    I live here and I’m 16 now. I remember seeing him at the same intersection since I was about 12. I don’t know if my memory is exactly correct but I remember seeing this guy with my dad and he was sitting there and my dad mentioned to me that he’s there every single day. You can see where he had his own little indent in the grass from sitting there and all his things spread around him. Really cool seeing this now and where he’s is at

    I always blows my mind how people can dislike this... that there are legit people who are either trolls, or genuinely don't like it. Helping humanity? Nah, thumbs down. Say what?

      People who are offended about other videos, dislike bots, racists. They usually don't watch these for the story.

      Maybe people just didn't find it interesting. That's a reason to dislike it. It doesn't mean they don't care or are trolls. That's why I disliked it. Not my cup of tea, doesn't make me a bad person.

      If it's simply "not in your interest", why partake in the act created to demean ACTUALLY unjust content? You disliking hurts the content creators that bother to put out quality content, and the fact people baselessly hit that dislike just because it's something of no significance to them... ugh, I feel peeved.

    • @penepatitenor
      @penepatitenor 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dandy Cadaver exactly!! If it's not interesting... move along. Instead of pressing an 'Unlike' button. Because he didn't not like it, he just didn't find it interesting.

      I agree. So tragic for so many who have a myriad of disabilities encumbering them. I hope this type of compassion catches on.

  • @fjaajf
    @fjaajf 7 ปีที่แล้ว +78

    For some who don't understand:
    His mom abandoned him in a street.
    He has mental issues and that might be the cause of it. Now the community cares for him.

    This is very inspiring. Presently I'm contemplating returning to the States, after living overseas for many years. I want to be involved somehow and make a difference when I return, and this gives us one example to emulate. The rest is up to our imagination, and our heart.

    I just wanna say, I’m really liking what these recent videos have been. In a world full of politics, macrocosmic events with many dark alleys and corners where big cooperations like CNN or BBC exploit; manipulating each story to fit their own political agenda, these stories. No matter how small. How insignificant it may seem. It is what we as humanity should be about. Back to basics really. It’s really good to see these little tibits of news, with smiles and a sense of community, not this dog-eat-dog world that we’ve fooled ourselves into thinking the reality of the world is.
    It’s great.
    Without reserve, I’d like to say thank you for these significant insignificant-s.

  • @littleblueclovers
    @littleblueclovers 7 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    Wait I have so many questions.
    Why was he homeless? Why did he not live with his parents? Why did he stand there so his mom could check up on him? Why did he not initially accept money? Couldn't he use that to afford a cheap place to stay, or get food, or freshen up to try and get a job? Why was he the only homeless man the firefighters seemed to hang out with? What is he doing now, now that he's been adopted into a household? Is his plan to be financially independent?

    I wish this gave more information on him but looking through the comments, looks like his mother abandoned him because of his mental illness which is really sad. I know it can be hard to cope with caring for someone with mental illness, but you don't just abandon them on the side of the road like they're trash...

    The woman cheated on a loving husband, left her little kids for another man, destroyed their lives and their heart and now wants to atone to the consequences of her act by helping this homeless man. I have all the respect in the world for the homeless man for turning his life around with the given opprtunity. But for Mrs. Sprouse, I have zero respect. She was selfish earlier when she destroyed her family and she is selfish now as well. She is doing this deed and using God's name to rid herself of the guilt of her past actions.
