Imagine the cool calendar you could’ve made with his artwork, Knate… And sell it to help them snd/or others. ❤❤❤

[@ashleyok333]

I totally thought the same thing! Something can be done with that beautiful art! Or all it would take is a musician to use one of those for an album cover or something ❤️ really rad stuff.

[@RobertMiller-tb5rx]

Agreed! I thought the same thing too!! How about making a calendar out of them?! I would gladly purchase to help him!!

[@dontcare3430]

The colors looked very bright, calming . I like the idea of a calendar.

[@ashleyok333]

Yes!!! I’m getting ahead of myself here, but what would be REALLY cool is if somehow funds could be generated one day though crowdfunding or some other way, for a calendar with a little mini digital alarmclock attached to it for anyone unhoused or who doesn’t have access to a clock. Just that one thing, a calendar and a clock, could change someone’s life ❤ sending love to all of you people

[@denisemckiver69]

Getting a hug is as much of a gift to many homeless people as the monetary gifts are. It helps to remind them that they are part of humanity and deserving of respect and love by their fellow man. So many people treat them with disdain but that's not right. A hug can even feel scary to some because they're not use to others hugging them and they fear being harmed or they don't know how to process it emotionally. It's great that Knate gives them the option to choose a hug or hand shake.

[@T3n50r]

Yeah, the option to choose is important. Hugs can be too much for a lot, traumatic even, and saying "no" may not be something they want to do after everything he's done for them. So asking for a handshake or a hug shows how much he cares as well and how understanding he is. I love that about him.

[@Slicpimp420]

Pirate has a big heart! 🩵

[@pamprier4710]

Knate, the thing I appreciate most is that you don't just help them get thru temporarily... you help them move forward. I hate to admit it, but most of us hadn't thought that far ahead, whenever we've seen a homeless person. Thank you for being so perceptive, as well as kind.

[@justiningram9341]

Knate, I'm serious, Pirate's art looked to be very beautiful!! I wish you would've gotten it into the camera view better! But from what was visable, it really looked nice.. actually beautiful! Please pass that on to him and keep up what you're doing brother... you are a great man sir! 👍🙏❤

[@BrandonWestfall]

Notice there's still snow on the ground. When people think of Nevada they think of a desert being hot. While that may be the case in the summer that isn't true all year long. I challenge anyone who reads this comment to look in your closet and find any clothing you no longer need. Run it down to your nearest homeless shelter and donate it. (Thrift stores often do help with clothing but it's better to give it to the source.) It costs you nothing and clears up clutter. What may sit in your closet for a year collecting dust could make someone's day and keep them warm.

[@sparklemotion86]

Nevada, Spanish word meaning snowfall....

[@AJplayz297]

Excuses never ends. Young men should be working hard and not to be making stories for free stuff.

[@charles1606]

What's your justification for being a poor excuse?

[@BrandonWestfall]

@@AJplayz297 You really have no idea what you’re talking about. Until you’ve been homeless and have lived through that experience you really don’t have room to talk. Have you ever tried finding work when you don’t have a physical address, phone number, clean clothing, a place to shower, and transportation? I have, it’s hell. It’s easy to sit on the sidelines and say “just get a job.”

[@keemandikotravels]

I hate it when people say that these folks need to get a job. We don't know what people go through. Especially what trauma or mental health issues people are dealing with. Even if they get a minimum wage job, how do they get together enough money to get an apartment??? It's almost impossible. I've been homeless and lived in a truck. If not for family I would be in a tent myself

[@ppshale7223]

God bless you Knate! God bless those that can send help to Knate!! God bless those that can send only prayers!!!

[@margaretjohnston9664]

I used to work with the homeless in the uk and have seen people sleep on the floor as they couldn't lie in a bed anymore. Ex military found it especially hard to live in the shelter

[@MsMadmax1]

Knate, the world needs more people like you. If you don't have money to buy supplies, food or just to give to the homeless, you can give of your time and talents. My neighbors were an elderly couple who moved next door. They no sooner got settled and the wife had two strokes and broke her hip. The man was beside himself trying to cook, clean, do laundry and run errands. I donated time to clean their house, cook meals and sit with the wife while he went to the store, doctor or to pick up prescriptions. It meant so much to have all that done so some of the stress was taken off his shoulders. Unfortunately, he passed a year and a half after they moved in, and the wife went to a nursing home. I still visit her every week. Many people are just a paycheck away from being homeless. While these folks had a roof over their heads, sometimes people just need help but are too proud to ask for it.

[@jacobfoster9185]

The transition he's attempting to articulate are very similar to what I have and other vets go through as well as people who have been incarceration. The struggle is REAL but not always visible. I think that fear also plays a large part of why people don't help and have negative and aggressive feelings for the homeless. I saw this in my fellow soldiers around soldiers who were wounded badly and disabled and when I was a fighter athletes who experienced injury and losses. It's like if you help and interact that it makes it more likely that you will end up like them.Fear leads to anger. I hope that you and those you care for are happy, healthy, and safe this new year. Semper Fidelis

The less you have, the more you are generally willing to give. It is very strange given rich people often tout themselves as being generous. Makes me think of Elvis.

Men are so inarticulate when faced with such kindness and help. They are used to people expecting they can handle everything in life and come out on top, so they feel awful when they are down and out..... I wish they could know we don't all feel they should be on top off things all the time. There are so many of us who know how it feels to be close to the edge and could go over it at any moment. Hey guys, just take what you're given from the guy who is just doing his best to love his neighbor and.. .. Be.... Neighborly. Don't worry about effuse gratitude, except in private to God who wants to help you. As for Knate, he's a neighbor.
