A cold homeless Liverpool man with nothing gets help from YOUR generosity

[@PaulJohn-tb4vm]

I wish there was more people like you helping the homeless people bless you 🙏

[@Nowhereman1]

Thanks

[@Kevcupo]

That’s extremely kind, thank you

[@sandragoss62]

Thank you for this. The homeless become invisible in our society I can’t begin to imagine how they feel. It’s the same in London. When I go I get someone something. A drink, a sandwich etc. I don’t give money. It’s a controversial subject giving money because they may use it for substances or alcohol but then I’ve heard it said we’re using our privilege to decide what their need is. It’s truly a tricky one. Whatever we give helps for sure. Sometimes just sitting and talking to them gives them such a sense of worth. I saw a young guy in London propped up against a bin he looked so unwell. I stopped and spoke to him and he said he slept during the day in crowded places because he felt unsafe to sleep at night. Truly heartbreaking. What has society come to. It’s heartbreaking to think these people for whatever reason have ended up homeless.

[@barbaraThornborough]

Your a beautiful soul brother bless you 🙏

[@Brazola1872]

You are a good man helping people that have hit hard times. It seems like you are starting from square one when well established local outreach groups would benefit more from your platform and publicity you could bring. Please don't take that as a criticism because you are an inspiration to many and have a heart of gold

[@Kevcupo]

No that’s absolutely correct, I don’t mind working with an organisation and getting them some exposure

[@ClaireLouiseONeill-cw6me]

People attack us in the tents

[@stevendaly3680]

Your a hero mate..❤❤

[@Seemi72]

Thank you for helping the homeless, once the funds start to go low we will donate. It’s shocking how councils allow people to exist on the streets in this day and age. So much for being an advanced country 😢

[@Kevcupo]

Yeah I’m still deciding the best way to spend the money

[@franwilby1254]

Well done for helping the homeless. Liverpool looks lovely at night 😊.

[@Kevcupo]

It does

[@marksmith1944]

Bless your heart Kev and everyone else that helps the homeless 👍🌟😇👌🏻🤗🥰 I can’t imagine how it must be. We need to be more sympathetic to the genuine homeless.

[@Kevcupo]

We do Mark, it’s just getting harder to spot the genuine ones

[@throughtheeyesofachild61_45]

Now then Kev😁👍🏻 your an angel in the streets with these genuine homeless men and women, thank you so much for everything you do. Hope you are doing well and life is treating you well 🤗X

[@Kevcupo]

Yeah I’m doing ok, thank you for asking

[@barbaraThornborough]

You have a big heart ❤️

[@sandyallen1610]

I’m so glad your finding out what people need. I can see each person’s requirements are different. Keep up the good work Kev, your doing a fantastic job 👍🙏

[@Kevcupo]

Yeah it’s a massive learning curve for me

[@user-mm2pj4nb6gcaz]

Hey ❤ you're amazing x

[@denisemeehan688]

You have such a kind heart ❤

Only doing what others would if they had the platform

[@MichaelSmalls]

great video kc what you are doing for the homeless in liverpool is amamzing fair play to you you are an amazing human being and liverpool needs more people like you and the world needs more people thank you buddy :) when i get to liverpool for game id love to meet you to say thank you for your videos your a great guy all the best buddy :)

[@Kevcupo]

Thank you Michael, I really appreciate that mate. I’m only doing what a lot of others do and get no recognition for it

[@liverbird4553]

The fountain was damaged some year's ago when the continental market used to have the food stalls. One of the food vendors dumped a load of old cooking oil down the fountain grids. The council did clear what they could. Think the damage was beyond fixing or the cost wasn't worth it. You're doing a thankless job mate 👍 scouse street angel ❤

[@Kevcupo]

Thanks mate, I didn’t know that. All that money now wasted

[@MalcolmWalsh-u7b]

The food vendor should have foot the bill

[@Glennupton91]

Charge the market

[@liverbird4553]

@user-gb4el1yy8e they had already gone back home before the damage was discovered. After that no continental food market's were allowed to use the square or any other open air market's. They should have been made to pay for the damage! But, you know how lpool council are a bunch of idiot's!!

[@liverbird4553]

From the local newspaper...However the centre of Williamson Square itself is largely empty, but for masses of pigeons. Its famed £1.1m metal grid fountain remains turned off - which was said to suffer from flooding after being installed, with previous claims temporary food outlets added to the issue by pouring boiling fat down its grid. More recently the council says it hasn't worked for a number of years.

[@liverbird4553]

Hey kev. Might be worth knowing they have a really cheap shop in old swan called Fruitque it was actually known as one of Liverpools hidden gems. Ritchie is the owner he sells socks 10 pairs for £2 and other useful stuff a homeless person would appreciate. You could make care bags with socks, hats etc. Get the 10, 9 or 8 bus to the swan get off the tesco stop. Everyone knows the shop you'll see the goods he puts outside ( weather permitting) hopefully it might be of some use to you. 😊

[@houseofbaboshka6456]

Imagin how many people they could have sorted out with the money they wasted on that bloody fountain! New sub here Kev 😁

[@Kevcupo]

Exactly my thoughts

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

Over a million quid. I think it was £1,100,000. Imagine the people that could have sorted? They could have done a permanent night shelter for that kind of money.

[@rockabillycatz]

Am still looking for that story in the Tom slemen books kev I will find it bud.great video as always 👍👍

[@Kevcupo]

Me too, I can’t find it at all, it’s getting frustrating now 😂

[@liverbird4553]

Which story? I may know it. 😊

[@paulguise698]

Hiya Kevin, I like the Radio City tower particularly at night time, and the square around it, what you do for the homeless is unbelievable, handing free food out, keep up the good work, I hope Liverpool (outside Newcastle) win the league and Everton stay up, all because want you do for the cities homeless, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England

[@PeterMouat-x8m]

KC, the water jets in Williams Sq. Have been there for years, my Grandson had great fun running through them in the summer months. Appear to have been turned off due to Covid. As aver keep up the good work and take care.

[@Kevcupo]

Thank you Peter

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

They’re broken due to being damaged by food vendors putting used cooking oil down them, apparently it would cost them another million quid to sort it.

[@henrythegamer814]

God be with u keV keep up the good work ❤❤❤

[@Kevcupo]

Thank you Henry

[@KatS23]

You’re doing great thank you and all the kind supporters too! Also any news on Mary and her beloved cat? Hope both okay 🙏

[@Kevcupo]

Thanks Kat, I haven’t where Mary is since she got moved on

Thanks for replying, really hope she and her cat are okay

HI Kev another great video where has the link gone to donate. Again thank you for sharing.

[@Kevcupo]

I haven’t advertised for a while mate as there is money in the kitty

[@philipparry296]

Top man u mate.

[@Kevcupo]

Thank you Philip

[@Insight62]

Hiya Kev, Homeless Aid UK are Out in Liverpool with Clothing and Food etc maybe You could Team up with Them. Also there was a Comment on One of You're Videos from a Man in Cumbria that has Tents He would Donate if Someone can Collect. Stay Safe. ❤🙏

[@Kevcupo]

That would be a massive help

[@maysloman5313]

It's seems to get more and more difficult as you start to encounter the range of underlying issues. Do you know the Seal Street Sisters, (sister's of charity) I think they have a community group that distribute food and drink to the homeless. Their office is on Seel Street . You have such generous subscribers it just shows how many people want to come forward. There is only so much any one person can do. If I am able to get any response from groups I will be meeting I'll get back to you. All the best.

[@nikkikennedy7834]

I remember a few years back walking through town and stopped to give a fella some change and it was raining so I said you could do with a tent and he told me someone had been hurt in a tent as youths were throwing bricks at the tent anyway that's what he told me 😢

[@Kevcupo]

That’s probably right Nikki

[@vickibushell7083]

Plus some tents have been set fire to also 😥😳

[@dannyk3786]

My perspective has changed I always tried to help anyone but I realised money was been used the wrong way so I decided on drinks n food I then kept finding and seeing these been thrown or just left behind I don’t have much so I decided to give up doing it and just look after my family and close friends

[@Kevcupo]

Yes Danny it can be frustrating, I get where you’re coming from

[@StevenHolmes-s3e]

Well done Kev! If they have cardboard as a mat maybe they could keep this and place the plastic mat over this - as added protection against the cold and damp? Are they already doing this? If you never ask a question, no matter how dumb it seems, you never get an answer!

[@Kevcupo]

No such thing as a stupid question, always ask if you’re not sure

[@davasmith8452]

Well in Kev great stuff hope dont sound mad but when you give the tents out can you give them a demo some people might not get how easy it is to install and put away again

[@Kevcupo]

There is zero set up mate, it pops up as soon as it comes out of the bag

[@nikkikennedy7834]

Kev they are turning down tents as they can't see what is going on outside the tent and plus they won't get any money from people passing, but that's not to say they have a little spot somewhere they can put a tent up 😔

[@throughtheeyesofachild61_45]

That’s what i was thinking too

[@Kevcupo]

Yeah you could well be right

[@nikkikennedy7834]

That's not to say they appreciate all that you do for them and all the things you give food sleeping bags etc you are very kind to give up your time 😄

[@tracyg1640]

Think that lad definitely needed the sleeping bag and tent such a shame your doing well Kevin.

[@geoffreydeniscrawford7296]

Best to give food rather than money a lot of homeless people have addictions and giving money just adds to the problem

[@Kevcupo]

Yeah it’s a tough one

[@stevendaly3680]

Wish we had liverpool councilors who had the brains to help the people of the city.. not there bank balance... lots of empty buildings everywhere. Sick. Sick. Sick. 21st century... 😢

[@kingkong81icloud]

If I ever end up homeless I would get some wood an build a wigwam if I could afford to stay out of town but I bet they need to be seen to get help, I should never end up homeless as I build a double extension on my grandma’s old house, but you never know what could happen

[@Kevcupo]

You’re correct, you just never know

[@thehomelessyoutuber844]

The fake beggars make a fortune, it's sods law, there was this girl who used to watch whoever gave me some change when I was busking and she would then approach them and get them to draw cash out from the cash machine. It drove me mad, she would do this well over ten times so that's at least a hundred and I would struggle to make £20. The thing is I knew for a fact that she wasn't homeless but her boyfriend used to stand within sight so I couldn't say anything. They are leeches.

[@Kevcupo]

That’s really bad, someone with actual talent earning less than someone who is begging. It’s a sad world

I think a few of them need looking at, that lad last night looked really unwell

[@liverbird4553]

As long as they get their methodon they don't care. Talking to a few homeless i know around town the ones with dog's do have free access to veterinary care.

[@Kerry-ft2zf]

Maybe some don't want tents bec of the risk of being set on fire & trapped or maybe they think it draws more attention from authorities

I did used to leave them, but after being contacted by many homeless people. They said they would prefer to be woken up to receive stuff

[@Chloe31778]

I thought you don't give money tho

I don’t usually, but this man didn’t look at all well. So I had about about £1.20 in my pocket to give him
