      Just think of yourself or a any female relative or friend, who cannot walk down a street safely- so horrible for all the homeless women. One just froze to death in the small town I live in.

      @MadDilla ATCQstarr maybe if men werent such disgusting beasts they wouldn't rape women. It's all their fault. You CAN'T blame anyone for getting raped. The rapist is always guilty
      EDIT
      Alright well everyone got this comment the wrong way.
      when i say MEN I'm referring to the stereotype that our society and patriarchy create. I'm not saying men on the whole. And anyways, instead of feeling so hurt and saying "not all men" or those stupid coments, if you are a man and call yourself a feminist ally or you want to, you should be breaking that stereotype in your everyday life. Don't stay quiet. Speak up, your friends, your family. Do that

      Hason Morris they still have owners even if they’re empty and would have to be purchased, renovated and etc. A lot would have to go into it, you can’t just move in there because it would be illegal plus there would be no electric or water. I understand you’re trying to be helpful though.

    When I was out of high school, I started working in a McDonald’s. I met this homeless lady who lived in a literal box with no air conditioning, no nothing besides her belongings. She would always come in. She managed to get a job there with me. We became good friends and boy she’d tell me stories about homelessness long story short she ended up staying there for about 2 years and became a store manager. Now she lives in a home in Texas, has recently married, and is living her best life.

      Mariama Diallo literally all it takes to be homeless is living in a state or city where cost of living is super high (example Boston Massachusetts where I’m from a 2 bedroom apartment with nothing included is anywhere from 1,000 - 2,000 a month) and you losing your job and your rent being raised for you to be homeless it can happen in an instant or blink of an eye. I wouldn’t wish homelessness on my worst enemy. Think about what can happen to you before you shit talk because becoming homeless can happen to anyone at anytime

    When I was a kid, my dad became homeless, even though he had a job. He slept in his car and still went to work and took care of himself. He would still come pick me up every other weekend to spend the day together. I know even at a young age how much he needed to spend time with me during those rough times. It broke my heart to see him in this situation but we made the best of those time. He never complain about anything, and always made sure I had a good time. It's been many years now and he has a better job and a home to go back to. Homelessness can happen to anybody, even the most hard working and kindhearted people like my dad.

    My heart goes out to these women. I was homeless for about a year, in Washington state, living in a truck with the man who was sex trafficking me.
    People want to judge and say "your nails are clean. not homeless". "you have makeup. not homeless" "you have tampons. not homeless" "you have a cell phone. not homeless" but having those resources is not the same as a home. I had a phone and a kindle fire from when I was NOT homeless before I lost my job--I kept them while I was homeless. Had no money for service--I could only connect in a local cafe or fast food place that had public wifi, maybe a grocery store. Used a wifi text messaging service to communicate when I could. My trafficker would steal me makeup so I looked better for dates. Did any of that erase the reality of me going home to a truck every night, with two broken windows, under piles of sleeping bags in the winter, still shivering underneath? No.
    Furthermore, being homeless is in of itself a shame-bringing situation. I loved to cover my face with makeup too, when my trafficker stole it from the store. I wanted to hide as much of myself from the world as I could, until I could no longer recognize my own face. I didn't want to be me anymore.
    If you've never been homeless, and you don't feel particularly inclined to care about them, just wait. My mom and dad didn't really think much of homeless people either...until I, their daughter, found myself on the streets. They care now. And so do I.

      ​@Reese Cup good points, but its not always directly an individuals choices or their family's that lead them to homelessness. it could be that they got laid off at a company that they didn't foresee such an outcome. Thus, they would struggle more to pay the rent and eventually slip through the cracks and wind up without a place to live. To say that it's the individual's choice to be working at a company that they could get laid off at or not earning enough money to afford the rising rent would be an illogical argument. There are surely ways to prevent homelessness but the long-term preventative options are not always available at dire circumstances when one's main focus is to stay afloat.

    As someone who is 20 and was homeless for the majority of my life I feel like the real problem is people keep having kids they can’t take care of and those kids just become forgotten adults who end up on the street. I understand there are certain circumstances that make someone homeless like loss of jobs and stuff and that of course needs to be addressed. But I was homeless at 14 simply because the family that adopted me thought I was “damaged goods” and “couldn’t make them any more money” I had been with this family since I was 3. So from 14 to currently 20 I have had to fend for myself. There are so many people not just kids who are sitting in the system because their family failed them first not the government

What I have seen is the adult "child" moving home to their families often don't want to follow any rules, don't help much, want to come and go as they please. "I'm grown!" That usually turns toxic because the giver grows tired of giving, giving, giving. And often substance abuse drinking, drugs, etc are not allowed. Or they can't bring in a boyfriend.. moving home requires a level of humility that many cannot bear.
      But there's rules in shelters too so the streets are the ultimate option.

    At first, I was thinking "isn't that a waste of money?" but thinking back to when I was in therapy for cptsd, depression, and a complete mental break, my counselor told me to do at least one thing every day to make myself feel pretty. Even if it was just to put on some tinted lipstick. It was some of the best advice I was ever given. It slowly built up my confidence and I started to feel human again. I was able to get a job, I broke it off with my abusive ex, I stopped letting people be hurtful to me, and now I have a wonderful life. This woman is doing a great thing! She is helping these women find that confidence that was lost when they ended up in a terrible situation and got kicked out to the streets. Now we need to find a way to do this for men, too! Haircuts could go a really long way and help them to look more put together when looking for a job.

I volonteered in the U.S , in Canada where I lived and in my home country and all I have is good experiences and great stories . Even if it’s not on a regular basis they will receive you with open arms during the holidays! If you don’t want to volunteer you can just smile to an homeless person and ask how they are and just take a moment to make them feel human , bring them a coffee on a cold day or a bottle of water or anything . We don’t know how hard it is because we have all we need but something as simple as sunblock on a hot summer day or a pair of socks in the winter is so important to them. 💜

Without proper care (and if you don’t have supportive family) this can be near impossible. So it’s not just merely an issue of decision making.

      Katelyn well, by helping them feel better mentally, that’s a big step in the right direction.
      She’s doing what she can to the best of her abilities, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
      She’s helping these women feel stronger, and better about themselves.
      Maybe the makeovers will help them to get a job?
      I think she’s doing amazing things.

      I was homeless too. I'm physically disabled, and all it took when my mother to just up and abandon our house one day, find out she'd been delinquent on rent, and I was out 4 days later. I lived with a friend for 4 months with my service dog, but no matter how good a house guest you are, people don't want you there because of how other people look at them for housing someone who is homeless. I became severely ill during that time, and was in and out of the hospital because homelessness is fucking stressful and you don't always get your medication due to not having money. I get furious when people act like homelessness is karma for a life poorly lived. All it takes is a series of several small things to get you there.

I'm thankful for someone who could look past my homelessness and see me as a person. I try and help other people best I can, I donate what I dont use to my local shelter, and give necessities to people in need. It can be so lonely when you are homeless.

    I was homeless last year here in Phoenix Arizona. Wasn't too bad, just struggling to find certain job because of the 2020 pandemic. I had to find shelter, and was there for 6 months got housing and still in housing. Still struggling, and it's an everyday thing near my area. I wore makeup yes to cover the pain, and showered with baby wipes, and Suave shampoo from the church group. I'm still living.

    *When i was homeless, going to a timmies washroom, or a public park washroom and taking like a clean mop bucket i got from the dollar store and filling it with warm soapy water and going into the stall and being able to wash myself, then washing my face and hair in the sink, brushing my teeth, brushing my hair, and putting on some of the makeup and perfume i got from the Dollar store made me feel SO much better... Made me feel like a woman again.. Made me feel HUMAN again... There were plenty of times after i did all my stuff and rinsed out my undies, my socks, all my clothes, id hang them on the park bench and just relax while they dried in the sun and id do my doodles and sketches in my book, or lay on my dollar store towel and just sun bathe, paint my nails etc... There were a couple times i had some really nice men approach me and compliment me and my art... Told me i was very beautiful and one time a guy brought me coffee and a sandwich just so he could sit and talk to me for a bit lol..felt just like any girl would on a date in the park...i felt pretty, and he gave me the time of day which he never would have otherwise... It made me SOOO happy that with just a little makeup , a little soap, a couple spritzes of perfume and people would treat you SO different.. Made me so happy that they couldnt even tell that i was homeless, and theyd just treat me like a normal person.. It sounds silly but my makeup and beauty routine kept me going out there, people just look at you different.. They treat you different.. I learned VERY quickly that the opportunities for jobs, favors, food, help from shelters etc, really did depend on how you looked...i got talked too ALOT more and people were willing to go out of their way to be kind and try to help me anyway they could when i had my makeup and hair done.. It was one of the things that kept me sane out there definitely. I guess alot of people felt bad? Idk.. That a young, kind, "pretty" girl was out on the streets all by herself with nothing, and theyd go out of their way to talk to me and help me, and when my hair was a mess or just unwashed and pulled into a ponytail, and didnt have my makeup done and just had my baggy comfy clothes on, most of the time people wouldnt even talk to me or it was like i was invisible..or if i tried to talk to them, spark up a conversation or ask questions theyd just be like "nope sorry" or "cant help you"... Or theyd just get away from you as quick as possible and not even really treat you like a person, just a "homeless girl"*

      I still don’t get what you’re trying to fight for. No matter what the state or location is, we are trying to keep ourselves alive. We can TRY to keep whatever children alive but in the end, we have to be selfish and keep ourselves alive. How do you really expect ANY homeless, no money, no family, no job or status, take care of a child that was not in their intention to give birth to. IF they knew they were unable to take care of them, then they have to prevent it before it suffers anymore. Being thrown into the garbage, abandoned, creeps that pry on children, fetuses & babies. AND Not everyone or anyone is willing to care for a child that’s not theirs or take them in from abandonment. No one is obligated really, it’s called Self Love, Self Respect & Self Care. we. Cannot. Care. For others. If we cannot. Care. For. Ourselves.
      Get it straight through your damn mind.

    i want to share a little story myself, one time i was going to Dollar tree with my step dad. and on the way there was a homeless lady with a dog, i was going to by myself some snacks and other stuff. but when I saw that lady and her dog my heart was feeling something, I felt like I had to do something. when i went into dollar tree I headed straight for the dog aisle, I got the dog a bag of dog food, some treats, and a cute little leash. i was gonna get the dog a sweater but it already had one. then I headed for the lady aisle, I got some pads and tampons for the lady, then headed for the food aisle, got the lady a couple bags of chips, some gum, and bottled water. I paid for everything and then I walked over to her and gave everything to her, I told the lady that every thing will be okay. when she looked into the bag she just started crying, all I could do was give her a hug I was trying not to cry. me and her prayed together, and I told her that God has a plan for her. ever since, whenever I see homeless people I alwaysssss start crying. there's my story !!:)
