Portland Elderly Homeless Man Is 69 and Sleeps under a Bridge

[@InvisiblePeople]

@Gm3Beats Homeless videos don't make money! The reason I don't shut off the camera is because this KZbin channel has started housing and feeding programs. People who were once homeless are sleeping inside tonight because of my traveling around the country to empower homeless people to tell their own stories! At the end of the week I don’t have enough income to pay bills. I often eat at a homeless shelter because I cannot afford food. I work daily to help homeless people get into HOUSING!

[@surreygeorge11]

I want to know more about these programs. We have a few programs going. Our focus is mainly on housing, and you probably already know, never enough to do all the things we want. Our highest priority is vets and seniors, but we try for all. Thumbs up. If you come up to Vancouver, let us know.

You don’t have to explain you’re self to anybody you’re an amazing person

[@barryretmanski4763]

What a lovely old man, I hope he is well! Very inspiring! I hope he gets a place to stay soon! Bless him!

[@justlivelovelaughfrugally]

Aaaaw he has a heart condition and says that being out there and getting to meet people helps him out. I love him.

[@awesomedez]

This is heartbreaking.

[@MJ_Solo]

What a sweetie pie

[@CashIsKing_UseItOrLoseIt]

Even if he got some type of housing I hope he was able to keep selling the magazine's as it was giving him a real purpose and connection to others.

Sorry that these people are talking to you like that. I have never seen any ads on your site. Probably the homeless people scare them, and they are just striking out at whoever is nearest, and that is you. You are doing a great job, keep up the good work. I used to be 'invisable'. It is exhausting spending your days keeping 'invisable'. Hopefully some day I meet you.

[@InvisiblePeople]

@LILNATE650 I am not a KZbin partner, and if there are ads, I do not receive a penny from them. I am part of the KZbin nonprofit program, but that does not share ad revenue. Also - homeless videos do not make money! Anyone out to make money would not be producing homeless videos. People do not come home from work & say "let's watch a few homeless stories"! Come on people think about it! Again - HOMELESS VIDEOS DO NOT MAKE MONEY!

[@Dpurple28]

Invisible People keep your head up mark. I saw the doc where you broke down crying in your car because the need is so great and the heartbreak is unbearable. I cry seeing these videos and I felt your pain because you want to help everyone but you are only one man. Don't give up you are helping these people a little at a time. You truly are an angel on earth. I wish you all the happiness in the world. Love you Mark.

[@chrisadams1379]

A true gem!!!

[@XR650L_GUY]

I've been there. It's really scary to see yourself going down the tube but we are all resilient whether we know it or not. You get a basic routine and come up with resources and if ya get a hustle, you're good. This man has a great attitude.

[@DitseyMc]

I have spent my whole life comfortably with every bill and every ounce of food payed for.Now I'm too facing homelessness. I decided five months ago to watch these videos in hope that I would learn something about being homeless,and it would give me a jump start on knowing how to survive on the streets. I think the time was well spent. Thanx

[@Dpurple28]

Ditsey Mceuen I'm so sorry. I might be homeless one day. People are in danger of becoming homeless more than ever these days. So people who are fortunate don't judge because one day you could be in one of these videos.

[@richardegan1204]

How did it work out, I hope you found something....God speed

[@vanessaculater9038]

Its years later and it's as bad as it could be..such sadness comes to see all the homeless people with kids and dogs and something's got to give...change must come..I hope it good change but I'm not hopeful for that

[@lorrainekaai4660]

Its tough,scary and not safe being homeless as a senior or if you have no good health

[@lorrainekaai4660]

All my family has died back home in hawaii and its just my brother and i taking care of each other now here in vegas

[@katerineella274]

These stories make me think 'there but for the grace of God go I'

[@DestinyQx]

im thinkin of starting my own charity organization to help homeless people, and it all started with mark, so ya youtube and mark makes a difference :)

[@HalfAryanHunterGatherer]

whats up man did you open one now? its been 9 years

[@christopherrosado6053]

The Lord is merciful....may he or this individual, find Peace and comfort soon. All pray for him, and those in need these difficult days.... Peace

[@cyberwick9855]

Mark is doing such a great job in world wide awareness.this is the work that jesus did helping the poor

[@littledotti]

Very sad, very sad.

[@AP-dl6gp]

[@lindamerchant123]

It's really really bad when serious military vets seniors families with single folks living outside in this nation

[@EvanGuerra]

May luck be on your side old man!

[@DaleB]

@Gm3Beats I am trying to get back on the road as a driver after taking time off to care of mom for 3 yrs. When I do im making it a mission to give free rides to where ever my brothers and sisters need to go. It will be my part in this madness of homelessness that has been allowed to happen.

[@TeamHorizen]

69... he looks healthy!

[@CYV214]

[@kkooloo5781]

[@howellwong11]

We all have a life to live and we are not born equal. Some are born smart and some are born not so smart. I'm smart, but not very smart, so I'm doing OK.

[@DonnaWright-b2x]
