The Real Homeless Man Experiment
Special thanks to sandy for being apart of this experiment, it couldn't have been made without him. Sandy is one of the most interesting people i have met and its unfortunate to see him in the condition he is in. On the previous video we did together, i created a donation page for him it got over $140 ; i gaved him the money and he loved it! I hope Sandy & i provided another perspective for you.
