Thank you. That means a lot to me
Awesome interview
Thank you. That means a lot to me.
Nice Lady hope she gets help 💕
I agree. I was lucky to get an interview from her.
Why won't any of her children let her live with them? I just don't understand this at all. Even sleeping on a couch would be better than sleeping on the street, or in a tent. If they don't want her boyfriend there, okay, let him sleep in the tent and visit him. I just don't get this at all.
I agree. It's sad situation. I still see her around town some times.
I call it the "trump effect." Trump has given citizens permission to defy the law. He does it every day. He has taught men that it's okay to disrespect women. The list goes on.
I agree with that
She needs to heal from the loss of her dad. She went right back to the initial loss of him, I could see in her body language. 4 years she should be able to speak about it without reliving it. Dealing with the constant chaos of life on the streets has likely made it that she cannot properly grieve and heal.
I agree. Thank you for your comment
Thank you for posting this. I'm recently retired and I want to plan a trip to Northern California the summer after next. I want to finally see some of the iconic and gorgeous country where this elusive creature is said to reside, even though living in Ohio we are also a state where they (if they do exist, anyhow) are populous as well. Much appreciated.
No problem. I had a fun time exploring the place. Thanks for your comment
Everyone knows better 😅
I agree.

WHAT A sad commentary on the world's richest country. And all those illegal immigrants think America is the best. What a surprise they will get.
Thank you for your comment
Our cruel culture. Children should be caring for their parents. Family should be helping family. Since she's on SSI she can contribute to her daughter's household in return for a roof and bed. Eastern cultures still do this right...hope karma gets those who refuse to help elderly parents...at least know YOUR kids are watching and will model after you someday. In other words, this could very well be future you.
I 100% agree. Thanks for commenting
Her boyfriend shouldn’t have let her be homeless with him.Together they should take all the help they can get,to get work and accommodation.
I agree. Addiction can be pretty brutal some times.
God bless her and her family. My family and I been in same situation. My mom's name is Debbie too. Wish we could help them
I agree. Thank you for your comment
This woman acts like she is on drugs.
Camp out by the methadone clinic is not a good start.
I see. Thanks for your comment
Most of these homeless are there because of bad choices. No sympathy from me. Say NO to drugs, get a job work 30 40 years to get a pension. Stop being a burden, give not take for once in your life..
Thank you for your comment
A vast number are there for psychological reasons whether it be PTSD, a schizoeffective disorder or simply insurmountable depression. The actual number of homeless people suffering severe psychological ailments is around 25% as compared to 4-6% of the rest of the population. It can be hard to hold a job when all you want to do is kill yourself at the will of all the voices in your head. Further, speaking from experience, the drugs come second for a lot of these people as a way of treating what was there to begin with. Not to say there arent those who just got addicted and lost everything, but we have to remember addiction is a disease like any other and even if it starts with one bad decision, most people would be unable to resist doing it again after the first time they try hard drugs; especially those used intravenously. You are more than likely just fortunate on the draw of brain configuration and mental state, and probably also of financial freedom. Im guessing you didnt have to want for much growing up and youve probably never struggled to pay doctors bills just to get meds that make you feel like shit. Youve probably never been in danger of freezing to death or experienced the challenges of trying to get a job or place to live after getting either evicted or charged with a felony. Basically your life is on easy mode and youre talking shit on people whos lives are far more complex and challenging than yours probably ever will be. Making generalizations about entire groups of people like that says a lot more about you than the people youre talking about.
Ŵow, as a social worker, some has made poor choices. However some had fallen into bad circumstances. There but for the grace of God go I.
That is a saying from AA. Once again bad choices bad stupid people the rest of us are expected to care for.. @@patricedhanis-rouse3777
People who think that every homeless is on drugs and deserves to be out there I pray that you never be put in that situation because you are clearly ignorant!!
Learn how to speak Spanish you can get everything you need for free. I had two strokes all I have is social security 120 dollars a month I was denied any food stamps or EBT card.I'm 70 and disabled. Good luck America.
Thank you for your comment
I had more comments but I don't want TH-cam to ban me again.tx
Does she have any skills? maybe she could get a job? or someone on this site may have a position for her.
I'm not sure. I still see her around town some times.
😢 I am also going to be homeless soon
That is really sad. Hopefully you can get some assistance
I'm sorry to hear that you'll be in my prayers. It's hard getting back on your feet I was homeless last year and barely getting by now
You know, they make a lot of money panhandling (100 a day or more) if they're doing it on busy roads 😮. You didn't ask her though. 🤔
That's a good point. I should ask them next time.
Not everyone make 😢 sadly
@@explorewithtonyluong my ex had a worker that would live on the streets. There were days he brought in $200. He straightened out and now has a lucrative business.
It is selfishly greedy to rob pan handling people.
I agree
They steal from each other all the time. A woman put down her family size bag of whataburger, turned around to talk to someone and a man walked up thinking he hit the jackpot at the sack just laying there under a tree full of burgers and started taking them. No shame.
How does she have a phone when she's HomeLess??????? DON'T EVER GIVE MONEY TO THESE PEOPLE.
Thank you for your comment
They are called Obama phones...they pass them out for free to low income folk.I myself do not use cell phones - there is a reason they pass them out for free... you know like how they pass out free needles? If it's bad for us the guv gives out freely.
How old are you 2? All homeless, low income, Government Benifits, Seniors and disabled are entitled to free phones Genius. Thank those who complain that created the Federal Program.. REPUBLICANS.
There are free phones thru food stamps!!
@@sexoffendertrump Republican/Democrat Pepsi/Coke = same poison
Can't she find find a place to live
I hope she has something
It's also pathetic that your cousin having an estate sale and I had lost everything
Thanks for your comment
This is a man. Not a woman. Has facial hair.
I've know lots of women with facial hair. You evidently haven't been around too many places in your life if you've never seen a woman with facial hair.
It's a woman.
Thanks for your comment
That is a woman. Promise ya.
@@jacklow9611 Thank you Jack. For the life of me I can’t see a woman. But I believe you. ✌️
I don't want to say nothing bad about her but when she is at an ATM and a homeless guy comes up to her saying how much he likes her why didn't she question his motives?
Thanks for your comment
She literally said a couple of times shes not on drugs and I believe her.
Thanks for your comment
LOL not at this moment..
i really feel for those folks
I agree. Thanks for the comment
Meth is one hell of a drug.
I agree. Thanks for your comment
can thank the cartels & biden for allowing millions of them to stay in the US
Great work Tony, Please be carefulout there!!!
Thank you. I will.
Folks' mentaliness is very serious. Be careful with escalated tones to a person's and your life. Don't play with them. Call 911. Stay calm during the conversation that's out of control.
Or walk away
Thanks for the comment
I agree
'Promo sm' 😻
Thank you for your comment
I was up there last week and I didn't see here
I see her camp across the freeway entrance on 14th st. And she's walking around that area.
Thanks joebama!
Definitely. For sure.😊
SAD
I agree.
Was a nice place years ago. But ever since a lot of people from various places moved there. It changed and is no longer a Mayberry type of feeling.
Thank you for that comment. I'm glad I went up there to make this video. I was always curious about that town and fun name
He been itching his nose to much
Yeah. Definitely can tell.
Why is it suddenly my dream to run amongst the clan of the outty belly buttons??? ❤️
That's too funny. He's out there living his best life!
@@explorewithtonyluong Even I want to live his best life 😆
The saw mill was the reason we were there
Cool. Thanks buddy. Must be hot about this time of year.
Hey Tony, do you know a homeless man named Jason who hangs around the Safeway store in Arcata?
. That Jason. I will try to get an interview with him. Hes a character.
He is the one who used to be friends with my husband Daniel, the security guard.
UPDATE Just saw her walking with her boyfriend the other day they got a place and a new babie
That's good to hear. Thank you
What? Do you know something I don't because I see her every morning, noon and night and that is absolutely not true. She is a good person and a friend but she still is and has been homeless and they never had a kid. I'm sure she would still appreciate some we*d and cig*s too and she loves Ice so drop her off a bag or two. The girl never asks for much and helps her fellow homeless ppl out, so I'm sure she'd really appreciate it.
Philosophy always talks from the mouth
Thanks buddy
And the bedbugs! Any ideas?
Lol. That's funny
Entomology is the understanding of words and homeless vs homefree is interesting!
I agree. Thanks for the comment
