I'm sorry, Debbie. I meant the scenery and the kind folks that live there. I was treated like family, everyone I met, and it was wonderful! I hope things turn better for you and yours! Plus, I have to be honest, the women from there had the most beautiful accents!!!!!

Good interview, I wish him the best!!

[@deecates7715]

I have not watched this video yet. I am about to start watching it but I have seen a few of your older videos that were recommended for me to watch and I think it is amazing what you are doing. I am not sure why your videos were recommended to me but I am very happy that I have been able to watch the videos I have. I don't share things on any of my social media really but I have been someone who has always tried to help people in any way I can. Including if I would be out somewhere especially when my kids were young (they are all grown and have their own kids lol and I have 12 grandkids). But anytime my kids and I were out and saw someone who was homeless we always tried to buy some water and a sandwich or something and give it to them. And if they had a dog with them we always get the dog some dog food. We would take them some blankets, clothes and etc to them too. I hope more ppl watch your videos and maybe they will either send some stuff to you for ppl or find it in their hearts to help the homeless where they live. Especially now with the pandemic and so many people lost their jobs and homes so if they just do anything they can to help others it would just make things better for the ppl they are helping and that will make them feel better too. Take care and keep on doing what your doing.

[@jimjones8808]

Hey Tom, did you stay in touch with Shane at all? I hope he can catch a break. He seems like a really nice guy and is clearly intelligent to boot.

[@ChosenWon]

Sorry, I don't . He's a great guy.

[@roles3858]

Nice son helping his dad. I thought he was so much older. I'm sure he's had a hard life...just needs a break. Those towns don't have much. I wish him well. Good find chosen!!

[@sierrachoco5271]

I'm from the North and I have never heard people from Appalachia "just don't want to work" - in fact I have heard the exact opposite! Basically, very hard workers who fell on very hard times.

[@vondasue4004]

I worked with large % of West VA ppl. The owner of the business was from WV, so many of his friends moved to ATL area. They are all great workers, loyal workers & loved their families. They always said they were from the Hollow...This was Construction related industry.

[@philippreitshammer]

How awesome you went there. Always wanted to learn more from the area. Thanks bud
