How did you end up on the streets?
You saw where I was one month ago. Many comments asked how this happened. I told this story to my closest friends and now to you. This is not easy to talk about but I choose to stay with the good times in my mind and not to think about the bad times.
We continue the story of my life. I am talking about staying with friends when I could. Then I stayed in the hospital emergency room sleeping at night only sitting, so hard to sleep sitting. That was from 2005 to 2011. After that I sdept in the street for the first time. Like today they rob me many times.
The video was stopped when I see my friend Alejandro coming. Sorry for noise and wind but I was robbed last night by a gang and them stealing my radio. so Alejandro visited and buy me a new radio today. If you stay for the second part in spanish you can meet Alejandro to in this d tube 4 video
Here is the video in English at the beginning and Spanish at the end.

You can also read the story from September 2018 about how I met Steemit.
The story of your life really inspired me @lvj... you were able to get out of adversity with a smile.
Then comes someone who calls a friend, he loves you like his own family.
I followed what your helper did, I'm sure I will get a reward for his kindness.
On the other hand I was inspired by your consistency in being on Dtube, without special talent, without the slightest desire and passion, but someone you call a friend has turned you into this beauty, this really can't be measured financially, because many things cannot be bought with money.
Greetings from me for your pahlamawan who have changed you as beautifully as this.

Thank you Juancito for this video, the life is hard and obviously even having close people around you not always that helps.
I was sorry to hear that you have been robbed, but that is what can happen when you are on the street, luckily nothing happened to yourself. Like my mother would say no matter what you lost, important is that you are healthy and alive. But the bitter taste of that event remains in your heart for some time. it is nice to see Alejandro and that now you have a radio, I believe in lonely nights radio is your best friend.
Take care and we will see you soon :)

Hi @lvj
Those who robbed you may be jealous because you've gotten better now than they
I and many others wish you to get somewhere and live and be able to sleep safer
What does it cost to rent an apartment per month?
And what does a deposit cost for an apartment?
Possibly we can create a campaign for you at Steemit
Where all the incomes go to you to get an apartment for you with our Steemit Friends.
Nice if you can enter prices in dollars to rent a home
All funds that will be sent to you will be placed on your SAVING account
@done can show you how it can be done
Do you want us to do this we make an arrangement with inspiration from everyone here at Steemit
For example, text:
Little John (@lvj) needs a place to live and we can help
All friends of @lvj, Are you part of it, we will help to stay safe and warm
Come with input, thoughts ideas and we will put this diligence

Due to the language barrier, I have asked Juan to put out feelers for a place to rent. He has many friends in the area. I have personally asked about rooms for rent that offer shared kitchen and shared (but private) bathroom - showers, but managers of such 'hotel familiar' places have refused him because of how he looks or where he currently lives. The first question is "Who is it for?"
Apartments rent for $300 to $600 per month, plus deposit, but the catch is that someone who owns an apartment or property must put up their home as a guarantee. That and discrimination are the norm. The building where he used to live is full. Even so, I am not sure if that would be an option. It would depend on the owner.
I could have a roof over his head in a day, but he would be terrified to live among needle addicts. Those and alcoholics, a problem that Juan has put behind him. I cannot even take my phone out to shoot pictures of the places available near the train station. I travel several times a week to record his videos and try to meet and communicate with those who know him. They remind me of prisons. As soon as I can, I will try to write a proper update on his situation.

hi @done
Understand that it's not easy, see that there are problems with what you're talking about
But in the long term, there will be a solution and I hope we can help.
Seeing that many comment on the @lvj blog, maybe some of them are from the same area and possibly they know someone who is renting out. There may be a small possibility.
I'm willing to start an action for @lvj on Steemit when you think it's right to do that
