  • Timmy and Lorraine go to church with my wife myself and our two sons where my brother preaches at. My youngest son was just born on October 2nd, 2022.. just two weeks ago. Timmy and Lorraine bought the baby a 4 pack wash cloth set, a pack of receiving blankets, and a 10 piece baby kit that has basically all the necessities a baby needs. Nail clippers, hair brush, rubber ducky, bottles, bottle brush, I could go on about what all they bought for him. My point is, these are very kind people who understand more things than what people think they do. We care alot about them and I just want to publicly say thank you to Timmy and Lorraine and the family for the gifts they bought is. Very sweet people, misunderstood but very great people who are very happy.

    Something really stands out from the first video to now. They each have a spark in their eye they didn't have in the first video. They each have a smile now. I can't help but believe it is due to your friendship and kindness/generosity and of course those who donate to them has helped immensely as well. I think having a friend that randomly shows up as you do, gives them something to look forward to. Never knowing what sweet suprise you'll have or do next is so wonderful for them and from what I can tell they don't ever even expect anything. Putting food in their fridge and freezer has to have had a huge impact on their happiness/energy. Getting them out for a shopping trip, the doc for Ray. Mark you and your supporters have done so much for them, you are an incredible person ❤
  • This story is so heartbreaking on so many levels. These 15 kids were dealt such a hard hand in life but yet they survived by sticking together and caring for each other.

    Betty has a heart of gold. She has given her life for her family and doesn’t think anything of it. So sweet of her to give your assistant squash from their garden.

    The Whittaker's seem to be happier than they were before and jovial. It looks like Ray knee is healed. Lorraine is speaking more audibly. Betty is looking happy. Even the dogs are excited and happy bcuz they are constantly barking. Their brother is visiting them and seemed more involved. Ray is so happy with his coffee ☕. Thank you Mark for updating the Whittaker's family. They are really doing so much better since your first visit with them. Keep helping them they really appreciate you

    Ray ADORES Mark. He was almost saying “sit here, sit here!” while he was patting the cushion trying to get Mark to sit by him. Then on the porch he tried to give Mark his pancake! So cute. Mark is the Whitakers’ guardian angel and patron saint :)
  • @lorenakato6348
    You can tell Ray really likes mark. He always wants him to sit next to him. I love this family.thank you so much for introducing them to us. God bless them and you.

    Found myself rewatching these videos. I'm pondering why people admire families like the Kardashians who seem to have everything yet really have nothing. Here is this family who appear to have nothing but infact have everything. They truly are living their best life. Their love for eachother is immeasurable.. You can't fake or buy that. Wishing them all the very best 💜
  • Could you please do a Christmas video with this family? I think we would all love to see them enjoy Christmas
  • I feel like Lorain has been speaking a lot more because she sees you as family now. You definitely notice a change in everyone's behavior around you. Their eyes sparkle when they look at you.
  • @MaximusMerideus
    Betty has to be sibling of the year. What a wonderful sister to look after her family for whom she gave her entire life. I just hope all the donations can give he and the rest of the Whittakers a little extra joy and ease from what seems to have been a hard life. To me, this is what social media and the internet does best, shine light on good be and allow all the rest of the good people to pitch in and help out their fellow human. after watching these videos and the aftermath of support, maybe there's hope for us yet as a species.
  • I love Betty’s voice. I also notice everyone in this family is always smiling. I am so intrigued by them. You can tell they all understand rays language. Lorraine is getting more and more comfortable around the camera to where she’s talking more. I love to watch this family.
  • @MartinATL
    I love how every time Mark turns around, Ray is sitting/standing in a new spot 😂
  • @jojokrako7818
    Mark has pretty much became one of the family! It's great to see everyone's demeanor lightened up with more smiles, and Timmy and Lorraine talking more.
  • Ray screaming "Heeeeyyyyy" at the dog for trying to get into his plate at 13:25 made me laugh until I cried 😂. I made a 5 minute loop of it and made it my alarm clock sound 😂. Ray wakes me up every mornin
  • @Mecca1204
    Ray has a lot of love and respect for Mark. When he pulled a chair out and then proceeded to lean on the table to signal to Mark that he pulled the seat for him was soooo sweet.
  • @bw7754
    I find it heart warming that Ray has attached himself to you, whenever you aren’t sitting close enough he lets you know 😂 I really hope somehow everything works out for this family.
  • You can tell they are good people by how well they treat the dogs. Those are some happy dogs.
  • I'll admit, I was pretty disturbed discovering this family at first. Now, after watching all the videos, I have fallen in love with every single one of them. What beautiful souls. There is something so incredibly special about Ray. Your assistant Elle is amazing, seems so comfortable which I'd imagine would be difficult in that environment. God bless all of you.

    i love seeing how happy Ray is to have a familiar face come over, pulling over a chair for him and then looking over with a big grin on his face 😊
