😢 The guy who lied about using the money for socks. His name is Octavio. I went to Whitman Middle School with him. The dude was a good kid and very intelligent. Unfortunately, hanging around the wrong people can impact your life. 🙏🏾🥺
That boy is fighting demons and thinks the world is out to hurt him. Vic genuinely wanted to help him and he wanted to pick a fight with the messenger God sent.
I ain’t gonna lie , this the first “short” I’ve seen .. so I’m now checking out the full video .. but I respect how you handle yourself bro .. I want to do the exact same thing .. in terms of helping people out … I’ve been sober since Oct.24th.2019 … recovering from “anything in a needle” literally all the above .. I’m coming up on 4 years and I want to give back now . By helping people out. Much respect bro, Keep up the great work
Congrats on almost hitting 4 years! That's amazing. Keep on kicking ass and if helping others struggling is what you want to do, go for it and kick ass
Im 26 years old and I'm 4 years sober. What u are doing is a testament that good people still are out there and can tell others that never experienced hardships like that, we are all human
Tears is just weakness leaving the body. I was told this by a Scottish ex military man who was stationed in Berlin for a decade. He said it with some real strength.
I literally cried watching this video because I know all about addiction not because I'm an addict but because my mom and a couple other people in my family have been addicted to drugs off and on. Some have been sober for years now but my mom is still not doing good unfortunately. Hopefully one day she can go to rehab and get the help she needs when she is ready. To see how happy you made all of those people by giving them food, tents and water is truly amazing and it made me cry. You are such an inspiration and such a great person. I will never forget the time you did that random act of kindness for me! I was so grateful and that was truly an amazing experience because I've never had that happened before. Keep doing what you do! I believe in good karma . Everything you do will come back to you tenfold. Thank you for doing this for all of these people ❤
The scary thing about drugs is that they change your personality so much that there comes a point you don't even know yourself or accept yourself without drugs. Happened to someone close to me. He doesn't even know himself any more, it could be him speaking or drugs speaking, when he is off drugs he runs into mayor problems that drugs make disappear because they dull him and make him deal with things with a more positive attitude, whilst clean he gets agressive over everything, starts to hate on friends and gets bored constantly and irritated. It makes him keep returning to drugs, I am trying hard to make him reduce the doses he takes instead of increasing them until he goes for harder drugs one day. It scares me how he sometimes mistakes love and care for spite and personal attacks and gets really defensive, if you read this stay away from drugs, it is absolutely not worth it.
The gift of giving to those in need is by far one of the greatest gifts anyone can give. You’re doing something NO ONE wants to do because everyone feels like a lost cause or hopeless. But through your constant presence and efforts the ones that want help are starting to get it slowly but faster than even our own government can do it. Thank you for what you do and giving compassion and a helping hand to those who truly need it! 🙏🙏🙏
As a Boston Resident who lives and grew up in Dorchester i am so happy to see this and will be sharing it. I used to give food to others in need on Mass ave & I stop because of what i seen the truth.. Watching this gave me hope again. From a Boston resident, Thank You…
Brother this made me cry man. That encounter with the 38th yo guy was emotional. Today you inspired me man! To be more out there helping people. Especiallys since i lost work, i got time to be helping. And thats what Im gonna do. Thank yoi man, and God bless you and your efforts!
You’re doing these kind acts is just heartwarming! Unlike these big RU-vidrs with the unnecessary giveaways for views. Truly amazing man, keep it up 👍🏼
What you do is essential. Thank you for what you do. And thank you to the kind hearts in need that show gratitude by actually saying thank you when you help them
Different youtubers who kindly help the homeless and addicted bring different things to there videos …. I love that you bring 10 years sobriety …. One guy on RU-vid writes sweet notes another one brings much humour - you all are doing great 😊 you inspire me ✝️🙏✝️💚

I'm a senior citizen watching from Canada 🇨🇦. I just discovered your channel a few weeks ago Victor and immediately subscribed. I love what you do and how you do it. When I was napping today I had a very vivid dream of meeting and hanging out with 5 young people probably aged from about 10 to 14. In the dream they had drug issues and were probably homeless. I enjoyed talking with them and we all felt a real connection. I'm sure I had the dream as a result of watching your videos. It was a good reminder to always see the person first, not the addiction/behaviour. There is an increasing amount of problems in the Prairie city I live in, with homelessness and addiction (as is the case with many cities worldwide I'm sure). On the bright side, we just had a provincial election and our new Premier is an Indigenous person who rose above his checkered past, got a good education, worked hard and is now the first 'First Nations' Premier of a Canadian Province. I know that, like you, he is passionate about helping people embrace their highest potential so I'm looking forward to some progressive changes in our Province/City.
Bro, you’re such a amazing person, and willing to go back trenches to help people get out. Im literally inspired to do something in my own way, to help others level up.
You have a grest heart. Love what you do. Helping anyone whonis seriously wanting to get clean is amazing. Keep the love going and make more longer videos too.
Dorchester is my home town and I'm happy that you are there helping people out. I drive by the homeless mile by South Bay all the time and it's breaks my heart. Sometimes all people need is an opportunity.
8:05.. I feel this guy so much!! Especially when he said “I don’t have a lot of this left in me”.. I feel that deep within me!! I hope so much that these ppl Victor is helping take it serious and use this gift he is offering
Lol. Your morality of helping a person regardless of their outcome is from religion. There’s no financial benefit to trying to rehabilitate a broken person, humanity itself stems from faith. Without faith, we’d be killing and looting each other for a buck - and we are headed there soon.
@@perfectsoulmates2023 as a Christian i despise the thought of religion, because for me religion is supposed to be a relationship not religion which is what it has become to many! So just letting you know not a Christian’s are “ religious” people.
@@Doodoooa I have never met one religious person (anyone who believes in a god) who has respected my beliefs. Not one. All of them have proven to be 100% hypocrites. For example, I’m a veteran who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. So many “Christians” claim to “support” veterans yet never even supported what I do as a businessman these days. They say all kinds of false promises and praises when they don’t mean any of it. Then as soon as you disagree with one of them, they immediately say “you’re going to hell” or “I’ll pray for you”. It’s truly sickening because I treat people far more honestly and respectfully compared to any fake “Christian” I’ve ever seen. It’s all a charade, an act, of which I’m very sure many others are sick of seeing.
@@azzz..6 unfortunately yes. London has a huge homelessness population..there is some help available but it's extremely limited and truth is people on the street are left to fend for themselves. The UK is really poor in this area. If they use drugs the support just isn't there for them and unless they break free themselves it is highly unlikely they will find the required help. The UK is a mess and doesn't care about those on the street or on drugs. That's the truth
I literally love it man, born and raised from Boston. Don’t do drugs but I literally try my best out here especially for the young ones to give them game about the streets. I have friends literally on the streets homeless and trying to convince them to stop is hard work. Please keep up the great work. I’m willing to help out at anytime I can if you like help
I love this channel I’m 2.5 yrs clean life is looking up now it’s hard work it takes along time to mentally recover from addiction but it’s worth it life definitely gets better
May God continue to used u to save this people you been helping sir....praying for your safety and heavenly wisdom to continue these wonderful deeds of yours.... God bless you
I am 27 years old man and I cried when he appraciated help from you when he needed it the most. I felt that, I am a man who stands for good fcking attitude to life and do what man with heart on the right place have to do. I found this attitude when I found love in myself. Good job.
Thank you for cleaning up the East Coast I lost my mom from OD on H that had Fet in it. She would of done anything for help. Thank you! Thank you! God bless you!
Victor , I'm a new subscriber, and watching what you do is absolutely amazing. As a recovering addict ( clean and sober coming up on 5 years), I honestly appreciate everything you're doing. I pray God's blessing over you and all those you come across who need help. Keep doing what you're doing. Love you, brother. I can't find the link to buy some merchandise. If you can lead me there, I would love to get some.
Some people cannot fathom getting sober and living day to day fighting the battle. I wish this guy and anyone like him the very best life has to offer if they take it.
But the worst part is, they are already doing that. Fighting to live. Every day, not knowing where to sleep, to eat, if you'll be safe.... it's a tougher battle in my opinion. But i don't get high so i can't put myself in their position 😔
Watching these videos make me sad and happy. My girlfriend of 4 years and mother of my child was a user and she couldn’t find it in herself to want to get clean or know how to get clean. She lied every day even though I knew it. I wish she had an opportunity like this, she unfortunately passed away from it 2 months ago 😢
I pray to be in the position you’re in one day to be able to do this for the communities in my neighborhood as well. God Bless you bro, I saw one of your shorts & immediately subscribed to you. Keep doing what you’re doing!💜
It’s hard to get sober you really have to want it. A little help and support and being shown the way is all they need. Great job thank you for helping God bless you 😊
Man you may not read this but I give you mad props buddy your a great man I've said it before great to see people out there willing to help people I got almost 2 years clean off opioid especially fet mainly I want to help people like this get clean and have a better life unfortunately I'm not financially able to do so I know my story would help people cause I never thought I could do it but thanks to some people it happened in trying to start a business landscaping and construction but Lil hard right now to get equipment but love what your doing man keep it up great to see this
I met the kid that lied he was constantly in fear. He said his name was Chris but I new that wasn’t his name. He is a very intelligent kid but said something really bad had happened to him and someone very close to him and he had never got past it. I prayed with him and he was really touched but the next day he left the area and I never seen him again. I was really hoping to get him in church and on the right path. I pray he gets right one day!!!
yea his name is Octavio & was actually a close friend very smart he was On and off being homeless for a while but just a few years ago he was in his own place last time I seen him we were both 20 or 21 at the time . Is sad that this is my first time seeing or even hearing from him since then. All the way in Boston 😢 if somehow he could get him back to seattle i feel he can really change my guys still young Ik he can
i love what you’re doing for your community. i was born in the Boston area and have the majority of my family in the surrounding areas. but can we not skip over the most relatable comment in this video?…. when he says “i don’t even know where i parked”. had my DYING😂💀 too damn relatable lol
The shirt is amazing and I'm from the streets, people out there need people like you, someone who comes along with real help. Thank you for what you do. Dorchester South Carolina? Used to work there at the Taco Bell in 2009.
Give this man some likes on his videos people and help his channel grow, thats the least we can do. 27k views and not even 2k likes. Thats weak people. Love and peace to you all and thankyou Sir for all your hard work and making these videos. Blessings. ❤🙏
I just clicked on a short of the kid about the socks. This made me find the full video and man now I’m hooked! I subscribed and I really wish I could do this. I suck at seeing folks on the streets . Addicts or just the unfortunate. It really breaks my heart. Although I’ve never been on any drugs or tried it besides casual drinking at social events, I can’t imagine what some of the if not all of these folks experienced before their addiction before becoming homeless during this whole journey, and those they’ve impacted during their journey. It’s sad as can be but this is everywhere in the world. The USA is supposed to be the lane of opportunity but dang we help out other places, but we can’t even get our people off the darn streets. It really breaks my heart when I see really really old people and children/young adults. My children are 24-28 and I pray daily they keep making the right choices. And if they struggle get help before it’s too late. Thanks for helping these ppl. You’re great!
i would mess with heavy pills, lean,and drink like a sailor. i decided to sober up in 2017 and ended up relapsing in 2021. but since then came back on to the right path. im currently 21 years of age fighting for a new life and if there’s any advice i can give to any young people like me is; it’s never a bad day or life but simply bad moments! may everyone win the battles they face behind closed doors 🙏🏽 more life, more love , more prosperity& blessings come your way🖤
I’d genuinely like to work for this guy. He’d probably help me and guide me on the right track I’m just a lost soul. I even live in the area. God bless you my man. One love !
This one guy is doing more for the homeless then our whole government system. That’s sad. Great job buddy. I help homeless when I can but nothing like you do.
