I have been to New York during summer vacation with my. All in all New York is of course a stunning City. But when you go theyre as a tourist, what travel platforms dont tell you is that New York is far away from perfect. When i got theyre I was shocked. The street of our hotel is not one of the busiest ones and as soon as you get away from the main streets, you get to experiense the bad side of New York to. Every 100 meters or so you see people laying on the Street. Someone of them are begging others just "accept" theyre faith. From day one I felt so unconfortable. I mean it cant be true that this is suppost to be normal. What shocked me even more is that homeless people dont make up the higher amount of people in the city and still nobody even cares. People just ignore them. Everybody is busy theyre. But the homeless people are even present on the biggest streets with probaly thousands of people walking past them every day. And still not much people care. All the people around me had no eye for them and I felt like i am the only one who even cares. I felt like I had to do something. Even small things can make a change. For example we homeless people near our street holding the door of a seven eleven shop. One time we gave one of them a bit. On another day we gave a street artist at time square money.OneAnother time in central Park. At one day we had a especially hearth breaking moment. we had been in an imbiss and they gave us three kiwis for free. Me and my parents werent hungry anymore and we desided to give them to a homeless person together with a spoon and a knife. We ended up giving it to a mother with a child who had a sign that asked for food. I was happy to see how much she liked. On one evening. I literally had a breakdown and I cried because I just wasnt able to hold it back anymore. I really felt alone in this situation because I felt like i am the only one who cares around. What world are we living in where this is suppost to be completely normal. If this is suppost to be the city where dreams come true then i dont wanna know how the situation is in other really big citys around the world. So if you read this comment and you life or go to New York or another big city then be human and do something for people in need. If the politicians dont do something then we have to stand up and help those people. If everybody does small things like this examples we can change a lot.
We got to bring in Trump who was in favor of Rising America, put money on American infrastructure, housing food education security for people of America rather than supporting military based overseas, and Aid to overseas countries. America is calling to bring money for America and Americans rather than thinking for Overseas
@@nyawalpuot the question is deeper than that though...why do we live anywhere...what holds our roots to the crapiest places to live in...what's keeping him rooted there
These 2 people seem like they have what it takes to recover from this situation they seem very kind humble and well grounded I hope they find their way back God bless them both
As of 11 days ago, Im no longer homeless. Never touched an illegal drug in my life. Circumstances can put many people for many different reasons without a roof over their heads. I was only in a tent for 3 weeks in the Winter...and it SUCKED! Best of luck to these 2!
My heart goes out for homeless people . It's so dangerous especially for women. You would be exhausted as you wouldn't be able to sleep properly on the streets ..You'd be getting sick because of lack of sleep and the stress you'd be under ....
Courtney you’re awesome thanks for sharing your story & bringing awareness to such an important issue. One day at a time! Stay sober & keep your focus ❤️
@@11NPG he relapsed and was quite abusive to her, they have broken up and court was kicked out of the shelter. He has been trashing her online too and I think he drained her bank account with all of her savings. Thankfully she now has a room in an apartment now and is officially no longer homeless!
Ppl are so unaware of the fact that once you become homeless the new situation keeps you constantly preoccupied on trying to cope and survive each day through to night and overnight it's not like you're sleeping 8 hours in a bed, inside well nourished and go to a steady paying job w bank account w savings and money for hotels and transportation nevermind cellphone service and new clothing whenever it's necessary. Life homeless is a whole other dimension of living and time occupation and comforts. Comfortable for a homeless person is sleeping on anything that isn't solid and eating when you're hungry, showering and clean clothes.
The way everything is set up right now, it’s so easy to become unemployed, broke, homeless, and mentally unstable. It is shocking how many of us are vulnerable.

Wishing you all the best Courtney and Britton. Please never give up. Iam sure you will get help to get a job, find a home for you two. You can do it! Take care and warm greetings from the other side of the World
What court is doing is amazing! She is definitely turning her life around and helping others while doing it. She deserves all the good coming to her! Thank you for covering this topic!
The problem is increasing greatly in every city in the U.S., but interestingly, rural homelessness in this country is rampant and hardly being addressed by anyone. Out of sight, out of mind.
We will never reduce street homelessness without reducing amount of fentanyl drug available on our streets. It's so cheap, and on every street corner possible. Sam Quinones explains very well extremely destructive physical and mental consequences of fentanyl and P2P based meth. Large majority of street homeless will die from fentanyl overdose or drugs related violence in next several years. There is no recreational drugs use any longer with fentanyl around, and all street drugs are laced with fentanyl now days including street marijuana.
One bad situation is all it takes to find yourself on the streets. I know, I found out the hard way. I got pancreatitis and lost my job, I couldnt work so I lost my home too. Me and my girlfriend had to stay in a tent with our dog for a bit, we eventually were able to get into a camper trailer for a while after that. After over a year I got better and we got married. We beat our situation, we have a home together, and a baby on the way. Times get tough, but they dont have to stay that way.
I love your story on here and tik tock. You deserve to have great things happen for both of you. Keep reaching for your dreams it will happen. Bless you both.
I’m so proud of you both because even though you going through you are sober. Don’t listen to negativty. Just pray for them they maybe going through something. We all go through things. Keep your head up and keep making me proud. I will always have you guys in my prayers. Sending a big huge heart felt hug🤗🤗❤️❤️🙏🙏
I was homeless in New York in 2020 i was staying DHSNYC homeless shelter on 30th Street in Manhattan yeah it's crazy out there in New York City trust me
Methadone saved my life. I was homeless, on the streets, surviving the way a female does, in and out of prison, lucky I was not brutally assaulted, yet, by the grace of God. I have nearly 20 years off of all opiates! I don't even smoke cigarettes. Hard-core for me? Putting an extra shot espresso in my freaking pumpkin spice latte lol The comments like "but you don't look like you used to be homeless, you don't look like you shot 15 bags of dope a day, you don't look like somebody who was on methadone, you don't look like somebody who was in prison, etc. etc.? Well, I don't know if it's a compliment or not. Part of me gets a little angry sometimes because I feel like they are downgrading and diminishing my experience and trauma. Sometimes I'm happy because I look "white bread normal" and other times I'm just numb. Because I'd rather not remember those times. Those scary times sleeping in abandon buildings against the door so nobody could come in and steal from me or worse in the middle of the night. Falling asleep at the public library, nodding out in public . It takes a while, but if you keep clean and sober you will reach the point where drugs are the furthest thing from your mind in every way conceivable. You have no desire, no cravings, nothing in fact I'm at the point that I'm like "who was that girl?" It's been so long for me that fentanyl didn't even exist. It was just dope. I think I'm lucky though. I believe I'd be dead right now if I was still using when the F started. Please stay strong. Please love each other and keep going. Please support each other. I relate to so much of what you say and how you feel and your experiences. I live about one hour away. I used to live on the lower Eastside. e7 between B and C But I hung out mostly in the park That was right after 911 I'm so grateful that y'all are in your couples shelter, you were able to get married, and you are able to use social media to spread the message You don't know how badly I want to hear in two years, five years, 20 years, that y'all are still clean and sober, kicking ass, maybe have some kids, just living a good truly happy life that you so deserve. I see these good things for you in the future. I truly do
Breaks my heart.. may u both ASAP recover from homelessness & stay sober!! Btw, Brittney, u have natural beauty...the makeup just accentuates it, which u can without.
@@mystic999cynic they would have more affordable housing if they didn't live in a city where the housing prices are constantly rising due to the location
I hope all goes well. I used to be homeless as well. I never did drugs nor alcohol. It can happen to anyone. Now I work for nypd. A little bit of help can go a long way
Sad to see America like this. I was homeless until I moved from Cali. Rent was too high. Now live in Florida and starting my own art and jewelry shop. I buy vintage films and turn them into art. Disney films are killing it this year.
i’d like to preface this by saying that my comment comes from a place of curiosity, not malice. i mean no disrespect but i have to ask the question. why is it that, when people spread awareness about stigmatized issues such as mental health, addiction, and homelessness the only people that tend to go viral on social media platforms are people who are conventionally attractive?
I don't know what your situation is now. Based off of this video I'd like you to know that there is someone at least one person out there that knows that you're a human being and you deserve everything that anybody else has and I apologize for all of the b******* that you've had to go through and wish that I could do something personally... Good luck to both of you... Keep your heads up... ❤❤❤
I cannot believe how out of touch so many of us are and the lack of compassion in threads like this. Even if people are addicts they don't deserve a safe place to sleep? Live of family willing to help short term thise whi wants to help themselves? I was almost homeless because I hurt my hack in Healthcare and my spouse decided after 25vyears of me providing that I was now a liability. Not only did I struggle with a thyroid disease, back problem and self worth from not working by my own family tried to ouch me into homelessness. Our attitudes are reprehensible. Yes I said we. This is a collective problem. Saying it'd our leaders jobs, problem of elitists, a political problem. We have all list touch with what matters. We deserve whatever comes, this is what we have sewn......May God bless this young couple with sobriety, love, laughs and abundance in all their needs as well , especially for working so hard. We all need a helping hand at one time or another. God bless. Yes all of us unless yall came outta your mommas bellies feeding yourself and knowing how to talk and walk...smh
Wow, I am blown away at the hope and dreams after this hard road. Please update on this young couple. I will pray they succeed in their journey. A simple request is when you see a homeless person stop and think, this is someone s child, and you can easily be in their shoes In a blink of an eye.
I bedroom apt where I live in Queens is $2000. I suspect many many more will be homeless soon. Our paycheck can only pay rent. As long as we don't eat and cook and turn on heat or air conditioner, we should be able to survive. She's absolutely right. Ppl who abuse substances usually have past traumas so great that they to escape from it by using. No one ever grow up wishing one day to become a junkie. Gov need to have better support for ppl with less means and addicts.
In the industrial age, the most appropriate metropolis no longer has to be the one that produces the highest income per capita... The most important task is to promote the harmonious interaction of the urban population. Written from the book... "Poverty in Big Cities" SALVAT Library [gt] of great themes... Page 93... (volume) 11 Translated from spanish
If you have a social worker it's your job to tell them what you need and want ..they are working for you. If you don't ask for it there will be no help and it takes a lot of paperwork always show up for appointments and be on top bc no one else cares unless you do.
Why is the fact she's an addict not mentioned until 5 mins in and him until 11:30 mins in. The video starts and makes you think they're "normal" and "it could happen to anyone". And they just so happened to BOTH lose their jobs at the same time. When it is 100% on their addictions. Disingenuous
I’m confused by your comment. Did you watch the video? He’s also an addict. They literally met in rehab. Plus, she says that those saying she deserves to be homeless because she did something wrong are overlooking that it could happen to anyone at any time.
Anyone know how they are doing now? They should make a channel on TH-cam. They’ll make more money from their videos. I’d subscribe. Good luck to them and all the homeless people. My heart is with them all.
What a beautifull couple ,I know you will pay any help you get forward. I lived with family for 2 years after losing my job then my home then my car . I know you can get sick and lose everything . I probably would have committed suicide or used drugs to die. I was so ashamed and it hurt my confidence . I know the right thing to do is not so simple. We must build housing and do something to create jobs for people . Every human on the planet can do something to help we all have a job to do. Preserve human dignity we are all guilty of making stupid mistakes in our lives. Everyone deserves running water and shelter . Some say and whos gonna pay? Aren't we paying already ? People do desperate things when hungry and cold and tired.
@@mtgbrewery7239 it legit makes no sense, I'm not in favour of these welfare programs at all however if you're going to be spending $2B then I expect it to be spent wisely and not wasted.
currently homeless in canada after losing my job due to vaccine mandates. not much help up here either , wonderful story hope you both find happiness you deserve

To both of you lovely people I say don't listen to the ignorant trolls that have no idea that there is a rental crisis happening globally. Im from Australia, yes they call this' lucky country' yet we are also facing a lack of affordable rentals. Not everyone in Australia is rich, we too have average wage earners and people on welfare and some that have no money at all and many sleep rough on the streets or in their cars or some are couch surfing. Keep you head up Courtney, you have a lot going for you. Your partner seems like a nice, supportive man who treats you like a lady. I don't blame you for falling into an addiction after losing your little sisters and your home...that is a huge trauma. I pray you do get help in finding a safe place to live and that you take time to heal cos getting a job is not the first thing you need....what you really need courtney is help and counselling to help you heal through your pain. Once you feel better then you can focus on work or studies. I pray you find that. Again, block out the trolls that have no clue to what you have been through and continue to go through...they dont deserve your time nor your reaction. Sending lots of good vibes, prayers and much love to you both 💕💕💕 Also please stop using tarot cards they open doors to dark realms. God saved me from them and my life improved when i gave my heart to our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray you do the same Coutney
They were choosing to live on the streets because we have shelters here in new york that take you off the streets the same day. They dont wanna go because it separates the men and women and they gonna make them get clean. I think these people lost everything due to drugs definately because i moved to new york from michigan and i was homeless and i went to shelter for a year and a half and the shelter helped me find a place in a very nice area of brooklyn. Most dont want to do the paperwork to get permanent housing because all the homeless system needs is notarized letter from anybody and it needs to have their number verifying the dates they were homeless thats how you get help. It could be a stranger as long as thet pick up when the department of homeless services call to verifying that they are the person from the letter and verify the dates and then hang up and they gonna help them wirh EVERYTHING.
You do one selfie after another on soc media, then you're not happy about comments you get on it. Here's a tip for ya, social media is one of the most worthless things ever created.

It's been so long for me that fentanyl didn't even exist. It was just dope. I think I'm lucky though. I believe I'd be dead right now if I was still using when the F started.
Please stay strong. Please love each other and keep going. Please support each other. I relate to so much of what you say and how you feel and your experiences. I live about one hour away. I used to live on the lower Eastside. e7 between B and C
But I hung out mostly in the park
That was right after 911
I'm so grateful that y'all are in your couples shelter, you were able to get married, and you are able to use social media to spread the message
You don't know how badly I want to hear in two years, five years, 20 years, that y'all are still clean and sober, kicking ass, maybe have some kids, just living a good truly happy life that you so deserve. I see these good things for you in the future. I truly do
Thank you for sharing your story and perspective ❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations. Did you use a 12 step program or did you just stop on your own?
@@vitocorleone8323 really???
I love your story. I am praying for you always. See you in Heaven.
Breaks my heart.. may u both ASAP recover from homelessness & stay sober!!
Btw, Brittney, u have natural beauty...the makeup just accentuates it, which u can without.
I really hope they'll get a permanent home in 2022.
Such land of free
They have to move out of ny. You cant live in a place with the most expensive rate of living and complain about not being able to afford a home
@@djbobby224 what does this mean?
@@mystic999cynic they would have more affordable housing if they didn't live in a city where the housing prices are constantly rising due to the location
i love this girl. i watch her tiktoks all the time and i only want the best for her
Courtney deserves a the whole world, it's saddens me goes much hate is on TikTok! She is so amazing!
I hope all goes well. I used to be homeless as well. I never did drugs nor alcohol. It can happen to anyone. Now I work for nypd. A little bit of help can go a long way
I bet you’re an amazing cop. God Bless you
Great Job Courtney!!! You and Britton deserve so much happiness ♡♡♡♡♡
I hope things work out for you two. Stay strong.
Love this video. This story is so important. Sending love!
Courtney gives me life! She’s such a rockstar 😁.
I was homeless for a couple of years...lots of people are randomly doing the strangest things at the weirdest times
They are both capable of he jobs & and they can rent a room , there situation is clearly by choice
@@nastynate2379, you clearly didn't watch the video. People can't get hired without residences. She talks about it in the video
Love you Courtney! I’ve been following you since the beginning and I’m only seeing this now.. 🥺🙏🥰🥰🥰
"Are you homeless, Sir?" "No, I'm auditioning for a part in "Oliver" on Broadway; I wanted to look authentic!"
Brutal! Stay Safe 👍 Best to you both! ❤❤❤
Sad to see America like this. I was homeless until I moved from Cali. Rent was too high. Now live in Florida and starting my own art and jewelry shop. I buy vintage films and turn them into art. Disney films are killing it this year.
Good luck in life🙏🏻
Peace love n compassion to everyone in the struggle ✌🏻❤
You are so incredible Courtney
i’d like to preface this by saying that my comment comes from a place of curiosity, not malice. i mean no disrespect but i have to ask the question. why is it that, when people spread awareness about stigmatized issues such as mental health, addiction, and homelessness the only people that tend to go viral on social media platforms are people who are conventionally attractive?
She nasty, and he looks like Ethan Klein lololol gross
I feel ur pain sis stay strong and beautiful, jesus loves you and has ur back, always ❤
I prayed for you both. May you stay safe ...and get everything that you need. ❤❤❤❤❤
I don't know what your situation is now. Based off of this video I'd like you to know that there is someone at least one person out there that knows that you're a human being and you deserve everything that anybody else has and I apologize for all of the b******* that you've had to go through and wish that I could do something personally... Good luck to both of you... Keep your heads up... ❤❤❤
It's Trauma... Nothing Wring with you guys... ❤❤❤
So proud of Courtney she is doing amazing. I believe they will have their own place sometime soon ♥️
Thank you for watching their story!
this couple is so shady
The boyfriend SCUMBAG VIBES
I cannot believe how out of touch so many of us are and the lack of compassion in threads like this. Even if people are addicts they don't deserve a safe place to sleep? Live of family willing to help short term thise whi wants to help themselves? I was almost homeless because I hurt my hack in Healthcare and my spouse decided after 25vyears of me providing that I was now a liability. Not only did I struggle with a thyroid disease, back problem and self worth from not working by my own family tried to ouch me into homelessness. Our attitudes are reprehensible. Yes I said we. This is a collective problem. Saying it'd our leaders jobs, problem of elitists, a political problem. We have all list touch with what matters. We deserve whatever comes, this is what we have sewn......May God bless this young couple with sobriety, love, laughs and abundance in all their needs as well , especially for working so hard. We all need a helping hand at one time or another. God bless. Yes all of us unless yall came outta your mommas bellies feeding yourself and knowing how to talk and walk...smh
they are shady yo
@@davidwayne4435 Yeah, some channels I'm seeing are all for show and to hide what's really happening I get that.
Sending prayers for you, Courteney, and of course also for your boyfriend as well. :)
You 2 just try and keep your heads up.
Stay focused 💯
Wow, I am blown away at the hope and dreams after this hard road. Please update on this young couple. I will pray they succeed in their journey. A simple request is when you see a homeless person stop and think, this is someone s child, and you can easily be in their shoes In a blink of an eye.
Now a days with the cost of living, you can become homeless without an addiction.
I bedroom apt where I live in Queens is $2000. I suspect many many more will be homeless soon. Our paycheck can only pay rent. As long as we don't eat and cook and turn on heat or air conditioner, we should be able to survive. She's absolutely right. Ppl who abuse substances usually have past traumas so great that they to escape from it by using. No one ever grow up wishing one day to become a junkie. Gov need to have better support for ppl with less means and addicts.
Thank you for sharing!
We love Courtney ♥️
Be safe and hello from St John's Newfoundland.
Be safe
I met Courtney at a psych ward in Poughkeepsie very nice lady
Courtney is the coolest! She seems like such a good friend and person. Also loved seeing her flip some Tarot cards! Hell yeah. Wishing her the best
When your at your lowest in life thats when you really see the ones that are really a waste of time.
I was sold out on the table with the delivery room 1969 for a 100 dallors
WHAT A WONDERFUL COUPLE- I WISH YOU BOTH EVERY HAPPINESS NOW AND IN THE FUTURE- DEUS VULT- BLESS YOU-💚💚💚 🇮🇪🤝🇺🇸🐕
I'm scared to be on the streets alone in nyc but I'm going to be soon... any advice where to get help

I love Courtney and Britton
They’re homeless but still have a job .. keep hope alive ❤️
In the industrial age, the most appropriate metropolis no longer has to be the one that produces the highest income per capita... The most important task is to promote the harmonious interaction of the urban population.
Written from the book...
"Poverty in Big Cities"
SALVAT Library [gt] of great themes... Page 93... (volume) 11
Translated from spanish
this channel better pay them for their time.
This shows that you can be having a job a car and a home and you can still become homeless..
Here from tik tok, we love you Courtney!
I lived in Chicago and Nyc both are horrible af but Nyc has way more resources and real help Chicago is very dysfunctional and backwards
Chicago is hate city
If you have a social worker it's your job to tell them what you need and want ..they are working for you. If you don't ask for it there will be no help and it takes a lot of paperwork always show up for appointments and be on top bc no one else cares unless you do.
Why is the fact she's an addict not mentioned until 5 mins in and him until 11:30 mins in. The video starts and makes you think they're "normal" and "it could happen to anyone". And they just so happened to BOTH lose their jobs at the same time. When it is 100% on their addictions. Disingenuous
"they think that i did something wrong" - literally the words of an addict. she doesn't deserve him
I’m confused by your comment. Did you watch the video? He’s also an addict. They literally met in rehab. Plus, she says that those saying she deserves to be homeless because she did something wrong are overlooking that it could happen to anyone at any time.
Thirty years ago we hv the block buster movie 'Sleepless in Seattle' and today hv another real life block buster ' Homelessness in New York'.
Anyone know how they are doing now? They should make a channel on TH-cam. They’ll make more money from their videos. I’d subscribe. Good luck to them and all the homeless people. My heart is with them all.
I hope they’re in a much better place now. Life is something else Smh
What a beautifull couple ,I know you will pay any help you get forward. I lived with family for 2 years after losing my job then my home then my car . I know you can get sick and lose everything . I probably would have committed suicide or used drugs to die. I was so ashamed and it hurt my confidence . I know the right thing to do is not so simple. We must build housing and do something to create jobs for people . Every human on the planet can do something to help we all have a job to do. Preserve human dignity we are all guilty of making stupid mistakes in our lives. Everyone deserves running water and shelter . Some say and whos gonna pay? Aren't we paying already ? People do desperate things when hungry and cold and tired.
People are so close minded about situations like this. Very sad😪
I love court she’s amazing
Amazing job Courtney!!!!
she's so loyal i need that typa woman 😍
NYC spends $2B on homelessness with only 100K homeless people in the state, work that one out.
Rather pay social workers then subsidize housing...
@@mtgbrewery7239 it legit makes no sense, I'm not in favour of these welfare programs at all however if you're going to be spending $2B then I expect it to be spent wisely and not wasted.
currently homeless in canada after losing my job due to vaccine mandates. not much help up here either , wonderful story hope you both find happiness you deserve
"Send more money to Ukraine to keep the blood flowing, disregard the struggling Americans living paycheck to paycheck, crumbling infrastructure, homelessness, skyrocketing crime wave, and drug-infested communities". ~ American politicians."
To both of you lovely people I say don't listen to the ignorant trolls that have no idea that there is a rental crisis happening globally. Im from Australia, yes they call this' lucky country' yet we are also facing a lack of affordable rentals. Not everyone in Australia is rich, we too have average wage earners and people on welfare and some that have no money at all and many sleep rough on the streets or in their cars or some are couch surfing.
Keep you head up Courtney, you have a lot going for you. Your partner seems like a nice, supportive man who treats you like a lady. I don't blame you for falling into an addiction after losing your little sisters and your home...that is a huge trauma. I pray you do get help in finding a safe place to live and that you take time to heal cos getting a job is not the first thing you need....what you really need courtney is help and counselling to help you heal through your pain. Once you feel better then you can focus on work or studies. I pray you find that.
Again, block out the trolls that have no clue to what you have been through and continue to go through...they dont deserve your time nor your reaction. Sending lots of good vibes, prayers and much love to you both 💕💕💕 Also please stop using tarot cards they open doors to dark realms. God saved me from them and my life improved when i gave my heart to our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray you do the same Coutney
They were choosing to live on the streets because we have shelters here in new york that take you off the streets the same day. They dont wanna go because it separates the men and women and they gonna make them get clean. I think these people lost everything due to drugs definately because i moved to new york from michigan and i was homeless and i went to shelter for a year and a half and the shelter helped me find a place in a very nice area of brooklyn. Most dont want to do the paperwork to get permanent housing because all the homeless system needs is notarized letter from anybody and it needs to have their number verifying the dates they were homeless thats how you get help. It could be a stranger as long as thet pick up when the department of homeless services call to verifying that they are the person from the letter and verify the dates and then hang up and they gonna help them wirh EVERYTHING.
You do one selfie after another on soc media, then you're not happy about comments you get on it.
Here's a tip for ya, social media is one of the most worthless things ever created.
40 years of this homelessness .enough is enough
I hope this couple is doing Allright now
its incredible how small and ignorant some of those commentors are
