Some day I will be in a position to selectively help homeless folks. And I will. It will be my mission. Can’t help all, but every tiny bit matters

Lived on streets of London in early nineties as a teen girl. Ran away from abuse and the amount of "respectable looking couples" that approached me to have a threesome was mind-blowing I was 14-15 and baby faced, now at 45 with children of my own I would never judge a book by it's cover. All the best to this man and his son.

What I like about this video is it shows positive people and organizations helping the unhoused . Bless this man! 💗

I lived on the streets for years. Clean [ drug , alcohol free ] and drinking alcohol and doing drugs. I like your video. People need to stop stereotyping people. Peace ✌️

Really big flaw in the system that if your homeless that you don’t get a job. Same here in Germany. Thank you for this beautiful video and the inside into his life! Very heartwarming ❤️ And thank you for helping to destigmatize !

This is a very fantastic opportunity to learn about what people are doing for the job seeking homeless thank you for this it is awesome !!!God Bless!!!🙏🏻

The guy with the walking sticks has some impressive pieces. I've seen Tug Boat a few times, never talked to him yet.

Very close and touching. I'm a teenager at 19 and have been facing difficulty at finding work but am so determined to always keep going and keep searching, and plan what a wonderful and productive future will hold. This man is selfless and inspirational, and I wish the system would actually give you a chance at work and allow you to get back up on/stay on your feet without being so judgmental of whether or not you're homeless or etc.

😢😢😢May the Lord help you all out there...others are praying for you . Please put God first, He's waiting for our prayers, to solve our problems. Many blessings to you all ! Thanks camera men for bringing this things to the world!

I'm from NZ and hitch hiked up and down California. I spent 3 weeks in Sanfransisco. I loved the street life there. Stay Well! J.

I have never seen so much positivity! I love it!❤️

I feel for him and the homeless I am in tears I wish I could change the world

Thank you for your support!!!

Very touching video. All the best to you my friend.

This dude has a better life than so many 9-5ers. Perspective.

Have been homeless twice and fighting like mad, to not be again. Ran into numerous here and back in California. Vast majority are not junkies or drunks. The media gets off mainly showing that. Look they are like me, just trying to survive and make it thru the day. The yuppies raised my rent last August. Is now more than my entire monthly check. So i have to do sales and fundraise every day

Great documentary man. Subscribed! :)

I was homeless in southern California for about 3 months and learned a lot from the street folks. They made good $ panhandling and used the $ for drugs and alcohol while always going to eat at The Salvation Army and The Midnight Mission etc.....People ignorantly think that giving them $ is such a good thing and I would like to see their faces if they could actually see what was done with their $ given for various reasons the homeless would come up with to get it from them.

Very good video, you did a great job, maybe this could be your next adventure.

I was homeless almost 5 years ago in Iowa due to chronic serious heart diagnosis that prevented me from working. I was working and suddenly ended up in hospital and almost died. l I moved from rural area to a city of 60,000 by Omaha to get services since there are NONE in rural areas. DONT think there are no homeless in rural areas, be cause it happens every day. I lived in a tent with a guy through the summer but ended up in the hospital because of my living situation with my health issues. I was getting medical care every week. I eventually went to a wonderful shelter in Omaha that changed my life along with great services in the city I lived. I was never an addict, no mental health problems, I dont even smoke. I just had a chronic health issue that kept me from working. I still have not been able to get disability even after 5 years of trying. I help support myself with my art and crocheting that I sell. I have lived in my apartment for 4 years. I see homeless people everyday and help when I can and direct them to services if they want them.

Iv been homeless 2 times in my life,and I always worked and earned my own way,I also knew a few other guys that were the hardest workers u could ever meet,both times I was determined not to stay homeless any longer than necessary and my hard work payed off

Pls pray for all the homeless in the world.

I'm rural poor in Australia. I have no family or friends. I'm alone in this world.

This really made me think twice about running away from home. Thank you.

May God bless & protect & help homeless 🙏

thanks for making this

Yes sir keep bringin that value

If you are an able body (walking around) then you need to be able to provide for yourself.! If no one will hire you then become a Boss.! Understand what credit can do for you, once you understand credit and how to use it correctly then your life will improve. So while these videos are out here, the ones making the videos should teach them about credit and help them use it wisely. Unfortunately alot of people who are homeless are not educated enough to do the right things in life. Sad but Truth.! ✊❤️

love ❤❤❤, thank you

Tugboat is super cool I am broke, but if I had some extra dough, I would send tb some scratch.I am glad, that he has a son that he can hang out with every know and again.godspeed Tugboat Godspeed!

Hey mate good little doco bro cheers from Sydney nsw.

I know, YWAM. They do great work

In my state sleeping in my car was ok 45 now was scary lots of times swear it gave me PTSD really bad stress started drinking to cope with it finally got in to rehab helped for few years got sick few years and started back drinking go few weeks sober drink day or so good luck

What a sweet man❤️

Brother rainwater peace and blessings

Be the "YOU" that doesn't require someone else's PERMISSION.

Keep up your spirits. Keep asking for work

I am retired and his day is not much different than mine, except I live in an apartment, buy & make my own food, have a computer & TV for entertainment.

Instead of finding out your homeless and give you a job because you actually want to work and be productive. They do the opposite. Shame on them hell has a special place for people like that sir. Don't let them get you down there's good people that would give you a job in a minute

I'm doing panhandling, just have to swallow your pride, and have nerve, energy to stand on highway with a big cardboard sign. But I'm getting $100 for 3 hours, that's as much as at a regular job, or more actually 🤔

What a lovely man ,best wishes,,isle of man 🇮🇲

Godspeed 🙏

Very nice documentary...

He is a great man! :)

Why do you live in one of the most expensive cities?

Former bike mechanic? I'm officially retired and help out at a local bike shop because very few people want to work. If your a decent mechanic, you should be able to get a job. Shops have a hard time finding good dependable people. Good luck

A lot of homeless people don't tell you about their dark secrets which lead them to becoming homeless in the first place: Drugs & Alcohol 👹

Beautiful ❤️

Hi!!! I am a film student and I am actually interested in also doing a day in the life of a homeless man and this is just a fantastic example to look at. I would love to ask a few questions on how you made this project come to life!!

Great video

What a nice man It's terrible that the welfare system doesn't allow people to get back on their feet when being made homeless. There is no safety net in place. We are all a pay cheque away from the streets

I really liked the guy selling the walking sticks.

I came to this video from a video with slums from Philippines, making pognok or something like that.... basically second hand food. Philippines vs USA.. Its hard for everybody everywhere...but so different

Kudos to the shooter for using a wide aperture lens which separates the subject from his background, sort of the theme of the video

Nicely made. What kind of camera did you use?

What a great story

at least he's living in a place where they have services I wasn't that lucky

Man. If they lived where I live they would thrive. Hard workers are very appreciated and wanted. You’d be homeless for a couple of months before you can find a place to live

Did they chase tugboat up and see how his going now hope it works out well for him

But for the grace of God, there go I

Free breakfast lunch shower laundry grooming and entertainment. At this point we are making it comfortable to be homeless most are simply choosing this path because its easy.

cool

San Francisco didn't have grits when I was there.

Any updates on him ? I’m currently homeless now in a shelter homelessness seems to be increasing unfortunately

Get a job is all you hear,so when they ask where you live at an interview and you say a tent your not getting hired,get sick ,injured,so many things can put u on the street

"Thy shall love my Neighbors..." this is one of the RICHEST Nations and a FREE World....people imagine this "rich Country" is safe and the People well taken care of. But REALITY is totally the opposite and Heartbreaking. Homelessness is the rise and violence sky rocket....APOCALYPTIC 🙌🙌😢😢💀☠️

I have to give props to a lot of homeless and un-housed, my ass complains when I have to walk anywhere.

if this is your channe! then just continue vlogging...and when you will finally monetuze your channel you can get on your feet again...i hope things will turn out fine for you...

Why tell a job app that you are homeless? I traveled USA and just made up an address on Job apps. Later I could get a proper mail address and make a change on company papers. Get the job first or move along to a town with more opportunities

I SAY GOD BLESS THE HOMELESS BE KIND TO THEM WHO AGREES WITH ME, TOMORROW I FIND OUT IF I GOT THE JOB I WENT FOR ITS WORKING AT A HOMELESS SHELTER I PRAY TO GOD I GET THE JOB ID LOVE TO HELP THE HOMELESS I REALLY WANT THIS JOB.

Was just wondering 🤔..if the young man could afford a P.O box... ( fir the employment situation 🙏)but I understand.. probably not right now.. you're just trying to survive.. making sure you have some to eat 🍽 and drink 💦 and somewhere to lay your head 🙏 that no one bothers you. Omg.. it's so hard being homeless 🙏

Thank you for keeping breath in your lungs Tugboat

Housing now they cost too much money that's why I lot of people have to live on the street

Nice vidss

Although the dynamics are changing with inflation causing more homeless, the homeless problem is a drug problem and that must be dealt with first. Housing them will not solve the issue or the crime associated with it. It will only cost taxpayers as they expect everything to be provided for them

he can work. i only work part time to stop others living off my taxes.

It's not REALLY all THAT bad. Speaking from 10 years of experience

El corrido de el 1219

I didn't even have a tent to stay !

Bro is famous now

A few bad apples. He forgets, They Are the bad apples. Society already threw them away. At his point they either become cider, sauce or juice.

I wanna be homeless one day.

He should have pressed on the job loss excuse. Probably fired for ageism or something similar. Sue them! If your over 50 and unfortunate enough to have an employer instead of working for yourself, watch your back!

I want to take tugboat in he’s such a sweet soul, I have 2 spare rooms if only I could get him to aus

Sam Francisco is great place to be homeless

🙏🙏, What a nice guy do he have a cash app ?

I'm sure they have government assistance well people on social security I know they do where I live

4 days of homeless, come on man.

they don;t hire homeles people that is the problem!!!

Versus being a woman: dudes inviting you to do drugs for sinister intentions. The end.

But if you have everybody feeding you given you everything you need doing your laundry for you don't you become complacent and say oh this isn't that bad? Sometimes it's really weird to hear homeless people complain about the type of house they get for free it's not designed to keep you it's designed to help you get off your ass and go on I mean if they're doing your laundry feeding you they might as well give you the Taj Mahal right

Why don't you use your son's apartment as your address for finding work purposes?

But a lot of people would love to have alcohol and drug instead of a home

Smoking cigarettes?. 12.00 a pack. .?

People live on the streets and yet they expect them to wear a fkn mask

His son can help a dog but not the dad smh

Why don't you get a job in the homeless shelter

Elderly people on the street is a lifestyle choice, no need to feel sorry for them, at any time they can go into assisted living facility and have everything provided for them, paid for by the federal government... Usually takes only a couple months if you're already on social security. So, meh, save your sympathy for someone else...

They say every generation have there great story teller and I am the great story teller of my generation. And I am going to be one of the greatest story to ever live because the stories I tell can save you and your family from a life of crime, humiliation and DRUG ADDICTION! And I do have a lot more great stories to tell and I hope my life story can save you and your family from a life of DRUG ADDICTION.

Govt has failed you my dear...i am so sorry, you worked all your life. You didn't save money or build any home. And your own people wouldn't hire you because you are homeless. 7:18 Given how small is the place, i would suggest you and your son to better hangout in some park or a garden..and then just sleep in this SRO. Also when you are housing people make huge common areas and also have spacious dorms. And as many private rooms !
