I've been living out of my car for over a month simply because I didn't have the heart to kick my sons out and the leasing company holds your deposit till everyone leaves so thats that. At least I have my car and barely keeping my sanity. 7 years!! My heart goes out to you! Please bless this woman.
char charles Thank you Char, I am a mother to my sons though. I'm struggling and it's hits me hardest mentally. I wish I had the power to end all homelessness!! I've been watching these videos for a while now and each one of these souls are precious and don't deserve being overlooked especially by family. I've helped whenever I could even if I was struggling because I know how it is. I was so hungry last week and all I had was a microwavable popcorn packet so I went into a 7-11 to ask if I could borrow their microwave.....the employee said only if I purchase something. I will never give business to 7-11 again. Have a blessed day!
Power ofLove: You're welcome. My heart goes out to you, and I hope you get out of this situation soon. You are doing right by your son's. I'd do the same for mine.
Travis Rabble: That's rude! This is an example of how misunderstood homelessness is. You don't need to have money these days to have a cell phone & one can connect at a local hotel spot, or library.
Thanks for sharing your story. I know many years have gone by since this video but i really hope your life has gotten much better since. Keep praying. There is power in prayer.
Why over 9k views and a few hundred likes? My heart bleeds for this woman. I try to help as much as I can..I am praying that all these people find a home..these are beautiful people and it makes my ❤️sad
Gina Canale That’s awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your story. You are incredibly strong and admirable in your perseverance. Hopefully things are alright for you now and you can stay off the streets! God bless you!
Someone needs to come forward to buy land for a safe place for the broken souls...Implimenting a safe step plan for those to help themselves and others.
I'm surprised the shelter makes residents hand over half of their food stamps in order to get help. Is this legal? I don't think so. It's meant to feed the recipient, not to be bartered for something in return.
She gets the food stamps to make sure she has enough to eat and the shelter is giving her food, so it makes sense that she gives them the food stamps. It is still a good deal for her because as a homeless she is not able to cook her food and they are doing it for her. Without the shelter she would have to eat raw food or buy expensive prepared food which would be too expensive for food stamps.
A former resident told me that the white plains ny shelter takes most if not all of your salary if you work. I think that should be a crime. I've Ben homeless for most of the year after my place burnt down with most of my precious possessions...I can't deal with the snoring, smell of.multiple other homeless people at night, the potential for theft, assault, harassment from other residents who may have serious criminal background, and staff....
The system really is against the "poor" (financially embarrassed).....only money n power counts. Even the homeless pay taxes when we purchase goods. No one should have to endure such challenges.....hardships causes one to age faster with additional health issues. Try to imagine what it must be like, when you have no safe place to rest yourself at night!!!!!????
I don’t understand why you people of America are too disconnected from your families!? I mean no disrespect but your society is lacking the the family role. And I believe it’s the most important role in every country. We as people of Saudi Arabia have families supporting us and it’s near impossible to be homeless in Saudi Arabia. Even the poor people have a shelter to live in. Our families provide us and help us even if someone is broke they will help him. If you don’t have money for your weeding your family will support you and also in your wedding day guests will give you money to support you. It’s insane what happens to America. And I feel so so bad for the homeless in your country.
Lord I pray for this woman , and others that are homeless that your Protection, and Blessings, and Favor be over them. I pray they seek you Lord, and for their Salvation. In Jesus name. I pray ask. Amen.
It really would be nice that people stop Criminalizing and judging the homeless every body has issues financial health care related and the most of us are just one paycheck away from being on the streets we need a secure funding source for homeless and housing assistance not cutting them this going too make the homeless situation much worse than it is now
I'm living in a shelter and I have to pay 100$ in food stamps plus another 75 ever week. I have a full-time job now and I'm looking for an apartment. I don't think it's fair, but I don't have a choice. It's "Christian" shelter. Yeah right ...
Exactly. Thank you for your comment. There is a common misconception that homeless people are getting a free ride; that we are ungrateful leeches. The truth is so far from that. The amount of income and food stamps that many shelters demand would not equal anything close to a fair price for the heinous, degrading living conditions given in exchange. Non-homeless people can't even begin to imagine what we go through. Who would give up half, or all of their insufficient grocery money, and the majority of their hard won income for the privilege of sleeping on a floor or cot in a crowded, filthy room? Non-homeless would feel outrage if their landlords yelled at them, told them what and when to eat, and refused to let them be int their apartments except for a handful of hours at night--regardless of their actual schedules and needs. This ignorance needs to stop.
Starting new month ... My stamps are gone (income) I have work so hard to come this far. I have never done drugs or drink. Just looking for chance to start over. Like I said, I have job and just got a car. Please people don't give up! You've got to want it more than anything. Your life is in your hands! Take control of it...
It seems like to get anything in this country, you have to have a lot of hustle, drive and support. If you are lacking in any of these, it is hard. You basically have to fight and scrounge for whatever you get, and then fight to hang on to it. Some people would sooner just give up and drop out of the system. She spends her days panhandling like it is no use to try to fit in any other way. It is too bad the shelters don't offer some kind of employment for these people so they don't have to spend their days panhandling. There is probably something she could be doing and earning some money.
I pray that she gets housing. I question the legality of a homeless person having to surrender half of their foodstamps to the shelter. Does anyone know if this is a common practice among shelters? Or at just that shelter. Our goverment needs to start a national program to end homelessness. To continue to sweep it under the rug is not a solution. If America is going to continue to be a great nation. Then the powers that be need to start a national program to end homelessness. People raise more hell about abandoned animals then step right over a human being on the street. The animals welfare is important to me also. So why aren't the homeless just as important? We as a nation need to lobby our Congressmen for a positive solution. Plus everyone who is able needs to open up their eyes in their own neighborhood. No matter how small any help is appreciated. Just a few pairs of socks or a blanket or some food. To all people in America Please just make an effort to help anyway you can. Don't turn a blind eye. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Peace
Victoria Evans yes i heard some shelters ask for your food stamps thats wrong instead of taking there food stamps away oh by the way the amonts are being cut back on so that leave the homeless with less buying for food so i don't blame them for not staying in the shelters and being screwed over by homeless shelter industry remember in this country every thing is under capitalism including the poverty programs sad i know it rich get richer the poor get poorer and top 1 percent control's 90 percent of the world's wealth ps on oct 1 2018 the 2019 budget will cut sec 8 by 9 billion for that year equals more homeless families and people welcome too 3rd world usa
And they wonder why people choose the street over shelter.inhumane hardly describes the situation of a shelter taking half the piddling amount of food stamps the gov gives out!
I have witnessed with my own eyes of which she speaks playing out in my own community mostly due to addiction/mental illness. It's overwhelming and we have a population of only 166,000. I was just reading that serious consideration is being given to bringing back asylums as a solution to homelessness. I find this disturbing to hear. I hope this won't become the solution because clearly this lady is thinking coherently and am concerned that folks like her will be forced into one or anyone who happens to end up homeless due to health issues or loss of a job. Could be any of us including myself. And I fear that those who need intensive stabilization will remain there indefinitely without any hope of getting out. We will all need to vote no on any future measure supporting this. I'm glad she is sheltered and that she will have permanent shelter soon.
Sometimes the children are living in a place where they can't take on another person. Lease regulations and boarding rules. That's the only thing I can think of as why your own family won't take u in. I feel for this woman.
after watching 50+ homeless videos my common sense simply tells me that many of these people (not all!) are concealing something. They don't tell the full story, they hide that distinct piece of their story that would give us listeners this "aha!" experience.
I don't understand, if she is comfortable in Delaware, why she left to protest in Philadelphia. How did she get to Philadelphia? Why doesn't she go back?
Please know many homeless people were not protesting - they found safe places to stay. Relocating is not always best for many reasons. Last of services in other locations is a big one
Invisible People That's ridiculous. Delaware gives handouts on top of handouts and a lot of people double dip in Maryland. Delaware caters endlessly to homeless people UNLESS the homeless person makes an ass out of themselves somehow.
iloveyouamberappel Delaware will only hold ppl for a month,, and there are only two in Wilmington,, but I did get a place I have been in my own now for a year thank you
We need more Shelters & Long term housing!!! (SECULAR)The religious charities are FAILING the "Homeless"(Houseless)in America! Thought & Prayers Don't WORK!! Btw, I was on the Streets for 8+years!!
She said middle child means has at least 3 kids and none of them taking care of her ? if she wasnt abusive or anything when they are young wow just wow
Trump needs to be doing something about this homeless problem instead of the lining his pockets him and all his cronies Trump and his cronies are getting rich why the poor people getting poor and suffering this is sad to me I don't know how the homeless thing affects anybody else but it does affect me and very much is terrible this shouldn't be happening it's got to be something that can be done about this this is so so sad it's heartbreaking
The devil laugh and laugh ... when we blame people like her , for what they are into ,, but all this , is the devil Work , OUR LORD JESUCHRIST straight up the devil and the demons , down , down to hell , and forbidding them to harm another human being , in this World .🌎. We need to be more compassionate , and help those people if we have the opportunity to do So , and the name of OUR LORD JESUCHRIST , hoping that one day , this world 🌍 became a better place to live with more dignity as a human being suppose live in this Land . OUR LORD JESUCHRIST bless everyone and Merry Christmas and happy New Year amen 🙏
Children have been dying at a fast rate because the authority in the home . .has been reckless and careless, depended on additions- that they can't rule their homes well.
Alcohol, drugs and sex soon destroys the hearts of those in position of authority- that they can rule correctly and make sound decisions too uphold justice or defend the rights of the poor.
Habitat for humanity builds housing for low income people..why could they not help build some sort of temporary humane housing for the homeless..companies are stepping up to put up money designed to help the problem of homelessness..maybe give some of that money to habitat and its volunteer force to build?
How can a child allow their mother to live on the streets? I don't care if I lived in a one room shack I wouldnt dare let my mother live on the streets.
A certain section of Philly is drug infested and dangerous. I hope she is not on the streets in that area. Other than being in a shelter she doesn't seem to have any plans to improve her situation. I think for many that is the sad case. They've lost hope.
Jan Warriner + Every city and town has big drug problems.......you can 'thank' your government for that, they are the drug cartels! Bush's, Clinton's,et.al. You can also 'thank' all the drug pushers you people call "Doctors" and "Pharmacists" as they are practicing Pharmakia or WitchCraft. A sorcery of 'medicine' with NO care for health, as they NEVER CURE anyone, but only 'treat' the symptoms and NEVER the root cause. That homeless woman is living in reality while everyone around her, trying to ignore her, IS the problem; because they are living in a false reality and denying all of humanity around them to their own peril. Once you choose to stop seeing others in need as yourself reflected (fellow human), your own humanity diminishes, you become cold hearted, unfeeling, non-human. Thousands of children are homeless and "Americans" can't 'fix' that but we can launch a "Military Campaign" is MINUTES!! What homeless person have you fed or clothed or given a couple $$$ to or helped in any way?? Do you have any clue as to how difficult it is to just obtain a shower when you are homeless?? Who's going to even talk to a 'stinky' person, much less hire them??? Your lack of knowledge and compassion are showing. Her hope as All of our HOPE lies in YOU.......... H-helping (that's an ACTION word) O-others (the opposite of Self) P-provides (to supply, to prepare) E-ease =(Ease--- a quiet state; tranquility; freedom from pain, concern, anxiety.) Imagine the anxiety one has not KNOWING where or if the next meal is coming from, where will they be safe, where will they sleep and the millions of others questions that go with NOT having the convenience of getting out of bed with Everything needed to exist in 'society' right where you left it when you crawled into that comfy bed. Try carrying your whole life on your back every day all day long and see how it feels!!
Mark Lloyd The error you made is two-fold. (1) My remark was certainly not meant to be unkind. (2) I've been homeless. So rather than being as preachy and JUDGMENTAL as your remarks let me say you need to be careful not "to throw the first stone". YOUR FAULTS ARE GLARING.
char charles of course! Totally agree. Where are the outreach people? The person on the street that offers her lunch? Anyone, anywhere? No one. That's how hope gets lost for many. Worst yet just like she stated Philly is a dangerous city. The Kensington section is now so bad with drugs and other things/murders/deaths from OD right on the street that the police recently had a sting..not for the users but the dealers. Fentanyl is killing off the users there. Many are young people. Crime goes up, up, up in that area. It's out of control. I know. I worked in the city. I knew it firsthand. Even in the "nice" part you can be killed by a drive by and you weren't meant to be the target. I hope she can somehow get out of Philly.
Go to church lady is my suggestion, pray to God, He will help you if you are honest. Stop addiction if you have one, read the Holy Bible for answers. Look for some work. Best to you !
Yo Yo her you can pray all you want ,, you gotta put the work in ,, and no I did not drink or do drugs ,, and still don’t ,, but I did it ,, if you don’t have to much wrong with you it’s hard ,, I been in my place for a year now and bless you
people wanting to be control freaks over what others have. its sad that people got nothing better to do. trying to institutionalize homelessness. homeless people didnt get homeless because they are bad money managers
If you think about just public authorities your wrong, because authority starts in the home, in the church, and in government, and all such jobs that hold a position of authority over others.. it is not a good idea for you too use those types of additions for leisure.
How about encouraging them when they talk like this lady did at the end of the video, it’s like your programmed to ask your same questions but what you should be doing is listening to them and helping them, please don’t chase money off of views because that’s about as cold hearted as it gets
I can see where you are coming from. At the same time, he is listening to their stories- this channel is an art project, in a way. It’s a collection of stories, hopes, dreams, and struggles. I find it beautiful how despite him asking similar questions every time, he still receives such vivid and personal variations in people’s answers. Perhaps he does cheer them on when the camera cuts off- some might argue that it would seem egotistical or lackadaisical for him to tell them to be chipper on camera. One might say that unscripted goodness when nobody is watching is the truest kind. There are a multitude of factors. Still, I think that this man is doing a fantastic thing. I have learned so much from his videos- there is so much to learn from listening to others. In sum, of course improvements can be made. Though we should also try to put ourselves in the position of others- that’s what this channel is all about :)! Also, there are no ads on these videos as far as I know, meaning that he doesn’t actually make any money from them.
Isn’t that illegal? For somebody to take half your food stamps? I truly think it is but I could be wrong. I really hoped that her last wish would have been for someone else but three wishes were all on her. I almost thought she would say and world peace. That would definitely be my first wish.
The Holy Bible - The Book of Estras 2:20 Guard the rights of the widow, secure justice for the ward, give to the needy, defend the orphan , cloth the naked, care for the injured and the weak, Do not ridicule the lame, protect the maimed, and let the blind have avfision of God's splendor. Protect the old and young within our walls (your city). The rich are to take in those who are cast out. And I the Lord will give you the first place in my resurrection. 2 Estradas 3.28 They abound in wealth, though they are unmindful of your commandments - Though shall not kill. Love your neighbror as yourself. Estras 7:72 Those who live on the earth shall be tormented because they had understanding, they committed injustice, and though they received the commandments of the Lord , they did not keep them, obtained the law yet dealt unfaithfully. Estradas 8:56 For while we lived and committed injustice, we did not consider what we should suffer after death. Estradas 11:41 You have judgeed the earth, but not with truth, for you have oppressed the meek and injured the peaceable, you have hated those who tell the truth, and loved liars; you have destroyed the homes of those who brought forth fruit, and have liad low the walls of those who did you no harm. Your insolence has come up before the Most High, and your pride to the Mighty One. The Most High has looked at his times; now they have ended, and his ages have reached completion. Esradas 15:22 My right hand will not spare the sinners, and my sword will not cease from those who shed innocent blood on earth. And a fire went forth from his wrath, and consumed the foundations of the earth and the sinners, like burnt straw. Alas for those who sin and not observe my commandments, says the Lord. Repent! Turn from your wicked and evil ways.
Because it’s nearly impossible to get any job when homeless, if there was jobs. I’m 57 and no one is hiring seniors. Add homelessness - a job is not happening. What these type programs do is increase panhandling.
Best society is where no child of God should suffer in his land , what so good about money when we see poor cleaning homeless inside society. Does poverty has an end beside dying ?
I know it is difficult get disability, but I wonder if she did at least try to get medical disability since she did have a stroke. If she was not left with permanent disability because of the stroke she wouldn't meet the requirements, but if she has lasting disability she may have qualified. Maybe she could get SSI?
Unfortunately alot of the homeless are lazy and want a hand out. Someone to foot the bill. We have to work like anyone else. Now if you have a disability that's different. You need help. But some of these folks want a free ride.
I think payable shelters are affordable housing. If the shelters can provide a secure and clean place for a cheap price this is much better than sleeping rough. If they cannot pay even a small fee, how and when they will be able to pay a rent? Is it forbidden to sell candies or roses on the streets? Many people who won't give alms could buy something just to help the homeless. I do.
since 2017, I notice there is less derogatory comments on "invisible people" utube videos, if u don't believe me check the comments on 2010 "invisible people" . so...Mark Horvath! U R MAKING A DIFFERENCE... and where the fuck is your Wikipedia page...u deserve one for sure...anyone?! I don't know how 2 do that
My 86 year old indigent mother lives with me. It is very hard, but I would never let her sleep on the streets.
Proud of you
Hard- very hard- because you support her financially? Hard in other ways too?
Never. 😮
She seems like a sweet lady. Good bless her.
Wow in America you will have family And still homeless. 😭😭😭😭
Yup! It happened to me.

Delaware is actually seeing more and more people from the cities come here. Our homeless population has doubled.
I worry about the future of this country and our people. This homeless crisis seems to be steadily increasing
Someone needs to come forward to buy land for a safe place for the broken souls...Implimenting a safe step plan for those to help themselves and others.
Lord bless the the homeless people around the world, lord these people need your love in blessing

It’s very common anymore. The sober living houses have been doing it for years. There is just not enough funding.

I don't understand if she has a daughter then why is she not living with her
Often families are struggling themselves
Invisible People, that is so true and so very sad. Don't families struggle together anymore? 💔
char charles 🙌
Sometimes the children are living in a place where they can't take on another person. Lease regulations and boarding rules. That's the only thing I can think of as why your own family won't take u in. I feel for this woman.
after watching 50+ homeless videos my common sense simply tells me that many of these people (not all!) are concealing something.
They don't tell the full story, they hide that distinct piece of their story that would give us listeners this "aha!" experience.
I love here. Philly is a Wild West. That shelter needs to be ashamed of itself.
That´s f*cked up!
America got all of theses homeless people on the street, and putting imagine in hotels. Its a sad day for homeless people in America.
Come and live with me anytime 😢😢😢❤❤
I don't understand, if she is comfortable in Delaware, why she left to protest in Philadelphia. How did she get to Philadelphia? Why doesn't she go back?
Please know many homeless people were not protesting - they found safe places to stay.
Relocating is not always best for many reasons. Last of services in other locations is a big one
Invisible People That's ridiculous. Delaware gives handouts on top of handouts and a lot of people double dip in Maryland. Delaware caters endlessly to homeless people UNLESS the homeless person makes an ass out of themselves somehow.
iloveyouamberappel Delaware will only hold ppl for a month,, and there are only two in Wilmington,, but I did get a place I have been in my own now for a year thank you
"The last shall be first."
why isn't she working? given 3 wishes and doesn't wish for a job to actually support herself?
Those living like this . .are careless and reckless. . . And it can only get worse, if we don't turn back to God !
I visited Philadelphia on my trip to USA just to feel the vibe of the city Bruce Springsteen was singing about
@@provisionalhypothesis didnt find it that bad, but what do I know, I was there for a day
How can they take her food stamps legally..and half?
Sitting on the Sidewalk of Philadelphia for seven (7) years seems terrible.
🙏
Homelessness, hunger, and human rights. Let's get our shit together already.
good luck !
We need more Shelters & Long term housing!!! (SECULAR)The religious charities are FAILING the "Homeless"(Houseless)in America! Thought & Prayers Don't WORK!! Btw, I was on the Streets for 8+years!!
She said people are crazier now than what they were...omg
Meth.😮!
"..never have to be worried again.."
'to be okay' That's not too much to ask.
She said middle child means has at least 3 kids and none of them taking care of her ? if she wasnt abusive or anything when they are young wow just wow
Trump needs to be doing something about this homeless problem instead of the lining his pockets him and all his cronies Trump and his cronies are getting rich why the poor people getting poor and suffering this is sad to me I don't know how the homeless thing affects anybody else but it does affect me and very much is terrible this shouldn't be happening it's got to be something that can be done about this this is so so sad it's heartbreaking
Phili is too cold... No wonder 1/4 of U.S homeless population live in Cali...
The devil laugh and laugh ... when we blame people like her , for what they are into ,, but all this , is the devil Work , OUR LORD JESUCHRIST straight up the devil and the demons , down , down to hell , and forbidding them to harm another human being , in this World .🌎. We need to be more compassionate , and help those people if we have the opportunity to do So , and the name of OUR LORD JESUCHRIST , hoping that one day , this world 🌍 became a better place to live with more dignity as a human being suppose live in this Land . OUR LORD JESUCHRIST bless everyone and Merry Christmas and happy New Year amen 🙏
Children have been dying at a fast rate because the authority in the home . .has been reckless and careless, depended on additions- that they can't rule their homes well.
She doesn’t have support.
Have on tax return money donation box to help the poor homeless
Alcohol, drugs and sex soon destroys the hearts of those in position of authority- that they can rule correctly and make sound decisions too uphold justice or defend the rights of the poor.
Habitat for humanity builds housing for low income people..why could they not help build some sort of temporary humane housing for the homeless..companies are stepping up to put up money designed to help the problem of homelessness..maybe give some of that money to habitat and its volunteer force to build?
How can a child allow their mother to live on the streets? I don't care if I lived in a one room shack I wouldnt dare let my mother live on the streets.
Not my parents. Never.😮
How couldn't her daughter keep her? How does she sleep at night
Always wonder what the whole story really is from homeless people, there has to be much more than what they say on what got them homeless!
What the hell kind of shelter is this
A certain section of Philly is drug infested and dangerous. I hope she is not on the streets in that area. Other than being in a shelter she doesn't seem to have any plans to improve her situation. I think for many that is the sad case. They've lost hope.
Jan Warriner + Every city and town has big drug problems.......you can 'thank' your government for that, they are the drug cartels! Bush's, Clinton's,et.al. You can also 'thank' all the drug pushers you people call "Doctors" and "Pharmacists" as they are practicing Pharmakia or WitchCraft. A sorcery of 'medicine' with NO care for health, as they NEVER CURE anyone, but only 'treat' the symptoms and NEVER the root cause.
That homeless woman is living in reality while everyone around her, trying to ignore her, IS the problem; because they are living in a false reality and denying all of humanity around them to their own peril. Once you choose to stop seeing others in need as yourself reflected (fellow human), your own humanity diminishes, you become cold hearted, unfeeling, non-human. Thousands of children are homeless and "Americans" can't 'fix' that but we can launch a "Military Campaign" is MINUTES!!
What homeless person have you fed or clothed or given a couple $$$ to or helped in any way?? Do you have any clue as to how difficult it is to just obtain a shower when you are homeless?? Who's going to even talk to a 'stinky' person, much less hire them???
Your lack of knowledge and compassion are showing. Her hope as All of our HOPE lies in YOU..........
H-helping (that's an ACTION word)
O-others (the opposite of Self)
P-provides (to supply, to prepare)
E-ease =(Ease--- a quiet state; tranquility; freedom from pain, concern, anxiety.)
Imagine the anxiety one has not KNOWING where or if the next meal is coming from, where will they be safe, where will they sleep and the millions of others questions that go with NOT having the convenience of getting out of bed with Everything needed to exist in 'society' right where you left it when you crawled into that comfy bed. Try carrying your whole life on your back every day all day long and see how it feels!!
Mark Lloyd The error you made is two-fold. (1) My remark was certainly not meant to be unkind. (2) I've been homeless. So rather than being as preachy and JUDGMENTAL as your remarks let me say you need to be careful not "to throw the first stone". YOUR FAULTS ARE GLARING.
char charles of course! Totally agree. Where are the outreach people? The person on the street that offers her lunch? Anyone, anywhere? No one. That's how hope gets lost for many.
Worst yet just like she stated Philly is a dangerous city. The Kensington section is now so bad with drugs and other things/murders/deaths from OD right on the street that the police recently had a sting..not for the users but the dealers. Fentanyl is killing off the users there. Many are young people. Crime goes up, up, up in that area. It's out of control. I know. I worked in the city. I knew it firsthand. Even in the "nice" part you can be killed by a drive by and you weren't meant to be the target. I hope she can somehow get out of Philly.
This is why we are seeing all these strange sights . . Parents going to prison, many homeless. Children raped and murdered.
I feel bad for her, but her story is not adding up right. Why will her daughter kick her out into the street hmm?
She can get cna from a biz and go to work taking care of the elderly!
CNA ? And just how would she get there and back before the shelter closes or pay for her books?
she is hiding something! I use to see her at truck stops,getting in an out of trucks,maybe she is a swift driver on vacation!
threeicys maybe you’re right but voc rehab should be able to get her through the cna program! I think cna is better than the streets
Walk on the wrong side after dark and you'll end up playing the harp!
Go to church lady is my suggestion, pray to God, He will help you if you are honest.
Stop addiction if you have one, read the Holy Bible for answers.
Look for some work.
Best to you !
Yo Yo her you can pray all you want ,, you gotta put the work in ,, and no I did not drink or do drugs ,, and still don’t ,, but I did it ,, if you don’t have to much wrong with you it’s hard ,, I been in my place for a year now and bless you
people wanting to be control freaks over what others have. its sad that people got nothing better to do. trying to institutionalize homelessness. homeless people didnt get homeless because they are bad money managers
Don't just ask alot of questions help too
Sad

Addictions such as anything that impairs your thinking, makes you drowsy.
If you think about just public authorities your wrong, because authority starts in the home, in the church, and in government, and all such jobs that hold a position of authority over others.. it is not a good idea for you too use those types of additions for leisure.
How about encouraging them when they talk like this lady did at the end of the video, it’s like your programmed to ask your same questions but what you should be doing is listening to them and helping them, please don’t chase money off of views because that’s about as cold hearted as it gets
I can see where you are coming from. At the same time, he is listening to their stories- this channel is an art project, in a way. It’s a collection of stories, hopes, dreams, and struggles. I find it beautiful how despite him asking similar questions every time, he still receives such vivid and personal variations in people’s answers. Perhaps he does cheer them on when the camera cuts off- some might argue that it would seem egotistical or lackadaisical for him to tell them to be chipper on camera. One might say that unscripted goodness when nobody is watching is the truest kind. There are a multitude of factors. Still, I think that this man is doing a fantastic thing. I have learned so much from his videos- there is so much to learn from listening to others.
In sum, of course improvements can be made. Though we should also try to put ourselves in the position of others- that’s what this channel is all about :)!
Also, there are no ads on these videos as far as I know, meaning that he doesn’t actually make any money from them.
President Trump, are you listening!? This is my beloved 'City of Brotherly Love', and this woman needs help NOW.
Isn’t that illegal? For somebody to take half your food stamps? I truly think it is but I could be wrong. I really hoped that her last wish would have been for someone else but three wishes were all on her. I almost thought she would say and world peace. That would definitely be my first wish.
The Holy Bible - The Book of Estras 2:20 Guard the rights of the widow, secure justice for the ward, give to the needy, defend the orphan , cloth the naked, care for the injured and the weak, Do not ridicule the lame, protect the maimed, and let the blind have avfision of God's splendor. Protect the old and young within our walls (your city). The rich are to take in those who are cast out. And I the Lord will give you the first place in my resurrection.
2 Estradas 3.28 They abound in wealth, though they are unmindful of your commandments - Though shall not kill. Love your neighbror as yourself.
Estras 7:72 Those who live on the earth shall be tormented because they had understanding, they committed injustice, and though they received the commandments of the Lord , they did not keep them, obtained the law yet dealt unfaithfully. Estradas 8:56 For while we lived and committed injustice, we did not consider what we should suffer after death.
Estradas 11:41 You have judgeed the earth, but not with truth, for you have oppressed the meek and injured the peaceable, you have hated those who tell the truth, and loved liars; you have destroyed the homes of those who brought forth fruit, and have liad low the walls of those who did you no harm. Your insolence has come up before the Most High, and your pride to the Mighty One. The Most High has looked at his times; now they have ended, and his ages have reached completion. Esradas 15:22 My right hand will not spare the sinners, and my sword will not cease from those who shed innocent blood on earth. And a fire went forth from his wrath, and consumed the foundations of the earth and the sinners, like burnt straw. Alas for those who sin and not observe my commandments, says the Lord. Repent! Turn from your wicked and evil ways.
Obviously the shelter only gives you a bed, why should they be responsible for everything else? She looks capable to get a part time job
Because it’s nearly impossible to get any job when homeless, if there was jobs. I’m 57 and no one is hiring seniors. Add homelessness - a job is not happening.
What these type programs do is increase panhandling.
GREENLALI no I was not aloud to work ,, the doctors said no ,, but I made it thank you
sad
Best society is where no child of God should suffer in his land , what so good about money when we see poor cleaning homeless inside society. Does poverty has an end beside dying ?
All she has to do is go to McDonald's and get a job. People make life harder than it is
boogieman 48 she needs internet a phone to set up interview then a bank account without an address and a place to get clean to serve food... etc
I know it is difficult get disability, but I wonder if she did at least try to get medical disability since she did have a stroke. If she was not left with permanent disability because of the stroke she wouldn't meet the requirements, but if she has lasting disability she may have qualified. Maybe she could get SSI?
If she's over 60 with verifiable disability she could apply.
America, where if one is the average Jane or Joe they're screwed.
Get a job... most of these homeless prefer this lifestyle to doing actual work.
So this is what the occupy movement really is?
Unfortunately alot of the homeless are lazy and want a hand out. Someone to foot the bill. We have to work like anyone else. Now if you have a disability that's different. You need help. But some of these folks want a free ride.
I really hate the three-wishes question.
I think payable shelters are affordable housing. If the shelters can provide a secure and clean place for a cheap price this is much better than sleeping rough. If they cannot pay even a small fee, how and when they will be able to pay a rent? Is it forbidden to sell candies or roses on the streets? Many people who won't give alms could buy something just to help the homeless. I do.
Philadelphia is the best 😂😂😂
since 2017, I notice there is less derogatory comments on "invisible people" utube videos, if u don't believe me check the comments on 2010 "invisible people" . so...Mark Horvath! U R MAKING A DIFFERENCE... and where the fuck is your Wikipedia page...u deserve one for sure...anyone?!
I don't know how 2 do that
I didn't watch but if the title is true that's not cool unless of course she chose of her own free will

Is it because of her stroke she cant work? This is a real question not a snarky remark.
I noticed that none of her 3 wishes was to have a job.
She has nice teeth and nails
