[@sylvaniusross9705]

+Muse Cadde ol shut the fuck ☝

[@danielperez3375]

its sad that the people who have amazing personalities are ones who sometimes struggle the most

[@suli5109]

sometimes it's the struggle that allows you to develop the personality. You are your experiences and what you make of them...

[@TYREEKPOOLE-ju5mx]

Daniel Perez ; it's the way of this fucked-up world. good is bad bad is good, it's horrible that's why you have to believe in something just to make it through everyday

[@44pachino71]

I've been homeless to and that shit ain't no joke but for 3 years sleeping in a car is ridiculous it's plenty help for a woman with kids to be assisted and the reason I can speak on that particular situation is cause I know. smh

[@letsgetit90]

we all need to thankful for the things we have in our life ^_^

[@lomxeasymoney8235]

[@Henry-gd6vw]

I just realized how much I don't appreciate what I have! Damn

[@shamboozler566]

Same This Is Touching

[@Solid1Steve]

how can u not like this. this is aspiring

[@BrotherToby85]

Wow, they're so humble. I pray that the Lord blesses these people. It takes a lot of courage to publicly open up like this.

[@animaleye5794]

I just cracked when he was so happy and proud of their appartment. Such an inspiration. You go boy and change the world!

[@anthonyriche552]

What a great piece. It's difficult to truly understand homelessness unless you've been there but I admire these children's positivity and their mother's perseverance.

[@frederickmckinney1045]

god bless yall man im going thru that right now

[@ryanlee7126]

but you got a phone?

[@solidsnake2329]

JiggerJunkies 361 😂😂 Lord

[@keraatkins7833]

JiggerJunkies 361 a phone can double as a computer. and these days with everything from shopping to applying for a job is done online. why wouldn't the homeless have a phone?

[@gibsoncallaway9922]

I feel you

[@jamesvzfighter]

keep pushing through it. You might be a day away from making a better life.

[@lukewainscott7530]

I just feel so bad and I wish I could do something.but I'm just a kid.

[@natnael13]

Mr. Buckets same here

[@camerongiffin9134]

Mr. Buckets pray for em man

[@erickiyoshiphillips2323]

Cameron Giffin praying won't help God is fake. it's all a myth. it's all bout that action. do something to help and that will change the motion of the world.

[@naiveassassin7712]

Eric Phillips you can say whatever you like, but do you have any proof God is fake? I don't think so. Everyone has a belief and no one should be judging and saying "oh God isn't real blah blah..."

[@TheDeadPunch]

Eric Phillips: Prayer isn't always about others, it's about helping yourself. When you hit rock bottom, have nothing , feel like nobody, feel trapped by your situation; then prayer can help you find a way to see things better and give you the energy to survive. Prayer is a self-healing mechanism, not a magical cure-all. If you don't believe, that's fine; but for people in their toughest times, it may be the only way to find a path thru their day. Why try to take that away from someone?

[@dambisares9785]

i can feel the pain in the mother's voice, man. Makes me realize how much i take for granted everything im given. This is heart breaking :(

[@ronblack9181]

Wow!!!! very heart breaking. boy this brought back some memories.

[@raylynch7412]

it is a struggle... keep praying & stay focused!!!! please stay focused!

[@justusalexander6821]

This is so humbling

[@theadmiral460]

I hope all these people go pro..they deserve it

[@MVPmailman]

It's insane how much these kids have been through and how they are still able to stay positive and humble through out

[@user-ep4jo1ev3j]

I'm so ungrateful.seriously need to revaluate a lot of things

[@5winder]

+Victoria Godwin Jesus will forgive you.

[@6ixgodzay900]

Amen.

[@axmed2169]

God bless all of them 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@jamesvzfighter]

These students and teenagers are strong. It takes mental strength to go through these things and come up in life. They have alot of will to keep going no matter what happens.

[@flaming3652]

I wish them all success especially the young lady. She got a full plate ahead of her trying to raise a kid with no help, play ball, and go to school.

[@rerehester3477]

[@aleesha903]

God has really blessed this family .One thing you have to remember during these times is there is always something 10x worst than what you are going through. So just think this could be worse after that you will get more and more positive and life will lighten up. But you have to always give glory to GOD

[@lindamayo9691]

This is such a sad story! But a story of strength and endurance, commitment and love. I work with this young man's mom and never knew that the family was going through this rough time. Since this went public it broke my heart to know the struggles the three of them go through. So proud of the parents for keeping it together and showing their son what strength , love and God can do for you. All of you need not be ashamed of anything. Be PROUD of yourselves, hold your head high and keep your faith. Faith and family can cure all! Can't wait to see you continue your journey to the NBA. Prayers to all of you. Thank you Sports Illustrated for doing this story.

[@prodbyjefff]

this made me appreciate what I have

[@barringtonmorris90]

4:29 broke my spirit....damn mama. Keep strong. Cole world, no blanket!

[@j71680]

This makes you be grateful for what you have there's always someone who has it worse than you

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 They will be in my prayers.

[@ac-zh6fi]

God bless all of these people. 🙏🏽😔

[@josephflamm2262]

I lived in Cockeyville, Md., Delaney High Schools District. This is the school Isiah Lamb attended for however long. Little did I know the learning disabled sister and I would eventually be also homeless. Although we lived in a shelter, much better than what Isiah dealt with, it was truly harrowing. God bless all of them. Greater days are ahead. We are doing much better. Stay positive!

[@AbbaZabbaOlyFrn]

these truly are great kids. All the best wishes for thier future endeavors

[@adrianbarraza7876]

i lived in a car with my mom and i'm fortunate enough my uncle took me in but my mom still lives in a wal mart parking lot. i know that struggle and it truly sucks. i got good grades and received a football scholarship now i'll be leaving off to college in august. im thankful for my coaches, school administration, teachers, brothers & sisters, and my mom.

[@LemonLimeLemon]

It's great to hear that you got that scholarship. Good luck in the future and hopefully you can support your mom and yourself.

[@newbielives]

Got to stop cutting onions and watching these shows as the same time

[@dadadum7269]

We take for granted what we have. Realizing the plights and strifes that people endure , helps us realize and discern that life is meritorious, regardless of what commodities you possess. The fact that we have a space to live, a car, if that fortunate, and a supporting household, you are indeed lucky and should be grateful for what you have. Some, if not most, of us can't fathom or fancy a life without he amenities we don't appreciate. We regard them as being obscure parts of our daily regimen, yet need to recognize that they may be something others may never have

[@MichaelCobbs]

Keep pushing forward. Hard work & determination.

[@manvirsingh3323]

I wish them best of luck God help them even if I become homeless

[@JohnMOnYouTube]

The important thing about the story is they showed their names, faces, and content of where they live, etc. They also describe their story and background.

[@dwanewalkes5422]

I have so much to be thankful for god bless all of you

[@joshp9667]

This was a good watch and open my eyes more and showed me that you don't always need money and nice things to be happy but a good family and support group will always keep you rich in heart

[@jesusjuiceboy5097]

damn man you just never know what people are going through, i need to humble myself..

[@6ixgodzay900]

God bless man. Inspirational.

[@properspelinng2455]

God Bless man

[@raf352]

Hopefully this kid makes it out I'm rooting for him. After college his coach is right he has plenty of options he could go to the d league, overseas , hey maybe he could breakout in college and get drafted into the NBA or get picked up by a team. As long as this kid makes it out and provides for his family he's good

[@nolimitkhris9598]

watching stuff like this makes me wanna play hard wen I play basketball n football

[@lm2Legit]

Isiah plays for marist in baltimore which is a d1 school hes averaging 6.5 points and 3 reb a game as a sophmore after averaging 7 as a freshman dude is out here working i hope him nothing but the best

[@prestonwood4333]

I sister is a social worker and she had a family that came to them from another state. They had a 14 year old son he was depressed about moving he just started high school and wanted to play football. I coached high school football so she reached out to me. She what I just typed is what she told me so I came to invite the kid to come with me to some of our practices I was just trying to make him feel better when I saw this kid he's a massive 14 year 6'3 185. Long story short he plays for my team now. He getting d1 looks the part that's ridiculous is the NCAA wants to make sure he didn't get any special treatment. Which is BS and this kind of things happen all the time you help a kid and a family struggling and they look at us like we have bad intentions. I didn't know this kid was going to be hell when my sister told me about him she didn't say anything about his size just that he loves football and he was having a hard time with the situation.

[@MomoJr21]

Man very inspiring video man May God continue to bless you y'all hope to see youse in the future 🙏🏼

[@opulent1]
