Would love to get your thoughts on the homeless situation of Las Vegas (and America in general) -- as this is a growing issue nationwide. My goal in making this video was to humanize the tunnel residents of Las Vegas, and let them use my platform as a place to share their own personal stories and struggles. I appreciate you watching this story and I look forward to reading your comments, suggestions and opinions!

As someone who has lived in a number of cities across America and currently lives in Las Vegas, the homelessness issue in Vegas is the worst I have ever seen. A ton of homeless people on the strip at night, and downtown all day long. As for America this has become a major issue and something needs to be done to fix it. Either we need to arrest these people and put them in jail or build places for them to go to. These people are flooding the streets with trash, drugs, crime etc.

Stop claiming nobody knows about these people. Las Vegas knows exactly what it has been doing to its poor and homeless. They have all the money in the world to fix the problem but corporate greed has left them forgotten or worse they’ve been criminalized just for being poor.

Great video! I have gone in the tunnels with Shine A Light a few times. The people who run the organization are absolutely incredible. They bring supplies every Saturday morning, building relationships and trust while addressing almost every person by name. They offer real help without pressure and keep coming back to check on their friends underground. The people they serve know they can call Shine A Light whenever they are ready for a second chance. If you are touched by this video and want to do more, consider donating to their organization directly. In just the first six months of this year, 268 people have accepted their help. ❤️

yup they need some incentive and desire to look forward to. and if everyone treats them like crap they will stay hopeless and not want to do anything or take any effort to bring themselves out of their lifestyles. cause they believe they deserve the way they live, since everyone treats them like trash. it's good that groups like that don't push too much too soon and try to force people to do things. nobody can help anyone who doesn't want help. showing them that not everyone is crap is the only way to get them to look forward to waking up.

They stole his id and everything. What’s on their mind is how they will get their next fix. It’s better to have them work for you for money or try and help them get a job and get them clothes and get them a planet fitness membership so they can shower. But inviting them to stay in your home is way too much and you’re just putting your safety in their hands at that point.

My Dear Lizziehody, 💘 I'm so so proud of you. As reading your comment brought tears to my eyes. I had a beloved friend that I lost who I miss dearly and think about and carry in my heart and memories. In the early days I really tried to help her and hoped that one day she would take it or do it on her own. That day didn't happen and now she is with the angels. It does leave an imprint on your own life when someone you love leaves you like that. Yes you move on with your life but you never ever forget the people that you loved so much. Thank you for your comment as in a way it brought back those beautiful memories that I shared with my friend. Thank you and keep up the awesome work that you are doing. It's absolutely wonderful to hear how well you are living your life. With love ❤and blessings 🙏

Fellow recovering opiate addict here - & I wish I could give active addicts a quick glimpse of what life is like after you get clean. I was one of those people who thought I'd NEVER be able to get right, I thought death would find me first. So if I can do it, I feel like anyone can do it. I've lost DOZENS of friends, classmates, associates, acquaintances over the years. I always have narcan and test strips to give out. People will never stop doing drugs, but I can help them be a LITTLE safer. My new favorite phrase (ive started making shirts/hoodies with it) is Not Just A Junkie. I'm a daughter, an aunt, a cousin, a godmother, im a person. That goes for my fellow addicts, our addiction doesn't define us, we're all still people 💕✨

I have also tried contacting his family but no one got back to me. Jay is from a very good family. My goal is to get him out of the tunnel as soon as possible. I actually went again to Vegas to meet Jay on Jun 28th. I also hung out with him and talked about how he is doing and told him the good news that I got his birth certificate. He was very happy about it. Hopefully we will get his ID and get him out in no time. I'm looking for a place for him so he can stay there in the mean time. It was actually so hot outside as well as inside the tunnel i could not survive for 20 minutes. I love Jay hopefully he stays safe out there until we get his ID back to him. ❤

Everyone has a story about how they became homeless. A guy lives in the woods beside a bridge by my house and Ive stopped to give him food and water before when passing by. I noticed him at 3 AM sitting by the bridge railing while picking my husband up from night shift at work. We stopped to check on him and he said he was starving. We drove him to our house and I went inside and made him some spaghetti, bread and brownies that id made earlier in the day. He was so thankful and we talked for a while. His home burned down with his wife and children along with it. You could see the hurt in his facecand hear the pain in his voice. He lost everything he had and loved in one moment that turned his life upside down. My heart breaks for him. I know people are leary of displaced people because some are bad but theres more good than bad out there, especially now. You never know what life has in store for you. Always try to be kind.

Thank God for Shine a Light! My brother was homeless for 3 years and an organization helped him get into an apartment and furnish that apartment. In order to help the homeless we need to find out WHY the person is homeless. This organization that helped my brother helped me to help him. I now know how to get to the resources he needs. Part of our society's problems is there is NOT enough done for the mentally unstable. Handing out psych pills for free to these people helps in a way but only if the person takes the meds regularly and consistently.

Ex addict and homeless here, sober and off the streets 6 years now. When Rob said “don’t wait too long” and “offer never goes away” I got a huge lump in my throat. A lot of organizations in my area has an expiration date and they won’t wait for anyone so there’s more people that are likely to give up on that help. Help has to be there at all times so you know you’re not truly alone and if you decided in the middle of the night that the time to get help is now you need to be able to make that call to access that help because that feeling of needing to stay sober could change the next minute or with the next let down, which for an addict or homeless person that happens fast and often. Life is unpredictable when you’re stuck in that situation and you don’t know what’s gonna go down or where it might take you.

This nice lady from 7/11 gave us the "old" sandwhiches and fruit when we both came in to combine our change to get a hot coffee. The kind lady to let us ride the eL and sleep on itn on cold nights. We were heroin and crack addicts. Sober from those things while on MAT since JAN 2019. God bless these people. Some of the strongest sweetest people you can get to know.

@jessicam5712

​@@suad01 Adults are responsible for their own decisions, but the decisions that people make under the influence of drugs aren't made in the same way that you make decisions because drugs change the way your brain functions of course this isn't an excuse for dangerous or criminal behavior. We understand that mental illnesses alter our ability to make rational decisions but we don't seem to recognize that addiction does too. That shift in decision-making is what separates an addict from a drug user. Addiction starts in the midbrain, it turns off the neurons that make up our pleasure and euphoria circuit and it floods the brain with dopamine, in the nucleus accumbens that dopamine triggers a wave of pure happiness, next it reaches the amygdala where it deactivates your fear center, wiping away any feelings of stress or anxiety. In response to this the brain creates less of its own dopamine so that when you're not using, you're depressed and the things that would normally bring you pleasure leave you feeling empty. When you try to stop using your brain turns on you. You feel sicker than you ever have, worse than the flu, worse than food poisoning, your eyes and nose water, your skin crawls as you vacillate between too hot and too cold, you vomit and have diarrhea, your head hurts and it aches deep in your joints, you can't get comfortable and you can't sleep and time goes by so slowly, and just as bad as any of that is what is happening in your brain. You feel emotionally empty and overwhelmed by depression and an anxiety that is emotional and physical. Your brain is searching your pathways for dopamine and there is none, it can't make it and you don't have any way to get it. The oldest, most reptilian part of our brain that controls fight or flight takes over, it bypasses the frontal lobe that is responsible for our moral and logic systems, and it's going to get dopamine one way or another and it's desperate. Now you're doing things you would normally never do, now you're discarding your own personal ethics, and you feel it happening and it scares you. Addiction has taken over and the person you were and wanted to be is receding and you want to hang on it, you try to hang on to it. I fought the urge to do terrible things and I'm glad that I did but it wasn't easy. I was young and no one knew what the opioid epidemic was, when my Dr prescribed me pills I didn't ask any questions. I've been sober for 10 years, making that decision was easy but following through wasn't.

I’m glad the man that lived there is helping them out to be free of drugs and alcohol and resources for them to get detox and improve their lives. Is sad I was riding in a limousine and underneath people living in those conditions and not all are addicts but they have a mental illness too or had a life changing event by loosing his children.

The government can only do so much, there is a street called A street, it's on the cross street with Washington avenue. They provide daily jobs there but a lot of homeless would prefer to just panhandle because it's easier money. My brother used to work for the post office on Las Vegas boulevard and lake Mead, there is a little door on the side of the post office called general delivery. Every 10 minutes homeless people would ask if their check came in the mail, most times it would be the same people. They just keep checking if their check have arrived so that they can buy drugs. Lots of provisions here for the homeless but unfortunately you can't help those who won't help themselves

You can't help someone who doesn't want it. I live in Portland, one of the worst cities in the US for homelessness due to the law that decimalized hard drug use. It destroyed the city, people don't want a home, a job, anything, they just want their next fix. They are addicted to drugs and until they are willing to change then the problem will never be fixed.

it’s because the government in America doesn’t actually care about any of its citizens, especially homeless people. they only care about the ones that fill their pockets the most. america is not a great country at all, to be honest.

Because it's not a great country. Our "greatness" is one of the greatest illusions ever pulled off. This country is the anthropomorphization of "greatness" while being a serfdom in disguise. The poor get poorer while the rich get richer. Thats why we're all being replaced by immigrants, so they can extract as much labor as possible for the least amount as possible. The servants are being rode harder and harder every day.

I have a cousin that was homeless in Vegas for many years. He had 2 daughters, a mom and 2 sisters that loved him so much. They tried for years to get him to move back to Arizona with any of them, but he preferred to live homeless in Vegas. He was an amazing home builder and had lots of cousins that would have gladly helped him get clean and give him work. Whatever he wanted to do. He was so handsome. Could have been a model in GQ. He died alone in Vegas like this because of drugs and left his family brokenhearted.

Ive seen maybe 4 or 5 of your videos over about the same amount of years, always liked them but never thought to subscribe for whatever reason. I just subscribed, you are a great journalist. As someone who spent most of their life hustling and around people and places most people wouldnt want to be around, and the latter 8 years of that as a full on dope fiend, I can confidently say you couldn't pay me to step into a place like that unarmed, but you did. I have a lot of respect for you doing so. You are doing real journalism, real education, highlighting the real issues in America as opposed to whatever bs the news is spewing. You definitely deserve the following you have acquired over the years.

This is why more and more people are living 'Van/Camper/RV Life'. I think that MORE people should consider this, BEFORE 'being homeless'. Meaning.....if rent/mortgage is becoming more and more of a struggle, start planning and saving to buy a 'van' or RV to live in. There are tons of 'Van Life' vids on YT. One of my favs is Foresty Forest, from up in Canada. Example: If I was in a house, with a mortgage and the payments were getting harder to make......and eventually I would NOT be able to make the payments.....I would stop paying the mortgage, SAVE that $$ (to buy an RV), start selling off my household furnishing.......and when I'd have enough to buy that RV....walk away from my house. One does NOT wait til 'last minute', when they foreclose on ones house, and kick you out; there ARE options!!
