Searching The Streets Of Cornwall For 1 Homeless Man

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 พ.ย. 2024
- My previous video, where I chatted to Martin, gained quite a bit of interest. You can watch that video here • Homeless In Cornwall: ...
There were a mix of questions, criticisms and empathy in the comments section of that video. Martin had fell through a hole in society, from a well paid job as a plasterer paying £1000 per week, to the streets. Some of the questions that came in the comments of the initial video weren’t fully addressed in our first interview, so I went back to Truro to search for Martin. I also wanted to give him some of the ad revenue generated from the first video. I had no way of contact for Martin and my only option was to mingle into the homeless world of the city and investigate his whereabouts.
*Here is the link to my PayPal paypal.me/Wend...
*If you send me money on Paypal and write the comment “helpmartin” in the option, I will take the money in person to Martin. The deadline for donations is 31st March 2023, because shortly after then I won’t be able to take it to him in person. If I receive any donations after that date, I will donate them to St Petrocs charity.
*Here is the link to St Petrocs, who are a charity working to end homelessness in Cornwall. They believe every person has a right to a safe and secure home. Martin says they have been very helpful to him personally www.stpetrocs....

We are homeless, we make our own home, our home is an illusion, but it is also our own.
Left important msg below about ulcers wendall
I've been homeless myself a few times over my life and it's the worst thing that could happen to anyone, there isn't much help out there and people are so ignorant and cruel towards homeless people it's just not fair, there life is so hard without idiots attacking them when there trying to sleep or keep warm.
It's disgusting that the government are quick to help out people from other countries but are willing to leave our own people on the streets.
Nice one Wendell for helping Martin out and taking the time to video his horrible situation it's a shame there's not more people out there like you.
A big thank you for the update. I hope Martin and anyone in need gets help!
Good of you to follow that through.
My heart goes out to you and Martin.
Glad you're ok Martin, hope 🙏 things get better for you, x
Thank you Wendall for your concern and care. I have been in tears over these poor souls , some Mothers child, son or daughter , Father Brothet sister etc. I dont have the answers but at the very least to show dignity to them. That homeless girl was so very sweet . i hope and pray for help care and assistance fir them all.
I just stumbled on your channel today and think what you are doing is a breath of fresh air. I often think how would I fix the current issues of all the rundown towns. What I realised watching you is just how everything is linked and just by showing people the reality of the situation. The beating heart of the country is those markets those friendly welcoming people who at the end of the day like the vast majority are in the same boat. People need to stop sitting at home listening to all the division and fear mongering on the TV, instead like you we should all get back out there and rebuild our communities and uplift each other before it's too late. Keep up the great work 👏
Good video. Hopefully it will inspire more people to help and support the homeless.
yet AGAIN another brilliant video, your actually a top bloke Oli 🤜🤛
Still can't understand why these people are still on the streets, why can't the powers that be are so quick to house people from abroad when the need is so close to home ❤
Is it because the migrants have good prospects ?
Sometimes pal its a genuine choice to remain on the streets,,
We have trades people with skills from the uk, in the uk, on the streets because life threw them a nasty curve ball and the local authorities have the power the place them in a safe place of their choosing but the uk is being flooded with families displaced from abroad for numerous reasons, most recent being Ukrainian war, I still feel the local people shouldn’t be ignored as local authorities get handouts for housing not so locals first. It’s a horrible spiral, no home, unable to get jobs because no address, no money to pay rent, it goes round and round.
@@jamiesplinter8758 bingo I know most of em
some people just can not live in a house and rather be on the street . i.e the main man (Sticky ) R.I.P
HI Wendall I'm late coming to your video's & just seen this & subscribed too, just wanted to say it's lovely that you helped Martin this way he's right it can happen to anyone at any time, I was homeless for six months after fleeing domestic abuse ended up with my lawyer changing my name by emergency deed poll for my own protection & had to move into a different county so lost my home & job,
It's a hard life & frightening too so now because I know what it's like I regularly help the homeless in my area with food & clothes even bought tents & sleeping bags a few times, I don't have much but I try to give the help I never got as much as I can & just ordered a bulk lot of emergency blankets which I do every year when we get near winter months
Well done for highlighting this problem Oli. It's hard to separate the politics when it is actually political decisions that have put a lot of folk into this sort of position but we should all be prepared to help when we can. The least people can do is cut street folk some slack and not judge them or harass them, as I said in the other video "there but for the grace of god" etc. ✌
Well said Sid
Hi Martin glad to see people helping you buddy.😀 Stay safe and I hope the future gets better soon ❤,🙏💯
Heart breaking to see this. I left uk years ago as I saw this coming.
God help UK nationals.
Always think , there for the Grace of God go I !
goes to show that a lot of homeless people are kind souls and they need a help up from time to time..
Great Vid again Mate. That Charity Board with Hooks is a great idea. I will look into setting one up in Melbourne, Winter is coming, I gave a New Zealand Lovely vest My Wife brought back from NZ to a homeless Man I would give drinks to but more importantly talk with him. He had One Message for Mankind, Please learn to Love Yourself. Keep Up The Great Fight Wendall. Thanks.
Well put Trev. Look after the less fortunate of Melbourne in the best way you can 👍
Just found your channel Wendall! Amazing videos! I came from Canada to Cornwall for a vacation n i had an amazing time but its good to see the true streets of Cornwall. It saddens my heart to know the shape society is in these days. Canada is in horrible shape too from East to West.
I used to live in Vancouver 😉🇨🇦
Its like when i was a powder coater n i had a sore on my leg for example say 'well the powder would go through a pare or jeans and a pare of track suit pants wit bandages rapped around it n the powder would infect it over n over, i still have a hole in my leg as a scare from when it happened 27 years ago so it would be the same thing in a way wit his job plastering.
Martin and Maisy seem like really decent people
Hiya there mate. I have only just come across your videos, they are great. Very interesting and educational. I live in Manchester, and the situation is pretty much the same as the many problems you have seen. It's a crying shame, that some people end up living on the streets. It shouldn't be. Take care man. Watch your back.
Stumbled across your chanel and binged your videos! Great content mate new subscriber her 💪
A big thank you for finding Martin such a shame he on the streets with leg ulcers you can tell the difference between drug uses and achololics I feel so sorry for him
Nice to see people helping where they can... well done wendell...
Great work mate , keep up the work
I haven’t seen previous video of Marin but well done to give some money to him and I hope he got health better and make that money he said he can make a day
Suicidal Sunday , I remember that one when I was on heroin about 20 years ago, Sunday was bad we used to say we we going go carting so our parents would give use money so we could have a toot , bad choices, took me over 5 years to quit with out relapsing
Very good! I from Brazil following your videos.
i loved the wall of kindness, what a great idea.
A man who time spent as a plasterer surely someone could get him to manage groups of plasterers. Maybe in time run a plastering business but not actually do the physical work. Goodluck to him 🙏
People with issues like homelessness don't want pity. They want people to be mindful and treated like humans. Great job Oli sharing awareness. You can have all and lose it next... be humble ❤
Good job, Oli! I have donated a few pounds now 😊
Thank you Torunn I will be pass this on at the start of April
@@WendallExplores great! Thank you 👍🏻😊
Oli, you’re an angel for these folks, god bless you bud, you should be nominated for being knighted instead of well known personalities Well done you and keep up the good work. ❤
Thank you for follow-up i hope someone helps him 😢😢😢😢
What lovely people. Folk should never judge homeless people. Most I have met have always been polite and friendly, even had a few tinnies while on Holiday in Hastings with a guy called Adrian. Was a great bloke with his Dog and I had mine and we sat in the doorway of the shop having a few tinnies and a good old chat. Will never forget that I do wonder if he is still around and still on this Earth. I hope so.
Worked in Truro over forty years ago when The Pen and Wig pub was first opened , back then there were no homeless on the streets ,it's shocking how this country as a whole has deteriorated.
Love your content thank you
maisie what a sweet young lady bless her.
Some of the kindest most pleasant people that I have spoken to are living on the street. I would rather speak to them than an out of touch multimillionaire. These people always deserve another chance, no matter what their history. Imagine how you would feel or act in their situation.... its tough!
some people just can not live in a house and rather be on the street . i.e the main man (Sticky ) R.I.P
We need more political parties because the ones that have lined their pockets and driven the country onto the rocks need to go Ulez and clean air change nothing but take enormous amounts of cash and deter people who would buy and keep market and high street foot traffic parking charges tax on tax no industry to speak of I’m 55 and have witnessed the demise of this once proud Christian nation in just my life span I can’t be alone with this. Thanks for your enlightened video 👍🇬🇧
Thing is a lot of colleges are looking for people to teach this stuff with apprentices. So Martin could be helped that way you know?
The first guy you spoke to I lived with in homeless at Chiwinder we all know each other in homeless community and Maisie is a really nice girl
She was very pleasant and helpful
@@WendallExplores I think shes only 19 she's young anyway
You mean you guys work in gangs pretending to be homeless and vulnerable, I’m no stranger to this game. Earning in excess of £200 day sometimes to feed your dirty habits
It's really quite heartbreaking seeing just how lovely these people living on the streets actually are, then doing a quick mental coparison to Michelle Mone. I'm not sure it's possible to fully recover from that.
god bless brother.......
Great channel.
Good to see good x thankyoue xxx
Your one hell of a nice fella fair play to u them poor people on the streets it so wrong the world should be ashamed with all the wealth and leaving people like this
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻well done lad 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great video, little touch for Martin in your PayPal
Thanks mate
Before you abuse criticise and accuse walk a mile in my shoes. Elvis song 70s ❤❤
You should go to the community kitchen in Penzance
I guess everywhere has it's pros and cons. Its very cheap to live up north and down south, Cornwall in particular, is expensive. It's very cold up north and very mild in Cornwall if you are living on the streets. I would say it's friendlier up north, but there is more crime.
The hotel you went into to explore in Newquay is being demolished now, not a minute too late.
😮💨
What makes me angry? is the foreigners. all got places and Martin is walking the streets Charity begins at home. We should Help our own people. Before we Help Anyone else . And by the way, my friend, I like your interview. , You got goodness in your heart You doing a good job.Keep it up. Keep doing what you're doing all the best old My friender
I worked for royal bank of Scotland brother. Had everything got nothing now.
Awesome 👍
Fair play my man
He gives the impression he’s resigned to the fact he’s homeless and really at peace with the situation.
GO BACK AND SPEAK WITH MAISE (the girl who gave you Martin number) !
Another dingy load just moved into a 5 star hotel whilst your stuck in a shop doorway etc
A lot of these people make stupid decisions. Dispatch 0 that guy that you're looking for he was successful in another place and came to another place again and became homeless. That don't make sense. He made a lot of bad decisions. That's why people are negative. It's not a good day against him. You gotta be responsible and be held accountable for your actions. You gotta makes small decisions to avoid being homeless. Cause it can't be done.
I’m not getting it Wendall you usually present a well educated balanced argument and I always admire and respect your presenting skills - however on this matter as much I support homeless and charities - I fear you’ve kinda lost direction on this - in my opinion giving the guy money is not going to help him (there are always two sides to a story). He ran away from his life, responsibilities, wife, family and friends - I think you could’ve asked more delving questions. Telling him I’m going to give you money anyone will say yes. I would far rather you gave money to the appropriate homeless charities local to the area where it could provide more direct help and support to those genuinely homeless. 🤷♀️
Old Wendall losing the plot helping people. I never thought going out and helping a homeless dude could be so dividing. Anyone would forgive me for just knocking it on the head, stay at home and draw the curtains. I give in. These videos are made at my own cost for the free entertainment of those who choose to watch them. I’m not the BBC. There is no watchdog.
@@WendallExplores … I just don’t think giving him money direct will help his situation - I fear it will just fuel any habits etc - I agree with you donating to a charity is much more credible… that’s my point.
@@10Hussy you don’t even know how much money I have given him, or not, it was never on film. And what I do to help with the donations, you don’t know that either. If you watch my videos a lot, which I’m aware you seem to, you’ll probably understand that I’m not a fool. I understand very fully that giving a homeless addict a bundle of money will probably be a recipe for disaster. Let me ask you this Adele.. If we can’t forgive others, how will we ever forgive ourselves?
It's always a concern the money will go on drugs but some people are genuinely are on hard times and may not want to share why with the whole world, we just have to do our bit to help and support and hope they choose to do right with the help/Money but I get what your saying. Same reason why a lot of people buy a coffee and a pastie rather than a couple of quid in the pot. You don't know what happened with his family and not our place to point the finger
@Adele Husband fuel any habits? Your presuming just because he is homeless he has bad habits. Should I presume just from your comment your a horrible heartless human being?? No because I don't know you
Martin looks like he’s doing ok, his clothes look pretty decent
If he has ulcers, he nedds to get a test for diabetes and anemia, certain causes of anemia can cause ulcers like B12 deficiency. If he had iron, B vitamins and ate low sugar, carb but added vitamin c and healthy fruit and veges etc , he may be able to prevent ulcers , please tell him wendall
There but for the grace of god.🌻🇦🇺good channel good person👍
I’ve been to Truro,its a nice town…..
I avoid Truro, near impossible to park and it has got too gentrified.
@@TheBuckspygmy thats burst my bubble..but it has a good bike shop, good coffee shops, a multi storey parking facility,a Waitrose,
Great book shops,a market and very pretty buildings..
@@griswald7156 Frankly Truro is a nightmare. I avoid it.
Fred is a professional bubble burster, but I like him hanging around. His cynicism keeps me grounded.
@@WendallExplores he’s forever bursting bubbles,pretty bubbles in the air….where’s Sam! Where’s Sam!
Plaster doesn't cause ulcers. He could have gone to a doctor to find out whats happening and prevent it. There's often an excuse covering for something else. There are ways society could help though
Does anyone know how he got the ulcers...it wasnt through work,he said the plaster exacerbates them,is it from injecting,as thats usually how one gets them...i am in no way judging ...and as i stated before please think twice before telling others that you are giving him money ...there are some very unpleasant traits in some people and i would never want to see him taken advantage of
Not a thing. I went to Dudley College and done plastering. A few yrs latter i qualified as menatal health nurse. This is news to me!
Maybe don’t tell the other homeless you have money for someone else I mean they maybe try get money from him
Mr Wendell
Shame Martin cant run a plastering business where he is supervising younger people & handing on his skills. Not actually plastering himself. He could get a crew together and turn up to check its done right. Good luck Martin.
thats my mate rudy
from falmouth
Nice guy
Hello Stanley I'm glad you are okay xx are you still there in pods how is Sarah and Ian ?
I would like to hear maisie's story, she seams nice
Any updates on him 8mths on
Charity should begin at home ! No Britsh citizen should be on the streets ! 2024 and we still have homelessness . Lets give a round of applause to all previous government's since Churchill who got us to this point !
Try and find a good Doctors and try Manuka honey on his legs.
We have amazing doctors for homeless in Cornwall called health for homeless
Young adults, he said it himself ‘ nothing is impossible’ so why beg. These are not homeless beggars . These are modern day conmen conning the vulnerable.I’ve never known a homeless person to own a mobile phone.Don’t send any money , he will only buy drugs with it .
@@gingerali you are talking shite up to 9:days ago I was homeless i lived on streets in Cornwall 7 months homeless charity bought me my mobile and a fire tablet they are homeless I know them all and I don't take drugs or drink I have a terminal tumor took a stroke have heart failure couldn't afford ridiculous rents there where I grew up council wouldn't house my dog so I stayed homeless now im in scotland with a flat my dog a kitten and waiting surgery to save my life you have a very bad view of peole
Maisie 😢
Pissing on homeless people wtf that’s beyond what humanity has fallen no way to say it unreal cheers from Canada 🇨🇦 this world has fallen big time
What's Maisy's story ? Wish you'd asked her..
what about that poor girl Massie
Mr MC Offensive himself aka nik 🤟
on this one dip in to your pocket simple
As soon as he asked him if he could work excuses about plaster !! Homeless get universal credit so what's all this about??
Wonderful video but please dont tell others that you intend to give him money ....it wont end well
The only question answered is the chap can’t work because of a health condition, not Covid? So surely he should have been eligible for some government support once substantiated?
There is good money in begging .As hard up as i have been in the past i never resorted to begging on the street like him .
🫡👍❤❤
Unfortunately the fakers ruin it for the genuine homeless. Its sad.
Love what you’re doing but you must stop telling people you will help people financially in front of certain people because they will potentially rob him. Wendall I’m a big fan but please be a bit more savvy you just can’t trust people anymore- they even said “why have you got money for him”
This was filmed a year ago, yes I have become a lot more savvy since then
No worries bud this just came up as a suggestion and we see the date at the end! Glad you know your stuff and knowledge comes with experience. fYI you need to come to Melton Mowbray, beautiful place but small and being overrun with drug addicts at the moment and only getting worse, shops closing, gone from a retirement run town to a county lines run town. I won’t even walk at night on my own
mabye you should give all your you tube earnings to the homeles and show that your genuine and not just out for a another 60k view video desperate people out there ,some of them are you tubers
Martin looks more than capable to work. He could easily do an office job
my guess is your next video will be about the homeless .donate your earnings if you really care and not just out for the views.dont exploit the vunerable so you can up your views and you tube revenue donate it all all of it or i will call you out
These lot are all in cahoots working as a team earning in excess of £200 a day ( sometimes) they aren’t homeless with mobile phones and credit in pocket.
This channel ain't a charity, who do you think pays for the camera, laptop and Internet for editing lol
what's stopping you from following your own advice Eddie
hit the thumbs up if you think wendall should give all his you tube earnings to the homeless to prove he is genuine
Hi Eddie
I can see you are trolling to get a rise out of me, so here’s your little thrill. I don’t feel the need to ‘prove I’m genuine’, especially not to you. There are people here calling Martin a fraud, you calling me a fraud, people sending Martin money, people blaming immigrants, the government. It just shows how divided society has become. My TH-cam revenue my friend is minimal, I only have 7k subs and most videos rarely top 5k views. I’ve never done anything more than cover the petrol I spend on this channel, let alone the thousands of pounds of equipment costs and flights. Believe me I’m at a substantial loss for this hobby. I hope you can project your disdain for me towards something more positive, for your own self benefit. You may be angry Eddie, but I’m in a process of trying to no longer judge in life and I don’t think bad of you. I’m just glad you are projecting vitriol towards me and not someone weaker. Take care of yourself and the people around you 🙏
Love getting blocked on replys shows there's little truth in what your saying
I haven’t blocked you in any way, if your replies aren’t showing it may be because they are against TH-cam community guidelines, which I have no control over
😂
@@WendallExplores you been giving a golden opportunity up country take Martin with you give him a job and a roof over his head if you care more for him than the views you've hit then il respect you
God bless you Sir. I pray to God med beds are real, and this type of person can get on one asap.
