   • This brother talked for an hour and 22 minutes without being asked a single question by the interviewer and I was captivated the whole time. He needed to get this off his chest. Wow great interview!!

   • I’ve not wrote a comment in a long time but this young man’s story really got to me. One of the very best. Foster homes and supposed foster parents scarred my little sister that now at the age of 50 she’s still that frightened little girl and I don’t know if she will ever recover and she is so lost in addiction. I wish I could just give this young man a hug and thank him for sharing his story

   1. He talks about all of these horrible events that sound like it could have taken place over a life time, followed up by “then I turned 12” What a fascinating interview. I really enjoyed listening.

    • This man is so wise beyond his years. His self awareness and honesty both inwards and outwards is beyond impressive. You are a special one with a special purpose, my brother. 🙏🏾

    • This was inspiring for me in so many ways , from beginning to end …the entire story had me so but so hooked that I couldn’t even look away or refrain from hearing it for a sec. All that he went through to build up to this moment … That’s what his life was supposed to be about .. All the struggles he’s face from the get was so he could maybe help or impact someone else later on in his life and give others living that lifestyle just a glimpse of hope . I really do pray he continues on this path , but somehow I just know I don’t have to pray and that he will continue walking on that current and correct path . Thank you for sharing with such honesty
15. Love Always Wins!
    • Wow! I can only imagine how many children are going through situations like this. He story was captivating because I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to go from foster home to foster home. I hope he does well and stays out of the streets for good.

    • This was absolutely amazing this dude just talked for 82 minutes straight without being asked a single thing you wouldnt have even known Mark was in the room. What a life this dude has lived he has lived 10 lives and to be still here to tell his side is a blessing in itself and for him to want to give back and help the youth shows the man he really is a modern day hero. I wish this man nothing but greatness and blessings in life and I hope he lives a long and healthy one. This was the easiest hour and a half of watching I ever have done captivating from start to finish.. thanks Mark for providing this platform to the world so people like my guy here can get their story out. Love from Ireland 🤞
