Timmy and Lorraine go to church with my wife myself and our two sons where my brother preaches at. My youngest son was just born on October 2nd, 2022.. just two weeks ago. Timmy and Lorraine bought the baby a 4 pack wash cloth set, a pack of receiving blankets, and a 10 piece baby kit that has basically all the necessities a baby needs. Nail clippers, hair brush, rubber ducky, bottles, bottle brush, I could go on about what all they bought for him. My point is, these are very kind people who understand more things than what people think they do. We care alot about them and I just want to publicly say thank you to Timmy and Lorraine and the family for the gifts they bought is. Very sweet people, misunderstood but very great people who are very happy.

Something really stands out from the first video to now. They each have a spark in their eye they didn't have in the first video. They each have a smile now. I can't help but believe it is due to your friendship and kindness/generosity and of course those who donate to them has helped immensely as well. I think having a friend that randomly shows up as you do, gives them something to look forward to. Never knowing what sweet suprise you'll have or do next is so wonderful for them and from what I can tell they don't ever even expect anything. Putting food in their fridge and freezer has to have had a huge impact on their happiness/energy. Getting them out for a shopping trip, the doc for Ray. Mark you and your supporters have done so much for them, you are an incredible person ❤

Even the dogs are excited and happy bcuz they are constantly barking. Their brother is visiting them and seemed more involved. Ray is so happy with his coffee ☕.

I think a trailer was built for Kenny right next door, so something at least to that degree. It’s pretty nice, considering.

I think a lot of us started watching this out of sheer morbid curiosity, and I wasn't sure how I felt about Mark documenting all of this to begin with. But wow, having watched a few of these videos now you can really see how happy there are to have a familiar face over! The dogs look so well looked after (look at those waggy tails!) and you can tell how much they love eachother as a family, even in very few words. Ray is literally a ray of sunshine too - you can tell he understands just about everything and I actually feel like his social skills have improved since you guys came into their life! What started as morbid curiosity has turned into something that's actually very feel-good. These people can't help the cards they were dealt with in life, but seeing how they are with eachother is honestly so wholesome. I've seen 'normal' familes that have it all, that aren't anywhere near as happy and close as the Whittakers are. Also love how Timmy is always doing word searches and doing educational activities that he obviously enjoys. I think we can tall take something away from how the Whittakers live their lives. Absolutely love these guys and I hope for nothing but the best for them xxx

I was actually thinking the same thing. Although one thing that kept coming to my mind was how they spent the money donated to them. Far too often today you hear of people (who have money donated for one reason or another) blowing through the money and squandering it on the dumbest things that dont help their situation at all. It's nice to see that the Whitakers spent the money on quality of life items that will help them for years to come.

Whoever says money can't buy happiness has never been poor. The better this family's quality of life gets the happier they look, the more verbal they are, the cleaner their house is becoming, etc. despite their disabilities. This is a prime example of how poverty is a disease in itself. A little money, a little community, a little caring goes a long way in how people function. Each one of these people is doing better since the first video. Now they have hope and a sense of pride.

I know. As someone who lives in abject poverty, if I could make it to the poverty line it would change my life. As it is, I live at a 1/4 of what the poverty line is. Money can buy happiness. When you’re forever worrying about choosing between food and rent or your medication, life has very little to offer. Even the luxury of going out for a fancy hot chocolate is out of reach. There’s no treats, no new clothes; you know the humiliation of having to wear secondhand underwear? You should try it and see what it does to your spirit. I was told that I was lucky that I could get someone’s second hand underwear and bras. Fuck. You. That right there stole whatever humanity I had left. I knew that I was seen as nothing. The utter humiliation.

These folks are decedents of the Scott's Irish who moved from Ulster to America in the late 17th. Century. I am Irish Scottish ie. My great grandfather and all before him were borne in Ireland, but my grandfather was born in Scotland as was. The customs o the Appellations people are not far removed to what mine are today.

Getting to know these people has been wonderful. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to do so. I just wanted to bring attention to the loyalty and bond they have with each other. It’s very often that I see “normal” families put family members like Ray, or Lorraine in a home or facility but not these beautiful people… I’m sure Betty would never even think of doing that . And I don’t want to hear anyone tell me that he could be somewhere in a home that was clean with more space he would be far from happy, he would be lonely and slowly deteriorate much like most of them do 😢

They live a life most of of us will never understand. I started out the series by being shocked and saddened. Each episode has been eye opening. Each episode I feel more and more of a bond with them. They live in kindness, peace and contentment. There are no cell phones, social media or outside noise. There aren't many of us in this world that will get to experience this simplicity. There are moments my heart aches for them but I think that is the last thing they would want. Thank you Whittakers for sharing your life with the world and thank you Mark for this amazing, raw footage.

I’ve never seen her talk as much before, and Ray was patting the chair for you to sit down beside him, he really likes you Mark. The care and attention you give them is probably all they get. You talked about another house that they might buy, is that something in the works for the future? Miss Betty she’s a sweetie she takes care of all of them so we pray that she stays healthy .

Including myself, I've seen so many comments with people offering a hand in some sort of fashion, and not just on this channel but other situations & channels also. But for whatever reason the people don't seem to really reach out. Mabey it's because they don't take it serious when others are being genuine and are really willing to extend a helping hand, or they don't WANT the help. And I don't think that they really don't want the help. I'm saying this because you seem sincere & honest about what you're saying & although it's VERY admirable what Mark & his team does, he should definitely take you up on your offer to help in between the times when he's unavailable or not able to see about them. I know " moma Whitacker" has been doing the best she can do for all these years and has done a decent job in keeping them together, but she's getting older too. And she's not gonna be able to keep things going by herself for too much longer. So there needs to be someone that can see about them at least a few times a month just to make sure their house is kept up, they have plenty of food & that their health is being seen about. So again, I hope he looks into speaking with you or SOMEBODY about somewhat overseeing this family. Bless you mamas😚😚😚
