Homeless man tells story 

I don’t care if he is an actor.. it just hurts me so bad just to know that there are people out there that have no where to go and still finding faith, while there are people out here complaining about everything little thing..

He seems like a sweetheart. Makes me sad. Wish I had 20 acres and could build each one a tiny home and I could be ALL their Mamas :) a society is defined by the way they treat those less fortunate the poor the handicapped and disabled and children and we are doing a really crappy job in our own country and are sending millions and Aid to other countries when we have people that need desperately need help here, it's sickening to my heart and hurts me to my soul. Just took in a friend of mine and I'm going to help her until she's able to get on her own two feet and if that day never comes that's fine too because I love her.

That made me cry so bad. I loved his story and I wish I wish that I could just give him 1 million dollars so he can buy a house and have a happy life like the rest of us.

this made me cry. I've been so close to being homeless, but I was fortunate to have someone who cared enough to take me in and I had the odacity to say I hate them. my mom lives in her own and I can't live with her anymore because it would cost too much for her. The quote at the end reminds me of her.

You’ll get a better life if not here.. then in gods kingdom👏🏾 Keep ya had high

He's acting? A good actor! I was feeling so sorry for him!! Wishing I could bring him to my house to get warm, a nice hot meal, a shower, etc!! He had me going!!

He deserves an Academy award and an Oscar.

Tears came from my eyes and I don't understand how some people don't care. All of us need each other. Theres not one person that all of this. So even if u have a job nice home, cars, you didn't get it by yourself. Damn this really hurts. Bless everyone of you that has a heart.

The world does not spin without you Brandon! I know it's been 7 years but I hope you're OK somewhere..

"....I'm down, but I'm NOT out." (This precious brother.....)

I've been working with homeless many many years and most feel this way! They are the sick, the veterans, the displaced. They are much more and kinder and stronger than most. This is a real issue. No matter who portrays it.

Fake or not this was very moving. Have a heart.

People that look down on the homeless prey that God have mercy on you. Never know what tomorrow may bring you be kind to everyone!

You can hear his pain when he talking. 😔 I wish I had all the money on the world to save these people hoping for a better life. 😔 May god blessed these people with a better life 🙏

This man has a gentle soul and his homelessness has made him slightly alien in his behaviour. When you don't have conversations with other people for a long time and you dwell in your own thoughts and feelings in difficult conditions, cold, hungry, insecure about your next meal, that's changing a human being into an animalistic state. It's visible in this young man, he's like a wild creature shunning from his fellow human beings who may hurt and shun him like as if he's a danger to them. He shows pure survival mode and this is so confrontational to those living in comfort and security, that they avoid connecting with him. He deserves being taken in by a community or commune and offered a chance to grow food, plant shit.

This young man needs help and crying for help, My heart breaks when I see a human beings going thru that much pain.

He might not be the orginal man who said this, but he makes you care and it takes this to make you feel for the homeless. You don't need to become homeless to feel for the homeless, you just need to have a heart, some compassion for your fellow man/woman/child!!! You can think of it this way too...Karma is a real BITCH and you might be homeless someday and no one will lend you a helping hand.

This made my heart ache...God bless this brother.People don't care about the next guy anymore but it's only a matter of time when most of us will suffer, in one way or another.

This is an amazing story. I do believe this is authentic and thank you for sharing the traumatic experiences of those suffer from housing displacement.

I SEE AND HEAR BRILLIANCE IN THIS BROTHER----WE SHOULD ALL FEEL A SINCE OF HEARTBREAK AND SHAME-----I LOVE YOU MY DEEP POIGNANT--HELP IS ON THE WAY !

Wow... I am so blessed to have a bed to sleep in, a house to live in and food to eat. I feel so sorry for him and all the other in his situasion. I wish I could help everyone. I cry for him and think of all the people who use 50 000 for a dress they use one time. It could feed so many. It is our duty to share and help each other.

OMG! Tears were forming in my eyes as I watched this actor portray a homeless man. It's a disgrace that although he is just acting, there are people like this out on the streets. My heart goes out to them.

It brought TEARS flowing down. I'v been homeless myself before. I HAD to leave my abusive home at Only 16 years old, ( If I hadn't , suicide was an option). No phone, no address, It's difficult to get a job. I had a chance if I could talk with the manager face to face rather than just filling out the application and Not get to meet the manager. And nowadays, in order to apply for a job, you have to have internet access. Makes it nearly IMPOSSIBLE to meet with a manager, IMPOSSIBLE to get a job. COMPASSION is the way to our future... LUCKILY a compassionate person let me use Their address and answering machine and let me take showers to get my house cleaning business started. I made enough money to rent a room and support myself. That was back in the 1970s and 80s . We All have something to give IF given a CHANCE. PEACE AND MERCY TO ALL BEINGS!

This man speaks with his heart he is there living in peace that he found. Amen god is really real

Very touching.. Great job young man. WHATEVER it takes to portray the plight of the homeless. IF YOU CAN HELP A HOMELESS, DO IT,, If there is a God he must be watching.. If you're are NOT somebody's hero . . you're wasting your time on this planet..

Wtf, I was starting to tear up only to find out he is an actor, a damn good actor.

Thank you for putting this video. Hearing a homeless guy sharing his feelings and life experiences is really a wake up call.

Damn I love how he is grateful and humble

He Is A Human Being & Should Be Treated With The Same Respect As The Working Class. I feel The Pain In His Heart And See The Hurt In His Eyes, As He Tries To Explain How He Became 'Homeless! He Is Only Asking For A Little Assistance, Until He Gets Employment And Off Those Mean Streets. But For The "Grace Of God!" I Could Have Been The One Standing On The Streets With My Cup Out Begging for Money, Or, 'EVEN YOU!' So, My Prayer To Everyone That Is Reading This Message, To Say A Little 'Prayer For This Man & The Millions That Find Themselves Homeless, "GOD WILL MAKE A WAY, OUT OF NO WAY, JUST HANG IN THERE!!!

If this guy is an actor he is one hell of a dedicated actor. He even had his teeth pulled out so that he would be toothless and could get into character. What a guy I'd give him a buck.

That is heartbreaking. God loves him just the way he is but has a plan for him. I pray God will intervene and change him, draw him to Jesus.

When I was homeless I placed two layers of tarp over a picnic table, a blanket in between, took that and hid it away where cops wouldn't see, mats beneath. Whatever makes it more comfortable and adds to durability and protection. Knock out the stubs on the underside to make space. It will be just enough to fit and sleep. Get blankets where you can and continue to add what you ate able. Then, get a government phone and EBT card, use the local food banks as needed. Aluminum cans can be used to make small fire pits for cooking, but not raw meats. Only precooked items. Get these things in place and fight back. Saw me through years in the elements, and I made it. My advice. Namasté.

Thee most compelling Video on Homelessness I've ever seen in my life! I hope God speeds his total blessing on this young man!

You know it's hard to find homeless people that still have hope and faith. Life on your own is hard and sometimes people are moving too fast to consider a situation someone else is in at that moment. And some people are hurtful and feel as though you are less than a human because of your social, mental or physical composition. But I am ecstatic that not only does this man have faith, but he has diligence and enough dignity and courage to say what he feels through a lens that he possibly hoped with reach millions. This brings me hope and prayer to know that there are people in the world that are down on there luck, but they won't give up.

Actor or not, he’s telling the story of so many( homeless) that can’t or won’t tell their story. Kindness and compassion goes a long way, a human being is a human being. If this doesn’t touch in one way or another then I guess you shouldn’t be watching it, because we are all God’s children and it doesn’t hurt to help a fellow American if you can, that just may be were your next blessing is waiting.

Homeless or not, he is one beautiful human being.

My heart breaks for this man...may God help him through the crisis he is facing😢🙏❤️

We could all learn a lesson in humility and show love towards everyone on gods earth!!!! I feel your pain brother. Love and light being sent to you!!!

i feel sorry for all the homles,God said to love thay neighbor as you love your self.We all are neighbors no matter where we live,we need to take care of each other.GOD bless everyone,and please help if you see a person in need.AMEN

It is an actor portraying a real person who u can find online and everything that is said in this video was experienced by the real man. This is a polished made for RU-vid production. Truth

I'm sorry! I lived in NY I was almost homeless. I sold all my stuff and moved down south. You have to get up and keep moving. What people dont understand is most people who are homeless have mental health issues or substance abuse issues. Instead of looking down on these people. Why doesn't our community help to put these people's lives back together! Ive heard people say look at them trash in the street. We are so quick to judge one another until we ourselves go through it. Actor or not we are all humans. Sometimes we just need that little push to understand it's gonna be ok, you have the strength to keep going and to do better for yourself!

I've BEEN there before and back. It's rough and you just wanna be human and treated as such. That's why i NEVER turn a person away and i always ask if ppl are ok or doing well. You never know, you might make a day or ignite someone's drive for life again. Be kind and help whenever you can like you'd wish someone would for you and yours.

I've been watching so many homeless people.. I dont know why im watching it because it makes me cry. No one should ever call someone a bum thats just rude. Whats happened to humanity love thy neighbor like you love yourself. Where I live in Australia there's really no homeless people. But I have helped out standing in the check out. This woman had all this change with her daughter. They couldn't afford bananas so I hand a $50 note to the lady the the check out lady handed it to me. I said no give her the change back. I've done other nice things but im no one special I just want to help. There is nothing wrong then helping someone. God is watching an he knows your heart. Even if you can help one person its makes you feel good by helping. I pray for the homeless an the Government you have a lot to answer for..

It hurts inside. Think for a moment yourself. Without an ID, address, phone or references and change of clothes no one will hire you. We can each be reduced to this state by a series of unfortunate events. It gives us an opportunity to be a blessing in the universe. So many people have fallen thru the cracks of humanity.

I pick up a guy at a truck stop in Franklin Tenn. he road with me to Tuscaloosa where I had to get off of the interstate, He said he was an alcoholic and I ask him how did he make a living, he told me with a cardboard sign, he also told me if he made twenty dollars a day, that he could make it off of that, ciggs and beer is all he needed, he has family in Alabama, he was headed for Austin Tx. The wouldn't sell him beer nor ciggs in Tenn. so I stop and got him a couple of 24oz and he was good. I feel most of the people on the streets have family that are tired of tolerating their addiction, and can't find anyone that will. It's sad I know, they have a problem and don't want to give it up no matter if they lose family or not. There are many kinds of addictions, we could all be there with just one wrong turn. I feel things are getting more and more sinister with each passing day. Y'all research the flat earth if you really want a wake up call. The time is at hand !!!

I don't know if he's an actor or not. But his story is very real. For all of those who say he's too clean, I was homeless 2 years ago and managed to stay clean. Many people at the Emergency Cold Shelter where I stayed, thought I worked there. Some even said, I didn't belong there. Yet, I was homeless by circumstances beyond my control. I will give any homeless person my change without being asked. I talk to them. Each one has a story and all are not druggies/alcoholics. People do treat you differently. The truth is most people live paycheck to paycheck, and could be homeless at any time. I wouldn't wish it for my worst enemy.

Well done! Amazing acting skills! Great script......I was moved to tears.

Homelessness can put in the state he is in, especially when you once had a life, I been there. My heart goes out to him. But the best part of my life, had a life and i'm now safe.

regardless if this is an actor, the words are real, these people do feel this way, they do deserve compassion

Shame on us as "human" beings. Thank you Almighty God for giving me my daily bread.

Apparently that guy has a great understanding of how callousness makes you feel when you are in the lurch on the street, so as to portray it so well. When I realized he was acting, I kept watching cuz a ignorant jerk would not be able to pull that off.

I'm Homeless my self and is not easy but thanks to Jesus Christ at least I'm not alone

My son passed away - Mental Illness, substance abuse, etc.couldnt do nothing for him. Finally passed away homeless.At Peace

Just be kind to people. Dont judge. People are often not the way they appear. Be kind.

That made me cry. Every bum deserves a home

I take the time to talk to homeless, give money and give food. I'm pretty certain this man is an actor but it doesn't reduce or eliminate the issue of homeless starving on our streets in one of the RICHEST countries in the world. We import people and let our citizens go hungry or die. Humanity has completely lost it's purpose. Love and help our fellow man. Each other.

This gave me flashbacks of being cold homeless and alone.

Sometimes things happens to us and end up in streets cos there are no choice but to live in streets for freedom.. don't judge God bless u hun!♥️

i could tell he was acting but that tear drop was real

This could happen to anyone. We need to give a hand up to help. Lord God be with this man and all homeless....

I feel sorry for him I am about to be homeless and I am scared but I know God is with me

Yes, I saw the original homeless gentleman on which this is based. The acting... well... but it has a kind of raw poetry. I want all big corporations to leave a percent to help the homeless rebuild their lives and let's change the world.

When someone asks me for change I cannot say no because the one time I needed help and i was desperate and someone helped me, i told him that I will mail him back the money and he told me , pay me back by helping someone else and I said ok ,that is why I can not say no to anyone regardless of whatever. I even look for people to help, even if its just a few dollars because I know that it will come back to me, God is Good, thank you Jesus , Amen.

For the ppl saying he’s an actor cause he looks clean he can always go into stores bathrooms and clean up best as he can chill out if u don’t know shut it up he’s real he almost cried a few times

I felt your pain,I'm sorry people are mean to you...no one's perfect,nobody life is perfect,we all have problem .I hope you find your way out of your situation and get a phone government programs and a place to live and get the help you need....no one should have to be out there...ty for sharing.you made me cry and I'm a hard chick.😇🌹🍁🦋💙♥️💜💜❤️🌹🍁😇🦋

He seems like such a good man. This society is the problem not the people they make the cost of living unthinkable it's ridiculous .I think he's a good person I wish I could help Lord help him and everyone in Jesus name I pray and amen

I feel for this brother. My heart hurts. God bless this man in the name of Jesus!

This hurt me to my heart i was homeless for 3 years but i got myself right and people dont realize some of these homeless people have serious mental issues that keep them from working or being able to function in society for some its not there choice to live this way they are the forgotten ones

It may be an acting role, but the reality of the thoughts of a homeless man are the same. They sometimes have trouble communicating it, from living street hard, or having depression or illness, but there is truth in their fears of the challenges survival each day. There is a yearning desire to be somewhere safe, to be living better, more independently and to be treated with some sort of human compassion. It is a human necessity to be needed, wanted, appreciated and have purpose and self worth. Without it the spirit and will of any person can be vulnerable and lost.

I pray for them . No one should have to go through that . Now these are the kind of people that can use projects for housing . It’s sad we buy 800.00 phones but won’t stop to buy the helpless a meal .

This Man is a victim of evil. And I am working with God to help bring an end to this utter hopelessness. I will share whatever I may have with 'People' like this. I Will take action on a Supernatural level with God who is sick and tired if it all!

God bless him. He is a human first. Who knows God can take everything away from a person in a split second and they be homeless. God bless us all:)

His story is anyone can be one pay check to be sleeping on the bench.Good actor.

He might be an actor but its a real insight into just how low ppl can get with no help these guys would give u there last pound ...... its the ones with nothing who will give u everything it could be u 2morrow humble up & help out👍🤝god bless us all

The year 2015 spring I lost everything I lost my apartment, I got evicted from my place. My car got repo, because I wasn’t making any payments I was working at a gas station but I was chasing a dream so I quite my job. I didn’t have no money or noting save up, I had no rich family members to help me.. so I end up homeless I move to someone house down south but they kick me out they place because they stole from our job. So I got fire, funny thing is the same person who fire me call me later on down the line and ask if I wanted my job back but it was way to late.. but back to the story I end up sleeping at a Grey hound station and I had to leave a lot of my clothes behind.. I smell bad like old sweat and dirt I look bad, I wasn’t eating food I ate when I can but it wasn’t the best food to eat. My clothes was dirty and I slept on Grey hound station floors.. i detox my body too I shave all my hairs off my body and head and throw away all my old dirty clothing. I had to shower for a hour to get the smell off me. Fast forward I end up getting a job at McDonald’s and a car wash and fast forward again I end up getting my real estate license and now I’m a sales broker also. I have my own place now and making good money now, I have a new car and a good career. I end up gaining 55 pounds by eating well and hitting the gym also, I have a lot of new clothing and underwear.. I shower twice a day and get haircuts every week and wear very good cologne. Went from wearing rags to wearing name brand clothing and suits to work. When people look at me you wouldn’t know I use to live on the streets. I am very grateful and thankful now And being homeless made me humble and very strong.

Actor or no actor, people are living this exact life.

I could be wrong but from his constant head movements, freezing midway through his sentences, staring off for a moment or two before refocusing on his topic leads me to think he has a severe case of either PTSD or Shell shock. And if he is an actor, then he has managed to learn his acting roll very well.

I didn't realize he was an actor. But either way - I'm guilty of thinking the things he has said. I need to continually work on being a better person. I'm glad I saw this video.

HE ISN'T AN ACTOR,THIS IS HEARTFELT,SOMEBODY GIVE THIS MAN SOME EMPLOYMENT,YEAH YOU ARE A HUMAN PERSON AND GOD DIED FOR YOU,YOU HAVE WORTH,THE WORLD IS CRUEL,EVERYWHICH WAY YOU TURN,I'M HUMBLED,-------------------ALL OF YOU ARE THREE PAYCHECKS FROM HIS SITUATION,IF YOU ARE NOT THEN-------------GIVE

If theres anyone these rich youtubers who help homeless men find a job, this should be the guy.

This really got me teary! Well done snow pix media!!! and as for Kingsley i just wanna give you a hug Mr poor man! That acting was phenomenal!

I was very touched by this beautiful mans story.

I predict a million views! this guy is a winner. And he is english!!! how?? just fantastic

On point... Hit the spot... Great acting Great concept

I am a single mother and I would help and give him a chance to make something out of this life, we all go through stuff and its all on how u bounce back

Oh now I've read the comments and heard he's an actor, then well done! Great acting....

My friend if I had the money to give you I would!! Just know when it seems it can't get worse there a blessing right around the corner. Give it to God my friend!!!

GOD bless my brothers keeper. CARRY ON IN CHRIST JESUS NAME...

I really pity this man I cant stop crying, I wish I can come there and talk to him and see how I can help him. Who knows? him. God bless you brother.

Who is this PRECIOUS MAN???? ID GIVE ANYTHING TO HUG HIM AND FEED HIM A MEAL

People who refuse to see the Homeless And Their Needs and just walk by and not help in some way, we are all GODS Children and we should (( ALWAYS )) do the right thing and look out for our fellow man.

I pray for you brother my god show Americans it’s time to help you’re own. And stop going around the world saving others. It’s good to safe the world but let’s start here at home. Love you brother. Jesus is in the way

wow the struggle is real😢

One day soon the rug will be pulled from under ourselves... It's irrelevant that if he's a actor or not this is reality and there is people out there like that...my Grandmother always said you never know who you're entertaining, sometimes the our heavenly father test us to see how are heart is, sometimes I will give my last just to see someone happy. You never know who is hungry..Some times I give my last because giving your last God sees that you are your brother's keeper so, that's something really and truly to think about because you do unto others as they do unto you and also keep in mind you reap what you sow, so it's not good to make fun of people like that always give your heart and share what you have, and your reward is so much greater, I promise you...God don't lie, he's faithful.

Wow I feel so sorry for this guy.. Your a child of the living God.. Just hang in there help is coming..

I saw a video just like this with another person a long time ago. I was at salvation army for 6 months but am in my apartment now no never homeless so happy not anywhere close.

And anyone rich reading this find this man do your job and help others in need find this man someone one day you’ll receive a golden ticket just be kind to our fellow ppl amen 🙏

Theres a message being conveyed here , for you to look within yourself and realize what kind of person you are and how you treat others less fortunate . It is not important if hes a actor or not .

Life is hard, even for working people. What we need today, with rents going so high that people can't afford them, is cheap places to live. Cities should forget their codes and regulations for a bit, and allow people to have some place where they could rent a small lot, with portable toilets, or composting toilets, and a laundry, and let them build something like sheds and live in them. Maybe they could have electricity. Maybe shower facilities, but keep things cheap. Let them build their own housing according to some design code, but nothing extreme. Almost anyone can build a shed the won't fall down. They can help each other build. One homeless man who gets some help can help another, getting him a phone and letting him sleep in his house, 'till he gets that job and saves enough to begin to build his own shed. Then he in turn can help another. It should be a requirement that to live there, to help another one. They can be self governing for the most part, to keep things quiet and free of drugs and alcohol abuse. Lots of people could begin a better life, but it will take government help, not so much in tax payer money, but in deregulation, which shouldn't cost them anything.

I hope that somewhere in Time that people realize that they are GOD'S children too. They are asking for a hand up more then a hand out. May GOD bless them slways.
