Impact On Lives

😢 He gave up everything for love and now he’s begging on the streets. An American from Indiana moved to the Philippines to marry the woman he loved, but life took a heartbreaking turn 💔. Once a manager at Taco Bell and Domino’s, he invested all his savings in a new life here. Now, after a failed business and dwindling funds, he’s left with nothing and survives by begging outside a Manila mall. This emotional story is a cautionary tale about sacrifice, fate, and finding hope when all seems lost 🙏🇵🇭.

Never move overseas without a monthly pension, disability, or retirement fund.

Iv been here in the Philippines for 3+ years! Must control your own destiny. Never let anyone take advantage of you. Including your woman and her family…

'I came here to get married' - mistake #1

@PILearning2LiveAgain 10 months ago

This story should serve as a warning to others considering coming here. If you don't have a pension or other guaranteed monthly income, don't come here thinking you'll be okay.

As a Filipina Woman I felt sad watching this video. I think he needs to go to the USA Embassy to get some help and go back to his country 😢💔 he needs help

"I just ran out of money." Huh? Running out of money is not like having a stroke. You can see it coming for months or even years ahead of time. Before he got down to his last $5000 he should have been on a plane back to Indiana. If he's truly disabled, he would likely qualify for Social Security disability. SSDI would probably be enough to live on in the Philippines. You must come to the Philippines prepared and make rational decisions while you're there. You MUST have an emergency fund that you NEVER touch until it's time to go. If you can't do that, the Philippines will eat you alive!

I give the guy respect for avoiding trash talking his X, even there is likely a lot of incriminating details he could have shared. I've learned nothing good ever comes from sharing such details, and especially not on a public platform like youtube. And I wont make any critical comments about how he ended up where he is. It's very unfortunate and I feel empathetic for him. I wish him the best!

You don’t retire in the Philippines at the age of 50 without any income or savings. Go back with the help of the embassy.

We must admire this guy. He is a self made Phillipino.

Moving abroad with limited savings, no job prospects, limited qualifications, and no support system in place in said country. Yeah, it probably will not work out too well!

I moved to the Philippines at 44 with no pension and only a dream, LOL. I came here with only $7500 USD, almost 9 years later, thankfully, I was able to make it online. I earn enough to hit my budgets, save, and invest. I don't recommend this... I shake my head at myself now at how risky of a decision that was in 2017.

I am a foreinger in QC myself, living near Farview Market. I could next week get over there to get him some supplies. How could i find him to get him some food?

A little bit of tail causes a lot of hardship .

These women in countries like Philippines are in survival mode, they are looking for financiall help, the minute you cant help them, you become yesterday’s trash. Women ate the same, its just a different set of circumstances.

@theswede5402 10 months ago

Classic case of Simping and going broke, no critical thinking skills and desperately falling for the first woman he met.

I will support your videos for not escaping advertisements. Thank you for what you do Carrie. God bless you more. Watching from Spain🇪🇸

50 years, disabled, and no residual/disability/savings income(...?) Not "God's Will", but he'd be on the street in America too(!) Go to embassy, trade passport for ticket back to US, and get some help, because there's no future for "broke & broken" eppats iin Philippines, or anywhere else(.)

@ColinHogan-p1j 10 months ago (edited)

I don't know why he prefers a laptop than I ticket to go home. IAM sure he will get some sort of social security in his country. I think he is a dreamer trying to get a online job.
