your hand for support at the parking lot was too sweet
Ray is such a treasure massive love from the uk
He’s my favorite ❤
Once you’re around someone who’s mostly non-verbal for long enough, you naturally pick up on generally what they’re thinking and wanting to communicate. Betty is a saint for helping her family survive in this world.
G-pa was really affected by his multiple strokes when I was younger and I understood what he wanted, when he wanted it and how he wanted it, miss you lots G-pa.
like a cat?
@luxraider5384 no, like Groot.
Yeah, it’s just like communicating with a baby or toddler.
Yea it’s like a toddlers verbiage. The parent knows what they are saying.
Ray getting all dressed up and his hair done for his first Walmart trip is so sweet.
I thought it was really awesome and sweet too, they are such a great family❤️
@@BrainsandFaith yeah, they're not bad people. I still feel bad for them though, I hope they don't feel like we regard them as some kind of freak show.
@@virgodvolkenvaderland9228 I’m sure that they love the support we all have for them❤️ 🙏🏻 they are great people
LMAOO
I was thinking the same thing, that jacket was definitely fresh 💯
Betty looks just tickled to be going somewhere, wringing her hands in excitement as they were on the way there. I’m glad she has this opportunity.
Just another reminder that people with disabilities can really open up when exposed to new experiences and kindness. Something as simple as going to Walmart has changed them from the people we first "met" on the porch. They have been allowed to be curious, gaining more confidence, feeling safe and more open to their surroundings. This has been a delight to watch. Thank you for sharing.
When Lorraine walked up to the bras, I was a little sad that she seemed too shy to grab one! Every lady deserves a good bra
💖
Hopefully they helped her out
I think men need to accept women the way they are! Women don’t demand penis supports!
Agood bra is a blessing. It will not let you down. 😁
@@AnnaHerrick Some women need the support. Men don't need penis supports (OK, I do, but I'm a rare exception).
Betty is a product of her environment and she didn't run. She stuck around and took care of the people she loved. That woman deserves a special place in Heaven.
Mark, not all heros wear capes, but you sir are beyond that. 😭😭
👍💚💚
So well said
Thanks your comment got me teary-eyed
They are made in His image. ♡♡♡
@@nessaseetah1805 oh yes, god really was looking down on them!
This little family might not have a lot of fancy possessions, but they have more love for each other than most families I know. ❤️
yea thats kind of how they got that way
@@shock_n_Aweful That was kind of mean. I meant the unconditional kind of love.
I think Loraine wanted a bra , but she was embarrassed. Maybe next time a lady could measure her, I’m guessing she’s a 38C .
Find out her favorite color, and purchase some Woolite for washing bras only.
Mark, you’ll make her day, your a compassionate and generous man to this family. Thank you
And yourself…
Sorry 😣
Good guess on size. I think your probably right.
I commented the same thing
Why I feel like your spot on with her size lol. Yeah she wanted a bra. Hopefully, Lauren can get her size and get her a few.
Broke my heart when Betty said that Ray went to church once but doesn't go anymore because some woman made fun of him 💔I hope that woman learns what church is truly about. God's unconditional love. May she find love and compassion in her heart.
Sick t wisted. People....in this world.that laugh at peoples.pain
......that's a different type of twisted
Yeah then at Walmart you can hear the stranger lady saying "my goodness it sounds like he's having a heart attack
That is where you will find the most judgmental, it is no surprise
I agree! So heartbreaking 😢
KJV James 2:3 “And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:”
Too many people think they’re too good for people who haven’t been as blessed as they have. That could be them someday (what with the economy being as bad as it is) if the company they’re with folds due to the cost of inflation.
And I pray they don’t, but one never knows 🤷♀️
Thank you for standing up and saying it was wrong for the lady in the church was wrong!
Wowowowowowoeoe..what are u doing bro....we can respect the disabilities...and the people born different....but we ain't respecting no gays................throw coffee on there white shoes....fuck biden let's go trump
I love how Ray dressed up for his big day out :)
5:19 Betty did too 😊
they all looked quite spiffy and excited and it warmed my heart
I loved seeing reach for the camera mans hand in parking lot
I liked how he spit on the back of his car seat and yips like a dog. What a waste of charity dealing with these rejects.
@@jakobmorales1176 and when i think either timmy or ray made a noise when they first got there like saying hello
Watching Ray in pain like that broke my heart 💔 He’s usually happy so you know his hurting
Ray is my absolute FAVORITE!!! I can see his soul and its amazing. He is so happy with what he has, and is childlike in a way. It is refreshing to see in a world where everyone seems mad these days. Thank you Whitakers for sharing your life with me, and you mark for bringing them to me.
He had shit literally all over his pants m8 plus his ass was out
Im teary eyed because they looked so happy. They probably haven't had this much kindness extended to them. Mark you're amazing!
Im crying now...they are just some plain folk the simple life we all should be as appreciative of what we have
@@cathyroberts9155 this is what happens when people play with them daughters and sons and don’t wear protection god darn these people
@@This-account-is-hacked Sometimes it's just best to keep your feelings to yourself because all you have done is make yourself look like a heartless piece of 'you know what.'
I'm teary eyed too
@@thatgirlthatsme another person that wants us to keep quiet my God...she must be a leftist
I first clicked on this family's story out of a morbid curiosity. Im ashamed to admit I saw them like a side show. Your videos gave these people dignity and a chance for people like me to look past the stigma. Im grateful to have had the opportunity to glance into their lives. I truly wish them happiness and health.
Me too I'm so ashamed of myself
Precious in the site of our Creator.
Same. It's human nature. This is awesome. These guys are HAPPY!!! I think this benefits everybody involved. Nothing wrong within this.
@@jdc8352 I think it’s these peoples fault for being this way they are and why they are having these issues incest is not something to promote or be proud of and I don’t know why anyone would give these people the time of day they new better and knew that they are creepy for doing what they did having relations between ur family members is not cool or respected I don’t agree with mark I think he’s self righteous and fake and not authentic and does things to just get views attention and make money yea he’s gives but it also makes his money back pretty much he’s a liar when he says he’s never made no money he’s not even legit the guy he’s got demons that he’s hiding from this is why he try’s to act like this he’s had so manny wife’s and girlfriends and treats them like garbage but apparently is so compassionate for these people give me a break this guy is a liar a scam and just trying to do this for his own self gain
@@This-account-is-hacked Wow. You said an awful lot to say so little. How petty and jealous you seem. And how clueless. Not everyone has had the same upbringing, and opportunities in life. No one is promoting incest here. We *are* promoting compassion and love for our fellow human beings *regardless* of their situations.
I love how Ray reached out for your hand. No hesitation. He felt comfortable and safe with you. I love this family.
Ray's knee is really swollen, he's definitely got arthritis in it. I'm also wondering about his belly since he swallows his chewing tobacco. He's never been a big guy but he's lost weight since the first videos.
I think Lorraine wanted one of those pink bras but was too shy to pick one. Timmy is too adorable with his coloring books, and Betty holds the whole crew together. Thanks for all you do for them!
@@Acer15345well, to me it looked really red
I was hoping they would get him a knee brace, poor fellow.

Their parents where siblings right? I don’t understand
@@mirakallen1688 as far as i understand, their parents were first cousins born from identical twins
I thought that was pretty great.
Yeah shout out to kneecap enthusiasts
Betty is the Brains, Timmy is the muscle, Ray is the heart, and Lorraine is the baby of the family.
Best thing I've read all day!
That actually makes sense.
Ohhh that’s so precious
I THINK THE SAME👥❤👥🌲🍁🍂
Great Assessment!
I’ll admit, if I was told I could “buy anything”, I would most likely purchase things I don’t even need. We’ve been so blessed.
Ray reminds me so much of my son who is autistic and non verbal. What stood out to me the most was the kindness of the employee. Instead of awkward stares and ignoring him (like some do my son) she was kind and engaged back with him. Also the fact that this family didn’t go overboard on their shopping spree. It really says a lot about their character 💕
Ray really needs to see a doctor. The behaviors/communication he's exhibiting shows how severe the pain in his knee is. He aimed to please during the visit, but his mannerisms and vocal abilities show us how much he is in pain. He's such a wonderful soul. I do hope he can get that assessed sooner than later.
Love this family so much. Thanks, Mark.
Agreed. He sounds like he's in a lot of pain. Almost on the verge of crying. Not his normal personality, at all.
What I couldn't believe is how far the driver parked from the door. Then he had to walk all over the store. I'm sure that was hard on his knee.
Agree totally
I agree, plus Ray needs so much more care than he is receiving at home.
Awesome message 👏😀
When Timmŷ saw that big bag of dog food for the dogs and grabbed it immediately..made my heart melt, he was thinking of the pets and that says alot!
bro he probably wanted it for himself ROFL
@@xenzeta8673 shut up
And the dogs were so excited when they all came home.
So good to see, they're clearly loved
I agree!~
@@xenzeta8673 😂😂bruh that’s wrong
I was laughing so hard the whole time because they are so innocent and funny. The way they grabbed the very first thing they saw was genuine. They are adorable and nice people. Ray is very funny! He was so content to buy new shoes... I am so happy you have not just the money but the time to help them and to make them feel good. Lots of love to you and to them! ❤
It’s insane that I have such a huge soft spot for this family… I just learned about them and I can’t get enough of their videos! Thank you for all that you do for them!
Ray reaching for Mark's hand in the parking lot is just way too precious.
Made me cry.
@@caseykelso1 lmao really? That shit made u cry? 😂
That was so sweet. You can tell he trusts Mark.
I used to work with mentally handicapped people. First time when I was young and in training and we go for a walk and grabbed my hand I was like; Okay dont think about were that hand has been before.
@@fishscalecocaine made me cry too lol
Mark your an amazing guy, I live in southern West Virginia area right off of I81 the Virginia/West Virginia line (Shepherdstown area) , I own a small construction business and would be willing to help with whatever I can if they decide they want to repair or maybe even try to build, anything would have to be better than the situation there currently living in!!
Wow, so kind of you. God Bless ❤
Bless you. 💜💚💛✌️
Restoring faith in humanity
This needs to be upvoted so mark will take this kind man up on his offer
❤️
Betty is absolutely adorable! All of them have their endearing qualities. I’m honestly humbled by all their videos. I love how ray has put on his best clothes to leave the house! Reminds me of my grandparents always dressing up when they are out. They are poor in a lot of areas but have such heart. I admire them so much & inspired to reach out to those who are deemed less fortunate. I def could learn a thing or two!! ❤❤ sending blessings to mark, his team & the Whittakers ❤
I love how Betty’s accent comes out BIG TIME when she gets frustrated. Reminds me so much of my grandpa’s relatives from Tennessee.
What makes me sad is; one day, sooner than later, Mark’s gonna make a post letting us know that Ray’s gone. Poor guy is pushing 80 and is in terrible physical shape. In the most recent video his eyes seem to be going on him 💔
It definitely seems like Mark has been accepted into the fold by the Whitakers. You can see the trust and affection that they have for him. Watching them so happily choosing their items at Walmart was so fun. Their joy about such simple things is infectious ☺️
@Kaede so nice 🙂
They love Mark. I come from hill folk and know that you don't trust outsiders. They're from a place where you have 3 types of people, enemies, acquaintances, and family. Friends are considered family. They think of mark as a friend so he's a part of their family.
@Kaede it’s alright nobody visits me lmao
The simple things...we all could learn a lesson or two from them.
I am glad that they weren't overwhelmed by the experience at Walmart.
Almost timid when they’re buying for themselves but no hesitance when buying for their dogs. A giving spirit when they themselves have so little? A beautiful quality.
That's exactly what I thought. It also warmed my heart to see how happy that trip made Timmy. 😭💕
Exactly what I thought beautiful souls ❤❤
Southern hospitality at its finest! Theyd give they shirt off their back if you needed it. Proud to be from southeastern KY
@@cherr6red is that where they are from? I keep wanting to look but always dang forget lol. I grew up in pikeville and we don’t have any toll booths there so that’s what is throwing me off I guess!!
@@DWBJosh They live in West Virginia but Kentucky is very similar
The way ray put out his hand asking for alittle help walking is just so precious. Hope his knee gets better 👌🏽
Why in the world did they park the car so far away from the entrance to WalMart? It pained me to see Ray limping all that way.
Mark, I can tell you are definitely a wonderful man. I know this was filmed and uploaded a while ago, but still today you are interviewing and helping people. I know you made a lifetime impact on this family and I hope you are given the blessings you deserve for doing things like this. 🙏💛
I hope no one takes this the wrong way... but all she really wanted was a microwave. Something we all take for granted. So glad to see they got everything they wanted
EXACTLY! We take so much for granted that is a “wish & a dream” for many others. They could have filled up their carts even more, but got what they thought they wanted & needed. #Gratitude ❤️
I agree! So nice to see this!! We really all do take so much for granted. I would love to go around and help feed the homeless and help people out! If I had the money I would bc I have been down on my luck many times! ❤️
Sadly a lot of the so called homeless people could easily work and are junkies. Giving the real homeless people a bad name and I wont give money to pan handlers because I dont want to fuel an addiction.
Yeah I can’t imagine living without one for so long tbh
I take this the wrong way. How? Any way you can think of. OUTRAGE!!! Bbbweaaahhhhhhh
They’re all so sweet and innocent, almost like children. I can see why their neighbors protect them so fiercely.
Bet you won’t let them babysit!
@@Payote88 kinda of a f'd up to say. Always gotta be someone out there to throw shade at the downtrodden. Hope you learn to reflect on the things you say to people and improve yourself.
@@robosing225 it’s really more like truth. Ray can’t change his own pants how’s he gonna change a diaper?
@@Payote88 Still missing the point my dude. Just because you _can_ say rude shit doesn't mean you should. Context matters. Your comment came out of left field when the original comment was just trying to be nice and thoughtful.
I understand we can say what we want while being free to express ourselves, and while im not saying you can't say anything I'm just saying you could be more considerate and mindful of what you're saying about people is all.
There's plenty of "truth" we can spit out about anyone anywhere for any reason. But most people don't do it needlessly because context matters and being polite is a thing too.
@@robosing225 alright Mr philosophical.. if you felt what I felt and thought like I thought you’d act exactly as I act.
From my perspective, I’ve seen people say far worse on average about my culture then what I said about this cultural “norm.” Again from my perspective I was far nicer then people have been to me and will continue to do so but I am entitled to my opinion as are you. Feel free to disagree but my reality is mine, and yours is yours you can’t tell me how to feel about a situation or to “be nice when I see something clearly wrong. Remember Jesus smites sinners he’s not always “nice.” Have a good day.
Timmy is trying to save money, he wanted to pay one dollar 😂 awww im so happy they got what they needed and Timmy didnt forget about the dogs . ❤️
These are good hearted people. They didnt take advantage like other people would do. They got for them and their pets. God bless them ❤❤
When you asked Betty if she ever had boyfriends, the way she smiled it was like the years melted away and she was a young girl again. It was so sweet.
yes she kinda blushed it was really sweet
RIGHT!
wait what is the time stamp i think I missed it somewhere in the video 😭😭
@@jasminmendoza7579 5:34
so did she have boyfriends?
This video made me develop a whole new respect for Betty. She dedicated her entire life to protecting her family. On top of that, she seems like a very sweet and kind lady
I was reading the comments hoping that someone would say exactly what you did. Betty is an angel on earth.😇
She's an absolutly incredible woman. "I promised my Mommy..I promised my Mommy I wouldn't get married. That I would look after Ray, Lorraine and timmy. And I did".
Shes an exterior of steel as any protector would, but a heart of gold. Just look at how enthralled she is when she says "I want to get a microwave", the way she holds her hands when talking to Mark like a shy schoolgirl. It's probably the only affection she's ever gotten.
Betty really deserves kind respect for the care she gives to Ray, Lorraine, and Timmy. That’s quite a responsibility given their resources and her aging body.
Is she their sister or aunt?
@@jingyun4323 Betty is their sister.
Lorraine reminds me of a kitten. She’s so cute. Based on Timmy’s orderly stacking of the items on the conveyor belt at Walmart he’d get that place cleaned up if someone would point him in the right direction, lol.
when ray reached out to grab marks hand just really shows how much they trust him its so sweet
Very touching...
Timmy understood the assignment! He’s grabbing whole cases of Gatorade!
Hahaha yes!
@@trinidydae I’d rub a Apple strudel all over my chest just to feel a type of way and to tell my feelings in my meth head to bang it out like American pie

I love the way you love the Whittaker family. Very precious.
That went smoother than my family and I doing the Christmas shopping together. No one got punched or screamed at. 😂
Haha. Every time my family gets together, it's guaranteed my one trouble making aunt, will cause a falling out between someone 😂 Usually after a pint of Jim Beam 😂
Timmy very delicately placing his watermelon in the cart and then Ray just dropping his in cracked me up 🤣
That and the hats were my favorite parts of the video
Lmbo ! I was surprised Ray didn't crack up the watermelon...he is sooo sweet ! Bless his heart and all his siblings.
I loved how Ray spitted in the car😂
@@diannareese6940 love also when Timmy repeat when someone said waltmart.
@@dentheplayer2409 I was wondering if anyone caught that 🤣🤣🤣
Ray has made me realize just how terrible it would be to be in so much pain and not be able to communicate it to others. 😢
I don’t know why they don’t get his knee fixed
I wish they could get him a wheelchair
@missjenny1953 that's exactly right. You don't know.
@missjenny1953 it's because the health care in west Virginia is the worst in the country. I have family up there and this is basically their life as well. Most of the time you are driving an hour or two just to get to a grocery store think how far you'd have to drive to an urgent care?
Yeah it was very hard to watch him in so much pain at the end when he was lying down! I just hope he can get some medical help!
Mark ur their saving Grace sir..... Ur a true Hero buddy
Timmy and Ray getting excited about the coloring books made my heart so happy 😊
I didn't realize how affectionate Ray was. When he went to hold Mark's hand. Then when he hugged his friend.
The way Ray reached for Marks hand in the car park was so heartwarming. I hope he has been taken to see a doctor for his knee, hearing him whimper is heartbreaking.
i didnt watch the whole video for give me, can u post a time stamp to when that happened?
@@jaybajan around 10:38
I really hope it's just his knee. I'm really worried about him....
I agree. Someone should take him to a doctor.
Man, I started to tear up seeing Ray reach for your hand and you holding it with out a second question. The trust these people have put into you and that you earned is amazing. And the selfless care you give them is amazing as well. I wish I could help in anyway. I’m station in Virginia right now, not too far. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help the next time you come by
Ray just makes my heart melt. Thank you so so much for doing what you're doing Mark. We need more people like you.
I have nothing but admiration for Betty who obviously holds the family together, bless them all.
You realize in one of the videos they admit ray RAPED a woman nearby?? And they all laugh at it. These people aren’t people that you should feel bad for. They said ray forced himself on her and she was screaming. And they laugh at it. These people should be medically sterilized so they cannot reproduce and fuck up more than they already have. And 2 other family members are registered CHILD sex offenders. For raping a 13 year old girl. They are disgusting
Yeah I’m guessing Betty doesn’t have any mental disorders
When Betty explained why Ray doesn’t go to church anymore, it absolutely broke my heart. A place that’s -supposed- to be full of acceptance and love, and instead that one woman’s ignorance drove him away. She should leave so he can go back.
There's no hate quite like catholic love.
@@gemmadelatorre5535 Wow. But so true
time stamp?
I’m surprised the church didn’t catch fire when that evil woman stepped inside
That’s why us Christians have to take what we do at church seriously because one persons ignorance could affect generations of people from straying from religion
You have a big heart my friend. Thank you for taking them to Walmart. I’m so glad they have a lot of food now. LOL I love the way Ray and Tim got so excited!! 🤟🫶🫶👍😉😃
after watching wrong turn lol this family is just so sweet esp Ray
The way they were all so drained coming back from the store. They shopped til they dropped, as my mom would say. How sweet and pure.
Yes! I was watching and I was like...this is literally exactly the way I feel after any trip to Walmart. 😂
I agree
I wish Betty could have a little hobby for herself. She needs a bingo buddy in WV and someone to keep an eye on the others while she has a bingo night once a week. She doesn’t know what the good things in life are because she has given her whole life to others. She’s a saint. God bless the whole family.
What a beautiful idea! Surely there's people that would give up a couple hours a week to help her get out the house alone. It's necessary even if she doesn't know it. She would definitely feel good. Praying about this situation.
If I lived near her I would go spend time with them OR if she wanted to I'd take her to do whatever she enjoyed
I know right!!! I Love her soooo much!!! I wish I could pick her up once a week & shower her with spa days, bingos, cruises & just a simple you are appreciated because they can’t tell her that. She could have ran away like so many other people do. But she gave up her life to make sure they stayed together & out of the system
It tickled me when Ray took the money and was putting it in his pocket. This is a great series . Mark Great Job And God Bless You and your work❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ray just casually spitting in car 😅 3:39
You can tell Timmy felt like a million bucks walking out of Walmart with all his stuff
He was strutting! I couldn't stop smiling for him
he was about that coloring book
I totally think Timmy has a lot more going on upstairs than given credit for.❤️✌🏼❤️
@@casiegoon1959 I would have gave these people noting
@@chunky9791 I would get you a 1 way Uber to get you off the bridge ? You down homez leave all it behind
They knew how to care for their pets despite their condition. Tim didn't forget about their food. Bless you for your good heart
Bingo. You nailed it.
Aint alt appiest ea uhh my li
Yup and timmy is strong as a bull
@@kenben6240 cap
@@darian7988 you aint see him pick up that watermelon like it was nothing and the case of Gatorade hes the youngest
I love the fact he shows so much compassion for this family❤
Kenneth «accidently» was at Walmart at the same time as the rest of the gang.
In this video he states that he never visits them, but in videos to come we can see that he moves in with them. There is no doubt in my mind that this fella suddenly wanted to be part of the family again once he got to know that Mark came with money. So when he meets up with them here at Walmart he most likely knew they was there and I am pretty sure he hoped that Mark would pay for his phone. So when Mark said goodbye to him I think that was not part of his plan.
In the videos where he shows Mark the new house he makes sure that he mentions that he had paid it all himself and that he had ran out of money. He remarks that several times and at one point he even says «you didn’t get ME money»!
I think this sort of behaviour is just cruel and greedy. He has earlier kept distance to his family but is now suddenly a big part of it and stay close to Mark at all times when Mark is visiting.
To bad since he seems like a nice guy. I just hope that his intentions is to be part of the family for the right reasons and that he won’t run away when the money stops coming in.
The next updates will be very interesting to watch.
I noticed that too
When Lorraine saw those bras, I said out loud, “go ahead girl! Get you a bra!” Omg. That was the sweetest thing.
YES!!! I was hoping she would!
I think the colors intrjgued her.
I was thinking the same!
Same!! I hope she got one
She wanted that pink bra, go for it girl!
All of their personalities and styles came through in this video. Seeing Lorraine bashful and pause in front of the womens’ undergarments section, Timmy getting his coloring book and holding up that onesie, Ray dressing up for the occasion, and Betty pulling/pushing the carts for her family. This entire video was tugging at my heartstrings.
Don't do boom boom with you brother or sister and you'll be just fine
カエルDer Frosch not my real ones so I’ll be just fine 😉
I think Lorraine was just so sweet when she got shy
@@derfrosch1487
They didnt boom with their sister or brother.
They didnt choose to be this way.
But the joy they live no matter how simple should be an example we all try to follow...
What also comes into its own in this video are typical American clichés such as all the fat people rolling through the aisles in Walmart and the guy with the gun @ 20:34 😂
Betty is the saint of this family. The fact that they thought of everything but themselves first speaks volumes. Dog food first. I’ve seen people at my local Walmart in Florida who act a lot worse than them. Generation s of inbreeding. God Bless them
Timmy immediately knocking over a whole thing of chips had me in tears lmao
I felt bad for laughing but it just tickled me lmao.
Like your name
He didn’t knock it down it fell and he picked it back up
i know that was funny. he was a bit nervous, wondering if he was in trouble...:)
yea i laughed too. good on him for putting it back in place. I've seen people knock over displays and keep on walking without telling store clerks nor attempt to fix their mistake. smh. this video is so wholesome.
Bless Rays heart, he put on his suit jacket to go to Wal-Mart! I'm excited for them, having a shopping spree!!!
Felt the same .
God bless them, they are improving 🙏thank God for everything he has given me...praise God
With that sports coat dude could be in a famous rock band something called "Ray and the Sunshines".
HEY, HEY HEY. HEY!
21:43 when he gives his friend that hug. he's the sweetest.
The way they were tired after the trip was so cute ❤
I wish more people were as grateful for simple life items. This family warms my heart. Thank you for everything youdone to help them
We need to send Betty on a vacation!! She’s never traveled and spent her whole life just surviving and taking care of people 😞
God bless her heart
I agree !💚🙏🏼
Agreed
💯
I agree!
Timmy def needs a regular shopping trip..he was living his BEST LIFE..his smile is just beaming 😁
Timmy looked high as a kite on life on the way back..Dammit I LOVED this trip for them all.
Timmy is always so happy. I loved seeing him enjoying his time at Walmart.
for some reason i dont know of i feel like I fucks wit Timmy and Ray them boys seem cool and laid back
Agree the excitement and smile is everything
@@zenodee fr. You can tell they have a good genuine soul
Ok Ray! I see you with the Suit Jacket 😎
After watching all of these videos you can tell Timmy really enjoys drawing and writing. Love this family. 💗
Poor Ray, I wish he was able to get to a doctor for that knee. His cries of pain are heart breaking. Thanks for helping them n keeping in touch with them. You're probably the only person that has offered them any assistance in a long time.
Ikr. Ray was so excited😊
@@d4mskippy746 You could tell they all were ❤️
I agree. Heartbreaking. He sounds like a child and you can tell the pain is severe.
He needs a doctor for his knee
At least get Ray some Ibuprofen !
Can we just talk about how lovely that Walmart employee was, without sounding rude, sometimes it is difficult to know what to say in a situation like that. She handled it so well
pretty sure thats a guy.
Yes, she was very sweet to Ray
@@ForkyOrcoh they probably mixed it with the toll person that was a woman.. and thats why said she/her
@@ForkyOrc no the employee who talked to Ray about his knee was female! The man they met was an old neighbour. The man at checkout was kind too, letting him have his belt by scanning it early.
@@ForkyOrc it was a woman incel. But nice try
Mark, you are such a amazing person! You look after this family that desperately needs someone to look after their best interest !love you!
God bless you for trying.. you certainly gave it your all. A very sad situation but they seem to be happy, they don't know any other way of life. I appreciate you for caring enough about people to want to help them. Please continue your work. It is not in vain. ❤
I have so much respect for Betty. She literally gave up her entire life to take care of the family. She can’t even recall a good moment from her childhood because she had to mature at a young age. It’s beautiful what she’s doing though because a lot of people would of gave up.
That’s actually really sad and we shouldn’t be happy she did this
@@kadeelacayo4806 Who said anything about being happy about it ?
@@kadeelacayo4806 what’s sad is you “actually” struggle with comprehension🤦🏽♂️
@@barrekelly I don’t struggle with comprehension at all. Shit is nothing to respect
@@kadeelacayo4806 think its about respecting Bettys sacrifice and appreciating her tenacity of spirit to keep going. She has kept them together and as healthy as possible. She is a beautiful human. It's not about liking her struggles or taking joy in her suffering . It's about being inspired by her humanity.
The Whittaker’s taking on Walmart was very heartwarming to see. I could truly see Timmy thriving having more responsibilities he lights up when he’s helping. Watching Ray in pain was hard to watch.
Agreed, Timmy is very capable :) great to see his potential shine here
Your in to something here shopping w the Whittikers lol
Yes, heartwarming. It's great to see that the community clerks and neighbies are kind. I hope Ray finds some relief for his knee.
@@michellelcinkel4380 Lol, I’d totally watch a mini series of them doing daily activities and going shopping. Even just doing basic things around their land.
Thank you for showing a family, who probably doesn't see it much, true kindness and compassion.
There is something so incredibly special about Ray ; and I love how Betty's smile always conveys her gratitude, no words needed. ❤
I love that mark wasn’t embarrassed by them or trying to explain away their behaviour but simply accepted them as they are
I agree. It says so much about Mark's character. I have a son with Autism and I basically can tell what type of person someone is by the way they react to my son.
15:30 mark is fxxcking hot
Great job
Mark
Guidence, trust
Compassion
Wonderful
❤️
Can’t agree anymore with you ! Pride is our biggest fault at times !
Was thinking this exact same thing , Mark is a good soul ❤️
It's really good to see someone humanizing this family instead of exploiting them or making fun of them. Sometimes you can't always help the cards you're dealt in life, all you can do is try to play them the best you can. And that's what this family is doing.
He gives them money.
They spent well what he gave them... fixed the roof,buy a truck,built a new tiny house next to the old one
Yessss❤
@@z.m7483he bought all the stuff they wanted. The money made from these videos, he gives to the family. He’s given them over $30,000!
This guy interviews lots of ppl that get overlooked by society. I enjoy listening to everyone’s stories. I think it brings ppl together and creates a sense of community and understanding that the way we judge one another, just because we’re different, isn’t it.
Oh please, he's exploiting them for profit In the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump took an overwhelming victory in West Virginia, garnering 68.5% of the state's vote, his best performance of any state. Inbreeding is a GOP mainstay & strategy...
Shopping for clothing will confuse anybody!
Their personality fits the clothes they’ve picked. So cute
They haven't even gotten to Walmart and I just had to stop the playback to say that Tim really looks like he could thrive with some more challenges and responsibility. He absolutely loved paying the toll. As a parent of special needs, I can confirm that look of pride upon completion. Nice job, Mark. :)
I totally agree with you. And he was SO proud of himself!!
I thought the same thing, i used to work with special needs folks and he definitely had the same look of accomplishment ive seen on many others
That was Ray paying the toll.
@@tamalitalynn7339 Timmy paid toll around 8:25
The way he folded and stacked the shopping to be paid for too, he was just a man taking care of business!! 💜
He's very capable physically and cognitively, he understands everything, he just lacks the ability to verbally communicate in a way that outsiders understand.
His whole family can understand him. 💜
I really enjoyed watching this. The sheer joy on rays face was magical. I loved this and would love to see more of these of them maybe traveling or shopping. You should have a vacation video of them going somewhere this summer and premiere it. I honestly think it’ll get lots of views and give them memories that’ll last their entire life. 🫶🏼
Betty is in her 70's. She's lived her entire life in poverty and it's amazing that Mark, his team, and those generous people that donated have allowed this family to enjoy the simple comforts of life before they leave this world. I know Betty is gonna love that f*cking microwave and it makes me so happy.
Yo veo los vídeos aunque no entiendo el idioma, pero me encanta ver esa familia
Great point imagine cooking everyday in such poverty
It's not poverty to them,they seem to make things work and they are happy with the little they have and they have eachother that's the most important.
Omgosh..Betty is smiling from ear to ear with giddiness, just riding in the car to a simple Walmart trip. This is precious❤️🩹
Mark. You've got a heart of gold. I am living in South Africa. Thanks a lot for your kindness and help to this people. God Bless.
I got a tear in my eye when Loraine saw those pretty colored bras. I think she really wanted one. I hope she was able to find one for herself. It just shows that it is the little things in life that can bring us much joy. Thank you for sharing your kindness and spreading some joy in the world.
She absolutely wanted one!
Me too😢I went and looked at my lingerie drawer and felt so ridiculous. I have enough for weeks on end and this sweet lady was mesmerized by all the pretty colors and would have loved to have just one. I hope she chose one and enjoys it. This really made me appreciate all my blessings and drove it home.
I was wishing there was a woman there to help her get fitted for a pretty bra.
@@patrobertson2310 yes
Yes. She would have felt so pretty, I'm sure. And feminine. Twenty bucks would have bought her self esteem. Heartbreaking.😢
