I’ve been exposed so many times with people who tested positive immediately after our meeting that I’m wondering why I continue to test negative over and over. Maybe Ruby is protecting me.
@@SoftWhiteUnderbelly Yes, Ruby is definitely protecting you. She is a great person. If I may say, I served on the frontlines in covid units across ND from February to November. I still take covid crises jobs once a month, but I've never told anyone about my experience or what we were educated on about the virus. At first, I wasn't a believer because it didn't make sense why some of my patients were dying and why some had no symptoms. When more information came out, we learned that the virus is "genetically modified". This is why some test positive and have deadly symptoms, test positive and have no or mildly symptoms, or test negative after being exposed. It all depends on your genetics. I had the virus back in August and ended up in the hospital with severe symptoms and I'm young and healthy. The people in my household who were exposed never caught it and tested negative so many times. This is what makes the virus so scary and deadlier than the flu. There are people in their 90s with health issues surving and people my age dying. I recovered in September but still cannot breathe properly or tolerate running anymore. I could tell hundreds or horror stories about what I witnessed, but I still cannot believe this is real. Just wanted share what i experienced and learned. You have great genetics and are very lucky. We still don't know everything and it seems that new theories keep coming out every day. Hope this helped.
@@SoftWhiteUnderbelly OMG that’s so true. I always wondered why the homeless are thriving right now. No access to masks or washing hands and constant hand sanitizing.... wouldn’t they be the FIRST to go!? I’m sus... 🙄🙄🙄
I work as a mental health tech on an in-patient hospital unit, and we typically have at least one patient with this kind of unique storytelling ability. They’re always my favorite ones to sit with while I chart.
I once talked to a doctor when I was having bad depression with panic and anxiety. I said I think I'm going crazy and he said no you are not going crazy because crazy people think they are sane and that totally struck a cord with me. People with really bad mental issues will always say I'm not crazy I'm fine. They have no concept that they have mental issues.
I also have general anxaety disorder and like almost 9 years ago when got diagnosed i had same feeling, like i am going insane and my therapist told me the same exact thing. Going crazy its not sane act.
Mark this was my best friend from childhood that I lost contact with. She was absolutely amazing. I've been searching for her for years. I found the Los Angeles County medical examiners report for her now being deceased. I am heart broken 💔 thank YOU for listening to my dear friend Ruby
I know this from my now deceased brother who was homeless by choice a punk rocker till the end always clean in his jeans or camouflage pants jacket & always in Doc Martin boots, he’d busk in streets, couldn’t read music was deaf in 1 ear yet could play anything was in a punk band in the 80-90’s....on the streets of Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 were he was found dead in the st we flew down & sat with him 4 2 days b4 turning if the life support some things he’d say wouldn’t make sense yet others he was so spot on about government‘s wars, he so switched on like that xx I miss him 🥲😢😢 after the last nite I sat w him in the hospital I’d gone out in the dark 2 have a cigarette & a homeless guy came up 2 me lite it 4 me I was upset & told him what had happened, he told me your brother is happy now then a white feather just feel down in front of me no word of a lie, the 1 thing I noticed in Australia is that the homeless all look out 4 1another , he’d always said the real life is on the streets Jacqui
@@McK2Official She reminds me of a (modern age version of a) shaman or prophet. Her benevolent character paired up with her craziness renders her harmless, plus it might also be soothing to people suffering from similar but less severe ailments. She clearly has a lot of empathy and faith and hope in spite of all the hardships in her life. Thus her whole personality might be a beacon of hope to others. There once were tribes that considered schizophrenic people sacred. She also reminds me of the role Robin Williams played in the movie "The Fisher King" by Terry Gilliam.
Thank you for sharing. I always enjoy listening to Ruby speak and I think we can all learn something from her. It's great to see another follow-up with her. I am concerned about her health and wish I could help her in some way. I think she is a very strong person. She deserves so much love and happiness. I wish her nothing but the best and hope she stays safe.
Thank you This was my dear childhood friend that I lost contact with. I've been searching for her for years. I am heart broken 💔 for her and her beautiful daughter's
On that level she might truly have "raised" a few "dead" people from "underground" (soothed them back to hope from their lowest morale and most desperate points in life) - who knows?
@@elfsieben1450I know she did. This was my childhood friend that I lost contact with and have been searching for . . . For several years. She saved me when I was 14 years old. I am now 43. Wishhh I could have saved her from her pain. I am absolutely heart broken. ❤️
You can tell she’s so special. It’s just something about her that you see bits and pieces of and then it disappears again but then it resurfaces. I hope that someone helps her.
Yes there are little glimpses and brief periods that you almost feel like you understand what she is trying to say even with all those erratic thoughts and nonsensical sentences.
It’s beautiful to see how much healthier she looks: meat on her bones, sufficient clothing, a better outlook off the bat, and hair on her head. Worried about the welts and infections on her arms, she’s using heavily still, but she looks a lot better. You have to be helping her through these interviews ❤️
Yeah, I totally get what you’re saying. However, I unfortunately don’t think she’s healthier even though she may weigh more. I am not a health professional by any means so please take it with a grain of salt, as no one even can fully know someone’s health just by looking at them. Anyways, to me, she looks swollen, maybe due to edema and her infections, or perhaps fluid retention or more calories from an increase in alcohol consumption. I really really hope you’re right though, that she’s healthier. Just another perspective. Take care. ❤️
Is that before or after she's taken a dump in the street? Not trying to be demeaning but in our society dignity requires owning basic goods such as clothing and basic accomodation. If you don't own the goods then you are not worthy. Of friendship. Of being acknowledged. Or merit. That's why it's a morally bankrupt ****hole. Morality means nothing - well, not unless you have the goods.
@@unitedfools3493 You and "Edward Sounders," seem to share the same philosophy! "Life without Empathy or Sympathy!" It doesn't matter how you look at life. Everyone on this planet, rely on each other. It doesn't matter how self- efficient you think you are! If not now, or perhaps later in your life, someone who took a "dump on the street," is helping "you" right now!!! You don't know their past! Do some research on "mental illness!" And you'll begin to understand! Have good day! 🙂
@@sefusolace410 I am a Republican and I empathise with this lovely lady. Her situation brings tears to my eyes. Literally. God bless her. Just a terrible, terrible situation. Open borders is a big part of it with drugs. That said Trump has not done enough either. Death penalty for drug dealers. Trump and Biden should both be ashamed. Not to mention the CA governor. Trump should declare war on Mexico and maybe China for what they have done with drugs.
Ruby is one of the people I think about most often. If I did not have young children I would be on Skid Row volunteering. I feel so drawn to people like her. To people like Rebecca, Amanda ( rest her soul ) and Andrea. So many. Ruby just holds a place in my mind. I think about her all the time. I mean so many of these people do. These women. These are our sisters. Her mind is always so brilliant. The words she says are just so scary. Can you imagine living your life like this ? Seeing those things ? I have Mark on my heart all the time. How he carries this with him daily I have no clue. I have worked on street teams helping women in the adult industry get out and get clean. This is such a whole different level. I want to help. I pray one day I can help. My heart hurts that I cannot help. Ruby you are loved by a stranger in north east tn. I think of you every single day. I wish nothing more than a moment of peace for you.
My brother in laws mother is just like Ruby. It’s so sad. She basically dropped out of his life and pushed away her only son because she has so many mental health issues that are not treated. It’s heartbreaking to see people suffering like this. She once fell on the ice and badly broke her arm, when she went to the hospital she didn’t want them to give her an iv because she didn’t want them to take blood so she got up and left the hospital. She needed surgery but wouldn’t go back. Her arm is badly deformed now and she just uses so many illegal substances to cure her pain and stop her dealing with her issues. It’s so so sad.
I think poor ruby needs to catch up on some long lost sleep and let her mind rest.. I think a lot of addicts start losing the plot from not sleeping day after day
I don't think Rubys stories are that far fetched...there are places underground with nefarious things going on & maybe she is one of the many who have been. I wish you love & peace & extend this to all those that need it. Mark this is an amazing work you are doing x
Yes , your so true, history in the making we all live in our own bubbles, it’s heartbreaking but learn about a lot it children who needs too watch this no acting here 🙏☮️
@Stevie Woo you don’t even know what age I’m talking of , but good luck 😉 you may have regrets when you find out a family member molests one of your kids. That’s why all these addicts are here , same story over and over worlds full of sickos
I missed ruby, was just thinking about her the other day. It’s almost a miracle that no matter how far gone she is, she still manages to always find you
There are hundreds in your community without a doubt that are struggling in the same way if you feel this way I would recommend reaching out to one of these people
@@queasyislander0274 She isn't pushing religion on her! She already stated herself she believes! So stop pushing YOUR idea that there isn't a God. What comforts people may different for you but you have no right to push YOUR bs on anyone either. Its amazing when non believers accuse others of "pushing" things on to people, while pushing their own agenda to NOT believe.
@@queasyislander0274 Hi Karen. Me making a comment isn't pushing anything, a 5 year old knows that. Now that would be like me saying, quit pushing your *Hate* onto everyone.

@@clairelumiere2901 I mean that does happen in bad places but I'd guess by now he has garnered some level of respect in the community by now. People probably know who he is and grudgingly respect what he's doing
@@alexhatfield4448 There are pros & cons for people to know Mark & his particulars. I don’t think real life is different from this channel where Mark receives some hate & jealous reactions. Mark doesn’t accept help at his studio because he fears for what could happen to others. Mark loves risk & he’s taking a lot. There’s cause for the commenter to worry.
I used to work at ARCO in the city of Colton. Ruby speaks perfect Spanish. She would come in every day. I always tried to help her especially in the summer time. Unfortunately we would have to "kick" her out, she would be out of control. She'd cry and cry and asked me for another chance. I always gave in to her, she breaks my heart. May our Lord bless her and all those who suffer from mental health
Do you know if she suffered a brain injury? I ask because of of that deep scar on her forehead, or is it mental health, and/or drugs? She has the most beautiful smile! 😁💖 *EDIT: Wow, I had just, just hit "send" for my comment, and she started telling Mark about being hit in the head with a brick. 😥
I found a $5 bill coming out of the dollar tree today and on my way back home saw a homeless pushing a cart and I said to myself hmmmmm maybe he needs this $5 more than I do. So I busted a u turn and handed him the $5. Maybe the reason for me finding that $5 was for me to deliver it to him in this time of need. GOD IS GREAT 🙏🏽
I keep a check on this channel for updates on her. Something about her just draws me in. I think she is a good person. I feel like the need to protect her. My grandma was schizophrenic. And at times I think she reminds me of her. When she cries my heart just aches and I wanna hug her.
She’s speaking “word salad”, shows up in psychotics- people who have schizophrenia, and psychotic disorders. Our psychopharmacology professor discussed it in class. Word salad is chaotic, fragmented, and I think sounds poetic and even beautiful.

@@Kandeecee11 the sane live in different realities and are able to juggle them all without getting lost. The people that think society is reality, are just as insane as the people who are talking to themselves while homeless.
The Devil has her so confused it breaks my heart ..please papa deliver this precious soul from the enemies grip .. I pray the blood of Jesus over you sister ruby . No weapon formed against you shall prosper in Jesus name amen 🙏
@@jazmynbrown6820 strange you say that because God literally never shows up, repeatedly fails to answer prayers, and everything people claim was god helping them is either done by other people or could just as easily be chalked up to coincidence. This loving, all powerful being allows millions to suffer and die horribly every year, but according to some he has saved them, healed them, or answered them? I don’t buy it. Either God has favorites or he’s a figment of the imagination.
Mark, you had me tearing up here. Please give her a hug for me. She's such a beautiful soul. Can you get someone to help her with her abscesses ? Poor lady. Sending so much love. ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦☕️☕️☕️
Oh she’s speaking bro. The guy who was stabbing her in the head was raping her. Words have meanings. She’s talking to you ;but she doesn’t know the meaning of words. I used to have this problem.
I had no idea what the words , the order of words and the meaning of words meant. She Kinda reminded me of “hood talk” or “jail talk” it sounds like English but those words have different words and meanings. She also has emotional issues which have turned into psychological issues. Damn..... looking back I know I used to sound crazy as fuck.
I’m just amazed at her attitude of gratitude to the Lord for having everything she could possibly want!! Some people have so much and still can’t be slightly grateful for the food on their plate and clothes on their back.... I truly admire Ruby for her resilient spirit ❤️
She really needs to see someone about those abscesses, it's from injecting drugs and missing the vein and it's really sore and swollen. it could get infected.. probably already is. God bless your soul Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby!!! Keep 🌟shining🌟in your technicolor dream coat🧥. I hope you find help when the time is right. Addiction & Homelessness can happen to anyone.. so we feel blessed that you are here today and thankful for what you have. 🙌🌞🙏
@@wesleyAlan9179 I've been there myself and seen all that my ex was a IV user. One guy nearly had to have his leg amputated. I hope she gets the help too 💛
Ruby is amazing! She is highly intelligent but out of her mind. I know she has Jesus in her heart and he’s protecting her! Mark is a real human to keep in touch with her.
That boil on her arm could lead to an amputation or worse, so red, swollen and angry. I can't imagine what it would take to get her to have it seen. Hopefully someone will notice it before it gets worse.
It’s probably actually an abscess from missing a vein. But same scenario. Definitely needs to be fixed before the infection spreads through the whole arm.
Darling Ruby! You are truly loved. Mark, thank you so much for giving her a little bit of space and time to get stuff out. I hope nothing bad ever happens to her.......or you Mark!!
Reminds me of that one guy who was shooting heroin in his arm and he had an abscess the size of a plate on his arm he took his shirt off to expose it to Mark and all my God it was all the way to the white meat..an Abscess that he was injecting heroin into it
I am from Australia. I only recently learned that "skid row"is near Hollywood. I can not believe that the richest country in the world can not fund and help these people. Ok, you cant save everyone, not everyone wants to be saved, but surely the rich who drive to Beverly Hills, drive past skid row, what goes through their heads on the way home to their mansions? If the rich cut 10% of their money could you imagine the health care, housing, mental care and support that would provide. I do not mean to sound cynical, but I have been watching Ruby's videos over the last year, and in this one I feel she has deteriorated a lot. She needs medical help for her arm urgently, and her mental status has obviously suffered. Charity and non-profit groups are struggling to supply the necessary basic human resources, it makes me sad to think of the richer getting richer and a huge amount of working class and poor are getting poorer. I understand throwing money does not resolve the overall problem, but it can help a hell of a lot, at least it makes a start. Proper management, caring staff, staff who are trained and have the knowledge to best help homeless people, are all important too, but for God sakes, someone do something. These videos and the GoFundMe campaign is a step in the right direction, and thank you Mark for your insightful videos and the help you have given. I send you love, peace, healing Ruby, please get some help soon, at least for your arm darling. xx
Living in the UK, where we have free & easily accessible heath care- it is also baffling and heart wenching to me. Free health care is something that I really didn’t realise how much we take for granted in this country until I have gotten older. Watching these videos breaks my heart because these people, like Ruby, if they lived here I have no doubt that they would get provided with so much more help then in the US. What you said about taking money from the rich to give to the poor- thats exactly what our taxes in the UK go towards. If I need a doctor, I call up and go see them for free that very same day. I am so very lucky, ending up like Ruby could happen to anyone if there is no support when your going though a hard time.
They don’t care, it’s the black peoples that should be getting help and fixing there suburbs they don’t want to live like that and forced into crime and jail , it’s sad, but Australia’s not exactly looking after there black people either are they ?
I am American. Our government and the wealthy in this country hate the general American population, as evidenced by the fact that it took a pandemic just to get them to consider giving people assistance after many decades of sending money overseas, funding the military and evil wars based on lies to the American people, and blowing money on silly projects...and even then, it's been a paltry "scraps from the table" kind of assistance. Our politicians, conservatives AND liberals, refuse to pass legislation to help citizens without also attaching to it legislation that sends trillions of dollars to their own interests, such as large corporate donors, military, etc. Think on what that shows about how our government feels about us, we are not a priority for them. Elites living in cities hate rural Americans and poor urban people, and they would prefer we just die. Elites don't care whether we live or die, that's why we don't have healthcare. This stems back to the first English settlers to come here on a business venture who brought over the idea of "you only eat if you work" aka "your life only has value if we can profit off of it." Without getting too much into history, that principle has been part of American culture since the beginning, and has never really diminished but only morphed slightly. Even the ones that say they do care about us, like so many progressives, still find ways to send more money to their elite corporate friends than us and vote for legislation that keeps corporate friends in powerful positions. Even in a stimulus package for Americans, our government sent billions to other countries like Egypt while telling us that now is not the time for medicare for all. Why? Because our government hates us. They sound like that care whenever they are up for reelection, then renege on their promises and this has been happening for decades. Add to that, that if you even utter the idea that we need a revolution in this country, you get called a right wing extremist and your free speech gets diminished. We have a ruling class that helps to enable the elites to stay in power and justifies everything they do and wraps parts of it in liberalism, but it's not liberalism, it's neo-liberal corporate empowerment. Right now, some progressives are trying to upend the status quo and help people, but the core Democratic establishment and Republicans are united in squashing it....because they all hate us.
@@apatheticallyconcerned6574 Yes, you are right , I’m fully aware, of everything you wrote which is appreciated and hope,any others do, your in the fight of your life’s right now , those elites are a deep state around the world, how on earth they pulled of and robbed that election of trump is so corrupt. I think nearly all politicians are just out for them selves but your freedom of speech 🎤 in Facebook,Twitter, etc is elite , if Biden gets in with how much deals he’s has in China this will be the start of communism , I’m very worried for your people ,and in turn it effects the whole world , Nancy p worth is $120 million I mean how much greed can one have. In your country thou it’s the native Indians who have so much wisdom , they lived like most indigenous countries , lived well & respected land and animals. Now they are almost hidden away doomed to drink 🍺 them selves to death, just like Aborigines. It’s wrong on so many levels, take care the next week or so will be nuts 🥜🙏☮️❤️
That’s the first thing I noticed during her interview on her forearm she has what they call in the medical field a “Sebaceous cyst”. I work in a hospital and she needs to take care of that ASAP because it will get only worse and from the looks of it (from what I can see the lump that’s protruding from her forearm is already infected) it will get worse and continue to become even more infected growing even bigger in the shape of a ball but before you known it will b a size of a softball. If left untreated, benign cysts can cause serious complications including but not limited to further getting infarcted- the cyst fills with bacteria and pus, and becomes an abscess. If the abscess bursts inside the body, there is a risk of blood poisoning which can ultimately lead to death. It’s a great thing you do interviewing people like her self so others can learn from their mistakes but let’s also not exploit them but also provide some type of medical care especially when it’s so clear that she needs it. Maybe provide medical care first before doing the interviews. The people giving interviews need help, they help us by telling three stories and what they have been through the least we can do as a society is not only to learn from these people’s hardships but also provide them with medical care and a way out of this life. If we all cared for each other, overall as a society we’d b better off instead of this crabs in the bucket mentality.
I believe with all my heart then it starts with helping with the mental illness and then the drug addiction cuz if not it's going to be a never-ending cycle hope you have a great day everyone
Both at same time. They need to keep them on detox and maintenance for a period of time. I've watched a paranoid schizophrenic go completely drug free prescribed and illicit. He mentioned that for the whole period he was on medication it felt like he was asleep and couldn't really remember much of the 5 years. It's terrifying to think if someone is capable of being completely sober the medical profession will keep them sedated and asleep for their whole lives.
The drugs are a symptom. Even after you stop them tho, you still have to address the shit that you started taking them for in the 1st place. Its NOT fun
Dark Knight of the soul is real She stuck in the spiritual realm. She know what going on, knowledge is infinite and u have to be able to handle what your seeing or it will drive u crazy. She want to let everyone know whats going on if they listen. The veil been lifted from her eyes.
I be been thinking the same. She s not crazy, she's awake. Glad you wrote that. I ve been wanting to write a similar thing. But didn't know how to write it .
She said all these different people told her that they were born hundreds of years ago. Makes me wonder if people just mess with her because of how she is. She seemed so nice and even though she doesn't make sense I can listen to her for hours I think just to see where it goes
God Bless her🥰 She reminds me of my friends mom may she rest in peace. I learned that she really wasn't "crazy". I pay close attention when ppl talk in riddles, it sounds like WTF this person is talkin Crazy. It does sound like it but, the crazier it sounds 80% of the time it's real. They reality is a bit different they can see things others can't. I speak that language well. Shes so sweet & has an enormous spirit. God bless her ❤😊🙏
The one blessing in this is that she seams to be completely unaware of how serious her health is, she has such a beautiful soul. I’ve been binging on this channel and she is by far my favourite. I will always look out for updates on Ruby. Mark you are doing amazing work highlighting issues like this, keep up the good work and hopefully your new president will notice and respond in some way.
In Ruby's last video she asked god to send her a angel. And she said god sent her a football angel. Now this is making sense she knows what she is talking about she just expresses it differently.
Her and biggie peeped the devil on vacation, shiiiiit. My girl been through some shit. I love you rubie. Stay strong baby and take your meds. It's the only thing that will help you besides gods love
I hope Ruby has some access to health care on skid row to get treatment for the abscesses she always has on her arms. I’m surprised she hasn’t gotten septic. I wish we had a way to wave a wand and heal people’s hearts, souls, and minds. Ruby has such a beautiful heart.
Ohh yeaa another Ruby interview. I love her to death. I love seeing her and listening to her stories..Rebecca and Ruby are two of my favorites Mark, Thank you for introduces us to them..May God watch over Her and God keep you safe too Mark .. The Best channel on TH-cam!
This is the 2nd person that said they met the actual Jesus on skid row my one friend was down there for like 2 year passed out and this guy helped him up he said this dude said some thurl stuff then disappeared. He talked for an hr about it
I know this may sound weird but I believe she did see Jesus, and I know for a fact she’s not lying about demons walking this Earth. Her thoughts are definitely scattered but if you pay attention to what she’s saying, she’s giving insight on things that only the CHOSEN are able to see/experience... now I’m rambling, but I know those that “get it”, will get it. ❤️
@@IncredibleIceCastle I’ve dealt with a person that possessed the dark spirit I speak of. If you have insight on how to deal with this matter, I can gladly send you photos of things that this person has done to ME. It’s nothing less than EVIL. If you’re here for sh!ts and giggles, then move along. Be blessed and may God be with You. ❤️
As crazy as she sounds, if God is anywhere on this earth, I feel like he’s there in those streets with all those poor souls who are broken and hurting. I’m not religious at all. Spirituality is a whole different thing. If that’s what Ruby needs, then he’s there with her.
she said she doesn't dream, probably because she doesn't know the difference between a dream and reality anymore? listening to her story is like listening from someone's story of a dream
I truly believe Angels come in form of human beings. But you know they can’t tell us they are testing us. I understand her language, I understand she sounds “crazy “so 2 speak but , nun the less I understand her words. I have a friend that is in recovery from wet aka dippers pcp. I was 1 of the very few ppl that understood her 😂. I remember why her girlfriend said I don’t know how you can understand her because I don’t understand why she starts talking like that. She’s doing very well now the struggles real I’m also living a life in recovery. May Ruby have The Most Peace & Blessings in this life & the hear after
I would be more afraid of staphylococcus bacteria and or MRSA, if I were Mark, they are contagious. Unlike RH neg blood people may have immunity or resistance to covid, bacteria are a nasty pathogen you really need gloves and masks and gowns around.
this is the 1st time i’ve listened to Ruby and she’s definitely not boring !,i don’t mean that in a demeaning way at all,she’s just hard to follow but she seems genuine and like a nice caring person so🙂,the best of luck to you Ruby
Poor Ruby! I've been watching her since Mark started interviewing her. That abscess on her right arm - wowza!! It needs medical attention. How she survives on the streets is beyond me .... only for the grace of God. ❤🙏
It is frightening to me that we (society) allow people to live so poorly and for so long. She is not invisible. I cannot imagine how many horrible things happened to her before and after her move to the street. She is so vulnerable. Anyone watching this video knows she cannot/will not seek assistance. Unbelievably sad.
Ruby is captivating. Just popped by to see if there is another follow up....sadly not.....but I'm sure I'm not the only one checking up on this soul. Thank you Mark for opening these doors for us.
Something about Ruby is so charming that it is difficult to care that she is making no sense.....after months of the plandemic ....I'm just enjoying the ride with her. Bless you lovely Ruby. You reminded joy is of our own making.
I think she is one of the most schizophrenic person that I've ever heard talk about the things they see I love her I can listen to her all day does that make me crazy she makes you stop and think thanks for sharing this Hope you're having a blessed day
She is such a lost soul, I wonder why if having family they don't try to help her. The streets are no place for a woman like her. Even the strongest of people have a hard time surviving the streets. Its such a shame and I hope she has angles surrounding her. She needs the abscess on her arm looked at asap, that doesn't look good. Bless her soul.
Truly lost count of the times I've wept over Ruby and other souls documented here on Soft White Underbelly by Mark Laita. The homeless are personally touching my life lately too. I'm poor but housed and sober. How can I not be grateful every fucking day of my life. I love you Ruby. God told me this as I watched you talk to us. He told me this about you and Mark : For of such is the kingdom of Heaven. Demons may curse you but Angels will love you and keep you Ruby. I love you beautiful lady.
So many different thoughts moving quickly through her head and out of her mouth. Too many rapid emotional changes in such a a short time. With all this, I can still see she is a smart, loving, intelligent human. One who needs help. One who deserves help. I hope that she gets it.
I find her eyes to be extremely kind and there is something very lovable about her! I wish so many people weren't pointing fingers at Mark to "bring her get her arm looked at" she's her own person and I'm sure if situation presented itself Mark would gladly bring her. :)
Maybe Mark doesn't honestly believe in the covid?
I’ve been exposed so many times with people who tested positive immediately after our meeting that I’m wondering why I continue to test negative over and over. Maybe Ruby is protecting me.

This is why some test positive and have deadly symptoms, test positive and have no or mildly symptoms, or test negative after being exposed. It all depends on your genetics. I had the virus back in August and ended up in the hospital with severe symptoms and I'm young and healthy. The people in my household who were exposed never caught it and tested negative so many times. This is what makes the virus so scary and deadlier than the flu. There are people in their 90s with health issues surving and people my age dying. I recovered in September but still cannot breathe properly or tolerate running anymore. I could tell hundreds or horror stories about what I witnessed, but I still cannot believe this is real. Just wanted share what i experienced and learned. You have great genetics and are very lucky. We still don't know everything and it seems that new theories keep coming out every day. Hope this helped.

She IS A MIRACLE 🦍🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree! She is my favorite too. She has a great sense of humor. I'm sure she is exhausted with her thoughts and emotions.
She is the miracle
She loves you Mark, in her own wacky and wonderful ways. What a special soul she is ⭐❤
I once talked to a doctor when I was having bad depression with panic and anxiety. I said I think I'm going crazy and he said no you are not going crazy because crazy people think they are sane and that totally struck a cord with me. People with really bad mental issues will always say I'm not crazy I'm fine. They have no concept that they have mental issues.
I also have general anxaety disorder and like almost 9 years ago when got diagnosed i had same feeling, like i am going insane and my therapist told me the same exact thing. Going crazy its not sane act.
What if, Just what if, what she saying is real ❓🤔
damn
I hate that saying because the majority of us think we're sane, so are we all insane without knowing it?
@@LeftOfToday yes, to a degree. It's just that many of us have people in our lives to influence us to keep it together.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to her Mark. You are one of the angels that she asked for.
Mark this was my best friend from childhood that I lost contact with. She was absolutely amazing. I've been searching for her for years. I found the Los Angeles County medical examiners report for her now being deceased. I am heart broken 💔 thank YOU for listening to my dear friend Ruby
She always breaks out in tears. She has so much pain.
@C.LA.N Young thank you 😘
@C.LA.N Young north east coast US
I'm not convinced it's pain. Her emotionality seems disconnected to her thoughts.
@goodkarna it is pain. This was my dear childhood friend heart broken 💔
This is like watching someone rapidly changing the channels on a tv but it's a person's brain. It's hard to figure out how to react to it.
Imagine living with it, my brain is on fire normally but this must be crazy feeling
I bet that’s what it feels like too
Well said
its fragmented in the speech. it's terrible curse to have
I know this from my now deceased brother who was homeless by choice a punk rocker till the end always clean in his jeans or camouflage pants jacket & always in Doc Martin boots, he’d busk in streets, couldn’t read music was deaf in 1 ear yet could play anything was in a punk band in the 80-90’s....on the streets of Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 were he was found dead in the st we flew down & sat with him 4 2 days b4 turning if the life support some things he’d say wouldn’t make sense yet others he was so spot on about government‘s wars, he so switched on like that xx I miss him 🥲😢😢 after the last nite I sat w him in the hospital I’d gone out in the dark 2 have a cigarette & a homeless guy came up 2 me lite it 4 me I was upset & told him what had happened, he told me your brother is happy now then a white feather just feel down in front of me no word of a lie, the 1 thing I noticed in Australia is that the homeless all look out 4 1another , he’d always said the real life is on the streets Jacqui
Poor Ruby how on earth does she survive on those streets? She really needs to be somewhere safe bless her
I think her craziness protects her. Some people are just too crazy for crazy people
Shit. Ruby will probably saw your head off for violating her... And shell get away with it..
Delusions don't qualify as stupid or incapacitated.
@@McK2Official She reminds me of a (modern age version of a) shaman or prophet. Her benevolent character paired up with her craziness renders her harmless, plus it might also be soothing to people suffering from similar but less severe ailments. She clearly has a lot of empathy and faith and hope in spite of all the hardships in her life. Thus her whole personality might be a beacon of hope to others. There once were tribes that considered schizophrenic people sacred. She also reminds me of the role Robin Williams played in the movie "The Fisher King" by Terry Gilliam.
Street people dont want to be near them. They take their money and whatever else they can, then just leave them.
Thank you for sharing. I always enjoy listening to Ruby speak and I think we can all learn something from her. It's great to see another follow-up with her. I am concerned about her health and wish I could help her in some way. I think she is a very strong person. She deserves so much love and happiness. I wish her nothing but the best and hope she stays safe.
Thank you

Thank you for putting that beautiful perception into words! I love that.
...a beautiful spirit trapped in a deeply troubled society.
Yes this! When she smiles and laughs her spirit shines.
On that level she might truly have "raised" a few "dead" people from "underground" (soothed them back to hope from their lowest morale and most desperate points in life) - who knows?
@@elfsieben1450I know she did. This was my childhood friend that I lost contact with and have been searching for . . . For several years. She saved me when I was 14 years old. I am now 43. Wishhh I could have saved her from her pain. I am absolutely heart broken. ❤️
Ruby: I’ve got Covid
Mark: you have it ?! 😨
Ruby: no , I don’t.
Mark: 😰
LMFAO 🤣🤣 I was cracking up too funny I wish I could have seen the look on his face
😭
😂😂😂😬
Yeah wtf
This was going to be the shortest video ever.
You can tell she’s so special. It’s just something about her that you see bits and pieces of and then it disappears again but then it resurfaces. I hope that someone helps her.
Yes there are little glimpses and brief periods that you almost feel like you understand what she is trying to say even with all those erratic thoughts and nonsensical sentences.
It’s beautiful to see how much healthier she looks: meat on her bones, sufficient clothing, a better outlook off the bat, and hair on her head. Worried about the welts and infections on her arms, she’s using heavily still, but she looks a lot better. You have to be helping her through these interviews ❤️
Yeah, I totally get what you’re saying. However, I unfortunately don’t think she’s healthier even though she may weigh more. I am not a health professional by any means so please take it with a grain of salt, as no one even can fully know someone’s health just by looking at them. Anyways, to me, she looks swollen, maybe due to edema and her infections, or perhaps fluid retention or more calories from an increase in alcohol consumption.
I really really hope you’re right though, that she’s healthier. Just another perspective. Take care. ❤️
Pity steals one’s dignity. Ruby doesn’t seem to need pity, she still has dignity.
Is that before or after she's taken a dump in the street?
Not trying to be demeaning but in our society dignity requires owning basic goods such as clothing and basic accomodation. If you don't own the goods then you are not worthy. Of friendship. Of being acknowledged. Or merit.
That's why it's a morally bankrupt ****hole. Morality means nothing - well, not unless you have the goods.

@@sefusolace410 I am a Republican and I empathise with this lovely lady. Her situation brings tears to my eyes. Literally. God bless her. Just a terrible, terrible situation. Open borders is a big part of it with drugs. That said Trump has not done enough either. Death penalty for drug dealers. Trump and Biden should both be ashamed. Not to mention the CA governor. Trump should declare war on Mexico and maybe China for what they have done with drugs.
Ruby is one of the people I think about most often. If I did not have young children I would be on Skid Row volunteering. I feel so drawn to people like her. To people like Rebecca, Amanda ( rest her soul ) and Andrea. So many. Ruby just holds a place in my mind. I think about her all the time. I mean so many of these people do. These women. These are our sisters. Her mind is always so brilliant. The words she says are just so scary. Can you imagine living your life like this ? Seeing those things ? I have Mark on my heart all the time. How he carries this with him daily I have no clue. I have worked on street teams helping women in the adult industry get out and get clean. This is such a whole different level. I want to help. I pray one day I can help. My heart hurts that I cannot help. Ruby you are loved by a stranger in north east tn. I think of you every single day. I wish nothing more than a moment of peace for you.
A lovely message. You are a good soul.
Sweet soul ❤️
Fantastic comment/post. Beautiful words 💖.
My brother in laws mother is just like Ruby. It’s so sad. She basically dropped out of his life and pushed away her only son because she has so many mental health issues that are not treated. It’s heartbreaking to see people suffering like this. She once fell on the ice and badly broke her arm, when she went to the hospital she didn’t want them to give her an iv because she didn’t want them to take blood so she got up and left the hospital. She needed surgery but wouldn’t go back. Her arm is badly deformed now and she just uses so many illegal substances to cure her pain and stop her dealing with her issues. It’s so so sad.
God bless you. Tears from your compassion! Praise you! And Godspeed ruby.
I think poor ruby needs to catch up on some long lost sleep and let her mind rest.. I think a lot of addicts start losing the plot from not sleeping day after day
Great point
I Absolutely agree!
It's also a fact that people who suffer from schizophrenia have a hard time with going to sleep.
This is an interesting comment. I had never thought of that but it makes, sense.
Oh ya! the lack of sleep is a huge part of it actually.
I don't think Rubys stories are that far fetched...there are places underground with nefarious things going on & maybe she is one of the many who have been. I wish you love & peace & extend this to all those that need it. Mark this is an amazing work you are doing x
These videos are hard to watch, but I guess that's the point.
Yes , your so true, history in the making we all live in our own bubbles, it’s heartbreaking but learn about a lot it children who needs too watch this no acting here 🙏☮️
@Stevie Woo you don’t even know what age I’m talking of , but good luck 😉 you may have regrets when you find out a family member molests one of your kids. That’s why all these addicts are here , same story over and over worlds full of sickos

I used to work at ARCO in the city of Colton. Ruby speaks perfect Spanish. She would come in every day. I always tried to help her especially in the summer time. Unfortunately we would have to "kick" her out, she would be out of control. She'd cry and cry and asked me for another chance. I always gave in to her, she breaks my heart. May our Lord bless her and all those who suffer from mental health
Do you know if she suffered a brain injury? I ask because of of that deep scar on her forehead, or is it mental health, and/or drugs?
She has the most beautiful smile!

I found a $5 bill coming out of the dollar tree today and on my way back home saw a homeless pushing a cart and I said to myself hmmmmm maybe he needs this $5 more than I do. So I busted a u turn and handed him the $5. Maybe the reason for me finding that $5 was for me to deliver it to him in this time of need. GOD IS GREAT 🙏🏽

She’s speaking “word salad”, shows up in psychotics- people who have schizophrenia, and psychotic disorders. Our psychopharmacology professor discussed it in class. Word salad is chaotic, fragmented, and I think sounds poetic and even beautiful.

Weird it’s like she’s speaking English but I have no idea what’s she’s saying, just saying random words in a random order.
Oh she’s speaking bro. The guy who was stabbing her in the head was raping her. Words have meanings. She’s talking to you ;but she doesn’t know the meaning of words. I used to have this problem.
I had no idea what the words , the order of words and the meaning of words meant. She Kinda reminded me of “hood talk” or “jail talk” it sounds like English but those words have different words and meanings. She also has emotional issues which have turned into psychological issues. Damn..... looking back I know I used to sound crazy as fuck.
“Word salad”. Shows up in psychotics. Often sounds like poetry.
Heya CArl. Some mental health professionals call this "word salad". It's a common symptom of schizophrenia and some kinds of autism.

abscesses from missing IV drugs. when I was using my arms got so used to it.

Ruby is amazing! She is highly intelligent but out of her mind. I know she has Jesus in her heart and he’s protecting her! Mark is a real human to keep in touch with her.
That boil on her arm could lead to an amputation or worse, so red, swollen and angry. I can't imagine what it would take to get her to have it seen. Hopefully someone will notice it before it
gets worse.
I hope Mark said something to her off camera.
That's from shooting dope and blowing out veins, getting infections in them, not being clean... it's a sad, sad thing....
It’s probably actually an abscess from missing a vein. But same scenario. Definitely needs to be fixed before the infection spreads through the whole arm.
Her other hand looks green
Her forearms and hands don’t match her upper arm. They seem swollen.
I ❤️Ruby spirit, she has more life in her that I can handle even after being through everything, I see the beauty in her personality!!

Awww, I just adore Ruby! Thank you, Mark, for the update.
I am from Australia. I only recently learned that "skid row"is near Hollywood. I can not believe that the richest country in the world can not fund and help these people. Ok, you cant save everyone, not everyone wants to be saved, but surely the rich who drive to Beverly Hills, drive past skid row, what goes through their heads on the way home to their mansions? If the rich cut 10% of their money could you imagine the health care, housing, mental care and support that would provide. I do not mean to sound cynical, but I have been watching Ruby's videos over the last year, and in this one I feel she has deteriorated a lot. She needs medical help for her arm urgently, and her mental status has obviously suffered. Charity and non-profit groups are struggling to supply the necessary basic human resources, it makes me sad to think of the richer getting richer and a huge amount of working class and poor are getting poorer. I understand throwing money does not resolve the overall problem, but it can help a hell of a lot, at least it makes a start. Proper management, caring staff, staff who are trained and have the knowledge to best help homeless people, are all important too, but for God sakes, someone do something. These videos and the GoFundMe campaign is a step in the right direction, and thank you Mark for your insightful videos and the help you have given. I send you love, peace, healing Ruby, please get some help soon, at least for your arm darling. xx
Living in the UK, where we have free & easily accessible heath care- it is also baffling and heart wenching to me. Free health care is something that I really didn’t realise how much we take for granted in this country until I have gotten older.
Watching these videos breaks my heart because these people, like Ruby, if they lived here I have no doubt that they would get provided with so much more help then in the US. What you said about taking money from the rich to give to the poor- thats exactly what our taxes in the UK go towards. If I need a doctor, I call up and go see them for free that very same day.
I am so very lucky, ending up like Ruby could happen to anyone if there is no support when your going though a hard time.
Thanks to the corrupt government they are no longer the richest in the country 😏
They don’t care, it’s the black peoples that should be getting help and fixing there suburbs they don’t want to live like that and forced into crime and jail , it’s sad, but Australia’s not exactly looking after there black people either are they ?
I am American. Our government and the wealthy in this country hate the general American population, as evidenced by the fact that it took a pandemic just to get them to consider giving people assistance after many decades of sending money overseas, funding the military and evil wars based on lies to the American people, and blowing money on silly projects...and even then, it's been a paltry "scraps from the table" kind of assistance. Our politicians, conservatives AND liberals, refuse to pass legislation to help citizens without also attaching to it legislation that sends trillions of dollars to their own interests, such as large corporate donors, military, etc. Think on what that shows about how our government feels about us, we are not a priority for them.
Elites living in cities hate rural Americans and poor urban people, and they would prefer we just die. Elites don't care whether we live or die, that's why we don't have healthcare. This stems back to the first English settlers to come here on a business venture who brought over the idea of "you only eat if you work" aka "your life only has value if we can profit off of it." Without getting too much into history, that principle has been part of American culture since the beginning, and has never really diminished but only morphed slightly. Even the ones that say they do care about us, like so many progressives, still find ways to send more money to their elite corporate friends than us and vote for legislation that keeps corporate friends in powerful positions. Even in a stimulus package for Americans, our government sent billions to other countries like Egypt while telling us that now is not the time for medicare for all. Why? Because our government hates us. They sound like that care whenever they are up for reelection, then renege on their promises and this has been happening for decades.
Add to that, that if you even utter the idea that we need a revolution in this country, you get called a right wing extremist and your free speech gets diminished. We have a ruling class that helps to enable the elites to stay in power and justifies everything they do and wraps parts of it in liberalism, but it's not liberalism, it's neo-liberal corporate empowerment. Right now, some progressives are trying to upend the status quo and help people, but the core Democratic establishment and Republicans are united in squashing it....because they all hate us.
@@apatheticallyconcerned6574 Yes, you are right , I’m fully aware, of everything you wrote which is appreciated and hope,any others do, your in the fight of your life’s right now , those elites are a deep state around the world, how on earth they pulled of and robbed that election of trump is so corrupt. I think nearly all politicians are just out for them selves but your freedom of speech 🎤 in Facebook,Twitter, etc is elite , if Biden gets in with how much deals he’s has in China this will be the start of communism , I’m very worried for your people ,and in turn it effects the whole world , Nancy p worth is $120 million I mean how much greed can one have.

Ruby....... take her to get her arm fixed up.
I’ve gone through SO MANY comments and your comment was the only one that mentioned that abscess! There’s no way that’s not incredibly painful!
@@jessicapabstconrad Right!!
@Edward Sounders that is mean, why do you say that? 😢
That was the first thing I thought, bless her heart, as ill as she is that is the last thing she needs.
That’s the first thing I noticed during her interview on her forearm she has what they call in the medical field a “Sebaceous cyst”. I work in a hospital and she needs to take care of that ASAP because it will get only worse and from the looks of it (from what I can see the lump that’s protruding from her forearm is already infected) it will get worse and continue to become even more infected growing even bigger in the shape of a ball but before you known it will b a size of a softball. If left untreated, benign cysts can cause serious complications including but not limited to further getting infarcted- the cyst fills with bacteria and pus, and becomes an abscess. If the abscess bursts inside the body, there is a risk of blood poisoning which can ultimately lead to death. It’s a great thing you do interviewing people like her self so others can learn from their mistakes but let’s also not exploit them but also provide some type of medical care especially when it’s so clear that she needs it. Maybe provide medical care first before doing the interviews. The people giving interviews need help, they help us by telling three stories and what they have been through the least we can do as a society is not only to learn from these people’s hardships but also provide them with medical care and a way out of this life. If we all cared for each other, overall as a society we’d b better off instead of this crabs in the bucket mentality.
It has got to be hell being in Ruby's head. So many thoughts... so many emotions... one after another. The poor thing.
I just can't imagine all those colliding thoughts.😥
@@joolzg1936 Me either. She switches topics on a dime, and contradicts herself within seconds.
She's transmuting thoughts, feelings, emotions for many of us. One day more will understand. She's a true warrior and her soul is honored 💜
She's high. Very high.
I don't think she sees a problem with it :)
I believe with all my heart then it starts with helping with the mental illness and then the drug addiction cuz if not it's going to be a never-ending cycle hope you have a great day everyone
Dual diagnosis is a sim if a bitch man.
Both at same time. They need to keep them on detox and maintenance for a period of time. I've watched a paranoid schizophrenic go completely drug free prescribed and illicit. He mentioned that for the whole period he was on medication it felt like he was asleep and couldn't really remember much of the 5 years. It's terrifying to think if someone is capable of being completely sober the medical profession will keep them sedated and asleep for their whole lives.
They released the mentally ill into the streets
The drugs are a symptom. Even after you stop them tho, you still have to address the shit that you started taking them for in the 1st place. Its NOT fun
@@valeriecoleman6480 well where do you suppose we put them? It costs about $28k to house and treat one person for a year. Who's paying?
Bless her heart ❤ she's all over the place! She needs some help in every way.
My mom is a very bad fentanyl addict and says similar things about seeing and talking to jesus and demons..interesting.
It’s true.....Jesus and demons are real. And people who don’t believe are being tricked myths devil to not believe. Trust me
😭
@@suezannemarie292 why is that funny
Hard drugs put you into the spirit world, my elders used to say.
@@aatsista wrong. You don’t need drugs to get to the spirit world my friend
Dark Knight of the soul is real
She stuck in the spiritual realm. She know what going on, knowledge is infinite and u have to be able to handle what your seeing or it will drive u crazy. She want to let everyone know whats going on if they listen. The veil been lifted from her eyes.
Thats a really interesting take on it
I agree she seems very woke about some serious issues!!
I be been thinking the same. She s not crazy, she's awake. Glad you wrote that. I ve been wanting to write a similar thing. But didn't know how to write it .
Well stated! I love when i find others who are awake and in the know.
can’t sleep.. thank God for a new video! 🤗
Same
She said all these different people told her that they were born hundreds of years ago. Makes me wonder if people just mess with her because of how she is. She seemed so nice and even though she doesn't make sense I can listen to her for hours I think just to see where it goes
Me too.... she is like an adventure ride
@@TheeSnitch A bad ride.
Sounds like spirits/dark spirits/demons
I thought the exact same thing, about people messing with her.
when a bunch of people are on drugs together…they go places if you know what i mean
God Bless her🥰 She reminds me of my friends mom may she rest in peace. I learned that she really wasn't "crazy". I pay close attention when ppl talk in riddles, it sounds like WTF this person is talkin Crazy. It does sound like it but, the crazier it sounds 80% of the time it's real. They reality is a bit different they can see things others can't. I speak that language well. Shes so sweet & has an enormous spirit. God bless her ❤😊🙏
So True
AGREED!
You are just as delusional as she is
@@Wes-Tyler lol really lol 😆 sorry ur not gifted with the ability to understand delusional ppl. Most arrogant people cant there ignorance blinds them.
yup
Many people live their whole lives seeking God and never finding Him.
Blessed are those who have seen God.
Bless you Ruby.
"never stop learning" Perfect! I agree.
The one blessing in this is that she seams to be completely unaware of how serious her health is, she has such a beautiful soul.
I’ve been binging on this channel and she is by far my favourite. I will always look out for updates on Ruby.
Mark you are doing amazing work highlighting issues like this, keep up the good work and hopefully your new president will notice and respond in some way.
Mark’s laugh when she said the equator was across the street lol
In Ruby's last video she asked god to send her a angel. And she said god sent her a football angel. Now this is making sense she knows what she is talking about she just expresses it differently.
Her and biggie peeped the devil on vacation, shiiiiit. My girl been through some shit. I love you rubie. Stay strong baby and take your meds. It's the only thing that will help you besides gods love
My love for Ruby is too much. She's so pure.
I hope Ruby has some access to health care on skid row to get treatment for the abscesses she always has on her arms. I’m surprised she hasn’t gotten septic. I wish we had a way to wave a wand and heal people’s hearts, souls, and minds. Ruby has such a beautiful heart.
Ohh yeaa another Ruby interview. I love her to death. I love seeing her and listening to her stories..Rebecca and Ruby are two of my favorites Mark, Thank you for introduces us to them..May God watch over Her and God keep you safe too Mark .. The Best channel on TH-cam!
This is the 2nd person that said they met the actual Jesus on skid row my one friend was down there for like 2 year passed out and this guy helped him up he said this dude said some thurl stuff then disappeared. He talked for an hr about it
I believe that. I believe. Wow. Ugh that makes me emotional. The King walks through those streets...
She's one of those people on this channel that makes me grateful everyday for the big and little things ❤️
I know this may sound weird but I believe she did see Jesus, and I know for a fact she’s not lying about demons walking this Earth. Her thoughts are definitely scattered but if you pay attention to what she’s saying, she’s giving insight on things that only the CHOSEN are able to see/experience... now I’m rambling, but I know those that “get it”, will get it. ❤️
Research Gangstalking it's a program
@@tip6603 will do, thanks
You know for a fact that demons walk this earth? Please provide evidence
@@IncredibleIceCastle I’ve dealt with a person that possessed the dark spirit I speak of. If you have insight on how to deal with this matter, I can gladly send you photos of things that this person has done to ME. It’s nothing less than EVIL. If you’re here for sh!ts and giggles, then move along. Be blessed and may God be with You. ❤️
Oh I definitely agree ! This woman is seeing demons too
I had to watch Ruby again . I just adore her sweet way.
As crazy as she sounds, if God is anywhere on this earth, I feel like he’s there in those streets with all those poor souls who are broken and hurting. I’m not religious at all. Spirituality is a whole different thing. If that’s what Ruby needs, then he’s there with her.
she said she doesn't dream, probably because she doesn't know the difference between a dream and reality anymore? listening to her story is like listening from someone's story of a dream
Her smile cracking when she said she met the devil w/ biggie smalls was precious.
I hope Ruby’s arm doesn’t turn out like Kevin’s.
What if she is the Angel? 💜
❤️
❤️😇❤️
She is know doubt 💖
I truly believe Angels come in form of human beings. But you know they can’t tell us they are testing us. I understand her language, I understand she sounds “crazy “so 2 speak but , nun the less I understand her words. I have a friend that is in recovery from wet aka dippers pcp. I was 1 of the very few ppl that understood her 😂.
I remember why her girlfriend said I don’t know how you can understand her because I don’t understand why she starts talking like that. She’s doing very well now the struggles real I’m also living a life in recovery. May Ruby have The Most Peace & Blessings in this life & the hear after
❤️
She had such a sweetness to her and her life lesson is spot on.❤️
She should be more worried about septicemia than getting Covid
Dear lord yes
Is that what’s on her arm? Poor thing!
Yes! Covid has over 98% survival rate... whatever she is dealing with on her arm could rule her bloodstream, go to her heart or brain.. sad
I would be more afraid of staphylococcus bacteria and or MRSA, if I were Mark, they are contagious. Unlike RH neg blood people may have immunity or resistance to covid, bacteria are a nasty pathogen you really need gloves and masks and gowns around.
Ruby is such a lovely spirit that God must treasure. Thank you Ruby
Ruby has the most beautiful smile, she warms my heart.❤
She’s a beautiful woman and I hope she finds some peace, and I hope she receives the help she deserves.
Such a nice lady. Reality and life has abandoned her a long time ago... but I can tell she's such a sweetheart.
this is the 1st time i’ve listened to Ruby and she’s definitely not boring !,i don’t mean that in a demeaning way at all,she’s just hard to follow but she seems genuine and like a nice caring person so🙂,the best of luck to you Ruby
I love Ruby. I'm always happy to see she's still alive. She may be in her own world, but there is something about her that is special.
She has a sweet soul. God protect her in her life.
Poor Ruby! I've been watching her since Mark started interviewing her. That abscess on her right arm - wowza!! It needs medical attention. How she survives on the streets is beyond me .... only for the grace of God. ❤🙏
I wonder what her real story is... 🤔
yeah usually traumatic memories are super repressed, i haven’t had that much trauma but i still can’t remember my elementary school years
It is frightening to me that we (society) allow people to live so poorly and for so long. She is not invisible. I cannot imagine how many horrible things happened to her before and after her move to the street. She is so vulnerable. Anyone watching this video knows she cannot/will not seek assistance. Unbelievably sad.
Yes!
Ruby is captivating. Just popped by to see if there is another follow up....sadly not.....but I'm sure I'm not the only one checking up on this soul. Thank you Mark for opening these doors for us.
Hi Mark! 😊 Thank you for this
new video with Ruby.
Oh my dear Ruby I wish you a long and healthy life.
Something about Ruby is so charming that it is difficult to care that she is making no sense.....after months of the plandemic ....I'm just enjoying the ride with her. Bless you lovely Ruby. You reminded joy is of our own making.
I'm right there with ya, this is the apocalypse, it's been a ride!
Such a sweet soul. I wish she'd get some sleep, a safe place to rest her head and find some comfort everywhere. She deserves so much more.
Her heart of gold really shines through! Bless her!
@C.LA.N Young yes, she is a beautiful person!
I think she is one of the most schizophrenic person that I've ever heard talk about the things they see I love her I can listen to her all day does that make me crazy she makes you stop and think thanks for sharing this Hope you're having a blessed day
I really wonder what goes through these peoples minds
Wonder no more, skid row is on google maps.
Thank you so much for posting these amazing people. I so admire you.
She is such a lost soul, I wonder why if having family they don't try to help her. The streets are no place for a woman like her. Even the strongest of people have a hard time surviving the streets. Its such a shame and I hope she has angles surrounding her.
She needs the abscess on her arm looked at asap, that doesn't look good.
Bless her soul.
Truly lost count of the times I've wept over Ruby and other souls documented here on Soft White Underbelly by Mark Laita. The homeless are personally touching my life lately too. I'm poor but housed and sober. How can I not be grateful every fucking day of my life.
I love you Ruby. God told me this as I watched you talk to us. He told me this about you and Mark : For of such is the kingdom of Heaven.
Demons may curse you but Angels will love you and keep you Ruby. I love you beautiful lady.
So many different thoughts moving quickly through her head and out of her mouth.
Too many rapid emotional changes in such a a short time.
With all this, I can still see she is a smart, loving, intelligent human. One who needs help. One who deserves help. I hope that she gets it.
My heart breaks for her, she's extremely aware of her life and situation. She even questions her sanity so you know she understands her life.
I find her eyes to be extremely kind and there is something very lovable about her! I wish so many people weren't pointing fingers at Mark to "bring her get her arm looked at" she's her own person and I'm sure if situation presented itself Mark would gladly bring her. :)
There would no way to get Ruby to sit in a car and go to see a doctor unless she was sedated.
@@SoftWhiteUnderbelly totally understandable :) she has nothing but love for you and I hope people can stay kind in the comments! Be well
