I once was walking home and saw a young girl on the streets in a sleeping bag I was about 21 she was 17 it was really cold on very late I said to her would you like to come and stop on my sofa till the morning she said yes she asked if I was going to do something to her I said no we went in the flat and watched a film had some food and went to bed she slept on the sofa I woke up at 8 she had gone left a message saying thanks never saw her again I did walk past a few times to see if she was there I still always wonder what happend to her am 36 now
This happened to me when I was in the streets. Im suprised she even went with you because guys are psychos and pray on homeless women. A guy offered me a hotel room and I refused thinking he was trying to pull some shit but low and behold, he took me to his house to get food for me then rented the room and left me there. He asked if he could stay because the 2 beds but I said I would rather leave. He told me he would give me privacy but talk to me in the morning. He left $40. I didn’t feel safe so I left super early in the morning and left a note telling him thanks. When homeless, it’s hard to get out because you don’t trust if someone is genuinely trying helping or hurt. I’m sure she didn’t go to sleep at all, she was too nervous. The streets end up feeling safer when you are homeless
CriscianaLovely oh yes I understood when she asked me the question was I going to harm her but I actually think she was comfortable once we got to my flat and had food and watched full monty she was laughing but there was no bad intentions it was very cold and really late I just felt sorry for her I would actually like to no what happened to her there was no Facebook then or owt lol
James 84 she left because she didn’t trust you and thought you might bring harm. She realized she let her guard down. Believe me. It’s constant paranoia. I met girls on the streets who were murdered, raped or stabbed by strangers..... and it’s never just other homeless people. It’s by working class men with families and wives who are undercover psychos.. living 2 double lives. They get away with it by being nice to homeless women or prostitutes
CriscianaLovely yeah she put her trust in me I could have been any one to be fair but she had a warm place to stay some nice food and a good film to watch I was going to ask her if she wanted a shower but I thought best not she mint think am a creepy or summit lol...well I take it your back on your feet now then
SHE HAS A LION HEART! SHE IS CLEANING STREETS AND TEACHING DIGNITY. BAD THINGS HAPPENED TO HER, BUT SHE HAS SUCH A STRENGTH AND BEAUTY. LOVELY, YOU ARE LOVELY!
@Legal Fiction Natural Fact Well, he may very well be engaging n those acts himself so let the boy speak for himself I know for a fact he's not in no way attempting to degrade any woman by any means especially when the only reason for his existence is because a woman gave him life.
Being homeless changes a person forever. I was homeless for over 2 years. I wouldn’t change those experiences. It makes you appreciate the little things!!!!! Thanks for sharing 💪🏾
This is the truth! I was homeless from 13-15 not of my choice either. But the experience is beyond anything it made me super strong till this day I know I have it in me to get through things and furthermore, appreciate every got dam thing I have in life, and this life, period. ❤
I was on the edge to become homeless 20 years ago. But I turn the table around one day at a time. Today I own a home without being abused and no disturb. No more. Never again.
I said the same thing I posted earlier and yep I hope she's doing well she has an energy about her even through this video you just feel it you know you just feel it 🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@lovelynakooka995 OMG! That's SO amazing that you responded and are now well. I'm so people of you! Do you have PayPal or Cashapp? I just want to send you $20 to treat the kids or whatever. I was homeless for only a couple months and I know how hard it was to get out (nevermind years AND being a female!) Keep reaching for your dreams Lovely! Once again... I'm very proud of you. Leave that cashapp or PayPal for me (& any other person who might want to send you a lil 💖) Take care 😊
I worked till I was 52, became too sick to work because of a heart condition. Two weeks after my 401 ran out I spent three years on the street fighting for my disability. Finally got it they only paid back pay for to years. I'm now of the streets, it's a sad thing to feel lost and hopeless. My prayers go out to all homeless wish I could help them all.
It doesn’t matter if they are homeless, it doesn’t matter if they are addicted to drugs, it’s doesn’t matter if they are alcoholics, it doesn’t matter if they have a mental illness, it doesn’t matter why or how they got homeless, they are people who have feelings and don’t deserve hate. I stop and give what I can almost every time I see them on the corner. I don’t care what they use the money for. Once it’s out of my hands, it’s no longer my business but I make sure to shake their hands and converse with them while at the red light. Even a few words means a lot to someone. I don’t always have money on me but I always roll my window down and say words of encouragement. Little acts of kindness goes a long way.
all time it’s my money and I can give it to whom I want to. I don’t make assumptions on what they use the money for and it’s not my business either. After a long hard day I like a cold beer. I’m sure if I was in the side of the road with people yelling at me, I’d want a drink after that too. Plus I spent a long time in the Army and I learned real quick, when ur starving, u can’t sleep good. So after awhile they will buy food anyways. After all of my tax money that is given to women that stay at home and have multiple kids with multiple fathers and get welfare, food stamps and section 8 housing, why do the homeless deserve less? Better than giving it to woman who lays on her back with her legs spread just so she can collect free money.
Wow you are such a good person. And so humble. What a great guy. You are changing the world by giving homeless people money. What would we do without you.
I was homeless from the age of 14 to 16 ,living from day to day I was asleep one night and some drunk men kicked the living daylights out of me ,I was 14 ? Taken into hospital and I managed to escape from people that wanted to put me in care in them days you were never treated right . I'm 59 now and never a day goes by that I know how easy it is to be back there, being diabetic I would never survive now, adds to the fear but I stay positive,I have too. Thank you for your input from the UK.
In Canada we pay so much for everything just because it is so expensive for anything we need. Like food and gasoline, rent and everything even supplies like lumber if a person needed it. Most people live paycheck to paycheck. A person here struggles to put any money aside and it always needs to go somewhere. Like oh shit I need winter tires or new work boots. And gas can go up 30 cents a litre in two weeks. Fuck I can't believe it here. They tax the hell out of us.
You need to cut down some of your expenses and save as much as possible just incase something happens to u, and if u can invest that savings for a side income DAT can reaaly keep you financially sound.
I am homeless. I also served 5 years in the Marine Corps. I have a daughter. She was abducted and then kidnapped when the mother left California and moved to New York. I haven't seen them in 11 years. New York says I owe child support for all that time. And there is an interest rate. I can't afford to pay the interest rate. So the debt continues to grow. Any money I put in the bank is taken by the state. My wages are garnished. I work over 60 hours a week, and I still can not afford a home. If I pay rent, I can't eat. So I live in a Semi Truck, where I work. And I'll have to keep driving a truck until I am unable to drive. And by that time, I'll be in more debt even though I am making payments. I might as well burn the money because it's paying the people who forced me into a hardship, to continue to labor with no possibility of retirement. I am not just homeless. I am a slave.
Your story is not that unusual unfortunately, i know a guy that got divorced, wife and kids got allotted more support than he could afford, he moved to another state and went 'under the radar', otherwise he would have probably been homeless too. It's so sad
you need a lawyer homeboy, no way they should be charging you more money than you can afford. I love how the US treats its veterans you risk your life and if you survive we destroy it. USA! USA!
'whitey' doesn't care, it's a prerequisites for said to thrive the most (where it applies), along with mass incarceration of proportionally mostly latinos/blacks (working class whites aside)..
Sad, I remember a Lovely from being in the same situations as a kid. I also have been homeless, and went to school for nursing while sleeping in a car. Got sober with the help of a high-power then paid lots of money to expunge my record, and prayed a lot. Luckily made it to the other side: so sad to see her in this situation 🥺 Praying for you young lady!🙏🏼🙌🏼
Thank you for this. Broke my heart to see her suffering, that poor girl's going through. She deserves to have a dad and a mom who loves her unconditionally. Blessings to her and the strength she gained help others that she can relate to.
@@harrykaminski3627 Hmm....sounds like you only have half a heart. HELP BOTH! Then you'll be doing the right thing. ps...No one is exempt from being homeless. Not even you!
It is 2018, I watched the video and was very touched by Lovely's story. As someone who experienced the streets for a year as an 11-12 yr old, and foster homes, I really hope that Lovely is happy and doing well. All the best to her.
Liberty Drew in this world there is little compassion,the way I look at it all is only the strong survive period.And being weak in this world would be for your disanvatage.Now why do you think the number ratio from the poor out numbers the rich by a serious long shot.Now there would be a number of factors for that why the majority of humans are poor but I'll leave that up to your imagination..
dream warrior wrote: "you reap what you sow" - Is that a comment about the individuals or on this uncaring society that does not respect human beings unless they have money. The US spends most of the tax revenue on the military, invasions, occupations of other countries, instead of education, healthcare and housing. And billionaire leeches stash their wealth offshore instead of paying their share. Don't blame homeless people for the ills of this sick society.
This was me. I'm now in my 30s and an addictions counselor and social worker. You have it right girl. Not all of is are strong enough to get back up. You are. If I can you can. I pray you're well.
L O V E L Y I S O K I was touched by her story and courage, I have reached out to her online, she is doing well.. And seems to be living the dream now...
@nic sharp Yo are you serious? I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ENDED UP HOMELESS. THEY ARE NOW ON THEIR FEET AND YOU COULD BECOME A BUM SINCE YOU THINK THAT UNFORTUNATE PEOPLE ARE BUMS. IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. SHE HAD NO FAMILY TO GUIDE HER. YOU SUCK!
Hello, please let me know how I can contact her. I want to send her a care package. I am a substance abuse counselor with many years working in mental health. Although it's the most beautiful state I've ever lived in, I've seen so much evil in California. That's the least I can do.
You're indeed lovely! Such a kind spirit and warm smile, I'm rooting for you! Sitting here in Sweden so I can't really do anything for you guys, but I'm trying to help here locally. With your spirit you should be able to go far!! This video really touched me
I was homeless for 18 months and now living in transitional housing. The most important thing I learned: *When you're homeless, you have to come to your own rescue, or you won't survive.* have a nice day, -Christian J.
This video made me cry! How can a beautiful child be let down like this!!!??? How can society let a beautiful girl such as Lovely just fall through the cracks when she was suppose to be safety netted???!!! Took notice of that this video was taped almost 3 years ago. I hope things have improved for Lovely and that things are looking up for her!!! And I hope she makes her way into a successful photography career! I sense that she would be an outstanding professional photographer!!!
You learn who your real friends are when u hit rock bottom... Them friends/best friends disappear... I never did drugs but I was a drinker...I went into rehab got a job n my own place... IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE
I believe there isn't no freinds in this world. Completely agree with that statement. You see allot more when you hit rock bottom. Clear picture. Smh. God is the only true freind. Have faith in him. The only one who truly cares. Thank you jesus. For everything you done in my life. And continue doing. 🙏😞🙏
I hope you see this lovely. Never forget you are beautiful, worthwhile and God loves you. This is not His plan for you, it’s the enemies. You are a daughter of God, completely put your trust in Him and He will lift you up ❤️
@@tonykemp4645 Thank you so much, I often receive a lot of hate on here for just trying to spread love thru Jesus. It’s so refreshing for someone to send positivity and love my way. God bless you and Happy New Year to you and yours! ❤️
I've been homeless 2 and half years due to hurricane Harvey. Being a female makes it much worse. She's right, your scared to sleep at night and never really get much rest. . Sleep deprivation makes it even worse. I sometimes hold a sign during the day begging.... and because I feel safe with so many people around, I sometimes just atomativally fall asleep?! I've had people accuse me of being drunk, or high! ,but I'm not... Please don't judge all.
I'm stuck on what she said "she went to the cops to tell them she s been raped and they told her You find a drug dealer we find your rapist" WTF SMFH! Damn shame I hope she reported them.
Niylah JayPheonix same thing happened to me with the cops when I was raped and tortured by police. The cops won't help. So now I don't call the cops at all. I fight to the death.
Niylah- jay.- typical guuttless pigs/ gestapo, Shitt themselves every time. As a ex castrater farmer jist bring the rapist's too me and ahh will make Senorita Bobbit off Ecuedor look like a nun.
Because most people are managing their own living situation like a piece of fragile glass....it could fall to pieces at any time. A person could be living in a shack that's crumbling down around them, but it feels like they live in a mansion cauz at least its theirs, and they aint out on the street. Man. People have GOT to take better care of themselves. Because Self is all we truly have.
Most people only have their own homes, they do not have extra homes. And, let's face it- most people are afraid to take in a stranger into their homes because they don't know what kind of people they are taking in. The person could be on drugs, be a thief or cause them harm. That is just the reality of things, not trying to judge or put all homeless people in the same class. But, one bad apple will ruin it for all. There have been people who took in homeless people to help them get on their feet and the homeless people killed the person that tried to help them. So, I'm sure we can understand that fear. Then, people realize that they themselves have to 'work' in order to have a home (and sometimes they are barely making ends meet), so they cannot take care of another adult. Another thing to look at is a person home may be full already, they have family in the home they are taking care of. Plus, people are going to or should be very careful who they bring around their children. There are just so many factors to look at. It's not that people don't want to help.
Mike... ROFL... you a fool. Do you want people to watch ? I hope not because if you do then that makes you a sexual freak ! If you do it by yourself..... then your still okay.
rita pita.... FACTS. I feel sorry for some, but let us see what got them there in the first place to analyze if we need to be sorrowful or just call them a dumb ass. The lady in the video "choose" to get into trouble then she seemed to be hanging out (so to speak) with the wrong people. If you chilling with low lives, criminals, wrong doers all day, then you can't cry wolf on how you got mistreated. She choose it.
GravityLee... God is with those ladies every day that get raped and sold by ISIS. He is also on the killing fields to watch their husbands, fathers, brothers (men) get slaughtered for no reason also. He does not do anything about it though.... he is just there. (Faith euphoria is the worst)
Hello from Corpus Christi. You are special in Gods eyes. And dont mind the little people who look down on you. If they only knew how much God truely loves you no matter what your decision are. I wish i could be there to extend a helping hand, and a warm hug. You are loved. God bless you Lovely, keep on smiling dear. Its contagious. I pray these messages reach you.
R A Amen sister. Also another God warrior from Corpus Christi. The best thing we can do is send prayers for one another. Take care and I hope she is doing well in this crazy world we live in.
Beautiful story, almost made me cry. I'm from Mexico and in my country we don't have the programs and resources to help homeless people to get back on their feet. I'm a homeless man myself, I can speak four languages and have a master's degree in business, but no one wants to employ me because I'm 63 years old. Watching this amazing young woman I feel like not giving up. Thanks for this great article.
good job sista Lovely! born in Hawaii you have that inner warrior to set your mind at over coming anything. you have a very bright future! I once was in your situation for 9 years as a young adult. I over came it been clean for 14 years. and enjoy my ohana every single day!... we have that inner warrior instilled in us from our ancestors. I admire your strength n beauty. blessings to you and your endeavors! IMUA!
big red let me take you to KINg Kamrhameha's hei'au that he built. leave you there over nite. so you can tell him that n let's see if your narrow minded conclusion is still the same.
God bless all homeless people. My prayers go out to you all . I wish I was someone that had the resources to help all the homeless. My heart literally bleeds watching this 😔
God is can use her to reach people that were in her situation. The unreachable. People that wont listen to someone in a suit and tie. She is a beautiful daughter of god
I will help the homeless. Giving out food or haircuts or money. I don't have much but I have more than them. I feel so sorry for Lovely, it's painful. To know that an innocent person was brought to this world to only be used and tossed out like trash. No one deserves that. I hope she is doing better and that we as a society start giving them the much needed help.
I was homeless and it's hard to explain but you feel literally helpless and so depressed that even if someone tries to help you it won't work most of the time.
I dont get how people that make music and barely put any effort can be milionairs while other people who work their ass off day and night turn homeless ,the world is messed up
Don't underestimate the hardships of creative work and especially music, even many of those that become famous have had rough periods with some even becoming homeless for some time
I don't think comparing effort without specifics is productive or worthwile. You never know what people have gone through to be where they are, whatever that place may be.
IQ matters, some people just know how to invest, sell, and manage. It’s a complicated world and there is no place for people who can’t hack it. We have to do a better job of offering hots and cot as cheaply as possible. The problem of that solution is people would rather use drugs on the street, then stay in a situation of three hots and cot and no drugs allowed.
I have been arguing this point for years. Why actors, footballers, t.v personalities are paid more and idealised when nurses, doctors, care workers are paid less. Why is someone paid more because they can sing better than you and I. How ridiculous is that?
All it matters is who can push and shove you out of the way to prosper in life. In smallest things you will encounter normal decent people doing little tricks to get ahead of others.People who you otherwise will not regard as crooks but are clever and mean too .Those who cant do it are good hearted people who gets hurt . World moves on.
Beautiful young lady bless her she reminds me of my self when I was in my teens but was having and going through difficulties like she has /is I wish I had a pass port, or she had one cos she could come and live in my house with me, ove in England U. K, for as long as it takes for her to find her feet, I really wish this was possible, my hart goes out to her as it does to all ppl without a safe personnel space to sleep live relax,, etc and a huge hug for them all from me, xoxox
Only those of you who WASTED and squandered your life away. Those of us who are educated and understand economics and know how to crunch the numbers will never belly up. Especially if we have already made our fortunes.
@J J THE TRUTH WILL ALWAYS HAVE A CERTAIN RING TO IT THAT FOOLS AND JACKASSES LIKE YOU CANT HEAR AND THE CREAM ALWAYS RISES TO THE TOP, AND SHIT LIKE YOU ALWAYS GETS FLUSHED.
I am so proud of you you are a very beautiful girl and I speak to my grandchildren and my two young grandchildren who are going on 11 and I speak to them about how we should be so grateful for the food that's put on the table weather Grandma makes makes it good or not I'm not the best cook but it is food it is sustenance I always try to explain to them how there are so many people in this world that suffer from homelessness starvation abuse and grow up in ways that I could never imagine and as I think they think it or they know it they don't really see it so you're an inspiration for me to teach my grandchildren to not be so self-absorbed and think of others and to give to others and to start saving in they're little Banks to give to the homeless and yes there is a stigma with some homeless people where you feel like you give them the money and they're going to just go buy beer or drugs yet when I see them standing on the corner and I'm able to roll my window down and give it to them I give it to them graciously without any expectations and believe me I'm on a very fixed income because I'm in poor health and the poor health was because I abused my body when I was younger yet I had it all which means I had and upper-middle-class family a loving mother and father who were married for 60 years and I had very strict rules and I would run away and that would cause me problems because I felt they were too strict but now looking back on it I knew that my parents were right and for the times that I ran away it was disgusting it was horrible and the things I had to do for a roof over my head and or sleep in the elements was horrible so as I wasn't actually homeless for long periods of time I experienced being on the streets by my own choice and I know how hard it can be so my dear friend I hope you reach all of your dreams because you are a beautiful girl and I see the strength in you and the willpower and I just know that you're going to go places keep kicking it Forward girlfriend and keep us informed on how you're doing
Sherri Vonch I take homeless in my apartment. It was a 3 bedroom apartment in Jamestown NY. My 2 sisters, my Fiance, and myself rent it. We have about 7 - 8 people staying with us at a time. In the small attic. And basement(wich is decent).
I pray that those of you who have shared your story in these comments are truly blessed the way I have been and some...... I hope to meet you all one day! I run into strangers almost everyday that stop me just to give me a hug because they have seen my story. I had no idea how much of an impact this video would make. I am so grateful for this opportunity.
There are so many nasty things people are saying here. Not everyone has a healthy mind. The majority of homeless are mentally ill. They can't afford medication and unless you have been even close to mentally sick you have no idea why or how they got where they are. I don't understand why the ones that are so angry about this girl watch the video and why do you feel the need to write something so awful. Why not just move on? I'm thinking several people that are so offended by her have no idea what REAL struggle is. I don't mean just regular life struggles either. I mean the serious shit. People are so fast to just judge. I'm sure I will get some nasty comments but it's fine.
Kimberly W.. Yes i agree with you about why people are so negative, I just do not understand the negative messages i see every where at times for it pays dividends when we choose to be nice & when those negative people choose to be mean & harsh, So why not win by being nice?
Yes, people can be amazingly ignorant. Everyone can have something happen but many have something happen or something worse without reliable supports. People are becoming more and more isolated and disconnected from community and agencies might not be reliable or known. Notice she was asked to do research for police in exchange for the police taking care of the crime that was committed against her, when she should have been helped as a matter of course and was probably too worn out from it all to do anything. It is amazing the extent to which people judge, judging when many are a step away from it themselves and would not recover without secure supports. Some simply have lost these supports and things happen. On a side note, I heard a high percentage of people by their 40s in the US have had some period of homelessness, the difference perhaps was that they had a way to be helped out and backup resources with trusted friends’ or relatives’ sofas to sleep on.
This girl is so cute, so beautiful, so strong and so focused, a true fighter! I cried when tears ran down her face. She did not deserve such a hard life and it broke my heart to hear she did not have anyone around to help her, guide her or support her. She is so brave to share her story .... It's been several years since this video was uploaded. I really hope she is doing well!!!
Soooo proud of you I am in tears. A good attitude is the starting point I think. Finding people that care about you is solo important as we all need to be and feel loved. Your experiences will assist others as you begin to heal and this can take a very long time. I am so happy you found this group and I give you big hugs.
My oldest brother became homeless after loosing his wife . I took him in when i became a adult. His life changed my life. I believe because of the mental emotional abuse from our mother we never loved ourselves enough to want better
Thank you guys for helping these poor people out! Plenty of love and blessings to you, as well as Lovely, she seems so amazing and deserves to live out her dreams.
I am heart broken for those of you that have hurtful things to say, but won't take it personal, it is what is this is how social media works apparently. And I myself have been childish and currently can be lol. I would personally like to say thank all you of for taking 8 minutes out of your time to watch and listen to me, I had no idea that this would go viral. And hi to everyone that recognized me. Those of you who know me, and have witnessed what I have been through thank you for being there for me when you were. I hope that my story has been able to lift those that are down. I hope that I can inspire you to want a good LIFE and to go get it. I didn't realize that my video was going to be used for donation purposes to the DOWN TOWN STREETS TEAM. And I don't mind I love the down town streets team and want to give back as much as I can! I will contact the people who filmed this and you can look at me now....
Ever thought of coming back to Hawaii. Man my heart ached for a second at the beginning of your story. Local girl homeless many miles from home I hope and pray you will be ok.
my respect for you and team-go on-be strong and belive in your self and you will get there -may the Force be with you Lovely and thank you for the video
Just remember those that leave those types of comments are usually just projecting thier own hurt or insecurities through social media...it's just the way this online stuff works now. I was really inspired by your story and that you found the stepping stone you needed to rise up. Keep moving forward and staying strong.
i want you to know that someone does care ok i may not be able to help you get off the street but i can tell you that someone does care and i wish you the best of luck getting off the street.
Amen.i was with two good freinds of mines that are homeles an as i felt bad for them i also felt so good to be around good hearted people .very humble an giving.
It is rare as the system is underfunded and therefore understaffed and frankly having lived in the foster system and worked in it foster parenting should be paid more.....dr.s being paid a lot didn't ruin their profession why is it that women's work and emotional and mental health are treated so poorly?
I was in foster care also. I definitely can relate .This was hard to watch. I pray shes on the path of healing.How's she doing now? Is there an update?
iv been homeless, and by the grace of god i'm not homeless today. I will never look down on a homeless person ever, I don't care if they have an addiction..its just the circumstances...that does not strip them of there humanity...don't let it strip you of yours.... this girls story touches me..i too am from Hawaii God Bless you Lovely!
Most of us are only 2 paychecks away from being homeless!
Yep
legasiguy thank God for Trump we are now 7 checks from being homeless.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸TRUMP 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yup
Bigger checks or cheaper houses ?
Irwin Wins Hahaha!
I once was walking home and saw a young girl on the streets in a sleeping bag I was about 21 she was 17 it was really cold on very late I said to her would you like to come and stop on my sofa till the morning she said yes she asked if I was going to do something to her I said no we went in the flat and watched a film had some food and went to bed she slept on the sofa I woke up at 8 she had gone left a message saying thanks never saw her again I did walk past a few times to see if she was there I still always wonder what happend to her am 36 now
This happened to me when I was in the streets. Im suprised she even went with you because guys are psychos and pray on homeless women. A guy offered me a hotel room and I refused thinking he was trying to pull some shit but low and behold, he took me to his house to get food for me then rented the room and left me there. He asked if he could stay because the 2 beds but I said I would rather leave. He told me he would give me privacy but talk to me in the morning. He left $40. I didn’t feel safe so I left super early in the morning and left a note telling him thanks. When homeless, it’s hard to get out because you don’t trust if someone is genuinely trying helping or hurt. I’m sure she didn’t go to sleep at all, she was too nervous. The streets end up feeling safer when you are homeless
CriscianaLovely oh yes I understood when she asked me the question was I going to harm her but I actually think she was comfortable once we got to my flat and had food and watched full monty she was laughing but there was no bad intentions it was very cold and really late I just felt sorry for her I would actually like to no what happened to her there was no Facebook then or owt lol
James 84 Now I wonder if that guy wonders where I am now. Lol
James 84 she left because she didn’t trust you and thought you might bring harm. She realized she let her guard down. Believe me. It’s constant paranoia. I met girls on the streets who were murdered, raped or stabbed by strangers..... and it’s never just other homeless people. It’s by working class men with families and wives who are undercover psychos.. living 2 double lives. They get away with it by being nice to homeless women or prostitutes
CriscianaLovely yeah she put her trust in me I could have been any one to be fair but she had a warm place to stay some nice food and a good film to watch I was going to ask her if she wanted a shower but I thought best not she mint think am a creepy or summit lol...well I take it your back on your feet now then
Sometimes we need help getting up when we fall down.
And sometimes there ain't no help. A person's goal better be to STAY UP. and help themselves.
Miss Shannon, true
agree
something in me was born knowing you help your brothers and sister because just a little help can go a long way for someone when they need it.
@@missshannon9790 You're absolutely right, but of course that isn't always possible either.
SHE HAS A LION HEART!
SHE IS CLEANING STREETS AND TEACHING DIGNITY.
BAD THINGS HAPPENED TO HER, BUT SHE HAS SUCH A STRENGTH AND BEAUTY.
LOVELY, YOU ARE LOVELY!
Yeah, any other girls would just be giving BJ's 24/7 and saving up hundreds per week...
Haven, LOL. Spoken like a typical dude. You have no fucking clue. It's hilarious. X)
@Legal Fiction Natural Fact Well, he may very well be engaging n those acts himself so let the boy speak for himself I know for a fact he's not in no way attempting to degrade any woman by any means especially when the only reason for his existence is because a woman gave him life.

Being homeless changes a person forever. I was homeless for over 2 years. I wouldn’t change those experiences. It makes you appreciate the little things!!!!! Thanks for sharing 💪🏾
I been homeless off and on last few years.. And yes you are right..
Facts! I was homeless for a year in NYC in 2014. It really does change you.
Amelia Knife Ae man sorry. I always lusten to Rocky to motivate me.
you americans have it tough, respect
This is the truth! I was homeless from 13-15 not of my choice either. But the experience is beyond anything it made me super strong till this day I know I have it in me to get through things and furthermore, appreciate every got dam thing I have in life, and this life, period. ❤
I was on the edge to become homeless 20 years ago. But I turn the table around one day at a time. Today I own a home without being abused and no disturb. No more. Never again.
We are all one paycheck from being homeless. I KNOW,, BEEN THERE
Ching lan Lie ++good job I can relate

I'm okay thank you. I am now a mother of 4 children and have been housed since 2014. Thank you for watching my story and your support.
@@lovelynakooka995 OMG! That's SO amazing that you responded and are now well. I'm so people of you! Do you have PayPal or Cashapp? I just want to send you $20 to treat the kids or whatever. I was homeless for only a couple months and I know how hard it was to get out (nevermind years AND being a female!) Keep reaching for your dreams Lovely! Once again... I'm very proud of you. Leave that cashapp or PayPal for me (& any other person who might want to send you a lil 💖)
Take care 😊
Lovely Nakooka Amazing! So happy for you.
I worked till I was 52, became too sick to work because of a heart condition. Two weeks after my 401 ran out I spent three years on the street fighting for my disability. Finally got it they only paid back pay for to years. I'm now of the streets, it's a sad thing to feel lost and hopeless. My prayers go out to all homeless wish I could help them all.
where was your family and how did they FEEL about you being out on the streeeeeet 😮💨🙄🙄??
Everyone deserves a home, it breaks my heart
RIGHT😔..AMEN💔

Sister then there is no work for the politicians and the burocrats.
It doesn’t matter if they are homeless, it doesn’t matter if they are addicted to drugs, it’s doesn’t matter if they are alcoholics, it doesn’t matter if they have a mental illness, it doesn’t matter why or how they got homeless, they are people who have feelings and don’t deserve hate. I stop and give what I can almost every time I see them on the corner. I don’t care what they use the money for. Once it’s out of my hands, it’s no longer my business but I make sure to shake their hands and converse with them while at the red light. Even a few words means a lot to someone. I don’t always have money on me but I always roll my window down and say words of encouragement. Little acts of kindness goes a long way.
all time it’s my money and I can give it to whom I want to. I don’t make assumptions on what they use the money for and it’s not my business either. After a long hard day I like a cold beer. I’m sure if I was in the side of the road with people yelling at me, I’d want a drink after that too. Plus I spent a long time in the Army and I learned real quick, when ur starving, u can’t sleep good. So after awhile they will buy food anyways. After all of my tax money that is given to women that stay at home and have multiple kids with multiple fathers and get welfare, food stamps and section 8 housing, why do the homeless deserve less? Better than giving it to woman who lays on her back with her legs spread just so she can collect free money.
Ben, well stated.
Amen, god bless you.
Wow you are such a good person. And so humble. What a great guy. You are changing the world by giving homeless people money. What would we do without you.
"Their choices don't matter, we should just give them everything they want"
-Logic of Ben Vasilinda, dumb ass 2019.
I was homeless from the age of 14 to 16 ,living from day to day I was asleep one night and some drunk men kicked the living daylights out of me ,I was 14 ? Taken into hospital and I managed to escape from people that wanted to put me in care in them days you were never treated right . I'm 59 now and never a day goes by that I know how easy it is to be back there, being diabetic I would never survive now, adds to the fear but I stay positive,I have too. Thank you for your input from the UK.
My heart goes out to that lovely soul . She's a champion for just being alive. Shine on .
Thank you
@@lovelynakooka995 💚 I hope you are doing ok over there.
Regardless of what brought you to homelessness you deserve dignity and to be treated humanely God Bless
I personally live paycheck by paycheck..if I fall ill tomorrow or anything bad happens to me, I could very easily end up in that situation.
Only Gameplays i feel u man
In Canada we pay so much for everything just because it is so expensive for anything we need. Like food and gasoline, rent and everything even supplies like lumber if a person needed it. Most people live paycheck to paycheck. A person here struggles to put any money aside and it always needs to go somewhere. Like oh shit I need winter tires or new work boots. And gas can go up 30 cents a litre in two weeks. Fuck I can't believe it here. They tax the hell out of us.
Only Gameplays agree.....
You need to cut down some of your expenses and save as much as possible just incase something happens to u, and if u can invest that savings for a side income DAT can reaaly keep you financially sound.
+Stop Smoking For Life I don't believe this was any advice for you! Dumbdumb
Very sad and depressing makes me wanna cry. God help and bless the homeless! Shout out to the producer of this video/story 🙏
She actually is lovely...God bless this child please!
I am homeless. I also served 5 years in the Marine Corps. I have a daughter. She was abducted and then kidnapped when the mother left California and moved to New York. I haven't seen them in 11 years. New York says I owe child support for all that time. And there is an interest rate. I can't afford to pay the interest rate. So the debt continues to grow. Any money I put in the bank is taken by the state. My wages are garnished. I work over 60 hours a week, and I still can not afford a home. If I pay rent, I can't eat. So I live in a Semi Truck, where I work. And I'll have to keep driving a truck until I am unable to drive. And by that time, I'll be in more debt even though I am making payments. I might as well burn the money because it's paying the people who forced me into a hardship, to continue to labor with no possibility of retirement. I am not just homeless. I am a slave.
Matt's Van Life wtf man that’s fucked up
The system is fu*k'd.
Smh
Your story is not that unusual unfortunately, i know a guy that got divorced, wife and kids got allotted more support than he could afford, he moved to another state and went 'under the radar', otherwise he would have probably been homeless too. It's so sad
you need a lawyer homeboy, no way they should be charging you more money than you can afford. I love how the US treats its veterans you risk your life and if you survive we destroy it. USA! USA!
So sad to see another indigenous woman lost and on the streets. Especially with the amount of them going missing.
'whitey' doesn't care, it's a prerequisites for said to thrive the most (where it applies), along with mass incarceration of proportionally mostly latinos/blacks (working class whites aside)..
Sad, I remember a Lovely from being in the same situations as a kid. I also have been homeless, and went to school for nursing while sleeping in a car. Got sober with the help of a high-power then paid lots of money to expunge my record, and prayed a lot. Luckily made it to the other side: so sad to see her in this situation 🥺 Praying for you young lady!🙏🏼🙌🏼
@Jay Phive~ how strong are you to make a better way for yourself. God be with you sir. 🙏✝️👊
❤️
Well done you. I hope this see girl finds her path.
Thank you for this. Broke my heart to see her suffering, that poor girl's going through. She deserves to have a dad and a mom who loves her unconditionally. Blessings to her and the strength she gained help others that she can relate to.
I wish I could help them all, I really do. God be with them and keep them. safe. 🙌🙏

Are u even real😂😂
It is 2018, I watched the video and was very touched by Lovely's story. As someone who experienced the streets for a year as an 11-12 yr old, and foster homes, I really hope that Lovely is happy and doing well. All the best to her.
You are stronger than most people,keep going my dearly!!!

This is so heartbreaking, she's a very very strong woman, thank you so much for helping her change her life
Poor homeless girls. It is always more cruel for them. They can't avoid being raped, none of them.
All there faces show so much pain yet the eyes still sparkle with hope!
thought the same
eyes so bright
Jenny&Brett you reap what you sow..
Liberty Drew in this world there is little compassion,the way I look at it all is only the strong survive period.And being weak in this world would be for your disanvatage.Now why do you think the number ratio from the poor out numbers the rich by a serious long shot.Now there would be a number of factors for that why the majority of humans are poor but I'll leave that up to your imagination..
citizens of the.... last days?it was my impression, grettings from argentina, nice coment.
dream warrior wrote: "you reap what you sow" - Is that a comment about the individuals or on this uncaring society that does not respect human beings unless they have money. The US spends most of the tax revenue on the military, invasions, occupations of other countries, instead of education, healthcare and housing. And billionaire leeches stash their wealth offshore instead of paying their share. Don't blame homeless people for the ills of this sick society.
I am so glad this young lady was able to get some help .thank you Jesus
It was Joy within her all along
That made her have patience, be Kind,and stay strong. Even when she was at her breaking points .
Amazing how her spirit seemed to lifted up!
Should tell Jesus to not have put her through all that crap in the first place
Amen, Thank you Lord.. "oh to be his hand extended.. reaching out to Him in Praise...
where were your jesus when she got raped
I like her Voice, she's cute, hope she has found her way to a better life....
This was me. I'm now in my 30s and an addictions counselor and social worker. You have it right girl. Not all of is are strong enough to get back up. You are. If I can you can. I pray you're well.

@nic sharp Yo are you serious? I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ENDED UP HOMELESS. THEY ARE NOW ON THEIR FEET AND YOU COULD BECOME A BUM SINCE YOU THINK THAT UNFORTUNATE PEOPLE ARE BUMS. IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. SHE HAD NO FAMILY TO GUIDE HER. YOU SUCK!
"Living the dream"? What does that mean. What is the dream bozo? Lovely is alive but living the dream she isn't. I doubt that you know this woman.
Lovely ♥️
@@baremax Yup
Hello, please let me know how I can contact her. I want to send her a care package. I am a substance abuse counselor with many years working in mental health. Although it's the most beautiful state I've ever lived in, I've seen so much evil in California. That's the least I can do.
*My heart goes out to Lovely. May God bless her for always.*
You're indeed lovely! Such a kind spirit and warm smile, I'm rooting for you! Sitting here in Sweden so I can't really do anything for you guys, but I'm trying to help here locally. With your spirit you should be able to go far!! This video really touched me
I was homeless for 18 months and now living in transitional housing. The most important thing I learned: *When you're homeless, you have to come to your own rescue, or you won't survive.*
have a nice day,

YEPPP..😔
Sink or swim.
I agree with you.
This video made me cry! How can a beautiful child be let down like this!!!??? How can society let a beautiful girl such as Lovely just fall through the cracks when she was suppose to be safety netted???!!! Took notice of that this video was taped almost 3 years ago. I hope things have improved for Lovely and that things are looking up for her!!! And I hope she makes her way into a successful photography career! I sense that she would be an outstanding professional photographer!!!
You learn who your real friends are when u hit rock bottom...
Them friends/best friends disappear...
I never did drugs but I was a drinker...I went into rehab got a job n my own place...

Giving me hope and this comment is definitely true you learn who’s really there for you
As a grown-up god and ya money is ya best friend
So true you really know who your true friends r when u hit rock bottom with no fault of ur own.
I believe there isn't no freinds in this world. Completely agree with that statement. You see allot more when you hit rock bottom. Clear picture. Smh. God is the only true freind. Have faith in him. The only one who truly cares. Thank you jesus. For everything you done in my life. And continue doing. 🙏😞🙏

I've been homeless 2 and half years due to hurricane Harvey. Being a female makes it much worse. She's right, your scared to sleep at night and never really get much rest. . Sleep deprivation makes it even worse. I sometimes hold a sign during the day begging.... and because I feel safe with so many people around, I sometimes just atomativally fall asleep?! I've had people accuse me of being drunk, or high! ,but I'm not... Please don't judge all.
I'm stuck on what she said "she went to the cops to tell them she s been raped and they told her You find a drug dealer we find your rapist" WTF SMFH! Damn shame I hope she reported them.
I agree!!!
Niylah JayPheonix same thing happened to me with the cops when I was raped and tortured by police. The cops won't help. So now I don't call the cops at all. I fight to the death.
hurts real bad indeed
I'm not buying it.
Niylah- jay.- typical guuttless pigs/ gestapo, Shitt themselves every time. As a ex castrater farmer jist bring the rapist's too me and ahh will make Senorita Bobbit off Ecuedor look like a nun.
beautiful young lady very strong great smile her name fits her beautiful spirit
Gary Murray nice comment man..good to see there is caring people out there
Your a beautiful young lady! Don't ever give up! May God be with you always!

I am so happy that she gets a second chance. She deserves it. ♥️🙏🏽
Hey if you're single hit me
My mother always told me ppl will give you food to eat, before they give you a place to stay ..
Because most people are managing their own living situation like a piece of fragile glass....it could fall to pieces at any time.
A person could be living in a shack that's crumbling down around them, but it feels like they live in a mansion cauz at least its theirs, and they aint out on the street.
Man. People have GOT to take better care of themselves. Because Self is all we truly have.
Some people don't even offer that
Most people only have their own homes, they do not have extra homes. And, let's face it- most people are afraid to take in a stranger into their homes because they don't know what kind of people they are taking in. The person could be on drugs, be a thief or cause them harm. That is just the reality of things, not trying to judge or put all homeless people in the same class. But, one bad apple will ruin it for all. There have been people who took in homeless people to help them get on their feet and the homeless people killed the person that tried to help them. So, I'm sure we can understand that fear. Then, people realize that they themselves have to 'work' in order to have a home (and sometimes they are barely making ends meet), so they cannot take care of another adult. Another thing to look at is a person home may be full already, they have family in the home they are taking care of. Plus, people are going to or should be very careful who they bring around their children. There are just so many factors to look at. It's not that people don't want to help.

rita pita.... FACTS. I feel sorry for some, but let us see what got them there in the first place to analyze if we need to be sorrowful or just call them a dumb ass. The lady in the video "choose" to get into trouble then she seemed to be hanging out (so to speak) with the wrong people. If you chilling with low lives, criminals, wrong doers all day, then you can't cry wolf on how you got mistreated. She choose it.
GravityLee... God is with those ladies every day that get raped and sold by ISIS. He is also on the killing fields to watch their husbands, fathers, brothers (men) get slaughtered for no reason also. He does not do anything about it though.... he is just there. (Faith euphoria is the worst)

Beautiful story, almost made me cry. I'm from Mexico and in my country we don't have the programs and resources to help homeless people to get back on their feet. I'm a homeless man myself, I can speak four languages and have a master's degree in business, but no one wants to employ me because I'm 63 years old. Watching this amazing young woman I feel like not giving up. Thanks for this great article.
As I scrolled through these stories I am appalled at how many elderly are in the homeless population. With the cost of housing going up, up 8:17 8:17
And social security going down, I am afraid I may be homeless soon. It keeps me awake at night.
Sooo glad u didn't give up. Your are such a blessing & the world needs more people like you!🙌☺️🙏
Oh baby I pray for you that all your dreams come true and you never sleep another night on the street! Your story made me cry! God bless you sweetie

God is can use her to reach people that were in her situation. The unreachable. People that wont listen to someone in a suit and tie. She is a beautiful daughter of god
The replies are fkn stupid, marisa you're correct, i agree with you 100%✊🤜🤛
@@5tonyvvvv hopefully by this time you grew up from your comment on this🙄🤷♂️
I will help the homeless. Giving out food or haircuts or money. I don't have much but I have more than them. I feel so sorry for Lovely, it's painful. To know that an innocent person was brought to this world to only be used and tossed out like trash. No one deserves that. I hope she is doing better and that we as a society start giving them the much needed help.
I was homeless and it's hard to explain but you feel literally helpless and so depressed that even if someone tries to help you it won't work most of the time.
GOD I pray for you to send guardian angels to protect this young woman
I pray for her too
No one is above homelessness 💀paychecks aren’t guaranteed !!!!!!!!
the capitalistic dream
You are 100% right. I NEVER trust any job and tell other people to NEVER trust a job. Thanks for your words of wisdom
Kelly Norvell JOB = just over broke
USA ALWAYS how right you were! Not knowing that this virus would hit and upset the economy like it did
I dont get how people that make music and barely put any effort can be milionairs while other people who work their ass off day and night turn homeless ,the world is messed up
Don't underestimate the hardships of creative work and especially music, even many of those that become famous have had rough periods with some even becoming homeless for some time
I don't think comparing effort without specifics is productive or worthwile. You never know what people have gone through to be where they are, whatever that place may be.
Because helping a person who actually needs it is totally "Communist."
Too many Children in high positions. And not enough Adults.
IQ matters, some people just know how to invest, sell, and manage. It’s a complicated world and there is no place for people who can’t hack it. We have to do a better job of offering hots and cot as cheaply as possible. The problem of that solution is people would rather use drugs on the street, then stay in a situation of three hots and cot and no drugs allowed.
I have been arguing this point for years. Why actors, footballers, t.v personalities are paid more and idealised when nurses, doctors, care workers are paid less. Why is someone paid more because they can sing better than you and I. How ridiculous is that?
So happy to hear of a positive change in a homeless person's life🥀
East or west Only good people suffer the most, the people who have the greatest and sweetest hearts are in Pain. and bad people control the countries.
Yaman Alyafi'i True
All it matters is who can push and shove you out of the way to prosper in life. In smallest things you will encounter normal decent people doing little tricks to get ahead of others.People who you otherwise will not regard as crooks but are clever and mean too .Those who cant do it are good hearted people who gets hurt . World moves on.
This is so true. When you serve Satan you get what you want.
U are so right, i lived for others and now am homeless and those who i have suffered greatly for are gone
Of course, I agree. I know first hand
You go Lovely! Stay up stay Strong!
God has heard your crys you are strong women keep up the good work prayers to the homeless this lovely lady.
God Bless you. You have such a beautiful soul. Hope all your dreams come true !!!
How sad that she could not get help from the cops when she was assaulted... that is a tragedy
I always give to the homeless whenever I can. And that's truth! I realize that you can be up today and down tomorrow.
Such a beautiful human being. Lovely is definitely lovely! :)
Beautiful young lady bless her she reminds me of my self when I was in my teens but was having and going through difficulties like she has /is I wish I had a pass port, or she had one cos she could come and live in my house with me, ove in England U. K, for as long as it takes for her to find her feet, I really wish this was possible, my hart goes out to her as it does to all ppl without a safe personnel space to sleep live relax,, etc and a huge hug for them all from me, xoxox
She is very well spoken, seems to me she had some education.
May God give her a lot of blessings.
I have so much respect for you, Lovely. and everyone that experiences similar things. So much strength and beauty
Thank you!
What a shame, poor lass, so pretty and you feel for her. I hope she gets what she needs to be herself. I hope and pray for you Lovely.

I am so proud of you you are a very beautiful girl and I speak to my grandchildren and my two young grandchildren who are going on 11 and I speak to them about how we should be so grateful for the food that's put on the table weather Grandma makes makes it good or not I'm not the best cook but it is food it is sustenance I always try to explain to them how there are so many people in this world that suffer from homelessness starvation abuse and grow up in ways that I could never imagine and as I think they think it or they know it they don't really see it so you're an inspiration for me to teach my grandchildren to not be so self-absorbed and think of others and to give to others and to start saving in they're little Banks to give to the homeless and yes there is a stigma with some homeless people where you feel like you give them the money and they're going to just go buy beer or drugs yet when I see them standing on the corner and I'm able to roll my window down and give it to them I give it to them graciously without any expectations and believe me I'm on a very fixed income because I'm in poor health and the poor health was because I abused my body when I was younger yet I had it all which means I had and upper-middle-class family a loving mother and father who were married for 60 years and I had very strict rules and I would run away and that would cause me problems because I felt they were too strict but now looking back on it I knew that my parents were right and for the times that I ran away it was disgusting it was horrible and the things I had to do for a roof over my head and or sleep in the elements was horrible so as I wasn't actually homeless for long periods of time I experienced being on the streets by my own choice and I know how hard it can be so my dear friend I hope you reach all of your dreams because you are a beautiful girl and I see the strength in you and the willpower and I just know that you're going to go places keep kicking it Forward girlfriend and keep us informed on how you're doing
I hope she’s okay now 🥺🙏🏼, her soul is so strong for going through all of that 💙

I take homeless in my apartment. It was a 3 bedroom apartment in Jamestown NY. My 2 sisters, my Fiance, and myself rent it. We have about 7 - 8 people staying with us at a time. In the small attic. And basement(wich is decent).
Most of the time, a person who becomes homeless, needs a HAND UP...NOT A HAND OUT!
Her smile is so beautiful. NYC🤘
Thanks for talking about homeless people.
I appreciate it.
Sometimes i think i will end up like them.
The world has not been kind to me.
I pray that those of you who have shared your story in these comments are truly blessed the way I have been and some...... I hope to meet you all one day! I run into strangers almost everyday that stop me just to give me a hug because they have seen my story. I had no idea how much of an impact this video would make. I am so grateful for this opportunity.
You're amazing!
There are so many nasty things people are saying here. Not everyone has a healthy mind. The majority of homeless are mentally ill. They can't afford medication and unless you have been even close to mentally sick you have no idea why or how they got where they are. I don't understand why the ones that are so angry about this girl watch the video and why do you feel the need to write something so awful. Why not just move on? I'm thinking several people that are so offended by her have no idea what REAL struggle is. I don't mean just regular life struggles either. I mean the serious shit. People are so fast to just judge. I'm sure I will get some nasty comments but it's fine.
Kimberly W.. Yes i agree with you about why people are so negative, I just do not understand the negative messages i see every where at times for it pays dividends when we choose to be nice & when those negative people choose to be mean & harsh, So why not win by being nice?
Kimberly W some people don’t know what they talking about
Yes, people can be amazingly ignorant. Everyone can have something happen but many have something happen or something worse without reliable supports. People are becoming more and more isolated and disconnected from community and agencies might not be reliable or known. Notice she was asked to do research for police in exchange for the police taking care of the crime that was committed against her, when she should have been helped as a matter of course and was probably too worn out from it all to do anything. It is amazing the extent to which people judge, judging when many are a step away from it themselves and would not recover without secure supports. Some simply have lost these supports and things happen. On a side note, I heard a high percentage of people by their 40s in the US have had some period of homelessness, the difference perhaps was that they had a way to be helped out and backup resources with trusted friends’ or relatives’ sofas to sleep on.
Amen Kimberly ,people are judgmental and very sad inside . No room for non empathetic people send them mars.
Finally some compassion!
Omg, what a story... And what a strong soul!!! I send you my love ❤
This girl is so cute, so beautiful, so strong and so focused, a true fighter! I cried when tears ran down her face. She did not deserve such a hard life and it broke my heart to hear she did not have anyone around to help her, guide her or support her. She is so brave to share her story .... It's been several years since this video was uploaded. I really hope she is doing well!!!
Soooo proud of you I am in tears. A good attitude is the starting point I think. Finding people that care about you is solo important as we all need to be and feel loved. Your experiences will assist others as you begin to heal and this can take a very long time. I am so happy you found this group and I give you big hugs.
Sweetheart, you deserve so much more. I'm so sorry people have failed you since day one. No one is immune to becoming homeless. Only spread love.
My oldest brother became homeless after loosing his wife . I took him in when i became a adult. His life changed my life. I believe because of the mental emotional abuse from our mother we never loved ourselves enough to want better
Thank you guys for helping these poor people out! Plenty of love and blessings to you, as well as Lovely, she seems so amazing and deserves to live out her dreams.
"It can happen to anyone" 💯 Hope this Beautiful young ladii is doing well now, good head on her shoulders.
i hope y’all help these people since y’all interviewing them
Amen!
Why dont you help? If your not part of the solution, then your part of the problem.
this interview ai already a big help..don't you think so?
+Ezer's Corner Yup sure is!!!😇God Bless
Joe Caster are you helping them Joe??
I've been homeless multiple times. Shes right it can happe to anyone
You are courageous and will have your dreams keep going girl love you I hear you God bless you wish I could give ya hug!! Keep it up!!
I am heart broken for those of you that have hurtful things to say, but won't take it personal, it is what is this is how social media works apparently. And I myself have been childish and currently can be lol.
I would personally like to say thank all you of for taking 8 minutes out of your time to watch and listen to me, I had no idea that this would go viral. And hi to everyone that recognized me. Those of you who know me, and have witnessed what I have been through thank you for being there for me when you were. I hope that my story has been able to lift those that are down. I hope that I can inspire you to want a good LIFE and to go get it. I didn't realize that my video was going to be used for donation purposes to the DOWN TOWN STREETS TEAM. And I don't mind I love the down town streets team and want to give back as much as I can! I will contact the people who filmed this and you can look at me now....
Ever thought of coming back to Hawaii. Man my heart ached for a second at the beginning of your story. Local girl homeless many miles from home I hope and pray you will be ok.
my respect for you and team-go on-be strong and belive in your self and you will get there -may the Force be with you Lovely and thank you for the video
Jesus bless you Lovely😚🕇💓💓💓💓
Lovely Nako'oka Be strong👏🏼
Just remember those that leave those types of comments are usually just projecting thier own hurt or insecurities through social media...it's just the way this online stuff works now.
I was really inspired by your story and that you found the stepping stone you needed to rise up.
Keep moving forward and staying strong.
I've been Homeless a lot in my life.......Thanks for sharing Love, very brave of you, God bless
like a god's blessings help
i want you to know that someone does care ok i may not be able to help you get off the street but i can tell you that someone does care and i wish you the best of luck getting off the street.
My heart goes out to all those living on the streets. To MY understanding no one can identify with being homeless until it happens to them...
Amen.i was with two good freinds of mines that are homeles an as i felt bad for them i also felt so good to be around good hearted people .very humble an giving.
I knew she was local .... so can tell.... stay strong sistah!✊✊🤜🤛❤
many ppl do not realize how the system treats wards of the state who go into the system. there are SOME children who get proper homes. I feel her...
It is rare as the system is underfunded and therefore understaffed and frankly having lived in the foster system and worked in it foster parenting should be paid more.....dr.s being paid a lot didn't ruin their profession why is it that women's work and emotional and mental health are treated so poorly?
Sherri Vonch me too😢😭
I was in foster care also. I definitely can relate .This was hard to watch. I pray shes on the path of healing.How's she doing now? Is there an update?
Kenna Miller 🤗
iv been homeless, and by the grace of god i'm not homeless today.
I will never look down on a homeless person ever, I don't care if they have an addiction..its just the circumstances...that does not strip them of there humanity...don't let it strip you of yours....
this girls story touches me..i too am from Hawaii
God Bless you Lovely!
I'm so happy this woman got help! I feel relieved! I was homeless too. I'm good now. Still have goals to get better. I'm on it..
