$100, 000 is a house. They pissed that money away. Thats on them.

When you have been poor your entire life, you have no idea how to handle money.

Mark, walking away from this situation seems like the only resolution. You're purpose was to help this you did. You stated no one has ever said thank you Mark, I "thank you!" You haven't blemished your reputation as far as I'm concerned. Keep doing what you're doing, you have a continued supporter. Again thank you.

Your reputation is not tarnished with me, Mark. You're making the right decisions, too. Good for you! Keep up the good work! ...and, screw the nay sayers and scammers, including the Whitakers

You can tell Mark is fed up with all this shit and also very heart broken.

Unfortunately, I think she has dementia and probably has some extended family members lurking around asking her to call for money. Pretty much elder abuse, sadly. If you noticed the more money they got, the more family members appeared.

I just discovered you a few days ago and have watched as many segments as i can. What a wonderful, caring, generous man you are. Thank you for all you do. God bless you for all you do. You are now a permanent part of my viewing as i learn so much about humanity from your work. Thank you

This is bs, Mark is an honest, upstanding guy. Me and my friend Cory met him once when we brought some food to the Whittakers and wanted to meet them. What this guy Tyler has done is beyond despicable. I’m going to let him know to. What Larry’s daughter has done bullying Betty to get money for drugs. Larry’s daughter has ruined help for this family. It’s shameful. Don’t give up Mark, you have God on your side.

[SuperDrumwolf]

"no good deed goes unpunished" we know you're legit Mark, God bless you.

[mistiemo]

Hey Mark i live up near The Whitakers & i will be the first to tell anyone who wants to know. Your kindness to them is beyond anything our own community has done for them.
Please don't ever stop being the person you are.
I certainly appreciate you .

[cherylbritt]

I knew as soon as I watched Tyler’s video and when he tried to spin you had bad intentions with the GoFundMe it was BS. Your heart and integrity are like no other.

[marilynthoman]

Can't blame him for being fed up I have watched him for years, he is great. I couldn't do what he does I can't help people that don't show any appreciation. He is too good for his own good in this world today. I wish more people were like him God Bless you Marke.

[Phill]

Its funny how when the money started coming in all these family members started showing up as well.

[DDxChevy]

I was officially done with the Whitaker when they faked Larry’s death just to get money out of you. Absolutely disgusting people if you ask me.

[alexvargas]

You’ve been doing the right thing. Thank you for your generosity, Mark

[deefitzgerald]

This Family’s lucky day was having U Mark in their Life Your HEART is HUGE……

[scottbriggs]

When you said you’ve had no thanks off the Whitakers and they said they aren’t getting any money.. you’ve proved you’ve sent over 100k and now they won’t be getting anymore due to their ungratefulness! They had a good thing going and now they’ve ruined it. That’s what greed does.

[ezzlkwv]

It’s the right decision to address this issue. We understand Mark. If people don’t appreciate your help yes it’s a good idea to let it go.

Keep doing your meaningful work. You are raising awareness. We appreciate and we understand. Thank you for what you do.

Looking back, you should've hired a cleaning crew, organizers, etc. Once the old house was ready, bought the new home, and paid lovers to set them up. Its a shame all that money got basically wasted.

[bizarrojane]

100k in just one year?! Yet
they still live in the same dilapidated shack surrounded by garbage? That’s a shame. The one video I saw, there was a huge ATV and Larry pulled up in a big red truck that looked brand new and some of those trucks can go for 50k+ and a high end brand new ATV can go for 30k.
I wouldn’t trust these people to be able to spend 100 bucks responsibly without coming home with lottery tickets, booze and a trucker hat with boobs on it.
