Homeless Expats In Benidorm 🇬🇧🇪🇸

I spent a day with a saint in Benidorm Spain!
#homeless #spain #benidorm #british #expat
Join me as I spend the day with Jonny, a British expat living in Benidorm Spain. He is a professional musician, ex addict and formerly homeless. Jonny now dedicates his days to helping others in the community he lives. He delivers meals, supplies, support, advice and much more to the homeless population of Benidorm on behalf of local charity Project 4 All. I think many will be surprised at the stories of many of the homeless people in this video. Benidorm is synonymous with being a large and bustling tourist hotspot that attracts plenty of Brits and other Europeans. It also attracts many expat nationals, particularly British, to permanently locate. For some of these expats, their dream of a new life in the Mediterranean sunshine can turn into a nightmare. Some lose everything and end of sleeping rough on the streets. I join Jonny on his mission to help these individuals and he helps me understand their unique situations with empathy.

I went on a night out in Benidorm and got extremely drunk and wasnt feeling good at all when a homeless man who was from Sheffield in England helped me out as I was all over the place. He had a lost his Job over there and had fallen out with his family and just never went home. He was a kind hearted fellas and I have never forgotten about him.

Yes I agree. I think all politicians should have mandatory experience of helping the homeless people for a year before they can sit in a nice office. Then policies, funding and accomodation may improve to get people in work and off their addicrions.

I know Jonny, that man is a saint. As for music, Jonny is without doubt one of the best musicians I have ever known and played with. I urge everyone to put their hand in theor pocket and give even just a little, a couple of quid or Euros. Bless you Jonny and Wendall.

[@marcopaganotto9125]

I personally work with people who have been unlucky enough to end up homeless back in the UK. I've been doing that kind of work for almost 20 years straight, so as a consequence, have seen the UK's descent into mass homelessness over the last couple of decades. The truth is, there's not many people like Johnny and we definitely need more of them. However the sad thing is, people who are selflessly giving of themselves pretty much never get the recognition they deserve, because Society is geared up towards looking down upon people who are seen to be "loosers" who are responsible for their situation in life. Tell you what, once you've heard people's stories, the reasons why they've ended up on the streets, you quickly learn that life can deal you unexpected blows that completely derail the path you had envisioned for yourself. Never, ever judge anyone you see on the streets, because the truth is, it can easily be you! Especially in the times we're currently living in, where we have a "Government" that a able to spend billions of our taxes on war we never agreed to, but can't find the money for essential public services. Times aren't set to get any easier, and I hope I'm wrong, but things are likely to become more difficult than we could ever imagine over the next decade.

Greetings from Glasgow, what a good hearted man Jonny is. I hope people living in Benidorm see what good this man is doing and offer help however they can.

[@kellygreen-xk6vw]

I live in East Kilbride, my son gave me a couple of hundred pound.. i asked if i could spend it on buying backpacks & filling with things for the homeless.. he said yes of course & gave me more money, but i gave him the extra back and said I'm a smart shopper. Well, me & my mate went and filled the back packs with essentials bit also things like a writing pad & pen, groundsheet, socks, hat, gloves, snacks, baby wipes all kinds of stuff. We handed them out in Glasgow. We had a couple of pound coins left so gave it out in a shared way couple of quid each. 1 man had a dog so my mate ran back to the car & got all thr tins of dog food we bought which was about 6 only cheap stuff but the man was happy we had some for his dog. We had run out of change by now and i couldn't leave him with no money with him having the dog, i got him a tenner out the cashpont. He was so happy. I can't go by people on the streets, we always go to Prestwick and there's usually a foreign old guy there, i don't have any money now but usually can give a pound or two, he knows us now and nods his head, sometimes i dont have a quid on me but everytime im there i go in the big charity shop they sell clothing for a pound. So, i buy my clothes off that rail and get some change so i can give it to him. People buy him greggs as he usually sits outside there. Now, there are teams feeding the homeless in glasgow, also like a food bank system. It's not just the homeless queuing up! Lots of young families& working people. It's shocking to see at first, but i have found the community has pulled together, there's a site on Facebook, that gives away free household items anyone can post, i think its called shop for nothing. Anyway theres a few others similar. People are helping each other It's beautiful when you see it.

You mentioned something that really stood out for me ' acknowledgement'. I live in Spain and say hello to all the homeless and the elderly. You could be the only person they talk with all day, as most people ignore them completely.

This is very true. I've just bumped into a guy I help out here in Spain and he's just moved into an apartment. He was proper buzzing and told me how he appreciated my help, that of Project 4 All and others who've donated over the 3 years he's lived in a doorway and told me it's being spoken to like a normal human that meant the most to him. That people being kind and asking how he was, saved his life many times. I'm so happy for him. 2nd chance. 🥰

@@Darth_BNT This is certainly not the case here in Spain . We can only claim income support for two years and that is only if you paid a sufficient amount into the system. One of the guys I wrote about on my page, worked in construction, paid in black money, (not his choice) shattered his ankle and got nothing. He is now in a wheelchair, living in a tent provided by this charity. In fact, many of the guys we support don't drink (some the occasional one, but to be honest, if this was my reality, Is be on whatever I could get) Many are very articulate, like the guys in this video and try to take care of themselves and are not off their heads!

Addiction is the cause of homelessness and I am not talking about those on the streets. Those addicted to money are the root cause; those who exploit other people's desperate circumstances to feed their own habit; those who promote the idea that homelessness is somehow a choice. The greedy need rehabilitation just as much as drug addicts do, (in fact, more so). The problems of an underclass are, of course, extremely useful to many.

😢I gave a homeless man opposite my house, a coffee and a sandwich one freezing rainy morning, and he wept saying thank you for being kind to me I observed that he was sleeping on cardboard, so I went home to get him blankets, cosmetics, a warm jacket, and food This tiny act of kindness motivated this man (who was homeless due to a very serious accident at work and the boss subsequently shutting down the company and running away without paying him) to find a room to rent. He's still unemployed at present, so I pay the rent on his room for now. This man has changed from broken and beaten to hopeful. In four months his body language has changed dramatically because he has renewed hope and someone who cares. Just the other day, he came by to pick up his rent, and as he is still unemployed I gave him some food. Again, this man just cried, saying, I wish I had the words to tell you how you have changed my life Johnny and Wendall you guys are the change catalysts we need in the world. ❤❤❤❤

My area isn't rough, and has very low crime rate, but the people that live here don't have a caring bone in their body. I was chatting to my neighbor about this lady last week and she was venomous. I had to stop her and inform her I have worked with the homeless and I don't agree with her. She seemed shocked that I was kind and caring, most people look at me and think I'm a thug.

Jonny is a very kind man we need many more like him ❤

I also left England with £50 35yrs ago. I returned with enough money to buy a house after a couple of years. Now I am back to having very little and secretly homeless. You never know how easily it can happen until it does.

Lay off the smack

[@pedazodetorpedo]

Wouldn't happen to me mate. If I had enough to buy a house even 30 years ago, right now it would be worth £300,000 minimum ie more than most have in their pensions. You squandered whatever you had, nobody to blame but yourself.

[@user-vv9dn1dk2u]

Alas I wish I had but no I lost everything through being too trusting, I don't even smoke and drink very little but don't you worry I am on the way back up again.@@pedazodetorpedo

[@baltasarmelchor935]

many people are not aware, many of us look at homeless people without understanding that we are closer to being like them, than to being in the elites, we walk a tightrope

[@a.cotton3963]

A fascinating glimpse of Benidorm. The world needs more folk like you guys.

[@handsomenumber1393]

What a contrast to 'Bargain Loving Brits in the Sun' ! This is a side to Benidorm you don't see. Well done to Jonny, what a great genuine and caring guy he is, making a big difference to many people lives, good luck to you mate.

[@WendallExplores]

😔

[@saulmc8920]

At least its warm at nights in canaries

[@pedazodetorpedo]

Qué vergüenza! No deberían quedarse así sobretodo después del Brexit, ahora son clandestinos como los africanos

[@pedazodetorpedo]

I will be in Tenerife in May. If I see any homeless Brits I will personally offer them a flight home on the day I leave. I suspect none of them will take me up on that offer though, because they are content in their squalor and addiction but let's see...

[@ciaranbyrne62]

They are not allowed to spend more than 90 days in Europe! Why don't they deport them?

[@22seanmurphy]

Wow truly humbling and brought tear's to my eyes what an amazing guy.

[@kimbeaney6747]

Your kindness Wendall with Johnny is very uplifting. God and the universe applaud you!

[@northernpickers]

what a guy! I lived and worked there from 2000 ! loved every minute!!! until 911 and the euro,, then covid,,, brings a tear to many eyes...

[@dpaudits]

Met Danny back in July, and November on holiday, seemed so troubled kept talking about his mum n dad who moved to benidorm many years ago, and he would not leave as it reminds him of their place, interesting conversation with him aboout his parents, for many hours, I gave him €30 euros, and food, also, later that evening he was siting outside masimar supermarket up by tropical bar, he was with another guy who was from Belgium, had 2 dogs, I went inside bought them more food and food for the dogs, he played his guitar, Danny was out of it drinking strong beer, where this other guy with tey dogs gave me a hug and tried to access my pockets and take my wallet. I lost respect didn't say anything and walked off, and never returned. Not Danny's fault but that other guy taking advantage.

[@nanwilder2853]

You were ENABLING him/them! Why should they try to get their addictions under control, when there are well-meaning suckers willing to wait on them hand and foot?

[@hulabiker21]

@@nanwilder2853 14:15 addiction ain’t that simple. Addicts need proper help. But in order to receive it, they need to stay alive. So that’s what these “enablers” are doing, just keeping them alive, one more day…hopefully.

[@Shamele55]

What an amazing person with a big heart - God bless you

[@samh200]

This is so heartbreaking. Jonny, you’re an inspiration.
