Can't watch it. A cynic by nature I'm pretty sure the video guy is using them for his own profit. They agree, and benefit. But even in his help, he benefits.
That said, without him they ain't getting chit.
I don't like using those folks as entertainment. I know people like the Whittakers. Not quite as bad as the three worst. But easily like the other, and worse.
Also, my brother has been handicapped my whole life the result of a tractor accident. But I've seen the sideways looks, people mumbling and staring.

not entirely sure if or what he makes off of his channel
However, last year he -through Go Fund Me collected $30,000 for the family and that went into their new roof, new bathroom remod and some other needed repairs.
Then this walmart trip, no doubt they probably spent a couple thousand in there that day plus the van rental and logistics of getting them there.
His next goal is to buy them a complete new double-wide trailer and set it up next door on an empty lot.
Many other people whom he’s interviewed, he’s gotten them monetary help. Single moms, druggies, and one young girl he got her set up a college tuition paid.

Slummy, Good to hear he is doing so much. The poor bastids can use some help. Still can't personally watch it, but good is coming of it.
Nephew's fiance is from West-by-God, it's fun with the short leg, pointy ear, tooth brush, free cheese jokes.
Pipped in sunlight...
Nice girl.
What s funny as hell is she is from Morgantown. A decent sized city. They have all the restaurant franchises, stores, all kind of stuff. I'm sitting here in Nowheresville calling her a HillBilly. She comes from a city and has a degree.
