I love that they kept Steve Hartman to keep doing stories like this.
"You cannot choose your family but you can choose your friends."
Steve gives me Mr. Rogers vibes. They both are kind and make me happy. Steve is more interested in listening to people than telling them something.
Judgement free zone. Thank you. This helps us know people still have hearts.
All done allowing this gentleman's dignity to remain in place.
This is true friendship that never dies out. The way they bonded together to help him is truly inspiring and restores my faith in humanity. The way they each are playing a part in helping their old friend is so special. Not only is he off the street he now has a phone and they also helped him with needed dental work and this is just the beginning. This is a really special group of people I wish I was their friend.
I was surprised and then made so happy by the tiny blip in Texas Monthly! Fred and I knew Coy back in the late 70s. Coy was the inspiration for my first ever home project. He never grumbled just smiled and helped me with it. His art was quirky and delightful, I still have three cards. He was then and is still now a unique and spirited man, his cup of kindness is full. Peace be.
Are you the Lee who found him?
@@sunshine3914 Little miss, no an old friend living on the coast. Fred was my sig o at the time, knew Coy's brother Ken.
I’m a native Austinite. Y’all make me so proud and happy! Best of everything for Coy, and his angel 😇 friends💞💞💞
Respect this is why i keep my circle small & only keep the one's i trust close by.
These videos make me cry and smile, and of course they make me happy too.
This is a huge reminder to cherish having great friends. ❤
I don’t know how you go about finding these stories but you do a great job of it!
Thank You Steve!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Steve, for enriching my life.
Good to have true friends, not everyone is your friend. God bless him and all who helped him.
1 Thessalonians 4:12
That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
God sure has way more plans for your life sir!! Awesome friends.
DAMN GOOD FRIENDS! GOD BLESS 🙏
His group of friends were VERY determined, they were there for him and no one better get in their way!! Love this
"The quality of mercy is not strained, it droppeth like the gentle rain from heaven" Shakespeare and Steve Hartman
All you need is a few good friends
This is beautiful
sometimes life feels like you fell out of a plane with no parachute and then you figure out your friends are the parachute.
Beautiful!!
Beautiful!
Now those are true friends what a blessing 3:06
Excellent!! Just watched your best of 2019! Love it...love you Steve!
WOW what a great story about the power of friendships.
Steve Hartman should be the next Pope!
He's not catholic lmao
@@TylerJohnson-jp2sh yes ,he is . Watch the video in which he remembers his father
This is who we are.....
The integrity of America will prevail !!!
Beautiful
Even if you don’t mean to, I think your shed a few tears. It goes heart to heart and human to human. But it took like six guys to help him but understandable that most people don’t have that
If you have that Heart, make sure you keep it, because it's worth More than Anything else you can have in Life.
Sometimes I get extremely depressed at the fact that I only have like 10 friends that I regularly talk to, and even fewer that I interact with more than a handful of times a year, but then I remember that of those few friends, two I've know since kindergarten and two I've known since fifth grade, and I'd readily take a bullet for them any day of the week. It's all about quality, not quantity.
❤❤❤
❤️
i thought i had friends. but instead of helping with my mental illness they laughed about it im 23 and in my last days this world is horrible and i feel bad leaving my spawn i just hope they have a better run at life.
Are you ok? I don’t know you just hoping you’re ok
do you know how the movie " Tag" is inspired by a true story of friends sticking together after many years by the game of tag,
well i also think a movie could be made out of this a really really feel good movie,
Maybe flashbacks of the " homeless guy" and his highschool days, being that awesome guy to stand up for people, making friends with everyone, maybe he saved a one of his peers life back in the day, and then some other sideline stories of him and maybe his home life was not good at all but he still had his great attitude, the one of those screens pop up like " 30 years later"
and it Highlights the teens back in the day who were more so of a focul point in the flashback and shows how they are living, maybe a small group of friends all over the spectrum, couple rich guys and a few guys doing a trade, one being like a small time salesman like a Realtor or car salesmen or furniture salesman, or Tractor supple salesman or something,
you see one of the rich guys having like a HORRIBLE DAY, then on his way home his car breaks down and for some reason he ends up having to walk the rest of the way home ( maybe he wasnt that far)
maybe as he is walking down the street he just so happens to see a group of police officer interacting with the homeless man ( rich guys past highschool buddy who saved his life) telling him he cant sleep there and needs to move, they ask him for his name and the homeless guy tell them his name, and the rich guy walking overhears this name and stops in his tracks with a flashback of the homless guy in his teens years saving his life, without thinking he goes up to the cops and with his " influential stature and demeanor and clothing attire" was able to tell the cops he will handle it and they can leave,
Maybe the helps his old friend by finding a better spot to sleep, and the homeless man filled with some embaressment and pride refuses any further help other than helping him to carry a few things to a new spot, it ends there and the rich guy continues his walk home, makes it back home and he realized he was suddenly not in a bad mood anymore, couple weeks go by and he cant get this guy off his mind, yet there is a highschool reuniion coming up.
he gets together with the guys, and then you know the whole story can begin of them collaberating together, trying to find this guy and changing his life, and maybe the homeless guy ends up gaining a sucessfull career by the end of the movie.
im no screen wrriter but you know........... i think there could be something there lol
Ron Howard to direct , written by JJ Abrams, maybe...I would like very much to see that movie
It's sad though that if you have depression, autism, are shy or a bit introvert and don't have any friends then you don't have a security net either. That's why you pay taxes so that no one is left behind.
TOP FRIENDS...I wished you were mine too!
Problem is all humans are so judgemental they won't give u a chance to be there friend.
The reason I have no friends is cause everyone looks at me an thinks I'm a homeless man, drug addict (even tho I only smoke weed)
Just sucks to always be alone.
My hope for humanity is kindness and friendship.
Trust me that's what this world needs.
Steve Hartman is the only reason I like CBS.:) I'm not joking I'm very serious about that
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Clearly, people are raised right in Austin Texas.
Those are friends. Not acquaintances you message or like on Facebook or social media. Actual friends.
“With a little help from my friends”
Coy was a hunk ngl😯
Texas is the best state in the union. I don’t live there, it just is
I am 66, on the streets, do not drink or drug, and rarely smoke. I am on SSDI but in spite of seeking help, filling out ECHO three times, and much more, somehow the powers that be never do anything of any real value to get me off the streets. I am a former Electronics Engineer. Invited to join the National Engineering Honor Society. My career has been shot to pieces by management incompetence, and outright fraud, then severe health issues. Where is the real help when one needs it?
There is help. And that help comes in the form of God, who is our Provisioner. He works through people, and circumstances. I have been through circumstances where people made evil choices that severely affected myself. I continued to ask for help and prayed. It took time, but the Turnaround occurred, slowly. Do not be afraid to ask. We must remain Humble. May God change your heart, turn you to His Son, Lord Jesus Christ, for Salvation, a changed heart, then a changed life. Supplying all of your needs. Sending those who can help. To His Glory. in Lord Jesus Christ, amen.
Have you spoken to Housing Authority? You have to be persistent.
Dear sir, I believe are you living in a democratic state?
I grew up in a democratic State and it was a nightmare although there might be resources available.
My suggestion would be walk into any local church ask them to connect you with resources.
Dave Ponder, I'm right with you. I supported my ex husband through pre med, medical school, residency..., I taught "special education " for decades and at age 70 find myself with nothing. It is heartbreaking. My very best wishes to you.
Hello amigos, I'm studying English as a second lenguage . Can anybody tell me the sentence at 0:30-31 seconds.? Please 🙏🙏
But, rarely do you see a swing as dramatic as what 66 yr. old.......
@@shygirlnow2011 good of you to reply to the question.
@@shygirlnow2011 thank you so much. You're so kind.
@@jamesjimmy1953 thank you James.🤗
@@shygirlnow2011 Does this mean " to change quickly to the opposite of what it was" is there any synonyms?
Life is like a journey. Who knows when it ends? Yes, and if you need to know the measure of a man
You simply count his friends

Not always
A bit too much make up Steve!
