Agree but if we taxed corporations and the wealthy appropriately there wouldn’t be a need to “prioritize” people over the next. The idea that some deserve housing/food security and others don’t is absurd.
@@eldorado1244 She should’ve stated what??! Why do people feel they have to police every comment like we’re in grade school again??! Is she gonna have to go stand in the corner if she doesn’t state it more clear next time?? I knew exactly what she meant when she made her statement! People ask him that quite a bit w different interviews..
As soon as I saw the thumbnail I recognized her. Every couple months she comes to the Ross store that I work at. It’s so crazy to see her here telling her story. The times that she’s been at the store she always has her babies with her, and let me tell you something, 99% of the things that she buys is for her kids (and her little dog). I’ll admit there have been times were she comes in her stroller and it looks like she might steal something (because trust me A LOT of people do that at the store), but she pays for every little thing, even if her kids are already wearing the items. It breaks my heart knowing that the government doesn’t do enough to help her and her children. She has such a positive outlook regarding her situation, where a lot of people would probably break. I hope that she and her babies are doing well and I pray that they get the assistance that they deserve!
@@nicolebordeaux4543 Not you policing how she tells her story…💀🤣 She said she works at the store where a lot of people come in with strollers to steal. It’s not rude, it’s a fact. She told a whole story and that’s all you took from it. Smh. Anyway, I appreciate the back story because you never know with these videos if people are being completely honest or not. I hope this family gets the help they need 🙏🏽.
Thank you for this post. It is hard for folks like me to see this away in South Carolina. So Is it confirmed that she has no substance abuse? Because this completely invalidates boomer lie that in America “if you just work hard and stay clean you get the dream”..They try to portray all unfortunate folks are thieves and druggies or mentally ill.
When Mark comments "You've got a rough life there" and she immediately answers "Yeah, but we're blessed..." that's a person with a great attitude. Hopefully they have a better future and those kids grow up with their mothers fighting spirit
I think she said it was because she was in the hospital that she got behind on household bills. Medical bills can be put off for years and eventually settled at a small fraction of the original bill.
Mark: what a rough life now Marisa: we're blessed, we're alive, we're together Made me cry, she's so inspiring and I wish her and her beautiful kids to be well.
AMEN !! The joy and smiles on these sweet kids faces says who she is as a Mother. Just Beautiful .. praying she can get back on her feet and know she will be showered with abundant blessings of health and financial freedom
Being dragged by a truck driver, never getting justice, losing your job and lively hood over an accident WITH young children is unbelievably heartbreaking yet she’s so positive. It’s incredible. I truly hope they get the home or RV they need to have a more stable life. She’s done such an incredible job with what she has and I’m truly rooting for them 🙏🏽
some people look down on her for keeping her kids wit her but you don’t understand how much them babies are going to love and respect their mom for not giving them up and allowing them to stick wit her thru it all
And we all know the froster care system is terrible. They kill and lose children all the time. They are actually safer with her. It’s heartbreaking that is the case.
My family was considering chronically homeless growing up. There were 6 of us she drug along with her across the country from homeless shelter to homeless shelter. I witnessed my first murder when I was 8. All these horrible events I went through being homeless could have been prevented if my mom would have just allowed us to stay with family. I still have horrible ptsd and every time my lease comes up I become a complete mess. I haven’t been homeless since I was 14 but the possibility still scares the shit out of me.
NOOO, NO! These children deserve a better start in life. Stop with feeling sorry for the mom. Give those kids the best start possible OR they will be on skid row forever.
@@gracejones2831 just because you are poor doesn't mean you're Shit! By the way she talks, she takes care of her kids. A lot of people are ONE paycheck away from being homeless.
@bigbuttvampire Well said exactly just cause someones homeless it don't mean their bad parent it's a situation anyone can be in at any moment tbf I'm just surprised the government don't help single homeless parent with more than 2-3 kids ..wtf 👀 in UK they would have a hostel room in a family unit with cooking facilities etc and then put on a housing register. We have like bands in the UK Band 1 band 2 band 3 etc And to me shes a priority with all those kids idk how the UK housing would see it but that's my personal opinion. She's doing a great job Sending positive vibes to everyone 🙏🏾
You can tell she takes care of those kids. They are so well behaved and the chunkiest cheeks! She's doing her best. I hope she is able to get the help she needs. She deserves it just because she's been through so much and still stays so positive. Bless her.
@@wel722 i just noticed it's been removed. what do you mean with "opinions that don't go along with Mark's party line"? i didn't notice anything too political about juniper. and i don't know what Mark's political views are. unless it was demonetized, removing videos isn't good for him, since he gets paid per view. i'm curious now as to what happened with juniper's video.
@@wel722 sure, of all the issues that he tries to bring into the light, the issue that is closest to your heart isn't it on hard enough. Let's see what you're going to do about that little niche that you seem so obsessed with that you can't see clearly through your anger. If you have a channel, I'll be happy to support it too. I'll wait for the information.
What a bunch of beautiful well behaved children! I'm from Canada where this woman and her children would be living in subsidized housing receiving $2200/month on social assistance and another $2500/month on Child Tax Benefits as well as full medical, dental, vision and prescription coverage. She would also be eligible to visit her local food bank once a week where she'd be given at least 4 large boxes of groceries for a family of her size. What is wrong with the USA???
There is obviously more to the story than she is telling. It is easy to get medical, and food benefits in America. Housing takes time sometimes but it can be done.
@@Hi-bl8rm depends on the state broski I live in a state where it’s easy to get it but that’s bc everything else is working she lives in Cali so I can imagine that everybody is trying to get gov. benefits and assistance so i can see why it’s hard 4 her
@@wel722 It seems all youtube creators are pigeon-holed by the shifting corporate curbs and filters. So the platform has become a "limited hangout" in psyop terms. I think Mark knows he has to keep things between the lanes, pay to play. I enjoy the sincerity and perspective I see in these interviews, but I know I have to go elsewhere for strong meat.
This is a story about why America is so broken. I cant believe this poor woman is in this situation because she was hit by a car. The fact that the church and friends/family have been the only people to come through for her and her kids is despicable. How on earth can America ever progress and care for their citizens. I really hope this family find a way to have a stable life ❤️
More like American citizens survive in spite of their goverment. I weep for the systems of oppression you deal with. They have blindfolds on to the destruction, injustice, and poverty around them as long as money fills their swimming pools.
There are many of us living paycheck to paycheck.This just goes to show how quick you could go from having a roof over your head,etc. to being displaced in a shelter then nowhere to go.Humble yourself always and be grateful for what we have.I know her strength comes from those babies💪💓💕I'm so glad they are doing ok and will have a stable place soon with her uncle.
@@peoplesht322 I know and thats what needs to be fixed. People need to start taking care of their children instead of throwing them on the street. My family is shitty and would throw me on the street, but, I changed the way I take care of my kids. I'm breaking the cycle.
i need these interviews. the other day when i got home, i went ballistic because they messed up my order from the nastiest tasting burger joint. It's hard to watch at times
@Carol Spencer I see, alert, and curious children. Their body language speaks a sense of security and trust. To do the acceptable thing, placing them with relatives or in foster care would mean separation trauma for mother and children. And the risk of the unspeakable at the hands of the most despicable of creatures. She took a gamble, and so far, it looks so good.
"My child are jewels.” "I got a second chance " It warms my heart to see this woman and I wish her a life of joy I hope many people hear her message ! I will be looking forward for an update of her life!
Mom is fully engaged with the interview, but yet keeps her eye on her babies. All the respect to this momma and her dedication to her children. Thousands of well to do parents should take notes from this woman. Keep pushing momma❤
No thank you, i married a man who worked for a living never would the kids go hungry, BUT THEN after a accident or whatever iF YOU ARE LOW INCOME IN AMERICA YOU GET SHELTER AND FOOD STAMPS,
@@fuubitch Ah yes, judging people's lives without knowing shit about them. If maturity is a criteria for having kids, you would probably not be allowed to have any.
Damn this was my mom 20 years ago with 5 kids living motel to motel & the homeless shelter until we were in middle school she finally got herself together ❤ I can't thank my mother so much for keeping me, my sisters, & brother together through out all the hard times. Those kids will forever admire there mother, you can tell she loves her babies 💕
How tough to live this way. Who knows the real story- it sounds like before the car accident she was already struggling. My hope is for the kids to find a stable life and mom.
This made me cry. This is one amazing woman. Her children are beautiful too. Hats off to her doing a fantastic job at raising them and staying so resilient. Really blown away by this one.
@@MARKHENSTROM And being so in debt with medical bills she becomes homeless with two kiddos! The lord is good, AMEN. 😂 If that’s the outcome I’d rather not survive the accident.
13:35 “I thought I was better that anybody. God brought me down a notch”. Thank you for your story Marissa. God brought Me down too. Took my house my marriage my children my dignity and had to start all over again. I still don’t have my children but you do. You are blessed 😇🙏🏼💖
Ruth I don't want to butt In and I don't wAnt to be nosey. What happened if I May ask. I'm so sorry you don't have your babies. I hurt for you. I don't have any children. Your comments were so sweet but made me sad too. You look like a beautiful lady.
@@SkybabyandStar well looking at her only other comment on this Channel she commented on a male stripper heart eyes. She most likely is a bad mother not there for her kids looking for sympathy on the internet while she goes on dates with other men. Probably cheated on her husband to.
That little girl with the blue hair stands out to me. She reminds me of my young self. She’s by her mom side this entire time listening and talking in information. She going to over come all off this! Please keep us updated on their progress please!
She’s real! She would always stop by my Cafe and order hot packaged food. She was never rude! Always called me sweetie & had manners. Everyday I would still see her, carrying a bunch of groceries she could barley carry and a stroller with one of her kids. Walking her 4 little babies making sure they’re all in her sight. Never saw her with any man helping her, Always doing everything solo. She has so much patience for all her kids, always get each of them the same attention and made sure they sat down and ate first before she fed herself. 🤍
Yes! More homeless mothers with children on your platform please. It's a dire problem in California. They are being overlooked by the community and organizations that should be allocating resources. Thank you for giving them a voice. ❤
@@user-rr8vj9dq9s I was born and raised in California. I've experienced homelessness first hand. Which is why I allocate my own resources and funding to MY COMMUNITY. Many organizations recieve funding and run with the money. Along with discriminatory practices that prevent certain ethnic groups from receiving help. The government naturally plays a huge part but the people working within these organizations are at fault as well. But I digress.
"... yes, but we're still blessed, we're still alive, we're still together, we're still pushing..." What a great attitude given her circumstances. Rock on woman! Mark, if you please, do a follow up on this family and thank you for all you do for all these people and your viewers
I hope she gets assistance with those 4 children... that is probably such a hard and stressful situation. God Bless you and those precious, linnocent children
She needs to get off skid row.. or thatll never be reality.. she is addicted to harsh things and needs to go north and detox while she works the farms up north to do it.. otherwise she will always pretend victim and use.
Right, the mother seems to have good intentions however in this case you gotta protect the children and shelter them/move them elsewhere immediately while she can try getting her life on the rails again.
@@dertythegrower She said she doesn't even smoke, so I'm confused, where did she say she used drugs? Don't kick this poor woman while she's struggling. 🥺
@@9roselove9 wow, I don’t recall hearing her say she’s lonely and feels like a failure. I do recall her saying she lost her job and home when she was almost killed and injured in a horrific accident. I also heard her say she currently has shelter, a helping family member, and goals of a home to call her own. I heard her say the father of her children is assumed dead, and I heard her say she’s blessed although she doesn’t have material possessions that most of us take for granted. I’ve made it a goal of mine to assume good intentions from everyone before jumping to my own conclusions. Your remark seems calloused and cold to say the least. That being said, I won’t assume your comment was intentionally hurtful or malicious. Perhaps I read it wrong. These kids appear to be healthy, happy, and loving. Their mother stated she has never touched drugs. I’d deduce from the information given, that her difficulties are the product of extremely bad occurrences that were beyond her control. From where I’m sitting, 4 children seeing their loving mother refuse to give up and determined to do everything she can to improve their lives is a great example. Especially given the uncertainty that taking kids from their mother and handing them over to “the system” can create. (Sexual abuse, physical abuse, splitting them up, etc.) Furthermore, she’s suffered enough and she’s still trying… so how would taking that which she cherishes most in this world away from her be a step in the right direction? Finally, I hope if you ever experience a fraction of the harsh realities this kind hearted woman has been forced to endure, that no one is too quick to judge you, or your circumstances, and that instead of harshness you are met with kind, loving, helpful attitudes that will help you become whole again. Have a great day. ❤️
@@scharigee2966 projection? How i have no kids and my mom never let us be homeless or anything like that. I grew up great and my parents loved me…so this is awkward..
@@BREDNBUTTER not reading all of that! Any parent who lets her kids live in a tent with her is a bad mom! Period! It’s dangerous and irresponsible! Like i said she’s not a good mom clearly and is dragging her kids down along with her. Perioddddd i grew up rather poor but my a parents made sure we were never homeless and my mom would have gotten me adopted or fostered before she took me to meth mile to live in a tent with her like wtf is wrong you people??? Thinking that shit is ok. People doing drugs right outside of the tent smh why didn’t she ask for help while she was in the hospital??? She only got help after they had been living in a tent??? I work a halfway house and IM TELLING YOU the story is never Thai straight and clean unfortunately.use your brain. The story doesn’t make sense and theres clearly something off. Feel how u want, believe people at face value but baby I don’t believe anyone living in a tent making bad decisions who tells me they don’t do drugs LMAO! U think all addicts admit to not doing drugs? I feel so bad for how naive you are truly
The kids are beautiful and well behaved, says a lot about her as a mama, even in spite of her hardships. Mama is a light, I hope she gets on her feet again.
This story left me in TEARS. Not because of Marisa’s situation - which is challenging enough on its own - but because of the Godly STRENGTH that came right off the screen to touch my soul. If ANYONE had a reason to be bitter and downcast, it would be this woman. But NO. She is an inspiration to me and I pray that the Creator blesses her and her beautiful children with His continued love and protection. Thank you for introducing her to us, Mark.
Hi Mark. This video is a wake up call for people to appreciate what they have. People are a paycheck away from this heartbreaking situation. God bless you Mark.
Bullshit. This is child abuse. She is using drugs, these kids are being sold out for sex, she is using this show to get money, she should be in jail. Dont be stupid. These kids are probably not even hers. They are her meal ticket. Tney sbould be taken by CPS immediately. I hope they watch this.
I'm sorry but you have to take people's words at face value. All you know about her is what she told you.ive met people before that I would bet my last dollar that they were good people and they were just good at covering up the bad parts probably to get what they want. Narcissists are good at that. So keep on believing what you hear. She can be mommy dearest for all you know.there sure are a lot of gullible people out there.She could be a meth smoking abuser that's just good at doing whatever it takes to get what she wants.
I work at a shelter in FL and have the privilege of knowing some amazing folks experiencing homelessness. Getting to know people can really change perspectives and open hearts. Wishing love to this family. Thanks again for sharing these, Mark.
I know her ...She is a good person...and she loves her kids I helped with what I could. She just had had her youngest. My son was 3/4 months and I blessed her with so much baby stuff. Sad to see she's still in this situation. PATH was supposed to help her with housing. I will continue praying for her and her precious kids. God will make a way Missy 🙏🏾😇❣️
When all the kids were rolling around the floor and playing, I realise that I'm actually smiling without knowing it. Such a humble little family. I hope they find some sort of permanent housing that's large enough for them all to give them all personal space.
She has the sweetest kids. When I was in LA during covid one of the groups I worked with (mission echo) volunteers on skid row a lot and we were able to donate & help this family then. You can’t forget her face or her kids…So sad they’re still in this situation, but she is so strong and I’m always amazed at how she takes cares of the kids and puts them first before herself. Praying they all get in a home/stable situation soon.
Awesome how she stays cool and loving whilst her kids are hanging around her left and right and she just keeps talking without problems. She is a great mom that i´m sure of. Her story with the hospital bills is a typical "it could happen to you too" example. I hope she gets what she needs and have the resources to give her kids a chance at a great future. I see her succeeding 100%.
Her children are so well behaved. What an amazing mom doing everything she can to keep her babies safe despite her having nothing, she certainly keeps a safe place for her babies to see she is trying to make a better life for them. I pray she gets blessed with a home very soon. 💙
These are the cases that need more attention. These examples need to be brought up more when elected officials are making laws and deciding how money is spent. No one, ESPECIALLY A CHILD, should be homeless.
I don't even understand how we can sit here and talk about homeless children! It's beyond insane! The smallest one is two years old for crying out loud! America, the home of the free. The country everyone is dreaming about. Not me. I'm so EXTREMELY thankful that I don't live there because this is just so horrible I'm almost lost for words. This doesn't happen in my country. If I lived there, I'd take them in today. I only have one guestrooms but the children could get bunk beds and the mother could sleep on the couch. But in my opinion those children should go to school. They need a place to go to outside where they live, especially in this situation.
She has tried hard to take care of her children. What happened to can happen to anyone. She is articulate and powerful but many homeless are mentally ill. Where is the government. Where is Elon musk? So many billionaires. How many homeless those billions take care of? The police won't help them. They just chase them away. Where I live you have to line up for a bed in the Salvation army. If they get in it costs $7 a night. Why isn't free?
They dgaf of anything but profits no matter who you elect it's the same shit interest interest interest if they cared about the people and the environment they would've done something long ago they could do it got the money and power for it
Most all people get turned down the first time they apply for disability, even the most severely disabled don’t usually get it until the 2nd time. So, if she needs it I hope she keeps trying. Her children are beautiful and seem so well behaved…I hope the very best for this family.
The main issue is not how disabled you are really, it is how much medical documentation you have, if you have a long history of going to many various doctors, diagnoses, many medications, and consistency, along with documentation for all of it, then it isn't difficult to get approved, this is how I got approved the first time with no issues. It is a major problem when you are very poor to begin with and can't afford to go see all these different doctors and consistently take medications and obtain documentation.
Why can't she apply for unemployment benefits , food stamps and child benefit. She said she can't get disability but those other things will help support her she needs to apply get the ball rolling.
It’s so true, the system is meant to keep you down. Just keep fighting. Usually the 3rd or 4th time, with tons of documents and history, you get approved. I’m still fighting for it and am super sick. My doctor said “you basically have to be at deaths door to be approved”. Crazy.
It’s amazing how this community of subscribers comes together. She’s already received over $2000 in donations on the go fund me! I pray we can get them out of this situation.
@@michaelcavallacci2945 the culture we live in today clearly doesn't value life. People say "FML" often as if it's not a big deal; people are shooting up schools and glorifying abortion which can be viewed as not caring about children at all. So, yes, to some those words are common sense, but to others they're not. And to hear a woman who is living on skid row with her children say these words shows she values life and not things. I pray her and her children have a bright future as well.
This is how I ended up homeless with my two children. Hospital bills from my youngest child being chronically ill. It took us 2 years to get back on our feet. This pandemic almost put us back on the streets. Thank goodness friends and family came through to help us get by for a few months. Once I got back on my feet again, first thing I did was pay everyone back. It’s so easy to end up in these situations in the USA. There is no real safety net. Medical and welfare refused to help us even though we are all US citizens. So, this country is a total joke when it comes to helping those who are truly in need.
Only the illegals and other countries get our tax money. Not a woman like this and these little angels. Shitting awful system bent on destroying families
@mydizzymelody. That’s a blessing that your family helped you with your situation. There’s this guy name Isaiah I’ve watched on TH-cam, and he helps out the homeless by giving them money and doing a go fund me page for individuals that were homeless and give them a apartment. Isaiah was once homeless. And he gives back to the community. And he does way more than the government itself.
So crazy I seen her walking in downtown with her kids , I was so concerned for her . Her kids holding eachother 1 by one holding hands . Poor babies . God protect them always 💗🙏

Would have been better to donate towards the research of science. Instead, that was a waste of resources. There is about a 0% chance that her, or any of her kids, contribute to the advancement of humanity.

Damn. This is the first one that really got me. She reminds us all that it isn’t only drugs, crime or mental illness to end up homeless. Or less of home. When I was a single mother of a 2 yr old having just left her Dad, it took me 2 months living with family and friends. I finally found an apartment in my budget. And a daycare that would have to be affordable because I couldn’t get to the other ones before 5:30p from work. One month of missing a paycheck, and I would’ve been done. In a town that really really does not like the homeless. Marisa reminds her kids of how many blessings they have. To be together. And she calls them “jewels” to be cherished, that can’t ever be replaced. Those babies are clean, well-fed and educated. Cared for and loved. That goes a hell of a long way in my book. Her devotion and fortitude are beyond admirable. ❤
That really hit when she said when you wake up another day. It's a day to be blessed despite what she's going through. This literally made me cry. Keep it up. I'm a huge fan of her
Just donated towards Marisa and her beautiful children. LOVED to see how many people also donated and hope that this really changes their lives. Mark, you have such an impact on the people on your channel!
She is a prime example of a good mother! Never give up I’m praying for you! I’m from New Mexico I’m so sorry you were hit by a car GOD is good you will come out on top!
I watch this from montreal canada and i lived in shelter for last 1 year it was like luxury living i had my own 3 bedroom apt my rent is only $300. I get lots of support from government even after i left shelter its the same thing in regular apartment. My kids wouldnt even know we going through tough times because they have everything they need! The states must help women and children like they do in canada!
I love her energy and her children are well behaved. She loves her children, and her children love her. I have no idea why she can't get public assistance, Medicaid and food stamps she needs them. I wish them the best in life. I love her babies. Please give my donation to Marisa and her children.
Her attitude is such a stark contrast to many that we hear on this channel. And in life. She could so easily take a victim mentality with everything she's been through, but she truly feels blessed. So many people wear their trauma as a badge of honour and become defined by it. I wish I had a fraction of her strength.
I don't know how she can be so positive. Those kids are so adorable. Why, why, why, is assistance not helping them? Something is so broken in our system. If this family can't get help, we're all doomed.
I think she said that part of it was because two of the children are not US citizens. Horrible reasoning. But I guess a lot of citizens want strict immigration policy.
well, if your children are dirty, fed incorrectly, not receiving proper education, out there exposed to incredible danger, not giving up your children is a selfish move. that said, the system can be awful too. she seems like a very loving mother, i just wish the kids could be somewhere safer till she gets a place to raise them. poverty and the streets can be so traumatizing. it's a very complicated situation.
@@violetaviana1888 so complicated :( I noticed she said herself that she was raised in the system as a child, so perhaps she had bad experiences and couldn’t bear to send her kids on that path. It’s heartbreaking that these decisions have to be made because of something like not being able to pay medical bills 💔
I’ve been here before. My mom was homeless when I was young and then later on when I was a teenager cause my mom got really sick. 17 years later, my husband and I are buying a house and moms living with us. God took care of us. You never know who’s going through it and you never know what these children can become. ♥️
Her babies are stunning, someone please help this family. I live in australia, if i could help her i would. So many wealthy people in America, and yet so much poverty. CRAZY
This is my favorite interview. Marisa, you are an encouragement. Your positivity is infectious and you radiate goodness. Your life has great purpose. And your children are angelic!
Wow I’m so thankful to have seen this. I have two sets of twins as a single mom and live with my mom just working as a hooters girl and I beat myself up everyday. But she reminded me that material things do not matter when GOD gives you life! I really needed to hear this!! Thank you so much I’m looking forward to an update!
It's going it gets better. Keep pushing Mama!!! Let it out when you need to & keep pushing. One day you will look up and not even know how you got to the other side of struggle-but will be so thankful to have arrived! Keep pushing! Bless your journey
You got this Mama. I was a single mom. I know it's really hard. But one day you'll look back & be surprised how far God has brought you and your babies.
If you want to tell yourself there is some deity in control of the lives of 8 BILLION PEOPLE, that's your right. But reality is that we're on our own. It sounds like you're doing what you have to do so that's great. I hope it all works out for you and your kids.
We can all learn a lot from her perspective of life. I like that she made the point - you have to watch your children NO MATTER where you’re at. Predators are everywhere! High and low places. May her and her children continue to be blessed ❤
If I was in her position, I'd be a mess. She has avoided drugs and is super protective of her kids, I think that's a lot better than most stories I see of people on skid row.
@@foreverrr_tatum no trying her best is having a job and knowing if you're so unstable that you probably shouldn't have kids.. Doing her best is not what she is doing,she is lazy and setting these kids up for failure because she makes bad decisions so spare me your liberal dogsh!t
It’s amazing how your life can change in the blink of an eye. These kids are beautiful, and her faith is admirable. God bless them all! Everything will work out for the best💜
These children are beautiful, they look clean and healthy and I really liked how the mom talked and presented herself. I just saw the other video where they got an RV. I just pray they get to her Uncles and get the children situated in one place.God bless this family.
It's so sad that people can end up on the street just because they had an accident. There's something seriously wrong with this world. It makes me so sad. I'm sending all my love to this lady and her adorable kids ❤
The kids are behaving like kids do when they're normal, loved, and well taken care of. I'm disgusted with some of these comments. They'll be here in 15 years?? NO! they have a chance.. you can tell they're going to be just fine. Love does things that we could never imagine. 💜 *hugs*
I know the thread you're talking about. None of those people on that thread watched or LISTENED to this woman's story. One person assumed she was an addict. Another suggested a hotel room, which she currently lives in. Another rambled on and on that they would beg CPS to take their kids---even if it meant going to their office and doing drugs in front of them. Everyone on that thread has been Zombified and has no frontal cortex left.
@@mackthnife3 Bullshit. She has well behaved children. And not some Adhd problem child bouncing off the walls. All 4 sat on the floor and minded their own business. They're used to their mom speaking with people. Not once did any of them interrupt. Not even the 2 year old. 🙄 Sick of you weirdos trying to find something wrong with everyone. There's nothing wrong with her kids. They're beautiful and happy despite their situation.
@@ChelleSimon i agree. When you love and cherish kids, you can live anywhere.. they don't care. She didn't have to get after then once... respectful kids, that's what i see.

Please please please do an update on her and these adorable babies. People in her situation should be first priority in getting government assistance.
Agree but if we taxed corporations and the wealthy appropriately there wouldn’t be a need to “prioritize” people over the next. The idea that some deserve housing/food security and others don’t is absurd.
@@tumachi1992 EVERYONE deserves those things, but the world we live in is like it is. We need to help some people sometimes.
@@AbcAbc-qu6dl I'm talking in the future.
@@maureenmartini5094 you should of stated that
@@eldorado1244 She should’ve stated what??! Why do people feel they have to police every comment like we’re in grade school again??! Is she gonna have to go stand in the corner if she doesn’t state it more clear next time?? I knew exactly what she meant when she made her statement! People ask him that quite a bit w different interviews..
As soon as I saw the thumbnail I recognized her. Every couple months she comes to the Ross store that I work at. It’s so crazy to see her here telling her story. The times that she’s been at the store she always has her babies with her, and let me tell you something, 99% of the things that she buys is for her kids (and her little dog). I’ll admit there have been times were she comes in her stroller and it looks like she might steal something (because trust me A LOT of people do that at the store), but she pays for every little thing, even if her kids are already wearing the items. It breaks my heart knowing that the government doesn’t do enough to help her and her children. She has such a positive outlook regarding her situation, where a lot of people would probably break. I hope that she and her babies are doing well and I pray that they get the assistance that they deserve!
Can you believe this country is forcing births on women and children!?
You didn’t have to add the part where you said she looked like she was going to steal. That was really rude.
@@nicolebordeaux4543 Not you policing how she tells her story…💀🤣
She said she works at the store where a lot of people come in with strollers to steal. It’s not rude, it’s a fact.
She told a whole story and that’s all you took from it. Smh.
Anyway, I appreciate the back story because you never know with these videos if people are being completely honest or not. I hope this family gets the help they need 🙏🏽.
Thank you for this post. It is hard for folks like me to see this away in South Carolina. So Is it confirmed that she has no substance abuse? Because this completely invalidates boomer lie that in America “if you just work hard and stay clean you get the dream”..They try to portray all unfortunate folks are thieves and druggies or mentally ill.
She has a dog?!?!?
OMG
When Mark comments "You've got a rough life there" and she immediately answers "Yeah, but we're blessed..." that's a person with a great attitude. Hopefully they have a better future and those kids grow up with their mothers fighting spirit

A parent provides.
Absolutely disgusting that medical bills can do this to a family in America. What an amazing woman
I think she said it was because she was in the hospital that she got behind on household bills. Medical bills can be put off for years and eventually settled at a small fraction of the original bill.

No, suffering is inevitable
Being dragged by a truck driver, never getting justice, losing your job and lively hood over an accident WITH young children is unbelievably heartbreaking yet she’s so positive. It’s incredible. I truly hope they get the home or RV they need to have a more stable life. She’s done such an incredible job with what she has and I’m truly rooting for them 🙏🏽

@@RabidDisposition absolutely nothing. Look up Gabriel Fernandez.

We're all just 1 paycheck away from being homeless. God bless this woman
It hurts a bit to think about how true that is.
Everyone that is saying that is right. I have two full time jobs and I am also only one paycheck away fr being homeless. I need to start saving
@@annaphillips9573 same.
Not people who save and live beneath their means.
Regardless of education, this is so true. The only ones who aren't are already legacy money.
some people look down on her for keeping her kids wit her but you don’t understand how much them babies are going to love and respect their mom for not giving them up and allowing them to stick wit her thru it all
And we all know the froster care system is terrible. They kill and lose children all the time. They are actually safer with her. It’s heartbreaking that is the case.
My family was considering chronically homeless growing up. There were 6 of us she drug along with her across the country from homeless shelter to homeless shelter. I witnessed my first murder when I was 8. All these horrible events I went through being homeless could have been prevented if my mom would have just allowed us to stay with family. I still have horrible ptsd and every time my lease comes up I become a complete mess. I haven’t been homeless since I was 14 but the possibility still scares the shit out of me.
NOOO, NO! These children deserve a better start in life. Stop with feeling sorry for the mom. Give those kids the best start possible OR they will be on skid row forever.
@@gracejones2831 just because you are poor doesn't mean you're Shit! By the way she talks, she takes care of her kids. A lot of people are ONE paycheck away from being homeless.
@bigbuttvampire
Well said exactly just cause someones homeless it don't mean their bad parent it's a situation anyone can be in at any moment tbf
I'm just surprised the government don't help single homeless parent with more than 2-3 kids ..wtf 👀 in UK they would have a hostel room in a family unit with cooking facilities etc and then put on a housing register. We have like bands in the UK
Band 1 band 2 band 3 etc
And to me shes a priority with all those kids idk how the UK housing would see it but that's my personal opinion. She's doing a great job
Sending positive vibes to everyone 🙏🏾
You can tell she takes care of those kids. They are so well behaved and the chunkiest cheeks! She's doing her best. I hope she is able to get the help she needs. She deserves it just because she's been through so much and still stays so positive. Bless her.

What a bunch of beautiful well behaved children! I'm from Canada where this woman and her children would be living in subsidized housing receiving $2200/month on social assistance and another $2500/month on Child Tax Benefits as well as full medical, dental, vision and prescription coverage. She would also be eligible to visit her local food bank once a week where she'd be given at least 4 large boxes of groceries for a family of her size. What is wrong with the USA???
Hahahahaha wow
There is obviously more to the story than she is telling. It is easy to get medical, and food benefits in America. Housing takes time sometimes but it can be done.
@@Hi-bl8rm depends on the state broski I live in a state where it’s easy to get it but that’s bc everything else is working she lives in Cali so I can imagine that everybody is trying to get gov. benefits and assistance so i can see why it’s hard 4 her

She’s real! She would always stop by my Cafe and order hot packaged food. She was never rude!
Always called me sweetie & had manners. Everyday I would still see her, carrying a bunch of groceries she could barley carry and a stroller with one of her kids. Walking her 4 little babies making sure they’re all in her sight. Never saw her with any man helping her, Always doing everything solo.
She has so much patience for all her kids, always get each of them the same attention and made sure they sat down and ate first before she fed herself. 🤍

@@user-rr8vj9dq9s I was born and raised in California. I've experienced homelessness first hand. Which is why I allocate my own resources and funding to MY COMMUNITY.

Right, the mother seems to have good intentions however in this case you gotta protect the children and shelter them/move them elsewhere immediately while she can try getting her life on the rails again.
@@dertythegrower She said she doesn't even smoke, so I'm confused, where did she say she used drugs?
Don't kick this poor woman while she's struggling. 🥺
"I got my kids with me, what more could you ask for?" Wow, I admire her outlook.
“Yes and i will drag them down with me because I’m lonely and feel like a failure” what a great mom 👍🏼
@@9roselove9 wow, I don’t recall hearing her say she’s lonely and feels like a failure. I do recall her saying she lost her job and home when she was almost killed and injured in a horrific accident. I also heard her say she currently has shelter, a helping family member, and goals of a home to call her own. I heard her say the father of her children is assumed dead, and I heard her say she’s blessed although she doesn’t have material possessions that most of us take for granted. I’ve made it a goal of mine to assume good intentions from everyone before jumping to my own conclusions. Your remark seems calloused and cold to say the least. That being said, I won’t assume your comment was intentionally hurtful or malicious. Perhaps I read it wrong. These kids appear to be healthy, happy, and loving. Their mother stated she has never touched drugs. I’d deduce from the information given, that her difficulties are the product of extremely bad occurrences that were beyond her control. From where I’m sitting, 4 children seeing their loving mother refuse to give up and determined to do everything she can to improve their lives is a great example. Especially given the uncertainty that taking kids from their mother and handing them over to “the system” can create. (Sexual abuse, physical abuse, splitting them up, etc.) Furthermore, she’s suffered enough and she’s still trying… so how would taking that which she cherishes most in this world away from her be a step in the right direction? Finally, I hope if you ever experience a fraction of the harsh realities this kind hearted woman has been forced to endure, that no one is too quick to judge you, or your circumstances, and that instead of harshness you are met with kind, loving, helpful attitudes that will help you become whole again. Have a great day. ❤️

She loves her babies so much and you can tell they love her too. Made me cry. Good luck mama.
She kept all the beautiful kids with her, she deserves better life, if nothing, for being such a great mom 🤗
Bullshit. This is child abuse. She is using drugs, these kids are being sold out for sex, she is using this show to get money, she should be in jail. Dont be stupid. These kids are probably not even hers. They are her meal ticket. Tney sbould be taken by CPS immediately. I hope they watch this.
Do “great moms” bring their kids to skid row? Think about it....
Nothing beautiful about children living in trauma! This is how the cycle continues
I'm sorry but you have to take people's words at face value. All you know about her is what she told you.ive met people before that I would bet my last dollar that they were good people and they were just good at covering up the bad parts probably to get what they want. Narcissists are good at that. So keep on believing what you hear. She can be mommy dearest for all you know.there sure are a lot of gullible people out there.She could be a meth smoking abuser that's just good at doing whatever it takes to get what she wants.
You are delusional. W with 4 innocent kids on skid row is a great mom huh................rigggggggghhhhhhhht.
I work at a shelter in FL and have the privilege of knowing some amazing folks experiencing homelessness. Getting to know people can really change perspectives and open hearts. Wishing love to this family. Thanks again for sharing these, Mark.
Substance abuse, why not mention that is a huge reason shelters exist..

Sad to see she's still in this situation. PATH was supposed to help her with housing. I will continue praying for her and her precious kids. God will make a way Missy 🙏🏾😇❣️
She will get through this. Those children are so blessed to have such a strong mother.
She’s a far, far better mom than the one I had. Wishing this family the very best.
Ditto on that !!!
How can I get to the level of her soul? She is so elevated. She is enlightened.
When all the kids were rolling around the floor and playing, I realise that I'm actually smiling without knowing it. Such a humble little family. I hope they find some sort of permanent housing that's large enough for them all to give them all personal space.
She has the sweetest kids. When I was in LA during covid one of the groups I worked with (mission echo) volunteers on skid row a lot and we were able to donate & help this family then. You can’t forget her face or her kids…So sad they’re still in this situation, but she is so strong and I’m always amazed at how she takes cares of the kids and puts them first before herself. Praying they all get in a home/stable situation soon.
Awww is she still in the streets
?? Do.you know How I cam donate to her??!
I love her she has such fortitude. The kids have incredible hair colors ❤️
Awesome how she stays cool and loving whilst her kids are hanging around her left and right and she just keeps talking without problems. She is a great mom that i´m sure of. Her story with the hospital bills is a typical "it could happen to you too" example. I hope she gets what she needs and have the resources to give her kids a chance at a great future. I see her succeeding 100%.
Her children are so well behaved. What an amazing mom doing everything she can to keep her babies safe despite her having nothing, she certainly keeps a safe place for her babies to see she is trying to make a better life for them. I pray she gets blessed with a home very soon. 💙
The interaction between Mom and her children is precious.....they deserve the best! Please keep us updated!!
These are the cases that need more attention. These examples need to be brought up more when elected officials are making laws and deciding how money is spent. No one, ESPECIALLY A CHILD, should be homeless.
I don't even understand how we can sit here and talk about homeless children!
It's beyond insane!
The smallest one is two years old for crying out loud!
America, the home of the free.
The country everyone is dreaming about.
Not me.
I'm so EXTREMELY thankful that I don't live there because this is just so horrible I'm almost lost for words. This doesn't happen in my country.
If I lived there, I'd take them in today.
I only have one guestrooms but the children could get bunk beds and the mother could sleep on the couch.
But in my opinion those children should go to school. They need a place to go to outside where they live, especially in this situation.
She has tried hard to take care of her children. What happened to can happen to anyone. She is articulate and powerful but many homeless are mentally ill. Where is the government. Where is Elon musk? So many billionaires. How many homeless those billions take care of? The police won't help them. They just chase them away. Where I live you have to line up for a bed in the Salvation army. If they get in it costs $7 a night. Why isn't free?
They dgaf of anything but profits no matter who you elect it's the same shit interest interest interest if they cared about the people and the environment they would've done something long ago they could do it got the money and power for it
Most all people get turned down the first time they apply for disability, even the most severely disabled don’t usually get it until the 2nd time. So, if she needs it I hope she keeps trying. Her children are beautiful and seem so well behaved…I hope the very best for this family.
She needs a house & $$$ for a disability lawyer & paper trail from doctors. I hope this lil family gets the help they need.
The main issue is not how disabled you are really, it is how much medical documentation you have, if you have a long history of going to many various doctors, diagnoses, many medications, and consistency, along with documentation for all of it, then it isn't difficult to get approved, this is how I got approved the first time with no issues. It is a major problem when you are very poor to begin with and can't afford to go see all these different doctors and consistently take medications and obtain documentation.
You both are right…I never even thought about those things. It sounds so overwhelming and like such an uphill battle…
Why can't she apply for unemployment benefits , food stamps and child benefit.
She said she can't get disability but those other things will help support her she needs to apply get the ball rolling.
It’s so true, the system is meant to keep you down. Just keep fighting. Usually the 3rd or 4th time, with tons of documents and history, you get approved. I’m still fighting for it and am super sick. My doctor said “you basically have to be at deaths door to be approved”. Crazy.
She needs a gofundme. I’ll donate. More than once. God bless her
Hi - there is a go fund me link under the video to donate and help her
It’s amazing how this community of subscribers comes together. She’s already received over $2000 in donations on the go fund me! I pray we can get them out of this situation.
It's so beautiful to see! I think donations for Marissa and the kids now a little over $4100. One for Humanity today👏👏👏
Donation doesn't solve poverty , teach her a skill
Good. This makes my heart smile.
@@CC-meow7 which addiction does she had? she said she doesn't do drugs
@@CC-meow7 She doesn't do drugs. Not every homeless person does, and it's pretty shiddy for you to assume.
"The life is number one; the kids are number one as well." Wow! Message sis!! Preach! Definitely praying for this woman and her beautiful children.
That’s like saying “ the sky is blue “. A simple phrase. Nothing profound.
I wish her and kids well.
@@michaelcavallacci2945 the culture we live in today clearly doesn't value life. People say "FML" often as if it's not a big deal; people are shooting up schools and glorifying abortion which can be viewed as not caring about children at all. So, yes, to some those words are common sense, but to others they're not. And to hear a woman who is living on skid row with her children say these words shows she values life and not things. I pray her and her children have a bright future as well.
@@SandraHernandez-ih8bo I don’t think there is a single person on this planet that “ glorifies” abortion. I agree with the other things you said.
This is how I ended up homeless with my two children. Hospital bills from my youngest child being chronically ill. It took us 2 years to get back on our feet. This pandemic almost put us back on the streets. Thank goodness friends and family came through to help us get by for a few months. Once I got back on my feet again, first thing I did was pay everyone back. It’s so easy to end up in these situations in the USA. There is no real safety net. Medical and welfare refused to help us even though we are all US citizens. So, this country is a total joke when it comes to helping those who are truly in need.
Yes, I agree but they send billions to other countries while our citizens are desperate for help and can’t get it. Disgusting!
You're so resilient and strong ❤
Only the illegals and other countries get our tax money. Not a woman like this and these little angels. Shitting awful system bent on destroying families
@mydizzymelody. That’s a blessing that your family helped you with your situation. There’s this guy name Isaiah I’ve watched on TH-cam, and he helps out the homeless by giving them money and doing a go fund me page for individuals that were homeless and give them a apartment. Isaiah was once homeless. And he gives back to the community. And he does way more than the government itself.
@@keciaaskew5166 screw the government. We must be dependent on ourselves and each other if need be. Government Hates you.
More Marisa, please! ❤ her outlook is inspiring and her vibes are magnetic
You see nothing but light in her children’s eyes. Beautiful. She deserves a break. Sounds like her uncle will help. I admire her resilience and faith.
The fact that this mother hasn’t disown her kids and crumble she’s beautiful.
This woman brings me to tears with her strength! The knowledge she drops is priceless .
She seems so genuine, I hope she gets everything she hopes for.
So crazy I seen her walking in downtown with her kids , I was so concerned for her . Her kids holding eachother 1 by one holding hands . Poor babies . God protect them always 💗🙏
Im not sure how anyone could watch any content from this channel and still believe in a god. Why would a god allow this abuse and suffering, to children, like the sexual abuse stories on here, incest, i just dont understand. Some god.
@@stephaniebenitex1232 k? lol when did i say someone chooses to be in the streets?
Are you just completely ignoring every single thing i said?
I essentially said this channel is proof there is no God.
What kind of a shit God would allow this much human suffering, children getting physically and sexually abused, trafficked, i mean you ignored everything i said.
How can anyone watch anything on here and still believe in a god, its insane.
@@0Tyson0 Everything in the universe obeys the same law 1+1=1. Your body is a fractal, of a larger fractal inside a larger fractal. If you break down what makes the body you will find smaller fractals inside other fractals inside other fractals. So when you say GOD you don’t actually know what you are referring to because you don’t know yourself. You may have an idea because of what someone else said about it, but the truth can only be realized. 🫵 Have a brain just like everybody else….so what’s your problem(….)
@@justsaiyan8678 god doesnt exist, end of discussion. This isnt up for debate. If you believe in a god you should be institutionalized.

I donated goods to her and family a couple years ago through Mission Echo. I always wandered what happened since… I wanted to sponsor them last Christmas but Mission Echo says she loss contact with them, so I was hoping they’re ok ❤️
That was very sweet of you♡
Would have been better to donate towards the research of science. Instead, that was a waste of resources. There is about a 0% chance that her, or any of her kids, contribute to the advancement of humanity.

“ we’re blessed we’re still alive and still together “ WOW. Lord if I’m ever ungreatful for what I have please humble me. This is such a sad story but she is so uplifting.

Absolutely 💯
@@jeromeduffy9270 hope that rich e musk watches this with all the kids he wants to have and give help to these poor kids and ffamilys that need help now he dont know what to do with all his money help this world not mars
Damn. This is the first one that really got me. She reminds us all that it isn’t only drugs, crime or mental illness to end up homeless. Or less of home. When I was a single mother of a 2 yr old having just left her Dad, it took me 2 months living with family and friends. I finally found an apartment in my budget. And a daycare that would have to be affordable because I couldn’t get to the other ones before 5:30p from work. One month of missing a paycheck, and I would’ve been done. In a town that really really does not like the homeless.
Marisa reminds her kids of how many blessings they have. To be together. And she calls them “jewels” to be cherished, that can’t ever be replaced. Those babies are clean, well-fed and educated. Cared for and loved. That goes a hell of a long way in my book. Her devotion and fortitude are beyond admirable. ❤
That really hit when she said when you wake up another day. It's a day to be blessed despite what she's going through. This literally made me cry. Keep it up. I'm a huge fan of her
Such a strong resilient woman! Bless her and her adorable children!
Just donated towards Marisa and her beautiful children. LOVED to see how many people also donated and hope that this really changes their lives.
Mark, you have such an impact on the people on your channel!
How can we donate please
Where can I donate?
She is a prime example of a good mother! Never give up I’m praying for you! I’m from New Mexico I’m so sorry you were hit by a car GOD is good you will come out on top!
Tough lady, positive attitude is very hard to have in this situation. Keep up the great interviews, Mark.
I watch this from montreal canada and i lived in shelter for last 1 year it was like luxury living i had my own 3 bedroom apt my rent is only $300. I get lots of support from government even after i left shelter its the same thing in regular apartment. My kids wouldnt even know we going through tough times because they have everything they need! The states must help women and children like they do in canada!
I also live in Montreal , I can’t believe the 🇺🇸 would leave a mom and 4 kids in the streets
Wowwwww
Montreal representttttt
@@poppy8810 🇺🇸 is horrible!
I love her energy and her children are well behaved. She loves her children, and her children love her. I have no idea why she can't get public assistance, Medicaid and food stamps she needs them. I wish them the best in life. I love her babies. Please give my donation to Marisa and her children.
I hope he doesn’t.. she is a con artist
Who said she’s not getting medicaid and food stamps?
@@lethalbizzzybeee why do you say that? Do u know her? I hope this isn't true.
with all his money e musk wants more kids for the world or mars why cant he help these poor familys
@@anthonyharris3193 $2,000 have been donated to this family and counting.
Her attitude is such a stark contrast to many that we hear on this channel. And in life. She could so easily take a victim mentality with everything she's been through, but she truly feels blessed. So many people wear their trauma as a badge of honour and become defined by it. I wish I had a fraction of her strength.
I don't know how she can be so positive. Those kids are so adorable. Why, why, why, is assistance not helping them? Something is so broken in our system. If this family can't get help, we're all doomed.
I think she said that part of it was because two of the children are not US citizens. Horrible reasoning. But I guess a lot of citizens want strict immigration policy.
I can respect her because a lot of women just give up their kids to the system, I pray that she stays strong and find stability for her and the kids
They NEED to be in the system, if they are even her kids. Lets see birth certificates and ss#s. She should be in jail.
well, if your children are dirty, fed incorrectly, not receiving proper education, out there exposed to incredible danger, not giving up your children is a selfish move. that said, the system can be awful too. she seems like a very loving mother, i just wish the kids could be somewhere safer till she gets a place to raise them. poverty and the streets can be so traumatizing. it's a very complicated situation.
@@violetaviana1888 so complicated :( I noticed she said herself that she was raised in the system as a child, so perhaps she had bad experiences and couldn’t bear to send her kids on that path. It’s heartbreaking that these decisions have to be made because of something like not being able to pay medical bills 💔
@@violetaviana1888 It just depends on the home they’d get placed at. Nothing can replace the love of a united family.
Kids are better off in the system than on skid row
I’ve been here before. My mom was homeless when I was young and then later on when I was a teenager cause my mom got really sick. 17 years later, my husband and I are buying a house and moms living with us. God took care of us. You never know who’s going through it and you never know what these children can become. ♥️
Her babies are stunning, someone please help this family. I live in australia, if i could help her i would. So many wealthy people in America, and yet so much poverty. CRAZY
I am so glad your uncle, the church people and friends help you. You are blessed to have your uncle. You are an overcomer.
This is my favorite interview. Marisa, you are an encouragement. Your positivity is infectious and you radiate goodness. Your life has great purpose. And your children are angelic!
Wow I’m so thankful to have seen this. I have two sets of twins as a single mom and live with my mom just working as a hooters girl and I beat myself up everyday. But she reminded me that material things do not matter when GOD gives you life! I really needed to hear this!! Thank you so much I’m looking forward to an update!
It's going it gets better. Keep pushing Mama!!! Let it out when you need to & keep pushing. One day you will look up and not even know how you got to the other side of struggle-but will be so thankful to have arrived! Keep pushing! Bless your journey
You got this Mama. I was a single mom. I know it's really hard. But one day you'll look back & be surprised how far God has brought you and your babies.
If you want to tell yourself there is some deity in control of the lives of 8 BILLION PEOPLE, that's your right. But reality is that we're on our own. It sounds like you're doing what you have to do so that's great. I hope it all works out for you and your kids.
We can all learn a lot from her perspective of life. I like that she made the point - you have to watch your children NO MATTER where you’re at. Predators are everywhere! High and low places. May her and her children continue to be blessed ❤
Such a great Mum, in such a hard place. So much respect.
You have an interesting perspective on what a good mom is lol
If I was in her position, I'd be a mess. She has avoided drugs and is super protective of her kids, I think that's a lot better than most stories I see of people on skid row.
@@dmb8690 she’s trying her best leave her alone 💯
@@foreverrr_tatum no trying her best is having a job and knowing if you're so unstable that you probably shouldn't have kids.. Doing her best is not what she is doing,she is lazy and setting these kids up for failure because she makes bad decisions so spare me your liberal dogsh!t
@@dmb8690 You seem to be implying she's not a good mother as if she put herself in this situation. Get fucked*
It’s amazing how your life can change in the blink of an eye. These kids are beautiful, and her faith is admirable. God bless them all! Everything will work out for the best💜
What lovely kids, I really hope this mum gets a home for them all, cannot begin to imagine being in her shoes.❤️
These children are beautiful, they look clean and healthy and I really liked how the mom talked and presented herself. I just saw the other video where they got an RV. I just pray they get to her Uncles and get the children situated in one place.God bless this family.
It's so sad that people can end up on the street just because they had an accident. There's something seriously wrong with this world. It makes me so sad. I'm sending all my love to this lady and her adorable kids ❤
That only happens in the US of the ‘first world countries’.
@@collageen True
@@collageen yes, I am shocked that this is even possible, mindblowing that system 😳
The kids are behaving like kids do when they're normal, loved, and well taken care of. I'm disgusted with some of these comments. They'll be here in 15 years?? NO! they have a chance.. you can tell they're going to be just fine. Love does things that we could never imagine. 💜 *hugs*
I know the thread you're talking about. None of those people on that thread watched or LISTENED to this woman's story. One person assumed she was an addict. Another suggested a hotel room, which she currently lives in. Another rambled on and on that they would beg CPS to take their kids---even if it meant going to their office and doing drugs in front of them.
Everyone on that thread has been Zombified and has no frontal cortex left.
@@mackthnife3 Bullshit. She has well behaved children. And not some Adhd problem child bouncing off the walls. All 4 sat on the floor and minded their own business. They're used to their mom speaking with people. Not once did any of them interrupt. Not even the 2 year old. 🙄
Sick of you weirdos trying to find something wrong with everyone. There's nothing wrong with her kids. They're beautiful and happy despite their situation.
@@AnastasiaLUVSU Are you saying that people with ADHD are problems?
The kids are definitely well behaved. She really does seem like she is doing her best.
@@ChelleSimon i agree. When you love and cherish kids, you can live anywhere.. they don't care. She didn't have to get after then once... respectful kids, that's what i see.
We all need to pitch in and help this family off the streets this is the most sad I’ve felt on this channel so far
Yes please 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️
She is something else. Such resilience. Inspiring. As a mother and a woman I am deeply inspired.
