Submission text (I thought it'd appear above):

Jared Huggins lost his little savings, partly while playing poker. He became homeless, and desperate.

The community of poker players 2+2 gave him support, ideas to go forward, and countless donations. Now he's got a home again, and this is the thank you video to that community. Here's the main related thread: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/54/poker-beats-brags-varia....

This story tells quite a lot about social interactions.

Some quotes:

- (OP) Getting dressed to go out and apply [at Taco Bell] now. I'm 5 peanuts and 2 cups of water into my day.

- Do you want some money OP?
