    I caught myself holding back tears when I first saw Virgie. She was so happy to see the preacher and others. Then I saw her grandson… he started talking and was so concerned about what was possibly said about him. He was volunteering so much unsolicited information and his explanations were endless. Virgie’s demeanor changed and she became silent. She looked scared. That broke my heart. Her grandson was locked up for beating her TWICE. He abused poor Virgie. An elderly lady. That’s right up there with pedophiles in my book. I am a survivor of multiple abuses and I can easily sense how horrible he was/is. Rest In Peace dear Virgie.

I didn't like the idea of her grandson living with her. He's a bad person. I think he was taking advantage of her. And he shouldn't have been allowed to. Considering where her new home came from.

    They turned a blind eye to what was right in front of them, she was happier and healthier alone in her falling down shack with no running water and a doorless outhouse than she is in this new place with all the amenities and a manipulative, exploitative, can't-stop-talking-about-himself, abusive grandson. She became quiet and uncomfortable when her grandson entered the room, and increasingly uncomfortable each time he pressed her to say it was just great that he was there. He (and his girlfriend) should NOT be there, and shame on her daughter (the grandson's mother) for aiding and abetting the situation.

When something was said about the cat, his response was being by yourself at 85 im sure the couple of cats and dogs bought her alot of comfort and give her someone to talk too !! 😇 Also a comment toward the end about the grandson! The pastors response was everybodys families have problems. I cant judge theres until i take care of my own! I love it! This is a true Christian! This pastor has a amazing heart! God bless him and keep him and continue to allow him to do such good work! Thank you sir! Im so glad the last of her days she was given a good warm,dry,clean place to lay her sweet head !

      I noticed that too Melanie, that was great. There were a couple more that he did too.... notice he never talked badly of her old house either. He just said said it was a pole barn construction, it wouldn't be fixable unfortunately because they didn't design it with studs. He was smart enough to know that even thought it was a hell hole it was her only possession in the world. There was an interesting part where after she talked about the coal and not calling the cops, he started to say "Well and when you're here by yourself i'd be afraid to let anybody know you were here" and the camera guy started a different conversation. When he saw the car parts all over the yard, instead of complaining he said "Here in Appalachia a used car is a good car if you can fix it". Just a great human being, very inspirational guy.

      Yeah, I'm pretty tired of people saying the poor shouldn't have pets (tho I abhor the term 'pet', my cats are my family...the only family I've got). In fact there should be social welfare programs to assist people who adopt rescue animals as ESAs / companions. It's often the only joy, affection & interaction a person has in life.
      And by poor, depressed, disabled and/or isolated people adopting pets, they are also helping to give that animal a home when it might otherwise be killed.

A lot of people especially the elderly don't or won't take advantage of what little is available to them because they were raised to be independent and to refuse charity. Also, the paperwork is so full of red tape that anyone especially the elderly find it difficult and beyond their ability to unravel gov't bureaucracy. What really should happen is that government agencies should hire people to actually go out and visit these folks and get them the resources they need. Policy wonks and politicians claim there is no money? Try scaling back the ridiculous pay and instead of the Washington and the local gov't elite having a damn party make them do they're job and hold them accountable.

      J.M. ZIMMERMAN I don't know if he really could say anything. The instances were in the past and as far as we could see he'd served time for it and hadn't seemed to have done it again. I worked with social services and there's a thin line with aggressive personalities like him. He was on the defensive when they visited and I have found that its sometimes best to not engage people like him in an argument. So far as everyone knew, he hadn't repeated the violence and if the pastor had waded in accusing him, he could have just waited until they left and then taken his anger out on his grandma. I think the pastor did exactly what he should have. ..let sleeping dogs lie...its very true in abuse cases. Of course if there had been any complaints or the lady was acting like she was under duress I am sure the pastor would have acted accordingly.

It would be nice to think someone who really needed it was given the same chance but I suppose the undeserving family will benefit from other people's generosity. Still she was shown some human and Christian kindness and love before she passed. Good work people. And to the pastor.

    I've read some of the comments here villifying the preacher because of this video.
    This is 2018, the age of social media. It's just my opinion, but this video wasn't made to say look at me, look
    at what I have done! It was made to say, please help me help her. I cannot do this by myself.
    As much as people talk the talk, not many walk the walk. He made a plea for help, and through the caring of others,
    got this lady a decent place to live. How many in this country are in the same situation?
    How many are homeless? As I said, this preacher couldn't do it all by himself, so he asked for help.
    He wasn't asking for a million dollar home to be built. We can truly end homelessness in this country if people
    stop chasing the dollar. Look at rents in Seattle etc. People can't afford to live where they work.

      The preacher means well, but this whole project was a wasted effort. She belonged in a nursing home where she could have been properly cared for and could have had companionship. Either that or some of the donated money should have been used to hire a woman to come in 2 hours a day to help her. It's foolish to make plans for a frail 85 year old woman to live alone when it's clear she can't take proper care of herself. She was clearly afraid of the grandson. Self-preservation would keep her from saying anything while they were visiting and filming her. What was going to happen after they left? No wonder this area has such a reputation.

I would say she needed someone to come regulaly, and someone to take that grandson out back and teach him something about bein a man.

They'd rather live in a run down place than put up with a house full of ppl fussing and no telling what else. And she probably don't want to know what they do in case the law ask. I'd say she wouldn't go stay there. Them old mtn ppl have alot of pride despite what others think. Land and a home is very important to them and lot of times it's sentimental to them.

      I know I heard my family in the hills of Virginia left the town because they married a Native American and kept to themselves.
      If I had the millions I would help so many.

He paid for all our sins giving His life in place of our sins. He paid our debt in full What greater love is there than this? . All that God asks of us is that we put our faith in Jesus and ask for forgiveness and repenting of our sins. The fruit of our salvation is exactly what you see here where a true Christian man, the pastor, did great things with total humility and kindness. He IS a true man of the Lord.

      When I see these videos I worry about the animals more than anything else. I’m wondering if they are being fed, have a warm place to sleep and are not being abused or if they’ve been fixed and not constantly getting pregnant. In the first part there are 2 dogs running around and then later on when they revisit you only see one.

    I loved what the Pastor said about not getting into her families business obviously he is a good person not only for helping her get a nice safe home but by respecting her privacy, God makes miracles happen everyday in other lives as well as others, slowing down and taking the time to notice this means everything to me,I'm so grateful to the Lord for bringing me to this channel twice by accident to see that I have so very much to be grateful for and that just waking up warm and in a clean safe home is a miracle that manifests itself everyday of my life, we can't take anything for granted in this unstable World, just being able to hear the birds chirping and a blue sky is a miracle,I don't know I've come to appreciate so many things I've seen so much, been threw so much but in my heart the one thing that never has failed me is the feeling that God truly loves me and has never and will never abandoned me, I love him so much. No matter how much I've cry he will comfort me, God brought that Pastor into Mama Truddies life, to give her a well deserved home for being humble and kind..love the way she said Yuollll come back now...oh so cute! And he will take that grandson and put him where he deserves to be if he even dares ever touch push or treats her badly ever again, I pray that ,In the name of Jesus, AMEN

    I grew up in a small southern town and even as late as the 60's and 70's you would run across a very old home that had dirt floors. I remember being shocked that people could live in a house with dirt floors. It's hard to believe that in many places we are only a couple of generations past abject poverty. When many marry now they expect to own a new house with all the amenities and luxuries that their parents may have worked decades for.

      everyone is a moocher. Families need each other. Every family is different and needs help in many different ways. What is strange to you is not so strange to another. When a family member needs something then there either is someone to help provide or they will have to get it themselves or do without.
