  • Diet lifestyle (low carb) could help Ken’s vision to get better. Just keep him off from sugar, ultra processed foods, and breads. Ken is hopeful now and no stress with the good progress of his situation (because of you) that’s may be he is inspired to get better. Thank you Q Adventures for your big heart for Ken ❤❤❤ !!!! Keep safe and God bless always!!!!

  • Thanks Derek for being a good Samaritan to Ken! I just donated $25 to your paypal account a couple of minutes ago with the name Mary and last name starts with S. to help Ken get better. He’s looking and talking better already. What a difference you’ve already made in his life. You’ve given him hope for a better life. Proverbs 19:17 – Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.

  • I cant wait for Ken to be home where he wants to be…God Bless You Derrick for doing all these🙏❤️

  • Derrick, you said “human decency and kindness” rings in my ears, God bless you abundantly and the lady🙏🏿

  • This is the very BEST video i have ever seen on YOUTUbe- Q Adventure thanks to you so much and Bernadette too

  • Hi Derek, Ken is a bit younger than me, i’m in my 80s, and i think it’s great what you are doing for Ken, but, i don’t think Ken can grasp what you are trying to tell him, it’s too much for him. I understand it’s for your YT views but Ken obviously looks confused, and i’m thinking it all might be a bit overwhelming for him. Slow it down a bit please. Bob NZ.

  • I’m glad you sorted it all out for him peace and love to you and your family. Keep the good work up. You are a number one show in the world everybody likes you. You will be famous person soon and you will be helping everybody out who you can help for maybe one day someone will bless you to buy you a big house and plenty of money in your bank account. Peace and love to you

  • Relinquishing your green card does not change your eligibility to receive U.S. Social Security retirement benefits. Once you have given up your green card, you will be treated as a non-U.S. citizen or “alien” and classified as a non-resident alien (NRA).

  • That’s what I said before. No current address on file and no way to contact him and no active bank account, therefore no check. I hope that they have his phone number also.

  • He can renew his green card. I’m sure it won’t affect his Social Security as it’s his contributions while working. Just refer to the US Embassy on his case and they’ll contact the SS where he resides.

  • I start to feel pity for that old senile man. Send him back to UK, and stop benefit on his misery! He are sick and need hospital care. And he will NEVER return to Philippines.

    • I’m waiting for my family member to get back to me regarding medical and social welfare help once he arrived in the UK.

  • Oh ken😢😔…sir Q adventures, thank you so much for the extra patience and care u’ve been giving this poor elderly. My dad passed away a few months ago, few days before my bday. My dad was scammed too just almost a yr now

  • Ken should be taking vitamin supplements A rice diet has given him beriberi Use benfotiamine B1 And all the other vitamin And vitamin D Good luck

  • Ken should have an email address for communications with the bank and social security. He can also sign up for social security access. I’m also receiving US Social Security I find it easy to check updated info re my SS benefits.

  • OMG Q, Never thought I would meet an Angel! Your his Angel Bro. I knew, not all Angels are White. Hahahahaha Angels come in all shades. Thanks GOD.

  • Soft diet maybe is good for him as his digestion is quite weak. Tinolang manok is also good for him or sinigang na isda. He needs healthy broth. Kudos to this kind couple helping him out, God bless you and your family.

  • Hello, this Elio from Dipolog City. If Ken get his Social Security back and want to travel back to his Country, may be a problem. Checks will be deposited in a Philippine account, right? He need to go in person every month to the Bank and get his money. Once he travel how he will get his money? He will have to report to Social security his new address and open a bank account in England. He need to make sure to have cash until this happens. How about to get the money in the Philippine Bank once he leave the Country? He said wants to come back to Philippines. With his benefits restored, no need to leave this wonderful Country. Excellent hospital and doctors are right here. No money to buy food is his big problem. Look the improvements now that he is eating everyday and healthy food.

  • Also high dose Riboflavin Phosphate B2 He has all the symptoms of beriberi and myopathy Can be treated this way

  • He looks dehydrated before that why he has impaired cognition.Yes,definitely it has something to do with good nutrition intake and sufficient fluid intake, he is looking much much better now.Thanks to a person like you with a lot of compassion to others.

  • It was great seeing his face when you told him his Social security benefits are sorted out
    Well done Derek & Paul & JR & Bernidette ✌️😎🤗

    • @ziggarillo  we where always on about his pension obviously can’t apply for benefits when your not here living. Let’s get him home 1st, cross thar bridge, he will be classified as priority due to health. You being ex-nhs surely can tell there is alot of health issues there!! Eyesight/hearing/incontinent/lots of lumps appearing all over torso list goes on.

  • Hi Derek, I haven’t caught up on Ken’s progress lately. I did find out that Social Security sent out a bunch of proof of life notices last year and this year because they slacked on everything during covid. If you did not respond to the letter they cut-off the payments. Many elderly people had problems because of this letter, especially retirees living outside the U.S.

    • Needs to make who is the person is gonna meet him at the airport in case he goes home.by the way he don’t have family in U K Nd why he’s going there for.just saying

  • I will continue to pray for his safety and for the lady to continue to help him with all she does may God bless KEN and everyone that is truly helping not harming him !

  • Sending Massive Love to you Ken from Australia ❤xoxo I Pray you get home safe and sound and Thankyou Derek for bringing Kens story to light.. God bless ❤

  • Getting Ken reinstated for his Social Security is a Major achievement as your friendly kindness in just listening and being his friend and advocate literally helped getting his situation well on his way. His next hurdle is documents to get a bank account as either BPI or BDO or Chase and even Citibank are good for Brit Expats. As i would get it all set up with a $1000 peso account so he can also get a bank card. The Alien certificate or registration identity card will be the thing to work on. Derek you have cut thru this man’s confusion and assisted him like a true friend as you have gone so far above and beyond it just shows what a Kind, patient and caring person you are and I am so proud to be part of the Q-community. Writing it all down for him may also help as some of the details get lost in his distractions and it might help him greatly just as this video documentation will also. You did more for him in a few hours than he was able to do in a year. Your wisdom, street sense and life experience of even thinking of the San Diego routing number shows thinking on your feet. Man I am so rooting for Ken and You as you deserve to go viral as you have in your viewers hearts. Guled to our chairs awaiting the Next episode of the Adventure

    • He can get his US SSA sent to a bank in Britain. Which is where he should keep it. If he goes back to the PI he can use something like wise to have it sent to the PI. Wise even has a auto pay. Either way he should be in a assisted Living setting.

  • He has all the symptoms of beriberi and Riboflavin definitely Aii minerals including potassium All B numbers up to 12

  • WELLS FARGO will deactivate bank account after 2 years of inactivity. Afterwards, they send written notification to the address on file. If no response, they will close the account and send the funds to the government/Treasury’s unclaimed assets department. ken will have to claim the funds. Sometimes this can be done online. He will need to verify his identity with an address and other information related to the account. This is how it works in the USA. I assume that there is a similar process in the UK

  • Praying for you Ken hopefully get back to uk soon get the treatment you need from NHS David from Scotland ♥️

  • You are so awesome Derek, Thank you for taken care of Mr Ken i wish he could stay over there for a little while longer after he gets his social security back, because he doesn’t have a family to go back to we all know Mr Ken not going to be around forever, i wish you could be Ken beneficiary and you just give that lady some money for food and rent etc and then hold on the rest for his doctors bills and his funeral when the times comes.Mr Ken needs plenty of bake chicken and mashed potatoes and spinach and beets etc 🙏🏽Thanks again Derek for all you do your doing a great job!!!❤❤❤👍🏼

  • great work, he should take care of fines, stay, and get bank account. we figured it was address. uk will be a major issue. Thank you for helping him.

  • I am so happy to hear that can is doing very well now he looks much brighter.
    I have a question for those of you out there in the know about immigration. I have a lengthy over stay, 19 years. I’m American and want to pay but have heard of attorneys approaching immigration and getting a reduced fine. One man i know paid 50,000 for a 12 year overstay. If any of you out there are an attorney or know of one that could negotiate a deal for me I am willing to talk. I have a valid passport and some cash and am receiving social security monthly. I have absolutely no family in the USA as they have all passed. I am 65 and in love with the woman who saved my life.
    I am living with the woman I’m going to marry and wish to remain here in the Philippines until the end. My reason for doing this now is that I want to get a life insurance policy on myself to give her something when I die but i cannot get one here without an ACR card. So if I can get that started it would make me feel much better that I can leave her and her kids something. PM me if you can help thank you.
    I am not asking for money. Maraming salamat po

  • If he has a Barclays Bank account in the UK, they have a US Barclays. That might be a good bank for his direct deposit of his social security. He might have problems if he travels to the UK for a checkup and surgery. It would be easier to access his money if it’s in Barclays Bank. Another good option is to open an account with Charles Schwab, because he could use their debit card at any ATM in the world, they don’t charge a fee and they reimburse whatever fee the ATM charges.

  • He mentioned something about checking his money in the bank and said a guy was helping him with that. You need to find out about that, maybe it’s some kind of fraud. The guy might be telling him he has money in the account but it’s all fake. I’m not saying it’s fake, just that you or someone needs to make sure everything is OK.

    • For sure. Something to look into. But it got real late and I was getting incoherent. I just chose to prioritize his social security benefits due to time difference and it makes a majority of his income

  • You are definitely an angel sent to help Ken who can’t do it alone. God bless you and the lady helping him and bless your family too!

  • I am so glad those were tears of happiness from ken May God Bless Him in every way ❤❤❤ Great video Derek

  • The red dots that Ken is experiencing in his eyes could be due to high blood pressure, or it could be a symptom of diabetes. An optometrist can check his eyes and see if he has burst blood vessels.

  • Geez I feel so sad for Ken. Getting old is hard but having no family to turn to is a killer. You are an amazing man Derek. He really needs help. Keep doing what you are doing for this lovely man, God will reward you. ❤

    • Your second sentence makes sense indeed. To a certain degree quite a number of people are going through this.

    • once you live in America there’s no problem there’s so many home care that hospitals can bring you there a lot of caregivers to take care of you. once he live in care home his money goes to care home.including food medicine medical coz he applied for medical part A&B I did that for my husband.

  • I just want to add the ensure drinks are amazing my mother suffers from a eating disorder and uses ensure drinks she relays on them alot in her daily life to maintain her food supplement it increased her stability and probably saved her life so a great addition for him well done on that because you made a great choice there ❤️

    • Thank you for validating my purchase of choice. There are off brands available, but under the circumstances, I preferred to go with Ensure

    • @qadventures  yes verry good choice they are alot of flavour variety aswell I agree with you verry well done on everything your really leading the way for him and have helped so much already and gone beyond to make sure everything is okay for him god bless 🙌

  • I think 3 scoops of Ensure is better for Ken. Thanks again Derek for your kindness and everything that you do for Ken ❤❤, GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS 🙏 🍀🙌🤗🇵🇭💖

  • Blood cells and tissue suspended in the vitreous can give the impression that there are spots in the field of vision. Some of the conditions that may cause bleeding into the vitreous include diabetic retinopathy, central retinal vein occlusion, age-related macular degeneration, trauma etc.

    • @Celtic Fairie He has made some NIC contributions to the UK pension in his early work life so yes he is, but not a full pension he has entitlement to a partial UK pension which he has been getting

  • I’m glad he is getting help. He is such a fragile person that can be taken advantaged of. Derek, your an Angel.

    • And he is also in a very desperate situation where he is forced to trust any and everybody with a slight prospect of help

    • Derek you and your girlfriend is God sent to Ken and you really helped him get better and all the concern you get him ! Thank you and hope he gets what he needs .. and also Ken’s caregiver Bernadette and she’s very good and helpful to him! where can I help maybe sent something even a little help 🙏

  • You Derek are a Saint just for your information he may need a dollar account to receive his social security you can set it up when you do the pesos account

    • I am in a very bad position. I really don’t want access to his personal affairs but he does not have living relatives to help him

  • I heard 2 scoops a day better to jave 1 scoop 2x a day like morning dose and afernnon or evening dose always better to distribute nutrient intake More than only once if you give to doses , it’s why we generally eat 3 meals a day not just one big meal intake of nutrientsare better spread over time.

  • His green card having expired has got nothing to do with his social security benefits. All he needs is to provide proof of life for him to restore his benefits.

    • Yes. It’s done. It was a crash course for me but it’s restored. Just need 5 days for ss to update their records and then update bank account

  • Derek I sent you a paypal donation to help with food for Ken and your other charitable activities. I already posted a message about this but I don’t see the message (youtube deleted it?). Anyhow posting again. Thanks for your time and effort selflessly helping others.

    • Yes, Alistair. I received your $50 PayPal donation and am grateful for the contribution. It takes a community and I am glad this Q Community is functional

  • Thank you Sir for being kind and helpful to Mr. Ken hope that he can go back home … God Bless Sir Derrick❤🙏🙏🙏

  • Thanks Derek for helping Ken 👍It’s clear already how much you’ve helped him, just little things like ensuring he has the vitamins and minerals he needs in his diets have improved his health so much, plus you give him hope and optimism which will help his mental health so much 👍

  • I got Goose-bumps all over me when Ken said” IT IS A MIRACLE”. it is INDEED a MIRACLE. My prayers are with Ken and all those helping him. BIG UPS to you all🥰🥰🥰🥰

  • You’ve confused his “UK STATE Pension” with “Social Security” in the UK they are different things.
    If you can get his US Social Security and his UK State Pension paid to him in the Philippines he would be better off staying there.
    He’s going to drop into a mess of red tape and confusion after being out of the UK for 34 yrs.

  • I lived in San Diego very close to El Cajon only 20 minutes . I hope ken will get he’s pension back.Dereck you are sent God.

    • @Celtic Fairie didnt know he left the UK that long ago……he wouldnt want to go back there now…get the SS sorted and stay in Paradise.

  • US green cards have to be renewed every 10 years. There are several categories of immigrants. I know for a FACT that at least refugees can go this late and renew their green card without any problem, they just cannot work until then. Now, I don’t know if being more than 6 months out of the country could affect that benefit somehow.
