Mark

Whether you live in a small town or a big city, there are homeless people living in your community. They may not be visible all the time, but they are there.

On a recent trip to Phoenix, Arizona I met Mark. He is 22 years old, lost his job four months ago, and has been on the streets ever since. Marks one and only wish is to find a job.

Special thanks to the Phoenix Rescue Mission for the hospitality.

"I just want a job.. that's it." These people are not lazy or trash like we want to label them. Although some of them are lazy, most like Mark here just needs a break and work. Don't think that you can ignore these good people and it won't affect you. We are all interconnected. Suffering anywhere is suffering everywhere... it will catch up with any of us sooner or later. Be kind, help a little, give somebody a break. You are well so pay it forward.

@iDarkSkittle It doesn't take much effort to behave yourself for a 2min 6 second video, wait until a homeless person sleeps in your garage for a week and steals your car...

@0poop0 You fail at empathy.

he seems like he might be a drugy

@HerrSpieldose he is crazy? You think that there is something SOO wrong with him just by looking at him? You don't know ANYTHING about him and you are not some sort of expert on mental disorders. Even experts don't write people off simply by looking at them. He seems like a good person who is having a hard time. I don't care about your sympathizing for others because doing one good thing doesn't justify doing something bad. Good day.

@HerrSpieldose I swear i didn't follow you anywhere, i watched every single video and read the comments as well. Homelessness is something that is very close to my heart so of course i am going to be passionate about it. I actually apologized to you and then re-read your comment and noticed that you didn't deserve an apology. You are a nasty person, plain and simple. I am not a hypocrite..i don't even think you understand the word. You had one bad experience and all of a sudden you think that

toodles Princess! :D

[HerrSpieldose]

but then again, you are just feeling bad for all of the "hotties" it seems anyhow... and I even sympathized with one of the educated ones too... funny how you missed that one too. Trust me, I'm up to the task of being as disruptive, incorrigible. disturbing and maddening an influence on a singularity as I have always been on society. The augmentation I'd provide to the general intelligence would be more than offset by the pain in the ass I'd be - just for the sheer joy of making you miserable...

@xsultrysongstress79x I think you are a hypocrite and just simply projecting your problems on to me. My proof that suggests this to me: as I respond to all of these comments on this video, I can't help but notice that you followed me to every video I have made comments on in these series and made nasty comments to every one that wasn't to your liking, not exactly healthy behavior IMHO. But we are all entitled to our opinions. You missed my comments sympathizing with handicapped ppl BTW!
