Homeless Woman-Evelyn (follow up) 

She was such a sweet woman, I could listen to her for hours ❤ You are truly amazing mark!!

So sad

Evelyn 💜

May she be free and happy 🙏💟🙌

Oh no she was such a sweet soul

🤣

Omg...I’m the same way, it’s ridiculous! lol

Same....or lord forbid I have to leave my cocoon for any reason....in this heat lately I can't make it past a few minutes and they live this day in, day out 💔

Girllllll me 2!!!!! This is just soooo sad😪

We definitely don't realize that we need to do better😅 and how fortunate we are🦑🦑

But she ended up in front of the taco shack..

Cane Corso she said that right as I read this lmao

Agree 100 percent. Great RU-vid channel

A HUMAN BEING, needs to give consent. They need to fully understand what the ramifications of their rights are. Most on this chanel wave those rights, but for Evelyn, this did not happen.

@@kimberleyjane2338 I'm not sure if you're implying that she's being taken advantage of, but if that's the case... you're just trolling. Mark treats her better than most humans do.

Vickie i am praying with you . we are standing on GOD word together. Asking. The Father in heaven through his son JESUS please send a army of your angel,s out. there to help all theses poor people for a small house and. metal and physical help they all need so badly.AMEN .

I get upset so i take a break and pray for them . GOD HELP US ALL.

I hear that too. Especially the first video.

❤️🙏🏼😔

@@maryhodgson8604 I posted a similar thing. In England she would be in a residential home for elderly people or people with dementia or some such establishment paid for by the NHS, whether she has any money or not. People do knock the NHS but it is a great thing for people who have no health insurance. People also think that the NHS in the UK is the only option, it is not, you can always go to private hospitals as an option, paid for on a health plan just like America. The NHS is a great thing it will help anyone who walks through the doors, you even get people from the US coming here on holiday and just so hapen to be pregnant at the time and have a child, (coincidence? I don't think so) and they don't even get a bill. The NHS will help everyone and anyone.

Yes! Someone needs to create songs from her words.

That's the point, she shouldn't be out there and won't last much longer.

At 2:42 I was wondering the same thing.

Is there anything in that pipe?? Koo, koo fur sure but it's her hair not a wig,and it whoa!!!she goes around the corner w crude stuff,made me stay and listen longer

I guess it's like ignorance. It's bliss....👍

@@jospeaches8533 crack

I think that it's a mix of dementia and drugs

Had me shook

That's exactly what got me.

@@gabrielledennis549 yes seems dementia and definitely the crack has her way out there. She is definitely sweet and reminds me of my mother in her final days after a long illness under heavy medications as a hospice patient. It's the things she says out of left field and the songs. What a sweetheart definitely. ❤️

I couldn't stop watching. Couldn't stop listening. Couldn't stop going where she sent me.

That dream would be a real trip

Right

Someone needs to animate this dream.

Come to think of it, ive had dreams like this before no shit

I Love her ❤💯

Doug Alexander Poetry my butt. More like schizophrenia.

Sure, if romanticizing drug-induced psychosis is your bag, write this shit down. 🙄

Oh, my, gosh, absolutely!

@@LadyAngela678 No...she never came across extremely paranoid... ever mentioned somebody is out to kill her, etc.

And it goes by Evelyn

So true.

“We’re all mad here.”

But in a good way :)

What a poignant comment. ❤️

Wow! ❤

Well said.

I also believe she has snapped to some form of trauma and she is hiding behind her auto pilot word salad and all .

I saw a penny laying on the ground and I knew it was emergency equipment. Pure poetry comes out her mouth.

Brilliant observation, you must be in the field

@@kryptonite9804 Am a social worker/psychotherapist in Canada

I've watched her 4 videos, and being in NYC, she's surprising called out different landmarks here all in the same part of town. She knows something....

@@SocialJusticeDestroyerher obituary said she lived in NYC for a time and wrote screenplays and acted.

@@30somethingg Thank you for tagging me, I didn't know she had passed. Only 58, wow. She's been one of my favorites from this channel.

😂😂

Exactly

I love her, lol.

U must be brilliant to follow her down to a T.

The black men ate my baby and I said boy thats an odd name for chocolate.

She actually was an actress and she wrote plays. She passed away in march. See pinned comment from Mark. Follow the link and you can read about Evelyn.

The Matriarchy really?! She was an actress?

@@brookemckinley5709 "After high school, Evy traveled to New York a few times. She loved the activeness of the city and she also loved theatre. She was fortunate to have friends who let her stay with them. She wrote screen plays and attended college in Manhattan for a time. She also attended Columbia Basin College where she acted in plays and was a very talented actress...Sadly, Evy was diagnosed with schizophrenia which made it difficult for her to realize her dreams and eventually made everyday life challenging. She was restless and moved often, sometimes staying with family or friends and other times venturing out on her own. Evy eventually moved to San Francisco." - from her obituary

cheesecake1monster thank u so much for sharing that with me. A sad, yet beautiful story. Atleast she’s no longer trapped in her own mind and finally at peace! I wish our healthcare system was better 😒

Absolutely fascinating

Nina Vorobeva - yes, exactly. I agree

Disorganized schizophrenia yes

Disorganized schizophrenia yes

No one asked for a diagnosis. She is FIRST a human being!

Her first one is cute too ❤

This is the first one I didn't feel sad or miserable at the end.

Absolutely

Mine too!!

We must invest in our people so we can have the best return for our country.

Yes, completely gone. She should be getting assistance in a special residential centre. Somewhere with gardens, and she gets her meals and meds. She has to be minded, I think she has alzheimer's.

@@finolaomurchu8217 Doubt that she'd get to smoke her crack tho...poor woman

I guess where she lives, it's the best place to be. Off in some great journey.

@@finolaomurchu8217 God bless all of you for clearly not being exposed to crack heads ever. This is Many crack addicts young and old. It's not alzheimers. You must also take into consideration that they don't sleep for days and days on too of chronic crack use. She is probably the most sane person you know sober

She’s a genius she will be missed she’s in a better placee she’s entertaining the angels

😂😂

Freeze put down the granola bar

ryan sean haha what does that mean

Lol!!

Lol right !? That was so funny.

Lol

Yep, sad, but funny at the same time.

So weird, I read this comment exactly when she said it.

Me too Evelyn

@@StefanieC11 me too!!! That’s weird af!!!

😂😂😂😂 I felt bad for laughing, but I couldn’t help it

It's a catchy tune! Can't get it out my head!...agaaaaaaaaaainnnn!...

McArthur Park is Melting.....

Cilla C Donna summer RIP. I was just listening to I feel love the other💃🏽 🙈

Dee Dowler isnt she wonderful , i loved her singing that .

Wow I didn't know that was an actual song

Completely agree! I'd watch that !

Honestly- I was visualizing a movie while she was talking - it’s amazing and yet so sad.

I dont know about all of it haha.

That would be awesome!!

I like how you think lol

My thoughts exactly ❤

Geo Pro I agree, she is educated.

Singing and dancing can be preserved in folks who have dementia (or other types of type brain damage/deterioration). ‘Left brain is language’, ‘right brain is rhythm’ (incl music and dance/ movement).

@Slowly's Models I'm so glad u said that. Unfortunately I've probably been one of those people that have just kept on walking when I would hear a woman like this just rambling on not even giving her the time of day which is sad & I am definitely not proud of it but thank God for people like Mark. He gives these poor people who basically feel invisible & forgotten about in life & u sit down with them & give them a chance to tell their story. And Mark just let's them get it all out with no judgment. If only their were more people like him in this effed up world. I hope u know Mark, if u ever read this what a wonderful person u are & what a wonderful thing u are doing not only for these people u are interviewing but u are educating so many people including myself who are subscribers of your channel. I always knew there were & are homeless people in this world & people on drugs but your channel really opened my eyes to how bad things really are. I would always look at these horrible things happening in other countries & say to myself how can this happen? How can the government let these poor people live like this. This is horrible, so sad & disturbingly disgusting. But the most disturbing part is that this is going on RIGHT HERE IN OUR COUNTRY! This is heartbreaking. I absolutely love ur work Mark & I thank u from the bottom of my heart for helping these people, giving them a voice & also for giving them money for the interview which I'm sure helps them alot even though some will say there just going to spend it on more drugs or alcohol but u know what... its one less car they will have to get into to make that $ to get that fix & u never know that could of been the last car they would ever get into & never come out of. U never know! & I'm sure u do alot of other amazing things for them that u choose not to share & I just want to let u know u have so many people around the world who love & respect what u do & I really hope u know what a godsend u really are. Thank u Mark💜

By the way I'm sorry I wrote like a whole book basically lol, I just get very passionate sometimes & @Slowly's Models, I'm sorry I didn't mean to take anything away from your comment. It just stood out to me & I agree with u 💯!! 👍 thanks!

It's normal human reaction to avoid abnormal behavior, it's a biological caution and self preservation. I had a friend that tried to help someone on the street that had passed out, he was talking to the guy, got him somewhat lucid, offered help and lent him a help a hand up. The guy got up and hit my friend. It wasn't much of a punch. A cop was driving by, stopped and intervened. The cop was cool all around, called a social services team who took over. The cop told my friend that its dangerous to intervene on a personal level. I know it sounds harsh, but this level of homelessness, drug use and mental distress is beyond the scope of the average person providing aid. Sad and complex all around. Take care.

She melted my heart with her song.Poor Evelyn this is so sad

@@deannabee2496 💖💖💖

lol

I cracked up when she said that!

I wish I could upvote this more than once

That would be lit🔥

Dose mark have a stuttering issue????

Did you watch her first interview? She is just a brilliant mind.

Bis vincit qui se vincit I did. Her thoughts are definitely fragmented but she describes thinks like a writer

@@letaharrison3778 Yes, i agree. I find her very intriguing.

Completely!

Beth Bee whoa where did that come from

Seinfeld and diving to get tv creep creep opening tlc

I couldn’t believe she sang that song. She sang it well, better than me!

She sang rnb songs on her last interview. I think they remind her of a happy time.

Loved that part

I laughed at that part too lol

Yes this was too short.

I loved this the word imagery was on point.

I know right me too

Same here lol. That was an unexpected part of the interview.

Timestamp?

Perhaps you're right.

TLC

I almost fell out when she started singing that.....she is such a delight.

I noticed almost every response starts with like one.. maybe half a sentence of normal thought, then it runs completely wild.

lol

Absolutely! I feel huge compassion and empathy for all of these broken souls, but you can't help but laugh at some of the things this lovely lady says. She's like a confused, beautiful child from another universe.

Don’t feel bad for giggling. The interview was so sad that laughing made me feel a lot better. We’re decent human beings and seeing someone this effed up makes me feel awful. Laughing a little keeps me from crying for her.

The word Helter skelter came t o me and I was hit in the back of my noggin with a baseball bat when I feasted on those black guys toes

Was there any drugs in that piece of glass? I think she going to burn her fingers or air

Oh, I caught it..i was like. "Heyyyyy, ive heard that before" I couldn't remember where though, lol..so i had to Google it,haha

@Dreamboat Annie 🤟😄✌😅

Haha...oh, I caught it❤️

kodachrome

That's what makes me feel he cares for many of them.

Not necessarily. Can be just a mental illness. And a lack of a proper medical care and a treatment. Terrible.

I was trying to be as compassionate as possible and I could see she was waaaay out there but as soon as she blurted out there Dick Tracy comment I lost all composure. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 she is special, strong, a survivor.

I don’t think I’ve laughed this hard in years. She’s taken me on a roller coaster of shock and awe. ❤️ she is so interesting.

@@catchtwenty22 It took you til .Dick Tracey? She had me at s?craping the red pubs. Poor woman.

Stomp the Dragon well like I said I was trying to be compassionate and the pubes thing triggered me to think she was heavily sexually abused her whole life but then.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

Yeah tough too watch

So sad watching this!

@Alexis Kyle ya me too I'm like wtf is this??

@Alexis Kyle obviously she has some type of brain damage plus the life time of crack use doesn't help her wowwww

No way! Seriously? Or many like her is what you are referring to. I love these people. I see a homeless guy every other week and I asked him what he would like to eat. He said donuts, hamburgers. I guess I'm making him some donuts. 💫🥖🍞💝

What a discovery... now you can offer a smile or the smallest of human comforts..... ~

Buy her some chocolate chip and blueberry muffins!

Bring her some 🌮 tacos! 🙂🙏

Can't you organize a room for her?

Hopefully not that bad yet lol

@@jenniferhalf1650 but we could get there in another few month, lol now I feel bad

Nahhhhh

That's so funny!! 😂😂

Shut the fuck up

Ruthie Monroig You know, you remember that time you wouldn’t come home.

She left the cake outside the taco shop to swim with the Mexicans with her rabbit coat in bowling green Kentucky with sound waves.....on a tanker in Alaska and she’s been smoking crack since she was in Hawaii baking muffins. But the chocolate outsells the blueberries. And something else about being addicted to paper.

XANLY hahahahahaha whole thing would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad.. ur comment is super funny though

So true lol

@@tiffanyhoward9935 Yes I remember even than I would try to make sense while being high as a kite 😏✌

Absolutely not

I vote blueberry muffins

NenaLena muffins are changing all the time .

🤔Actually it was abstract poetry if you listened Long enough 😂😂😂😂

Lol. Without a doubt, I believed her too.👋

omg 💀

Yeah she is

She's awesome

"I see a man. And i told him im addicted to paper"

@@Singleshotfreddyy 😅

She’s invented being addicted to the paper

@Ches Jeter Actually she kind of does.

But, I believe she's ok with it. She doesn't seem to want but still she is in need of proper care.

Cindy Fitzgerald it probably makes sense to her.😔

You really...I feel have to read between the lines. 👩‍❤️‍👩🙌👍

@@ManifestingwithIntention I agree 100%.

What a great comment!

Im not sure it's hers.......when she scratched her head the whole thing shifted......also that's like a $60 dye job.🤨

Yes that's a wig lol

I don't think it's a wig. In the first interview her hair looks the same, but is shorter

Blue Note I’m with you. That definitely looked like her own hair. Doesn’t really matter everything about her was sad to me. Bless Her .

Wig.

She looks like an cherub.

I think it’s a wig. Watch when she scratches it early in the interview. It moves when she does that.

@@dp6970 It's not a wig. Check her first interview.

Bis vincit qui se vincit Yeah, I saw it after. You could be right. She just has a full head of hair in her older age I guess.🤷🏻‍♀️

@@dp6970 Hair grows.

Yes she really does!

Not a home, but she needs supportive housing where she can be clean and safe and where people can look out for her.

@Denzell Scott So, Denzell here's something to laugh about, pretty soon she won't even be able to speak in words that mean anything, just sounds.

@@powderandpaint14 Yes, she does. But people like Evelyn won't be able to smoke crack in the clean, safe home and will get evicted for bringing it in, anyway. Let me repeat (I say this often), it's harder to help the mentally ill, addicted homeless than you think.

Omg this is so sad.

And unfortunately not so sweet treats, I can’t help but wonder what has lead up to this point. Spoils be decent if one of her family member or friend would allow mark to interview them about Evelyn.

@@ChaoticCurlz "After high school, Evy traveled to New York a few times. She loved the activeness of the city and she also loved theatre. She was fortunate to have friends who let her stay with them.

Reading a book about daemons and it mentions Sacks work. The muse you mention goes along the lines of the daemon, I think the book is by Anthony Peake

Yesss.... yesss... everything you said... so interesting... indeed !!

Thank you Mina. Your beautiful post makes Evelyn make sense. As a person who strongly believes in the creative power of our words, I find myself speechless but my heart overflows with much gratitude to you, mark and Evelyn

yes! out of most of the people mark interviews, evelyn is the one who just needs a little love.

@Tunnisha Cunningham I agree with u 💯 !! Couldn't have said it better myself!!💞

I agree... Im sitting here genuinely worried and scared, thinking about her being out wandering around, alone, broke, nobody to take care of her, no doubt people taking advantage of her... Would she even be able to tell someone and get help if she needed too !?!? She doesnt seem like she even knows whats going on, where she is... Usually the people in these videos you can understand, even the reeeaalllly bad ones you can understand to a point, and are able to answer the questions and tell you about their life etc.. Cannot believe someone is still selling her drugs and taking her money.. Probably taking ALL her money and taking advantage of her.. She needs to be admitted to the hospital like NOW. She needs a doctor, psychiatrist, proper medication, hot shower and some clean clothes, a safe bed to sleep, and some decent meals..this is SO sad

@@rae7864 her older sister has returned her back here for a while, She needs to e with family. They picked her up few weeks ago. Yes!!

Yes😔🙏🏼

When she got hit in the noggin? Or before wtf ? 😂

Me too

she said "toes"... sure let's all go with that.

@@michaelstollairetbarceo3287 I thought that’s what she said. I can’t rewatch it to figure it out. Once was enough for me

@@michaelstollairetbarceo3287 she literally said “toes” what do YOU think she said?

God bless, Lolita.

@@bb8470 The same for you. 🙏🏼

Helping hands are better then prayer hun.

Jesus doesn't do anything, as usual. It's PEOPLE who do all the work. Stop diminishing the valiant efforts of extraordinary people who transcend their humanness to help others who need it.

Housing her in her own apt will never work. Her help must be intense and in a strict medical environment. Sadly the system will not house her because she has no insurance. She uses street drugs to maintain some sort of survival. I believe she will be in Heaven.

Amen.🙏

@@yonihales9133 I can't agree with you that prayer is unimportant but I do hope that Evelyn gets help soon.

That's not how it is at all. Others can't help you if you can't help yourself. There can be all the opportunities to change your life for the better, but if someone like her never takes the first step, then it doesn't really matter. I battled opioid addiction for 7 years. I got chance after chance whether it be rehab or probation, and I kept going back to drugs until the punishment was steep enough, and my low was low enough that I never wanted to feel that way again. Some people like this woman just don't have a rock bottom. Is hard to say people are lost souls, but sometimes it's true whether it wants to be admitted or not

Life is about choices. The world can't be responsible for other people's life choices. I don't care what the circumstances are. Help is available if you choose.

This is NOT about choice. She is no longer able to choose. And this IS how nation treats some of our most ill. We should have inpatient facilities where her medical and physical needs are provided for. Her level of autonomy should be evaluated, she iss too vulnerable to make that decision herself.

@@mariebernier3076 so you're saying she should be in a facility for the rest of her life? Or just temporarily to get her act together

@@erich1380 There are varying degrees of care, IDK what her illness is. For example, some schizophrenics are on a cycle where they take meds daily, do well with minimal psych appts, then after they feel well for a period, they think they don't need the meds, stop taking them and can end up at risk of harming themselves or others. Police get involved, take them back to an institution and the cycle starts again of getting them stabilized. Many people need more and better answers, not just more lock-ins, but more nuanced, flexible, different care. We don't have enough $$ in the system so we stay in this preventable, barbaric cycle. I merely meant that she is too vulnerable in this state to protect herself on her own, or to make appropriate decisions about her own care. If the catalyst for this is drugs and it can be improved by being clean, she would still need to have some type of supportive housing, etc. most likely. As it is, people here are saying it's worse than her last interview, so it's prob. progressing.

The day I lose my mind I’ll be singing the most assorted playlist because I’ve listened to all kinds of music

Kate Bell same

Right!!!!!😄😄😄😄omg donna summer and TLC....I'm digging her musical taste but that's about it

Exactly ❤🤣😂🤣💯

I believe she is high functioning autistic.

@@GelliSolo Technically a high functioning person on the spectrum would be a bit more coherent and able to follow strings of thoughts. High functioning means in essence 'Able to function in society and hold up appearances'. I think she suffers from extreme delirium and fragmented dementia like symptoms with a little mix of LSD and melancholy madness.

Totally agree.

Me too exactly!!! 20 minutes went to fast. Love her first interview too ❤

Have you ever heard Joe Biden?

@@declamatory lmbo 😂🤣😂

It's not a story, she's speaking as others do but her mind is no longer able to organize words into coherent thoughts. In the next stage she won't be able to make words.

Tammy Adams if she’s lived this long on the streets I’m going assume she’s can safely cross the street.

Balgees24 You’ll just be giving so many people a place indoors to get high. They don’t get high because they’re homeless, they’re homeless because they get high.

@@NennaLena That's just reducing the entire issue too much. You need to understand that these people aren't addicted or homeless because it's what they want. They're using substances in order to cope with the trauma they've acquired through their lives. For them there is NO other way to deal with the pain they feel. Please have some compassion and empathy, remember that it could happen to anyone; the ONLY reason you're not in their shoes is because you were handed a better hand of cards. If we want to emulate a system of recovery and harm reduction that actually works and has significantly better results than the US or other western countries we only need to look at the way the netherlands handled their opiate epidemic. In amsterdam they actually PROVIDE medical grade heroin to addicts and users with the caveat that they must use the substance INSIDE their monitoring facility staffed with medical professionals who can provide care if they need it. The numbers do NOT lie, a huge number of people who come to the safe injection site eventually seek treatment that is offered to them, 1 in 4 individuals completely stop their use once they start treatment and a large number of users become functional tax paying citizens who can hold down a job and afford a place to live. Remember that even if you want all addicts in prison, it's cheaper to give someone treatment indefinitley, than it is to imprison them.

@@drswaqqinscheckingin7210 Hi, i'm from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, are you from the Netherlands? We fixed the heroin problem that started in the 70s a long time ago, in the 90s. We have a very good healthcare system here. We also don't have pill pushing doctors.

@@marylougeorge9890 The US needs a different healtcare system. It does not work now. It's really sad to hear that people are seen as criminals for needing medication.

Thanks, I’ve been trying and trying to figure it out. It’s obvious she knew the song once upon a time. It’s in there somewhere. Bless her heart. Did you hear her say you can call me Al or you can call me Betty? Remember that song? The video had Chevy Chase in it, was that Paul Simon that sang that song too? I’ll have to look that up.

Yes! You heard it too! I commented before I saw your comment.

crysberries yes, I heard it!!! And every time she busts out singing part of a song I just lose it!!! I love listening to her talk anyway, she’s got a lot in that mind of hers, but when she sings - makes me 😊 I hope she gets help someday (if she wants it)

You can call me all
