My Grandmother allways use to Say ,that “ Being Poor Has Nothing to do with being clean “ jus because your poor Dosent mean you can’t be clean .. God bless you brother ..
Yep my dad said the same thing he grew up poor in the depression with 19 brothers slept 4 in a bed but they worked hard and became successful thats what's wrong with kids today they take everything for granted I wish they had to go through what my dad did everything to them is give me give me give me don't won't to work for shit thats why we are in the predicament we are now
I hope someone can give this guy a job, he seems like he deserves a chance and genuinely wants to work. I spent a year homeless and on my own, many years back, it sucks. A lot of people lose their humanity while trying to survive and it's disturbing to see, but this guy has hope and really deserves the chance to make his life better.
Exactly. Not that I want to judge but he does come across as a thoroughly decent chap that would put in a good day's work in the right workplace. I sincerely doubt the Democrats will do much to help as they only talk a good game.
His creativity is outstanding considering the environment he lives in. Too bad it's not somewhere else, he has somewhat of a real home. He is determined to survive regardless of his present situation.
Even after 3 years he's still holding on. Thing is, going from homelessness to stable housing doesn't happen overnight. It take time to save for moving costs, and hopefully a rainy day should something happen right after you move in. The system doesn't usually give you that chance to catch your breath before they begin to suck you dry.
They should all be removed from the streets.. Along with the mayor, governor and their entire administration. A once beautiful city and state.. turned into a shithole due to shit policies. Liberals are a disease in society.
May god bless him.. I was once homeless and worked hard to get back on my feet.. Multiple nights shedding tears and praying to god.. Im so humble and appreciative for what god has done for me..
Believe what you want to believe, but it’s sad that you’re that deep into your faith, you can’t recognise when you should thank yourself for your completed goals, not your god.
@@michellebland5504 Its not just states, its the entire country. Minimum wage workers cannot afford rent anywhere. Capitalism is slowly rotting this country, and we’ll most likely be affected unless you’re rich.
If you’ve ever seen in cartoons when the bus is passing thru the wrong side of town at night with the hobos over the trash can fires and shopping carts, animals and tents everywhere that’s what’s it like.
This man looks like all he needs is a chance. Nice man, looks drug-free and is proof that you dont necessarily need to be a product of your environment. God Bless him.
He can. He can find an assisted living facility to stay in if he want the help. I work in one and a lot of residents were homeless before id say 30 or so. But a lot refuse to give up drugs and their livelihood. Its the sad truth.
You can tell this guy is SOLID he has his stuff together, not into drugs, mentally fit and has a WAYYYY more organized tent then I do house lol !!! He needs a job and to get out of there !!!
Good for you Charlie, feeding this guy. I appreciate his honesty and openness and how clean he keeps the place. I wonder where he and the others get their building materials. Some of them look like they are designed to hold up a tent.
It’s comes to show not all homeless people deal with Mental issues or substance-abuse. They just find themselves in Financial situation but this man has his stuff together better than everybody in Skidrow he deserves so muchmuch better an opportunity . This man is not full of excuses.
Y’all are crazy. This dude lived in that space for 3 years with no drug or alcohol condition?? Yoooo if he can manage to have his living area look like that. He can manage to be somewhere more “involved” in society, if that would be something he WANTED to do… but he doesn’t… but why? Why won’t he say where he’s from bro. Fella gets nervous every time dude wants to ask anything that happened before their interaction. Dude could be a serial rapist on the streets of skid row targeting people who are half dead and shit 😒 …. Sketchy character bro 🤷🏻♂️
That was touching. He seems so peaceful and down to earth. It’s rare to see someone interviewed from skid row that’s not on drugs or alcohol. I pray this man gets back on his feet soon 🙏🏽💕
There's an almost military neatness to the way he keeps his tent. I hope that someone sees this video and can offer this man some sort of work. They'll probably get a fine employee if they do.
@Jesse Graves People who have OCDl are fighting to stay ahead of crippling anxieties. In this case, I'd say that he's fighting to keep his sanity in the presence of chaos.
@Jesse Graves So is high-functioning autism, which I have. I'm a complete control freak and it's a good thing I live alone. You want to see clean and orderly...
That’s not the governments job. Things would be better if we stayed out of countries and focused on fiscal austerity. The rest would take care if itself. Charities would have much more money and would do a better job than any government agency by far

Charlie this is the best interview you have done on your account. Please do more of these "homeless interviews" in other cities. Its important for all to see the dire straights these people face daily. Maybe, something REALLY constructive can get these people off the streets.
i got a lot of respect for this man right here! he's making the most of his situation and not letting it get him down, it's like people say "YOU make your situation, don't let your situation make you" god bless him :)
what a role model. maybe not financially but he has remained absolutely true to himself and his values and seems to be a great person stuck in a misfortunate place. i wish the absolutely best for him
They typically make friends with like minded ppl or person and put a couple tents next to eachother so someone is normally there. You do get robbed a lot. Now this guy is off by himself
It's next to impossible to carry a pistol in Los Angeles. The cops sweep homeless neighborhoods and if they see him packing he can either get himself shot or arrested. He probably has a few friends that watch each other's back. He seems like a reliable man.
I really appreciate what you do brother! Blessed be to you and yours. I've spent time w the less unfortunate. And help when I can. I appreciate the love and light your spreading. Let's the world know reality
It’s a community man. It’s just like living in a neighborhood. You take a chance of your door getting kicked everytime you leave but I’m sure he’s cool with the people around him and they all look out for eachother
Why only give him food for 1 day when you are asking for support for your channel on a regular. At least feed him for a week. If only for the cleanliness alone.
@Soldagg He did state that he has held odd jobs here and there and given the area it's probably hard for businesses to justify staying around the area. As for using drugs, his tent is far too well maintained for that to be the case, most drug addicts would not care about the condition of where they live since the drug becomes the most important part of their life. Sure, maybe he has committed crimes and maybe that's why he moved from Arizona (I think he said?) to where he is now in hopes that he'll have more luck with getting a job in the new location. I have no reason, based on this video and the condition of his tent to doubt his story.
@Soldagg That may be so but he was willing to move states to me shows he wants to try and leave whatever may have happned in the previous state in the past. I've been down that road before and moved states to get away from people that were a bad influence on me and i was lucky i got out before i got a conviction recorded against me which honestly, was very close given i was already granted a two week good behavior for crimes.
Most people are one decision or an unfortunate circumstance away from being homeless. God bless and keep them. Sometimes you have no control of the hand life deals you. Everyone has a story 🙏🏽
nah getting homeless would take me way more stupid decisions than just one... and i can do enough to make sure even the most unlucky circumstances wont make me homeless. you say it too easy.
Bijlowdinho 187 that maybe true for you, but she said “most” people. Most people work average jobs and live paycheck to paycheck. Many people are 1 check away from being homeless.
@@lovingme1st973 then you'll be glad to know i never will because i know how to become more wealthy and i wasnt raised to stay poor. its a mentality. im paying off my mortgage this year and im in my twenties. and since we dont have natural disasters in the Netherlands that destroy homes.... 😚
Wow I’m super impressed by him he’s down and out and still looking on the bright side if someone can make him a go fund me I would definitively donate! I know how it is to struggle you have to have a strong mind to make it through he will be blessed very soon great one Charlie 😊🙌🏼
That’s nice of you. But what he needs is job and opportunities so he can feel accomplished and build his life with his own strength and will . GoFund is a neat idea but it’s better to earn your own money
God bless this man. He's done his best to make himself as close to a real home as he can in a bad situation. He seems like a good man in a rotten situation through no fault of his own.
I gotta say Charlie you are like the birdman you fly in any weather you dnt care if it's 25 degrees and snowing 60 degrees and raining or 85 degrees hot and sunny you heading to you're destinations 🚗..........mile by mile you are the man 👊🏿💪🏿
@Don Dickles dude CLEARLY isn't high and repeatedly stated he doesn't mess with drugs and alcohol, homelessness can literally happen to anyone. Hope you still have money in a year.
dont get it twisted homeless people very often have only themselves to blame... but maybe thats more the case in my country the Netherlands than america.
@@milklordnomadic meh, partly agree partly dont.. homelessness cant happen to some people because they would no way in hell LET it happen. the difference is that they have a basis to start with
@Don Dickles i mean because in my country the Netherlands you have a lot of chances to make something of your life, maybe more than america i have never been there, but yes youre completely right thats my point indeed as well
this fine Man needs to come to the Detroit area. There is no workforce here, everyone on welfare. even a job at Target or Wallmart pays 16-18 an hour and nobody will even apply. This Man will be successful here as he climbs the latter, manager, owner, whatever he wants he can achieve. Thank you for posting this. very seldom do i see anything so positive. My heart goes out to this fellow
This brother is mentally sound and has a good heart . His spirit is strong God bless you and those willing to help you out to Give you a second chance and a head start 🌻 God bless you all and those who are doing their best to help 🌻 Amen
Idunno this video hits pretty hard! I hope the best for this guy. Keep doing videos like this, you could make a bigger impact on the less fortunate. Thanks!
Went to LA last week & saw this with my own eyes. Self consciously u think DAM THIS CANT BE TRUE but in reality it’s real. Never saw that many homeless people in my life. It’s so much mental illness going on out there. My heart goes out to all of em. May GOD bless & keep them🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Can you try to get an update on this man? I sure hope he’s been able to find a job recently. God bless him and you for the work you’re doing. Stay safe!
Could, go to the bank. Save it, as long as possible with 0 overhead cost. Maybe get a camper, etc. Go to an area with lower cost of living, and buy a house or pay enough down so that the mortgage is cheaper than renting. Better than nothing, and might be able to do it in 5 years or less.
This man should be the spokesperson for getting people out of there and working. He seems nice and cordial. I wouldn't even think he lived here had i just seen him on the streets.
I recently saw on German in Venice that LA has until October to find actual housing for people on skid row.. I sincerely hope it’s true, that will give this guy a real chance to start his life again... blessings to him💜💜💜💜
This if to let everyone know, that we are all 1 mistake away from being in this mans shoes & don't ever forget that! I'm praying for you man. 🙏🏾👼🏾Somebody give this man a chance. 💯
No American should have to live in places like Skid Row. And as a fellow Arizonian I feel especially sad to see this kind gentleman going through tough times. I wonder how much of that military budget could be spent on improving the lives of everyday Americans...
I am a big fan of yours. I love your videos. This one though, I’ve watched many times. It hits home to me. I hope this gent is doing alright. Thanks for the experience
oh nice try bringing us into it. the us gives much more to egypt and ukraine individually, and israel has to spend it on us stuff. nice try with the antisemitism tho, as long as it isnt to israel no ones talks about it
@@NickThePilotUSA Rushes off with the label whenever in question or criticism, don't ya get tired of hiding behind it? Israeli legislation in America costs billions too, on top of allegiant initiaves for congress. I'll stop there, war money in the ME is incalcuable.
You can tell he has pride in his area and tries to be as clean and neat as possible. he seems like a good dude who fell on some hard times. Hoping he finds his way outta there fast! 🤞
I honestly can say I lived on skid row n as a single female it isn't safe but u do wth u gotta do to stay safe at night...Thank God for the women center down there in the day time
Bro I watched this video when it dropped and didn't realize it was you. I'll never forget this video for the rest of my life. Appreciate the sneak peak.
Damn sad to see stuff this,prayers to him he seems like a good guy.I pray he gets the opportunity he deserves to change his life around.and hopefully he can reunite with his children and these days can be left behind him.🙏🏾
God bless him. I hope he can get some good money paying job and some good support services. I am in tears. He states he doesn't do drugs or alcohol. which is good, but even if he did. He still deserves the best support and services possible. No matter the colour of our skin, we all deserve the best outcomes!

It’s a community man. It’s just like living in a neighborhood. You take a chance of your door getting kicked everytime you leave but I’m sure he’s cool with the people around him and they all look out for eachother
I hope that someone hires him. I love the fact that he didn't blame anyone one for his situation.
Is there an update on this guy? He’s not like the others and deserves a chance. That is one clean ass tent wow
God bless Abraham im in tears people need a chance not rejection he has a GOD will spirit to continue hes life in what ever condition .
Like the others? There is a lot of people like him. Cost are way too high in LA.
Bless this sweet and kind gentleman. I pray for him, too stay strong. And maybe, just maybe. Good luck, will find his way 🙏.
God bless Abraham and everybody else 🙏🏾🙏🏾😊
Bless this man I hope things happen for him he deserves it, Thing that disgusts me is the rich live just up the road
Charlie asked some legit questions. His tent looks like he’s glamping out there. Wish him luck.
A guy who keeps everything that clean and tidy would probably make a good employee for someone.
Why only give him food for 1 day when you are asking for support for your channel on a regular. At least feed him for a week. If only for the cleanliness alone.
What a nice man,hopefully he will get a job soon.And a place to stay. He seems like a honest man nice and caring God bless him.lots of praying 🙏
Poor guy sure has bad luck and I'm happy he is not mean.
Would he be mean on camera when the man is paying him? Try giving these guys food gift cards instead of money and see how they react.
Mr Foul Monday 😭🤣😂😭 Off Camera He Be Like.....😈 😂
Someone give Abraham a consistent job and reliable transport.
He seems like a genuine guy just down on his luck.
Hopefully his situation improves.
Take him to norway
He might be a refugee. Regardless, no human being should have to live in a condition like this. We are all part of the same universal family.
@Soldagg He did state that he has held odd jobs here and there and given the area it's probably hard for businesses to justify staying around the area.
As for using drugs, his tent is far too well maintained for that to be the case, most drug addicts would not care about the condition of where they live since the drug becomes the most important part of their life.
Sure, maybe he has committed crimes and maybe that's why he moved from Arizona (I think he said?) to where he is now in hopes that he'll have more luck with getting a job in the new location.
I have no reason, based on this video and the condition of his tent to doubt his story.
@Soldagg why not
@Soldagg That may be so but he was willing to move states to me shows he wants to try and leave whatever may have happned in the previous state in the past.
I've been down that road before and moved states to get away from people that were a bad influence on me and i was lucky i got out before i got a conviction recorded against me which honestly, was very close given i was already granted a two week good behavior for crimes.
Most people are one decision or an unfortunate circumstance away from being homeless. God bless and keep them. Sometimes you have no control of the hand life deals you. Everyone has a story 🙏🏽
nah getting homeless would take me way more stupid decisions than just one... and i can do enough to make sure even the most unlucky circumstances wont make me homeless. you say it too easy.
Bijlowdinho 187 that maybe true for you, but she said “most” people. Most people work average jobs and live paycheck to paycheck. Many people are 1 check away from being homeless.
@@hsaccount_ Hopefully you findout what it takes for you to become homeless.
@@luciferfire1575 i live in the Netherlands, average people dont become homeless by one paycheck here.
@@lovingme1st973 then you'll be glad to know i never will because i know how to become more wealthy and i wasnt raised to stay poor. its a mentality. im paying off my mortgage this year and im in my twenties. and since we dont have natural disasters in the Netherlands that destroy homes.... 😚
This guy’s cool, I wish him the best, he deserves it
Great insight into living in a tent the rule being thrust no one and sleep with one eye open,there are no locks on a canvass tent ,brave man👍
Wow I’m super impressed by him he’s down and out and still looking on the bright side if someone can make him a go fund me I would definitively donate! I know how it is to struggle you have to have a strong mind to make it through he will be blessed very soon great one Charlie 😊🙌🏼
U.sexy asf
That’s nice of you. But what he needs is job and opportunities so he can feel accomplished and build his life with his own strength and will . GoFund is a neat idea but it’s better to earn your own money
Probably the nicest looking tent I've seen on skidrow
God bless this man. He's done his best to make himself as close to a real home as he can in a bad situation. He seems like a good man in a rotten situation through no fault of his own.
WOW man, you have class and morals! Can tell by how you keep your home, clothes and self clean. Good luck man and God bless you. 🙏❤️
Someone needs to give this man a job he seems really clean and creative . The rent is sooo high it's ridiculous.
I gotta say Charlie you are like the birdman you fly in any weather you dnt care if it's 25 degrees and snowing 60 degrees and raining or 85 degrees hot and sunny you heading to you're destinations 🚗..........mile by mile you are the man 👊🏿💪🏿
Oh aight
Please somebody see this and give this man a room are a voucher this is the nicest man I have seen help him god bless him
Thank you for this! This is a reminder to me to not take all my blessings for granted and not prejudge the homeless. God bless you, abraham 🙏
This man has dignity. I admire him for making the most out of his life situation. He will prevail.
Bless his heart hopefully someone will give him a chance and hire him soon
I always wondered what those bigger tents looked like on the inside. They look like tiny houses.
No they dont 😂
@@Iceis_Phoenix hey I saw one with a new generator running on another channel 😄
Greed is ultimately the cause of the homeless crisis.
We've stopped looking out for each other and the future seems to be even more self centered.
@Don Dickles dude CLEARLY isn't high and repeatedly stated he doesn't mess with drugs and alcohol, homelessness can literally happen to anyone. Hope you still have money in a year.
dont get it twisted homeless people very often have only themselves to blame... but maybe thats more the case in my country the Netherlands than america.
@@milklordnomadic meh, partly agree partly dont.. homelessness cant happen to some people because they would no way in hell LET it happen. the difference is that they have a basis to start with
@Don Dickles i mean because in my country the Netherlands you have a lot of chances to make something of your life, maybe more than america i have never been there, but yes youre completely right thats my point indeed as well
@Don Dickles america isn't opportune for everybody.... what's so hard to understand
this fine Man needs to come to the Detroit area. There is no workforce here, everyone on welfare. even a job at Target or Wallmart pays 16-18 an hour and nobody will even apply. This Man will be successful here as he climbs the latter, manager, owner, whatever he wants he can achieve. Thank you for posting this. very seldom do i see anything so positive. My heart goes out to this fellow
I doubt he’s a U.S. citizen....he’s lying about where he’s from...the body language. Even when asked about children it’s just real vague responses.
@@beach_boy1141 great analogy! most people get offended when others point out certain things. I thank you for your comment!
I work in Detroit he right plenty of jobs in the plant
@@beach_boy1141 bingo. He would work but cash only
Horrible place.
This brother is mentally sound and has a good heart . His spirit is strong God bless you and those willing to help you out to Give you a second chance and a head start 🌻 God bless you all and those who are doing their best to help 🌻 Amen
You conducted a very respectful interview and it was interesting seeing this mans life.
Idunno this video hits pretty hard! I hope the best for this guy. Keep doing videos like this, you could make a bigger impact on the less fortunate. Thanks!
This is real journalism - thanks CharlieBo for continuing to share these stories.
There was no story! He did not dug.
Went to LA last week & saw this with my own eyes. Self consciously u think DAM THIS CANT BE TRUE but in reality it’s real. Never saw that many homeless people in my life. It’s so much mental illness going on out there. My heart goes out to all of em. May GOD bless & keep them🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Can you try to get an update on this man? I sure hope he’s been able to find a job recently. God bless him and you for the work you’re doing. Stay safe!
Such a resourceful and eloquent guy fr I hope he wins in life soon he deserves more
Maybe someone will see this and offer him a job. He looks like he keeps himself up and his tent is neat.
Problem is if he even got a job, he ain't gonna be able to afford a place nicer than his tent!
@Rise Over here305 $14
@@gabogainz 15*
Which means he will never leave his tent.
@Rise Over here305 it's going to 15 in texas
Could, go to the bank.
Save it, as long as possible with 0 overhead cost. Maybe get a camper, etc.
Go to an area with lower cost of living, and buy a house or pay enough down so that the mortgage is cheaper than renting. Better than nothing, and might be able to do it in 5 years or less.
Actually a lot nicer on the inside than I thought it would be. Hope this dude catches a break.
At least he cares for his place best skid row tent I ever seen !! God Bless Him!!!!
This dude deserves a job. Clean intelligent, sober.
This man should be the spokesperson for getting people out of there and working. He seems nice and cordial. I wouldn't even think he lived here had i just seen him on the streets.
Agreed.
I recently saw on German in Venice that LA has until October to find actual housing for people on skid row.. I sincerely hope it’s true, that will give this guy a real chance to start his life again... blessings to him💜💜💜💜
This if to let everyone know, that we are all 1 mistake away from being in this mans shoes & don't ever forget that! I'm praying for you man. 🙏🏾👼🏾Somebody give this man a chance. 💯
No American should have to live in places like Skid Row. And as a fellow Arizonian I feel especially sad to see this kind gentleman going through tough times. I wonder how much of that military budget could be spent on improving the lives of everyday Americans...
I am a big fan of yours. I love your videos. This one though, I’ve watched many times. It hits home to me. I hope this gent is doing alright. Thanks for the experience
You don't see Israelis living like this, but America sends them some $40 billion and they have a health care system too.
💯💯💯
You’re not allowed to say this out loud. Cancelled!!
Facta
oh nice try bringing us into it. the us gives much more to egypt and ukraine individually, and israel has to spend it on us stuff. nice try with the antisemitism tho, as long as it isnt to israel no ones talks about it
@@NickThePilotUSA Rushes off with the label whenever in question or criticism, don't ya get tired of hiding behind it? Israeli legislation in America costs billions too, on top of allegiant initiaves for congress. I'll stop there, war money in the ME is incalcuable.
You can tell he has pride in his area and tries to be as clean and neat as possible. he seems like a good dude who fell on some hard times. Hoping he finds his way outta there fast! 🤞
Seems like a genuine guy! My heart goes out for him!
I honestly can say I lived on skid row n as a single female it isn't safe but u do wth u gotta do to stay safe at night...Thank God for the women center down there in the day time
Bro I watched this video when it dropped and didn't realize it was you. I'll never forget this video for the rest of my life. Appreciate the sneak peak.
Thats actually a very nice set up he has there
Damn sad to see stuff this,prayers to him he seems like a good guy.I pray he gets the opportunity he deserves to change his life around.and hopefully he can reunite with his children and these days can be left behind him.🙏🏾
He looks like he is keeping clean, he cares for it, no drugs or alcohol🌟🎥😷
@The Life of Toronto just shut the fuck up 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
@The Life of Toronto YEH AND WHY’S THAT ?
God bless him. I hope he can get some good money paying job and some good support services. I am in tears. He states he doesn't do drugs or alcohol. which is good, but even if he did. He still deserves the best support and services possible. No matter the colour of our skin, we all deserve the best outcomes!
