Truly pathetic that this is reality in the. US. Thank you for sharing and bringing this to people's attention. Why do we have unlimited funds for other countries but none for our citizens?
Most homeless people are there by choice. They choose to live on land others pay for and destroy the environment with litter and unsanitary body waste everywhere. That’s the largest part of them not seeing animals.
People don't realize that they are a couple paychecks away from being homeless.. it can take an accident, a loved one who provides dying or a loss of a full time job.. unfortunately the people judging the homeless are the problem.. not everyone who is homeless is a druggie or mentally ill. Thank you for what you do.. ❤
I have always said I'm 1 payday away from being homeless one accident one anything and I would have been. The only thing I find difficult is the filthiness of some of the camps , you can be poor and live right . Good luck to all that need the help 🕊️🌷🤍
Good work! Most county social services departments have a child protective services division. Sometimes they do more harm than good but not always. Helping the homeless takes a lot of us who care.
I respect your for this. I really took your words to heart the other day when you were buying the homeless people a meal that got harassed and you said you didn't have it in you to eat and look out the windows at someone hungry and not buy them a meal. ❤
Hurricane Ian devastated Charlotte county, Lee County and Southern Sarasota County almost two years ago with damage still visible. There are a few gas stations that haven’t had their damage canopies replaced and people are still living in campers in drive ways and canopies still on roofs. The flooding and damage was like nothing else seen and many poor people were pushed out of their homes and if they could, were even pushed out of the state due to the cost of living and the hurricane. I worked for a nonprofit and they claimed to hire case managers to connect citizens to resources but no money I seen was given. The head of the nonprofit’s and local government look the other way when they see homeless people. It’s pitiful.
I live in port Charlotte, I knew there was homeless buy didn't realize the camps were this big 😢. The fact we let children and our veterans sleep on the ground sickens me .
Waters are really the biggest thing to help the homeless. My children and I have been homeless for the last 3 years almost. Thank God My parents own there property but at the moment we have no power or running water due to our home of 35 years burnt down and we can't get anything turn on till we have a new home put here. But that is amazing of you to bring the homeless water 💯❤️ I pray to get back into a home. I never in my Life thought I'd be homeless! God bless you 🙏
I'm so sorry to hear this. Besides waters, what is the next things people can do to help? If you would make what you feel is a good priority list for people to know? Also, are you in this same area?
Yes other things that come in handy are baby wipes, paper plates, plastic forks and spoons, batteries and battery operated lights, bug spray. Water is the biggest thing I would say tho. I have lived in Pasco FL My whole life. My parents bought their home in 1987 but we live on the east side in Wesley Chapel. I don't like the West side it's so dirty and lots of junkie people there. But to be honest everyday more people come to this side of the county because it's starting to build up. We actually have a good handful of homeless camps here. It's actually ridiculous that this government can't do something for our state! It's way too expensive to even live anymore.
Thank you for helping! I have a suggestion: perhaps take trash bags and haul off their trash. If the areas are neat and tidy maybe they will get less resistance
There are horror stories of children living in foster homes and shelters once taken away by dcf, there probably gonna be a lot happier out in nature and with the community of others
Exactly 💯 same I was thinking, plus who has the right to take a child away because the parents are homeless doesn't mean they are bad parents, CPS is evil
This video is toned down, the horrors we saw inside this camp off camera is disturbing. Elderly people, disabled and disfigured people and of course those who are too young to be here. Its upsetting and downright disgusting to see the conditions of the people here. 😢
@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS if the homeless veteran, disabled and elderly were a serious focus in the next election and something was actually done about it after election, ordinary people would gain some trust in our failed system that should be dealing with this. As it is, non-profits are being thrown tons of money, and much of it is just padding pockets. I've seen it first hand. I see it daily. There is big money to be made in the homeless situation, and it IS being made, diverted, and stolen. This isn't the only reason things are so catastrophic. But it's certainly one reason. Great work. Great video. Thank you for all you do.
Hello Jose, thank you for your documentaries of how the middle class people are now trying to survive. I am third generation Naples Florida resident and I now (disabled/retired) & live in a minivan I am making payments on. The list gor housing has been "full" since before my grandson was born-he graduated this year. Still sleeping at a friend's house while his Momma works 2 & 3 jobs to stay alive. She lived in a jeep until a friend offered a room. The government has taken ALL of my dignity & reason to live. May God have mercy
I used to locate housing in the county and it is extremely difficult to locate suitable housing that will pass basic HQS inspections with a somewhat reasonable rental rate. "Affordable housing" in the private sector is like finding a unicorn, and publicly alloted units coming available again are just as rare. It's above us social workers on the frontline. The frustration is shared. Can only continue to advocate. Nice work and Great job not disclosing that location. You know what the result would be. ❤
Tarp setup: 2 + tarps Link together with window tape (construction product) Space a 1" gap between tarps then use the window tape on both sides. The 1" gap allows the window tape strips to adhere/stick to each other. I did this with 3 tarps and had an awesome camping setup. I could raise and lower the sides
I lived in Punta Gorda 1974-1976. Husband and I built Pelican Harbor Mobile Home Park off Riverside Dr. On Peace River. Was not much in Punta Gorda back then ! I was only 20 years old. I don’t remember too many homeless in that area at that time ! What a tragedy ! Hope this situation can be taken care of !!!!!! I was at Pinellas Hope shelter and Safe Harbor in Pinellas Co in 2023. These shelters were Horrid , in my opinion! These shelters, employees abuse the homeless 24/7 !!! And, they will kick people out at anytime, not give a homeless person anytime to pack up and then have to sit outside shelter with belongings in bags!!! Yes, a lot needs to be done to help human beings!!!!!
With the amount of perfectly good food that goes to waste on a daily basis from every major grocery store in America, I would say the majority of homeless could be fed by this. Quite a bit of it is donated to local churches for handouts, which is great, but so much of it goes directly into the trash, and the means, and the funding do not exist to transport these provisions to the needy. We only get volunteers, and people like yourself that go the extra mile to help. There is a huge gap between these 2 worlds that lack the proper connections, which you continue to find out more about, and learning of these dire situations that people are in. I'm amazed at the resiliency of some of these folks living out in the elements, and give you a ton of praise, for helping out like you do, Jose! If everyone does at least a little something for the less fortunate, it can make a difference.
@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Yeah, some stores have the sealed dumpsters that have no outside opening. The expired meat and produce and fruit and packaged goods that get wasted and thrown into them is outrageous. Nobody can get to those products from the outside.
The county and federal government could at least provide a small shed with shelving for people to donate food drop off and garbage pickup for them. That would be a start. That would help it be more sanitary. Possibly a few portipottys . Maybe desinate a location for them be for work so people could pick them up for jobs such as yard work a handyman jobs house cleaning etc.
those are practical and affordable ideas... two things the government wont do.. in fact some of the things you mentioned are even illegal by the governments.. go figure
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I know our government would rather send our tax money to foreign nations that hate us. The illegals crossing the boarder gets luxury hotels debt cards. free food medical and free transportation. Our own homeless gets nothing. Keep exposing it. Thank you for what you do. Maybe if enough people see this and call our representatives it will force them to do something.
We stock the self serve pantries outside churches for folks can get food without having to be there when the church's indoor pantry is open. I put Xtra food on my grocery list every month. People deserve to eat!
Thx for doing what you do bro. It’s so cool. Idk why no one else has thought of this. Something about homeless camps that is intriguing. I wanna roll out there with you someday
Thank you for visiting the camp. The 61 yr old man is amazing, kind hearted and intelligent. Perhaps on your next visit you could bring him a new 50gal garbage can for water collection. And a gal bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide.
Jose I admire the work you're doing. Going out of your way to help people in a bad situation. Plus trying to bring awareness to everyone else of the growing problem. Hopefully that family with kids get the help they need. Along with all the other homeless people. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Jose, I would suggest you going to the Charlotte Homeless Coalition, 1476 Kenesaw st. Port Charlotte, not the city of Punta Gorda. We in Punta Gorda as a whole community do so very much for the folks in need . We step up to help support the homeless, the hungry the children the Veterans and the elderly. I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos informing people about the struggles of homeless people. Please direct your criticism to the correct agency or organization.
Berkey charcoal filter drill a hole in 5 gal bucket they can filter the rain water and be self sufficient instead of relying on buying all that water and then lots more garbage to clean up
Great video! I have heard that the homelessness is real bad in the Gainesville fl area also. I’m not homeless this is my home. Thanks for your generosity! 😊
With as many vacant houses, apartments, mobile home parks around this country there should be no homeless people. The banks don't care. They are the ones that own these vacant places. Get with the homeless and let them do work on these places to make them liveable. Once they have a place they can live, then they will have a address and be able to get work. Make the rent cheap enough that they can afford it once they move in. Rent is ridiculously high. I am 69 and on disability. The money I do get barely pays my bills. If my rent was to go up I would have to live in the woods. The homeless people with children should be the top priority to get housing for immediately!
Most of those people are homeless by choice. At 69 I would assume you had something majorly catastrophic happen or you have done very poor planning since you became an adult at 18 years old for your golden years and retirement. Planning is essential for a long comfortable life.
Always told my kids,, don't judge, laugh,joke about anyone on the corner.....they turned out be very generous,kind, young adults.. yet here I am. Homeless... Gave my life to raise them and here I am with nothing.. nope I'm not on drugs or booze.... Life really does suck right now...
well, I remember telling you of this. Thank you for showing up with some level of support and understanding to help. I see the camps everyplace. Its because as you can see you can dip off in the woods to camp anyplace.
I have had a thought for the homeless. A person buy some land for them, they can camp and plant food for themselves. I think that might help. I do think we need to reopen asylum's for the mentally ill and that the drug addicted need special help so this would be for the ones that don't have these problems. Plus the elderly are losing their homes because they can't afford their property tax etc. its so sad. Laws need to change to protect the elderly from losing their homes they paid for years to own.
You're an Angel; Thank you for all your hard work. Praying for you as you keep trying and help! Also, for more compassion and a solution to this homeless epidemic in the United States. This is undeniably the worst and most shameful. The leaders of America are doing this to our own people for their own profit with no care as they pretend to be blind and pass the buck of being responsible.
Great video!!! Very nice of u for all your care and love!!! I'm not homeless but still have a tarp for a roof of Ian and we weekly never know If we will even be able to keep our home! So thank u for all your doing!
You are back on what we used to call the fuzzy streets! We used to have keg parties out there every weekend! There were no homeless people camped out back then. I would be scared now to go out there after dark. Drug planes used to use those streets too.
I can't believe this gentleman is homeless. I'm sitting here listening to him talk. He's got common sense. He has brains. Seems very intellegend. A lot better human being than some of my wealthy neighbors, I'll tell you that.
In Brooksville Fl. there is an abandoned development of single homes. It sickens me that people have to live like this when there are are places just sitting there waiting to be occupied.
@@fringestream990I work for the Courts and people are being evicted everyday because they have to choose to eat, medicine, insurance or rent. A shack is $800 a month and anything decent is $1,300 to $1,500 a month. You have to make over $20 an hour to pay rent. The elderly are being targeted in RV parks. Corporations own these parks and will evict you for any violation, like lawn not being mowed, paint peeling and etc. They take their homes and they are left homeless. No money to get anything else. Lot rent in RV parks have increase $300 to $500 in the past 3 years. Social Security hasn’t gone up that much. People have no idea what people are going through! It’s ridiculous!
@chrystalwilliams8089 thank you for telling it like it really is. I'm not homeless yet but I have 90 dollars to eat off of foe the whole month and we all know that I may get 3 bags of groceries at the store
Being there in the camps is so intense. There are so many that need help in Charlotte County. They were so thankful for Water and supplies . No one is helping them. The mosquitoes are constantly bitting you all over . They are all trying to help each other out the best they can ,

Jose’ they told my mom there was no waiting list 4 years ago. They lie there butts off unfortunately and help who they want! It’s a shame. I’m over the tracks I been trying to get my mom a place cause they give her the run around. Glad you’re doing this! ❤
This has been going on for years! I had a friend move from VA. He painted at Disney, he lost his job, and ended up in a Homeless Camp on Frito Lay property outside Orlando! I went down to check on him and bring him back to VA. He stayed. I had never seen anything like it before & he walked me throughout! Families with Children. He wouldn't walk me back further he said they were crazy people & alligators! He was beaten by 7 guys & became paralyzed. Dead 2 yrs later. Pray for these folks.
May God Bless you!! 🙏😇 The world needs more people like you! I hope these homeless people did not get flooded out from Hurricane Debby, with what little bit they have. 😢 So sad. I pray that one day, the rich and wealthy will humble themselves to give more to the less fortunate and not be so judgemental and greedy!
I would be concerned about drinking the water running off of those tarps. The tarps bake in the sun daily and over time, that's probably going to break down their materials, paints or dyes, etc. These poor folks, man.
I watched your video and applaud you for your love and concern for the homeless. I believe your efforts would be better spent holding the Federal Government accountable for this widespread problem instead of blaming local governments. Open border and taking care of at least 20 million illegals by providing lodging, food, medical, jobs and spending money is the root cause of the problem. Resources are not infinite the residents of Charlotte County can not afford to fund extra programs at this time based on the state of the economy.
that guy out right lied to you, they are public housing. they get federal funding. they maybe non profit but they are public not privet housing ffs. They have the money to build resorts but not housing. that is showing who is welcome an who isn't. helping those people was awesome. In some ways just know living out side is better then living in a house. As long as they can sleep comfortable and dry have food and as the one guy said they barter things they need with the skills they have. That's how those who had skills made it through the great depression without standing in bread lines. maybe he needs someone to bring him some big barrels to collect rain water being he helps others out there. if you call people that have those or food grade totes, tell them what you need them for lot of times people will just donate them no cost. i like how caring these homeless people were and they looked like a really nice neighborly bunch. anyways ty for helping them.
they could use water purification drops, it comes in two little bottles, mix a few drops of each and add to water and it is safe to drink, chlorine dioxide is amazing and safer than chlorine.
Its not illegal for someone with a child to be homeless as long as the kids are taken care of there's people that live in Rvs Van campers suv campers they still have a home and everything in a home just without the house there's a lot of families that live in campgrounds as well because housing is to much for a lot of people
I think it would be a great idea if he was able to do a story in reference to the homeless here in Arcadia Florida. There is an abundance of homeless people here from all ages.
GOD BLESS THE HOUSELESS PEOPLE. FOR THEY ARE GODS CHILDREN TOO AND ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN YOU & I EXCEPT THEY HAVE NO ROOF OVER THEIR HEADS😔 PRAYING FOR SAFE ROOFS FOR THE HOUSELESS💜🙏👣🕊️AMEN.
Compassionate reporting but going through official channels might result in the children being taken away from the parents. I would recommend a great CZcamsr out that way named Ben Grieco. He covers the real estate beat out that way, and he is smart and articulate.
Yep! Project 2025 in Florida! Illegal to be homeless- my Pinellas County Sheriff has forewarned they know of nook’s & crannies where homeless sleep and will be given choice of going to shelter or jail. No resources provided- relying on nonprofits to provide services. Disgusting DeSantis!
I feel for these people 😢 I live in a small shed with no kitchen and thank God for the toilet in here. I wish I could help these people I’m having a hard time just taking care of myself. I live in Port Charlotte if I have anything they might need I would love to give it to them.
Hey bro I just want to say you your wife and your friend are awesome people for passing out water and caring about homeless people like you do if everybody in America cared about homeless people the way you and your wife does and your friend does she won't be no homeless problem everybody would have a home
Thank you for everything you are doing to not only help them, but you are also advocating for them in multiple ways, especially sharing this video. Unfortunately, our despicable governor has refused federal government assistance for those less fortunate souls. He has turned away millions of dollars that could benefit these individuals. Why? B/C he caters to the wealthy, and they all turn away from this humanitarian crisis. Many people have resorted to living in vehicles as well. It truly breaks my heart to see a veteran living in the woods. He seems happy enough, but it’s not right. No veteran should be homeless. No child should either.
So sad. Our country gives housing, food, healthcare to millions of illegal immigrants but not our own citizens, poor disabled and elderly. Florida needs to be and do much better than this.

There's hospital and healthcare jobs in the Panhandle. We live up here and thats where we work. I would also say tourism, restaurants, along the coast. If one teaches they can work in a school. Not a lot of other stuff besides agriculture/farming etc. Lots of bee keepers up here too and many of them make a good living. Some of our neighbors raise cattle and one does taxidermy and he does okay.

Yes I live in Pasco county since 1987 on 59 years old from New York you're doing God's work brother
Thank you for visiting the camp.
The 61 yr old man is amazing, kind hearted and intelligent.
Perhaps on your next visit you could bring him a new 50gal garbage can for water collection.
And a gal bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide.
Jose I admire the work you're doing. Going out of your way to help people in a bad situation. Plus trying to bring awareness to everyone else of the growing problem. Hopefully that family with kids get the help they need. Along with all the other homeless people. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
They gone make me disappear for it
Jose, I would suggest you going to the Charlotte Homeless Coalition, 1476 Kenesaw st. Port Charlotte, not the city of Punta Gorda. We in Punta Gorda as a whole community do so very much for the folks in need . We step up to help support the homeless, the hungry the children the Veterans and the elderly. I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos informing people about the struggles of homeless people. Please direct your criticism to the correct agency or organization.
HE IS A GOOD MAN AND YOU ARE A VERY GOOD MAN!THANKS FOR YOUR TIME
Berkey charcoal filter drill a hole in 5 gal bucket they can filter the rain water and be self sufficient instead of relying on buying all that water and then lots more garbage to clean up
i bought a big bag of activated charcoal in bulk form to put in my Berkey, the cost of those filters has become insane.
Thank you for helping them ❤
Great video! I have heard that the homelessness is real bad in the Gainesville fl area also. I’m not homeless this is my home. Thanks for your generosity! 😊
Gainesville is in bad shape
Scary because I read an article that desantis is gonna clear them up
With as many vacant houses, apartments, mobile home parks around this country there should be no homeless people. The banks don't care. They are the ones that own these vacant places. Get with the homeless and let them do work on these places to make them liveable. Once they have a place they can live, then they will have a address and be able to get work. Make the rent cheap enough that they can afford it once they move in. Rent is ridiculously high. I am 69 and on disability. The money I do get barely pays my bills. If my rent was to go up I would have to live in the woods. The homeless people with children should be the top priority to get housing for immediately!
The future of many now housed
The banks produced a lot of homeless people
Very very very true.🌹
Most of those people are homeless by choice. At 69 I would assume you had something majorly catastrophic happen or you have done very poor planning since you became an adult at 18 years old for your golden years and retirement. Planning is essential for a long comfortable life.

🙄🙄🙄🙄😖😖
Always told my kids,, don't judge, laugh,joke about anyone on the corner.....they turned out be very generous,kind, young adults.. yet here I am. Homeless... Gave my life to raise them and here I am with nothing.. nope I'm not on drugs or booze.... Life really does suck right now...
Why are your kids not helping you?
well, I remember telling you of this. Thank you for showing up with some level of support and understanding to help. I see the camps everyplace. Its because as you can see you can dip off in the woods to camp anyplace.
Excellent video Jose, thank you for going to bat for these homeless children.
No child should be homeless.
Thank you for all you do and posting about this. These poor kids! Very sad state of affairs in our country.
So sad that in a country as rich as ours, that these are the conditions some people live in. Pure sadness
It's sad our taxpayer money could be used to help our veterans instead of funding proxy wars.
I have had a thought for the homeless. A person buy some land for them, they can camp and plant food for themselves. I think that might help. I do think we need to reopen asylum's for the mentally ill and that the drug addicted need special help so this would be for the ones that don't have these problems. Plus the elderly are losing their homes because they can't afford their property tax etc. its so sad. Laws need to change to protect the elderly from losing their homes they paid for years to own.
Bidenomics at work :(
Thank you for all you do. We need more people like you. First time watching. Subbed
This is how people have lived in Florida since the first man arrived
You are a Godsend. Bless your heart for caring and helping as best you can…
careful with reporting families to government. they could end up in foster care. give those families help but not government help.
😢 i wouldn’t talk to CxF they would just make things worse
Exactly, he just got all these people bull dozed over once this blows over.
Thank you guys
Much respect for you Jose for what you do thank you and GOD BLESS !!!
Great job team 😊 Jose you have an awesome woman keep her
Good evening Jose, another fine presentation. Looks like we know the problem, who is part of the solution. ??
You're an Angel; Thank you for all your hard work.
Praying for you as you keep trying and help!
Also, for more compassion and a solution to this homeless epidemic in the United States.
This is undeniably the worst and most shameful.
The leaders of America are doing this to our own people for their own profit with no care as they pretend to be blind and pass the buck of being responsible.
-myself, included.....sitting on the fence of homelessness each month...hanging on, but so close
Many of us, be wise with money when you have it.. things could get worse
loved this vid.salute for the water
He has kind eyes
My wife said the same!
Great video!!! Very nice of u for all your care and love!!! I'm not homeless but still have a tarp for a roof of Ian and we weekly never know If we will even be able to keep our home! So thank u for all your doing!
You are back on what we used to call the fuzzy streets! We used to have keg parties out there every weekend! There were no homeless people camped out back then. I would be scared now to go out there after dark. Drug planes used to use those streets too.
Bot even four wheelers go here now too scary
I have watched several of your post.you.are doing a needed job the main stream stays away from.God bless you.
Omgosh. I just moved here and I’ve heard about this. This video found me somehow. Something needs to change.
They need to help the whole family and not steal the kids into foster care in the event their parents fell on temporary hard times.
Bless your kind hearts. Thank you for helping these souls....
How is this help?
@@conniegravelle1803 Is there something wrong about giving water and food to destitute people when it's very hot outside???
You are a great couple God Bless You
I can't believe this gentleman is homeless. I'm sitting here listening to him talk. He's got common sense. He has brains.
Seems very intellegend. A lot better human being than some of my wealthy neighbors, I'll tell you that.
In Brooksville Fl. there is an abandoned development of single homes. It sickens me that people have to live like this when there are are places just sitting there waiting to be occupied.
America is falling. Homelessness are popping up all over the country.
This is a choice, these people all have options and they all chose this lifestyle.
@fringestream990 True. However, more and more people are becoming homeless because inflation and opportunities for Americans are being replaced.
@@CountCraigula Yep!!!!
@@fringestream990I work for the Courts and people are being evicted everyday because they have to choose to eat, medicine, insurance or rent. A shack is $800 a month and anything decent is $1,300 to $1,500 a month. You have to make over $20 an hour to pay rent. The elderly are being targeted in RV parks. Corporations own these parks and will evict you for any violation, like lawn not being mowed, paint peeling and etc. They take their homes and they are left homeless. No money to get anything else. Lot rent in RV parks have increase $300 to $500 in the past 3 years. Social Security hasn’t gone up that much. People have no idea what people are going through! It’s ridiculous!
@chrystalwilliams8089 thank you for telling it like it really is. I'm not homeless yet but I have 90 dollars to eat off of foe the whole month and we all know that I may get 3 bags of groceries at the store
I've never seen so many homeless people in one place.. We have so many here. I also live in Illinois.
Being there in the camps is so intense. There are so many that need help in Charlotte County. They were so thankful for Water and supplies . No one is helping them. The mosquitoes are constantly bitting you all over . They are all trying to help each other out the best they can ,
Jesus is Lord
Yep he’s doing great things for these people!!!🤐
@@darylhill9400 Read Genesis to understand the fall of mankind. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places.
Jose’ they told my mom there was no waiting list 4 years ago. They lie there butts off unfortunately and help who they want! It’s a shame. I’m over the tracks I been trying to get my mom a place cause they give her the run around. Glad you’re doing this! ❤
This has been going on for years! I had a friend move from VA. He painted at Disney, he lost his job, and ended up in a Homeless Camp on Frito Lay property outside Orlando! I went down to check on him and bring him back to VA. He stayed. I had never seen anything like it before & he walked me throughout! Families with Children. He wouldn't walk me back further he said they were crazy people & alligators! He was beaten by 7 guys & became paralyzed. Dead 2 yrs later. Pray for these folks.
Very sad for these people with children 😢
"Everyone gets to physically suffer or emotionally suffer on earth. It's just their turn."
~ Quote, from truth
May God Bless you!! 🙏😇 The world needs more people like you! I hope these homeless people did not get flooded out from Hurricane Debby, with what little bit they have. 😢 So sad. I pray that one day, the rich and wealthy will humble themselves to give more to the less fortunate and not be so judgemental and greedy!
Richest country in the world, and this is how we treat the less fortunate
Florida isnt the only place that has homeless in..
Now what he's doing is simply an extended camping stay. Noticed many like this. As a kid we did this months at a time.
Didn't you see how relieved they were to get water? Kid should never live like this. Did you hear what he did during hurricanes?
Love your channel😊Have a blessed day
I would be concerned about drinking the water running off of those tarps. The tarps bake in the sun daily and over time, that's probably going to break down their materials, paints or dyes, etc. These poor folks, man.
Fiberglass makes you really sick 🤢
Extremely nice of you to give water like that!
Bs
I watched your video and applaud you for your love and concern for the homeless. I believe your efforts would be better spent holding the Federal Government accountable for this widespread problem instead of blaming local governments. Open border and taking care of at least 20 million illegals by providing lodging, food, medical, jobs and spending money is the root cause of the problem. Resources are not infinite the residents of Charlotte County can not afford to fund extra programs at this time based on the state of the economy.
that guy out right lied to you, they are public housing. they get federal funding. they maybe non profit but they are public not privet housing ffs. They have the money to build resorts but not housing. that is showing who is welcome an who isn't. helping those people was awesome. In some ways just know living out side is better then living in a house. As long as they can sleep comfortable and dry have food and as the one guy said they barter things they need with the skills they have. That's how those who had skills made it through the great depression without standing in bread lines. maybe he needs someone to bring him some big barrels to collect rain water being he helps others out there. if you call people that have those or food grade totes, tell them what you need them for lot of times people will just donate them no cost. i like how caring these homeless people were and they looked like a really nice neighborly bunch. anyways ty for helping them.
You would think old, defunct hotels could be converted to efficiency apartments.
The only thing that DCF can do is take those kids and put them in foster care. I don’t think that is a good option.
they could use water purification drops, it comes in two little bottles, mix a few drops of each and add to water and it is safe to drink, chlorine dioxide is amazing and safer than chlorine.
Jose and the Mrs doing great work. Be careful bro. Im from SWFL and it can be dangerous in the woodline with critters and other things
Its not illegal for someone with a child to be homeless as long as the kids are taken care of there's people that live in Rvs Van campers suv campers they still have a home and everything in a home just without the house there's a lot of families that live in campgrounds as well because housing is to much for a lot of people
Now there are laws against homeless camps in Florida as of July 1st sadly.
Is that just the State or is that the Feds, with laws against homeless camps?
I think it would be a great idea if he was able to do a story in reference to the homeless here in Arcadia Florida. There is an abundance of homeless people here from all ages.
GOD BLESS THE HOUSELESS PEOPLE.
FOR THEY ARE GODS CHILDREN TOO
AND ARE NO DIFFERENT
THAN YOU & I
EXCEPT
THEY HAVE NO ROOF OVER THEIR HEADS😔
PRAYING
FOR SAFE ROOFS FOR THE HOUSELESS💜🙏👣🕊️AMEN.
The guy at then end really cares, straight as an arrow 😅
Be careful letting people in charge know about the children. The family is put at risk of cps removing the kids and putting them in foster care
They won’t do crap
I agree leave them alone for the county gets involved. The navy guy certainly doesn’t want to leave.
Compassionate reporting but going through official channels might result in the children being taken away from the parents. I would recommend a great CZcamsr out that way named Ben Grieco. He covers the real estate beat out that way, and he is smart and articulate.
We need to contact the governor, DeSantis . He needs to resolve this issue.
He’s trying to eliminate them
Yep! Project 2025 in Florida! Illegal to be homeless- my Pinellas County Sheriff has forewarned they know of nook’s & crannies where homeless sleep and will be given choice of going to shelter or jail. No resources provided- relying on nonprofits to provide services. Disgusting DeSantis!
DeSantis is no friend to homeless Americans or veterans
He's made sleeping in cars and outside illegal.
@@susannbasta2972😮 Wtf?! When did this go into effect?
I feel for these people 😢 I live in a small shed with no kitchen and thank God for the toilet in here. I wish I could help these people I’m having a hard time just taking care of myself. I live in Port Charlotte if I have anything they might need I would love to give it to them.
You are so very kind to think about other people when you are struggling yourself.
Hey bro I just want to say you your wife and your friend are awesome people for passing out water and caring about homeless people like you do if everybody in America cared about homeless people the way you and your wife does and your friend does she won't be no homeless problem everybody would have a home
Damn what a way to close the video with that speech. Mic drop 🎤
God bless , love this. Subscribed!
Just a thought, maybe the FEMA trailers rusting away down by the Punta Gorda Airport could be used to house some of the homeless people in our county.
It is a very good thought!
Thank you for everything you are doing to not only help them, but you are also advocating for them in multiple ways, especially sharing this video. Unfortunately, our despicable governor has refused federal government assistance for those less fortunate souls. He has turned away millions of dollars that could benefit these individuals. Why? B/C he caters to the wealthy, and they all turn away from this humanitarian crisis. Many people have resorted to living in vehicles as well. It truly breaks my heart to see a veteran living in the woods. He seems happy enough, but it’s not right. No veteran should be homeless. No child should either.
So sad. Our country gives housing, food, healthcare to millions of illegal immigrants but not our own citizens, poor disabled and elderly. Florida needs to be and do much better than this.
Fiction.
No. They don't have paperwork and social security card. Fox propaganda fiction
Dang he’s the mayor of the camp. Survival at its finest ✌️
Thought about giving away Solar powered lights and water pumping for showers !
Stunned how low they drop to scare people away like they did us with automatic weapons and we own deeded property free and clear .
If you get a suite you be ready to run for office
I could imagine you in that office building working new employee

Missed methville Florida explosion about a hour ago btw
Thankfully we pushed it a mile or so directly west
No shaking house or windows today
New marshal is on this
Still story here
Best wishes from methville Florida aka Interlachen west of palatka east of Gainesville new I-20 almost done
Get these people more tarps .
There's hospital and healthcare jobs in the Panhandle. We live up here and thats where we work. I would also say tourism, restaurants, along the coast. If one teaches they can work in a school. Not a lot of other stuff besides agriculture/farming etc. Lots of bee keepers up here too and many of them make a good living. Some of our neighbors raise cattle and one does taxidermy and he does okay.
