Now their oldest (12 years old) has been diagnosed with diabetes and
has to have daily insulin shots and medical testing to get her all balanced
enough to attend school.
They gave up their two car's which required payments for two that are paid for.
They need two because driving around in the car sometimes is the only thing they
can do to calm their autistic child when he's having a rough patch.
He has been working 6 days a week for the last two years just so his family can have medical insurance.
They have defaulted on their mortgage and are still there two years later.
For free, as you call it.
All of their toys and fancy shit was sold when the youngest was diagnosed.

I think you lack a great deal of empathy and you can keep coming up
with loser stories who you think deserve to be homeless all day long if thats what makes you feel better.

Some of us are not talking stuff, we are talking about survival.
Go buy your big tv now while things are great for you .That may
not always be the case.

Again go back and read my post and tell me where I said this guy deserves to be homeless. You're ok with paying his mortgage when he isn't willing to sell a car? Sell some dirt bikes? He could have sold 3 of the 7 dirt bikes and paid his mortgage for a year. Sold the minivan and paid his mortgage for almost 2 years. He isn't willing to take personal responsibilty to honor his obligations , but I'm supposed to be okay funding a program to honor his obligations for him. Well I'm not okay with that. You want to say I lack empathy for that? Go ahead I will wear your false title like a badge of honor. I'm getting a little tired of your personal attacks and jabs and insults. Stick to the facts and your point of veiw on things. If you disagree, fine you disagree . I'm not going to allow you to disrespect my opinion with your personal assaults. Also this guys was not a loser in any way shape or form, he was a very nice guy and seemed like a great dad. He just has his priorities screwed up, and is financially irresponsible.
