Arkansas Bill: Country Boy Survives Alone

In this 5th episode of this unexpectedly popular (and powerful) series, Arkansas Bill opens up about the loss of his dear Norma Jo, hosts her memorial service, and welcomes an unexpected guest.
I meet some townsfolk, see Jo's memorial garden, and reflect with Bill on how to appreciate life in the face of painful loss.
Once again, we get the sweet-sounding soundtrack by Kevin Bean in this meaningful new chapter of Bill's life. Also once again, we get the smooth-cuts and shots from series co-creator Paul Givens.
This episode is affiliated with our nonprofit The Periphery Foundation (theperiphery.org). Donations made in Bill's name will all go toward helping him.
Or, DONATE TO BILL at our GoFundMe for him: www.gofundme.com/tipping-arka...
Thanks for watching and caring.

Poor bill I feel so bad for him, how lonely he probably is. He seems strong though

This is beautiful! I have an urn necklace I would love to send to Bill if at all possible. He could carry her close to him everyday! I know exactly what it feels like to have to go pick your loved one up in the form of ashes. I keep my mom as close as possible. God Bless you, Bill. Praying for you, brother! ❤

These are real Americans, and the way people should be with each other instead of bashing each other.

[@JoeMethenyYT]

I never thought watching a video of people that live a lifestyle that seems continents away from mine would make someone like me shed a tear. Despite our vast differences, my best wishes go out to this man.

[@satyarthsingh2276]

This made me tear up, hope you're doing good Bill. Greetings from India!

[@Crat89]

I use to live about 2 miles up the road from him when I was a child. I remember it like it was yesterday. He’s had all that stuff in his yard from as far back as I can remember. Crazy seeing this on here.

[@RedNeckSurgeyTech]
