When Ray put his arms out for a hug it warmed my heart 🤗 it's so great to see the rapor mark has with the Whitaker's after all these years.

It took one man to change the lives of so many. Mark, you have all the markings of a saint and you have opened a window for the rest of us to look at what acceptance and humanity is all about. You took a family and lifted them to another level of happiness. You have a caring nature that is pure of heart and the Whittaker family know this too. I have seen many of your videos and you maintain the same standards with every single person you are with. People like you are incredibly rare and I am just so very glad I got to witness what you do. When I see this family, I don't see disability or mental health issues, I see a family unity that is strong and supportive. They love each other and if you are lucky enough to be invited into thier lives, it is a lifetime bond.

The way Timmy never stops smiling makes me appreciate life more. Even just sitting at the table with a coloring book he had a wide smile on his face ❤

It's interesting how the first meeting with the Whitaker's, everything seemed so dark and almost had a scary feel obviously due to their uncertainty. Now, however, they and even their home seems so much brighter. It's nice to see them smile and have a good time but it's nicer to see them know that they can trust someone. They've undoubtedly led tough lives and have been abused by this cruel world but have found a friend in Mark. People may laugh but these are some of the most kind-hearted and genuine people on the planet. They deserve to find some peace and happiness out of life .

Watching Betty play with that Baby and the smile on her face is priceless… Her heart is pure gold! Love this family

[LorrieB]

Ray hugging Mark right away, I lost it. I’m really glad that their younger family members come see them, it’s so obvious how they all light up with a baby around. I’m incredibly grateful that viewers come visit and are kind to them. Betty is clearly ecstatic over her new friends and they deserve every bit of love being shown to them. Thanks for the update and all that you do for them, Mark. I have fallen in love with them and have to rewatch their videos every few months when I start missing them.

Balloon game guy was a rock star!
Thank you Mark for giving this family something they'll never forget.

Lauren is an absolute sweetheart. She has a heart of gold. You can see she cares so much for these people, especially Timmy. You are a good person Lauren, be proud of who you are and what you mean to the Whittakers.

I love how Mark is actually friends with them. He teases them a little and understands them I love it.

The difference between this visit, and one of Mark's first times by their porch, is just night and day. Back then, they were in soiled clothes, and barely anyone was able to speak a word, they were so derelict. Now they have their grandsons over, Ray's beaming proud of his new shoes, and they're Much more outgoing.
You've helped them so much Mark, and I'm happy to have been along for the ride thus far as a subscribing member. Thank you for all the great that you do!

I'm humbled by how well they take care of each other. Mark thank you for getting the pup to the vet and all you have done for this family.

[terrymabrey]

Im so glad you help this family. They have such big smiles when you show up. Thank you for all you do for them

[bonnie]

I was in tears watching this family enjoying themselves at this fair, ....the highest form of intelligence is kindness. Thank you Mark.

I am a 53 yo grown ass man sitting here with watered up eyes and fist pumping through the entire 2nd half of this video. I am so proud of the work you continue to do to help this family. If nothing else you show the world that one Man can affect so many in a wonderful way.

God Bless You Brother.

[crewchief]

Timmy has it going on. Gets to hang out with a pretty girl and ride these rides. It’s awesome seeing how much fun they all had at the fair. Mark you have blessed that family with so much because of your project.

I was cheering and clapping when they all were throwing the darts and winning!! Lorraine's excitement brought me to tears! She didn't even want to throw it at first, she kept trying to get Betty to throw it. When she threw it the second time and popped the balloon and pulled Betty's shirt in excitement was so freaking beautiful. I'm in tears at how excited she was! She has come a long way since the first videos. And I am so happy that they all are experiencing things in life that they would not have experienced if Mark wasn't in their lives. Thank you Mark for all that you continue to do for this amazing family!!

[danielleterese]

I love when we get to see the Whittaker's!!! The change from when Mark first met them to now is amazing😊❤❤❤ They are extremely deserving of everything that they have gotten from Mark, & the gofundme. It is beautiful to see ppl actually appreciate what they are being given. They are such a sweet family!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[caleb]

I’m literally only 1 minute into this video, and the fact that ray came up and gave you a hug just says it all. He cares about you mark so much!

[linaleblanc]

I love seeing Lorraine smile this way. This was such a treat for them. My ❤ goes out to Lorraine. She's been through so much. Anyway, I'm really glad they had this happy day
