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 ❤

@@judycleveland8309 that’s what I’m wondering?! Other than all Mark does (not just financially which is so heartwarmingly inspiring the fact he “takes” the family shopping, haircuts, bowling, spends quality time, etc.) & a go fund me I last knew generated like $30k that bought them a new roof, a truck, appliances etc. I would think some of the multi-millionaires out there would build them a new house/addition. I think a trailer was built for Kenny right next door, so something at least to that degree. It’s pretty nice, considering. I surely know if I won the lottery, helping this lovely family would be top on my list. Unless they just don’t want the change, idk. Anyway, I absolutely love the Whitakkers 🥰🥰🥰

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 💜
@natedaugherty6889
@natedaugherty6889 8 місяців тому
Exactly!!! I HATE that kids can even consume that garbage ass fake family...When we are young and grow up poorish we pretty much all want to be rich and fly and we want this mostly because its what you constantly hear being programed to you.. its so so so sick and now.. these days.. they are programing kids to be trans, weak, passive etc because they know with tech/AI they wont need as many people.. One thing I have always noticed about this family well mostly betty is that you can tell she was not loved by her parents and she wasnt allowed to find it and then she stuck with raising all of the others who dont speak and I think her whole life almost passed by before she has heard someone speak to her like mark does and asks her about her family and how things are going because if someone watches that interaction for the first time without know the story you would think she is like a bitch because of the way she will answer things.. she pretty much doesnt know how to speak with someone as if she knows they care and she cares about them if that makes sense.. I notice this in every video and somehow I missed this video last year or maybe I fell asleep watching it because I never knew Timmy was Lorains kid from rape.. that blew me away.. or it got mentioned a few years ago early on and i didnt put two and two together.. They talk about her getting rape sorta like meh it happens.. makes you wonder if the police were involved in that ever or not.. I think Timmy is old enough to pre-date any kind of DNA testing for when that happened long ago because it was not used until the 90s I believe but my gut says based on statistics and especially who these people are it was a family member or close family friend..I forget the % but its like almost always the case.. and we know she wasnt at the bars or clubs and how would she be out and about or anything.. If we knew the dates and who was what age at that time and who was still alive and who was living in the same place etc it could probably get figured out but Im sure that family knows or they have an idea. I wanted to say Ray but Timmy looks nothing like him but he does kinda look like Kenneth and im not certain of this but I kinda feel like you have to part way be a little functional to be able to rape someone and get them preg but also be dumb enough at the same time and there could be one or maybe two others that could have fit that profile over those years but Kenneth is pretty much the only one that I have seen around on all the videos that I think could possibly be that guy.. but I also this with their ages.. how far along in life this family is at this point they have forgot about it mostly and have not cared about it forever and if it became some big thing which it wont at this point but if it were I think it would be worse on them

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 think a lot of us started watching this out of sheer morbid curiosity, and I wasn't sure how I felt about Mark documenting all of this to begin with. But wow, having watched a few of these videos now you can really see how happy there are to have a familiar face over! The dogs look so well looked after (look at those waggy tails!) and you can tell how much they love eachother as a family, even in very few words. Ray is literally a ray of sunshine too - you can tell he understands just about everything and I actually feel like his social skills have improved since you guys came into their life! What started as morbid curiosity has turned into something that's actually very feel-good. These people can't help the cards they were dealt with in life, but seeing how they are with eachother is honestly so wholesome. I've seen 'normal' familes that have it all, that aren't anywhere near as happy and close as the Whittakers are. Also love how Timmy is always doing word searches and doing educational activities that he obviously enjoys. I think we can tall take something away from how the Whittakers live their lives. Absolutely love these guys and I hope for nothing but the best for them xxx

Not to mention none of them seem to have hygiene and do you know what kind of issues poor hygiene can cause in a community?

I have to admit I’m a little worried about Elle. I mean when one of the Whittaker‘s have to show you how to open up a can of biscuits because you’re over there trying to twist it to open it and then not even still knowing how to do it and you’re hitting the bottom of it like it’s a ketchup bottle for the biscuits to fall out really girl !! 😂. But..she was a good sport.

I’m scared to death with each new video, there will be bad news. I keep Praying it all stays positive. My Daddy is from Bluefield and always talked about getting out to get away from the coal mines and poverty. I’ve never been to visit, tho I have always wanted to because it’s such beautiful country and I’ve spent time in other parts of the Appalachian mtns. Thank you again for sharing this wonderful family and beautiful country with us.
