UPDATE: Homeless 'piano man' gets makeover 

Reminds me of the dude in into the wild

I got in a fight with a marine before laid him flat on his ass so I guess I'm enough too

Sigh

His kid isnt permanently lost. He can find him.

Well, obviously your tough. :D

The government doesnt take care of its people. Im right there with you my friend.

If you are a Mexican or a Muslim you have far more rights to housing and proper care than a US Veteran; I know, I was homeless ffor 3 years after I lost my Mother to heart failure. No taxes or support costs for them.

There should not be a homeless man or woman

NEVER!

Llpp

facts

I agree

It's like this Pandemic, see how they ignore citizens, Americans!! How much the Congress really care, billions come and to Congress friends. While we are suffering. I hope you people see something has to be done with these politicians!!!! 😠😠😠😠

@@Flashbang83 No Veteran should ever be homeless. Not anyone. Our government needs to stop the influx of immigrants and take care of our own citizens. Especially the men and women who serve their country. This is a comment from a former veteran.

The best way to honor veterans, is to stop making new ones.

He's a veterinarian? I thought he was a soldier.

Negative, He's a Marine!

N3ssaya. Vet= Veteran, Soldier= Army Marines= Marines Sailors= Navy Airman= Airforce W'nd Warriors= National Guards Meat Shields= Reserves

Vet = Veterinarian Sarcasm = Sarcasm

N3ssaya - Homelessness = Not something to laugh at.

Terry Vincent True!

I agree: once a Marine, always a Marine! Thank YOU all for your service!!! 😘

Well said

Ooooorrrraaaaaahhhhh

Semper Fi!! Thank you!

He’s doing well, he even has his own music out

That is so awesome... giving a second chance and not passing bye ...we need more of these beautiful stories...God bless...

Me too 🙏🙏❤️

I was just wondering the same thing hope he's doing great

@@kristisci-figal4520 this makes me cry..happy for him..hope to God he stays on this path

So true

Not All Homeless Do drugs and many who Do,Never did them untill they landed on the streets I've known Homeless artists musicians singers doctors engineers PhDs contractors legal professionals designers architects name it and they are out there I give big props to Every one of them that can survive it and still maintain they're humanity and common decency through it all I've seen and known so many that just give in to it and become it the street.Then We have people like this man who not only survives it but plants a piano on it and Shines like a star. GOD Bless

God bless you and you are a hero always.

Exactly! I was homeless and stayed in a shelter with 2 kids. It wasn't because of drugs but getting out of an abusive situation. Everyone has a story

Amen!

not to the government. just like any other person who has served. just a tool to be discarded

Timothy Robitaille true

eeveeloution 42o even more true

Timothy Robitaille goddamn right!

HOO RAH !!

Taylor Wayland but if its actlually helping someone in need who tf cares?? would u rather the news put out only bad stories for attention. dont get the negativity

Isn't that what they always do?

Taylor Wayland Viewer = $$

exactly!

No shit that is how the world works

....Agree wholeheartedly. Semper Fidelis.

Aaron Blackstone thanks btw

You seem to forget that he gave up on himself and his family and turned to drugs for his problems which landed him the position of homelessness. Military service does not and should not grant you automatic and lasting respect from all and ignorance of actions considered criminal.

Kuro Kanashii everyone can make stupid decisions , but does that justify the inability of repentance ?

Kuro you have no idea what Military service entails with a comment like that. No man that serves in war comes back the same man they went in, there are always missing pieces some far greater than others. Shame on you for even going there.

Yep, America really needs to change their system of discharging their heroes

@@nicklindsey1765 what did he do for me his service in the marines is insignificant

@@MaleMotivation69 bruh, this man helped protect the liberties that people like you take for granted. Do you realize that the US military is a completely voluntary force and without people like him, you would not have the freedoms that you take for granted.

in Germany, any veteran diagnosed with deployment-related C-PTSD or PTSD is immediately returned to "theoretical" service. Although he can no longer perform his services, he will receive support in the amount of his last salary, housing, medical care and therapeutic help for the rest of his life.

Exactly

@@dawi8929 what a great, loving, and kind solution.

God be with him God bless.

Me too. He is my age. I hope that he prospers❤

..Surprisingly, the Most vets who're homless ARE in America.! Home of the free & the brave...My Ass.!!..

When they come back to their country, is when the people should scream, "SUPPORT OUR TROOPS". That is when they need it the most.

Yea, support the war criminals..

Fric Said hundreds of thousands of vets are homeless... fucked up world we live in.

Statefarm Jake Of course you arrogant fascists deny you're war criminals.. and want to KILL anyone who expresses themselves freely only saying the truth everybody on this planet knows about..

You cry? Get a Life

Steve Meyer you spend your time on RU-vid scrolling through the comments section and then hypocritically tell someone to get a life for doing something that is a completely necessary thing to do if they are to live; wow boi,, get a life

Steve Meyer Up yours, Steve!! I cry, too!! Obviously you don't understand women!!

Steve Meyer wow you really have a shit life don't you well good luck with finding someone to love you bc i don't really see it happening bye

Steve Meyer You get a life. I also cry. He is not dead. He is a great talented musician. I am so pleased for him.

Почему должны люди помогать а не власти? Помогают люди это хорошо но, почему он оказался на улице.

Unbelievable,I know the song very well,If this doesn't get to ya,nothing will,He's very talented, Sometimes we shouldn't judge a book by it's cover,As an addict in recovery,I hope he makes it.Shine on my friend,Shine on.

That blonde just wanna be in The Light and get that mooooneeeeey

I whole hearteley,agree 100 Percent,And thank you kind sir,for protecting my family as well as The United States of America, bless you and yours, Your's truly,with utmost Honer and Respect,Bert Stain, Portland Maine

That Stix song is a great melody. Great Band , many hits.

Brittany Finney your hot

Brittany Finney apparently it was filled w/ drugs if you would’ve taken time to listen to the full story

Hopefully, prayerfully the money that was donated to him, was used for him; NOT going into someone else's pocket! $ 37,000 already, he should have had teeth, better hair cut an nice clothes; NOT clothes that looks like they came from goodwill. So many money grubin leeches out there! 12-7-21🦅🇺🇸🦅 There should NEVER BE ONE HOMELESS VET EVER. BREAKS MY HEART😔🦅🦅🇺🇸🦅

Blaming America? Really? The best thing that has happened to me is coming to this country and proudly became US citizen after leaving my socialist country. People take the US fir granted. People make their own choices. Family and friends may have tried to help but he refused... it's tragic and happens in every country around the world.

I see what you are saying, thank you for putting another side to it. :)

+Daniel P not even then, success here is about who you know and how snake like you're willing to be, hard work alone won't make you rich no matter what anyone claims.

what does he mean last chance

Well, Donald Trump would probably make his fellow Donald suffer to make Disneyland Great Again.

I ran a construction company in the states years ago and I was like an Underground Railroad for absconding soldiers. They were coming home on break wanting to commit suicide saying they were killing innocent people woman and children for a lying murderous nation. That year I did everything I could to provide income and shelter for them to try help them get away. Each and every one was hunted down and I never heard from them again. I will never forget that year. Those guys didn’t care how much they were paid. They were much more concerned about what they were being paid for. I’m just sharing facts. Best of America? Most of them were hopeless kids from the trailer park near me. Just desperate for a way out. They got out alright. Way out.

AAAAMEN‼️👏🛐🙏🏼❤️🙋🏻‍♀️

Happy marine corps Birthday marine. Semper fi

Kate Wild bless you 🙏🏽

tho your Msg is 3 yrs old, GOD BLESS YOU Ms KATE WILD ( BIG HUG ) ROCK ON with YO BAD SELF ! ! THIS WORLD NEEDS MORE ROCK'N SISTERS LIKE YOU, MAY YOUR HALO NEVER LOOSE ITS BRIGHTNESS AND YOUR WINGS NEVER LOOSE A FEATHER ( = ^,,^ = )~~~~~@

@@dennisrowe394 Thanks 'karma' you do someone a good turn it comes back to you in some way, I did enjoy him playing.Stay well.

Once a Marine, always a Marine.

100% agree with everything you've said.

I agree too. it's like no one really mentioned the fact that this man fought for us, and came back. lost his fam. of course he's gonna have hard times. I pray that a t he pulls through and makes it in life. please don't give up man, u got potential.

+IDRATHERBREADINGMYDX That's the same thing I said!!!!! He has MORE than potential. I play piano and he makes me not want to touch another keyboard again!!!

They served, fought, and died for their country, yet the government repays them like this. Shame...

Very true statement. Look at how a lot of veterans get treated by the VA Hospital system. That's an absolute travesty.

What do you think an invisible, non-existent "god" can do for him?

God sent his only begotten son,whosoever believes in him will have eternal life.Jesus still delivers and whom he set's free is free indeed.

Make sure counciling is in the mix, or I'm not sure he'll make it.

You are so right Archer!!!!

💯

Relax, gifted is just another word for talented

+Scias it's like when people say someone has a "god given gift" bitch i worked hard to get this good, no god was involved

+Scias How is it insulting? Not everyone can do everything. I'm so sick of you libtards in this world claiming that anyone can do literally anything if they try. No, they can't, which is why art of all kind has gone to shit. Everyone's emotions are coddled, and disbelief in criticism is rising daily. This man is gifted. Not everyone can walk up to an instrument they've never played and start playing. Everyone has different talents, due to everyone being individuals.

Tim Ramich this guy has played the piano before you idiot and political views have nothing to do with this

+SkizzlePiano Looks like another trendy libtard. The OP's comment indicates what kind of politics they hold, and liberalism is a mental disorder. Not everyone can ever play a piano like this no matter how hard they want and try. It's a fucking gift.

+Suzy Que sure why not

+Suzy Que everyone has a story just takes time to listen

John Joe yes we do, but most people don't want to listen to someone else's, especially a homeless person's.
