Homeless Woman Shares Heartbreaking Story of Life on the Streets of Venice Beach
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ธ.ค. 2018
- Yesterday, I was walking around handing out socks to homeless people in Venice Beach when I happened upon a small cluster of tents. I talked to a few of the people living there and told them that I would be back today with wipes. Often called "bath in a bag" or "shower in a bag," baby wipes are desperately needed on the streets.
Tonight while keeping my promise and handing out wipes I ran into an older woman who was trying to make a home for the night. Every morning at 6am, police come and make everyone tear down their tents. For the growing number of homeless seniors out on the streets, the daily existence living without a home is overwhelming.
I asked Michelle if she would like some wipes. She responded, "I'll take as many as you can give." I then asked her how she ended up homeless in Venice Beach. We sat down on the sidewalk together, and she started to share. Michelle's story is heartbreaking.
"I never asked to be homeless here in Venice. It just happened to me", Michelle starts her story. A friend talked her into moving to California after a bad divorce. Michelle had her own business grooming pets and boarding dogs. She lived on a farm with her ex-husband. Michelle continues "I got to where I thought I was better than anybody myself. Now, look at me."
At one point, Michelle turned to me and said she cannot continue. I kept recording by instinct. I asked Michelle about her most recent stroke six days ago, and she kept on talking. After, Michelle was okay that I didn't stop.
Michelle's purse was stollen with her identification. A friend helped buy a bus ticket. The first driver allowed her to get on the bus without ID. The second driver wasn't so flexible. They threw Michelle out on the streets of Downtown Los Angeles at 3:30 in the morning. This was her first time on L.A. and her first time homeless. Michelle met a few homeless people that took her to a safe place.
Michelle is determined to get herself off the streets and out of homelessness. Although she has health issues, she is a strong woman. She is doing everything in her power to better her life, but the truth is there are not enough resources for all the people who need our help. We need to change that. Everyone in Los Angeles County must work to end homelessness before more people die outside on the streets!

About Invisible People:
Since its launch in November 2008, Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vlog (video blog) gets up close and personal with veterans, mothers, children, layoff victims and others who have been forced onto the streets by a variety of circumstances. Each week, they're on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as TH-cam, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.
Invisible People goes beyond the rhetoric, statistics, political debates, and limitations of social services to examine poverty in America via a medium that audiences of all ages can understand, and can't ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nation's most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath - its founder - and brings into focus the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions face each day. One story at a time, videos posted on InvisiblePeople.tv shatter the stereotypes of America's homeless, force shifts in perception and deliver a call to action that is being answered by national brands, nonprofit organizations and everyday citizens now committed to opening their eyes and their hearts to those too often forgotten.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.
Ma'am I will pray for you Please come back to Indiana I have a two bedroom apt I can share with you and will help you get back on your feet Sis :( Jesus loves you and told me to help you
I hope Mark sees this and gets you two connected.
Michelle Nine that would be amazing i hope she sees your generous offer 💜🌲❄🙏
How kind of you! May God bless your generous heart! I hope your message gets to her, I will pray it does!
don't be so easy to fall for this stuff!!!!!! Most of these people are NUTTS and LIARS
Very much hope you two get connected.
"I am regrouping sir, i will get back on my feet" . the strength needed to say that and mean it is unbelievable. I see it in her eyes
She is one tough lady. I admire her. Let's pray for her.
I will pray for her too.
@@amberrose1108 Praying is a useless gesture.
Sovspot it’s extremely useful. Miracles are done through prayers
@@amberrose1108 Miracles don't exist.
She sounds highly intelligent, well spoken and clearly covers her topics. I hope she is Happier today :/
And you sound ignorant. Why wouldn’t she be highly intelligent and well spoken? Jeez there’s a lot of ignorance in this world. This is exactly why I should be getting paid for my singing and not just being told I am and that never happens. Thank you for this, I’m not singing with another person until people do what they say Justin Bieber Intentions. Etc etc Where’s my half because I haven’t seen one red cent of it and people are dying out in the streets everyday, not everybody has the luxury of waiting for a Christmas that never comes or is put off for too long.
@@haddynough8402 Wow. Why don't you go take another hit of Meth and then write another massive paragraph of completely incoherent nonsense. Calling me ignorant as you struggle to string sentences together, that's Irony.
@@haddynough8402 you ok there buddy?
@@deenanthekemoni5567 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@haddynough8402 nobody asked you to sing. Even if someone did, YOU chose to do it. Stop blaming other people because you don't paid. If you want paid for youtime singing, tell them up front. If not, quit bitching.
Her demeanor is so graceful. She so easy to listen to. Hopefully she's in a better place now.
Do you mean heaven?
@@user-yb6tk1ru6x do you even mean
@@user-yb6tk1ru6x no i think a better place in life
Agreed. Take notice how she doesn't pause or lie. Bc it IS the truth which you don't forget
Did this woman. Ever. Get out. Pls tell me she’s doing good now cus from wat I saw she. Really needs help
Notice how she blames herself. If there is fault, it is in trusting people who are not trustworthy. I will pray she recovers her health and achieves a sense of well-being.
Too late
@ElGatosLastLife You are part of the problem. Screaming virtue signaler at every nice comment, unable to identify who's legitimately concerned or not and calling out everyone just in case is a horrible way to spend your time. For those of us who cant afford to help others in this situation, praying is all we have. Rather than trying to be a bigger person youd drag others down to your level so you dont feel so bad about your own moral shortcomings. Its pathetic.
@ElGatosLastLife no, you are trying to convince people you have the brain of a coconut?
@ElGatosLastLife man that's cheap...
"Notice how she blames herself" Everyone should.
This can happen to any one of us, most are living paycheck to paycheck! 💔
Yes
I'm about two paychecks behind right now.
So true your rotten capitalism government to blame the mongel government here in Australia trying the same but the unions are pretty strong here
Ur absolutely right it could happen to anyone .. especially at the time we’re on now. I think it’s time to move to Canada
It's so easy to save money and make more money, I dont get this.
Amber Wallace-Goldberg I’ve saved all my stimulus money plus so far plus Covid 19 unemployment- moved in with 3ppl as a Roomate the last 3months .. so far I’ve saved $7200 and counting lol yes desperate times for desperate measures of course I’ve a back ground in saving money especially in my 401k and stocks etc - At the end day it’s about what’s important to you and what best suits you .
The poor darling. This is so sad,a very intelligent lady,forced into a hard life.
Man I feel so sorry for her.
I'm hope she's doing better now. I'm praying for her health and financial situation. Sending her my love ❤️❤❤.
She had a psychopath friend that convinced her to leave her husband. That #friend# now has her car and possessions. I hope she recovers. She seems strong. Yet sad. When we are are going through a crisis, like her marriage problem, we have to be careful with who we let into our lives. We are vulnerable and Wolves dressed up as sheep are just waiting their prey.
@M Ferreira Come again? 😕
Look up the parable The wheat and the tares...
She shows all traits of a compulsive liar
Lol u believe any of this? No.
lookatthis
True👍
She opened my eyes when she said she got to where she thought she was better than everyone and now look at her.
Being humble is so vital. God be with her, he teaches us hard lessons and I hope this lady feels that.
That statement too got to me! When she said that, it was like everyone hearing her story needed to hear those words!
She's got a lovely way of telling her story verry well spoken woman
Listen to what she says, she contacdicts her self constantly
@ yes I understand but still a woman like that could lean herself up and take 1 step forword finding a job
"I dont want no one to feel sorry for me, I want people to pray for me."
I heard it as neither bro, she doesn’t want anybody to feel sorry for her or pray for her.
I cried when i saw this video. I have a daughter and i cant imagine this happening to her in future. This woman is also someones daugter
No one cares. She doesn't fit into Wall St's schemes.
Ask Jamie Dimon what he thinks she should do, lol. He'll "think about it."
❤
Beautiful sentiment.
most of us are a hop skip and a jump away from that rather we realize it or not
Yeah I just became homeless. I don't even know how it happened. It's such a mystery.
@Steven Hickman i have many relatives too, not a single one of them gives a rats ass about anyone but themselves. perhaps she is in the same boat too
Many of us not even that far. Most of us are dangerously, dangerously close. We all live in a house of cards.
@Steven Hickman
Take it from me, some relatives don't care, and, the person who is sick,down on their luck or homeless knows that they don't care.
This world is a dark place, when you aren't alone. When you add being alone, or alone with health issues, to the equation, then you find out just how lonely, and dark it can become.
🌻
@chief tp Thank You, I get so frequin sick of hearing that too. I guess it makes them feel better saying we are all in the same boat but that is not the case.
“I’m the one that did it, I’m the one that’s gonna fix it” -real words to live by, but you don’t have to do it on your own :/
That's why we need to be really careful listening to certain "friends".
I'm praying for her.Her story is so sad.
yes HER PAIN IS SO CLEARLY OBVIOUS .. AT LEAST SHE CAN SHARE ..NOT ALL CAN,
She should’ve gotten alimony from her rich ex!😓
@@dbkyhere9229 Your compassion is over whelming ... ever deal with a divorce attorney who wants a down payment ... or worse lacking the emotional inner strength to go through a divorce with multiple appearances / expert witnesses / aggressive attorney cross examination -- sadly sometimes it just easier to walk away... u only know when you have been through.
silentfades I’ve been through similar things , not a divorce, but protecting family members, and caregivers to do their job correctly, so I get it. Just sad how by the time the ending comes people are too broke up mentally, and physically to get justice. I hope and pray she can read the offers of help.
@@dbkyhere9229 yes it is sad ... in fact tragic. A murder of ones soul.
Such a disconnected world :( I'm praying for you to find a connection with warmth and belonging ❤xxx
After you pray, please do something about it. Even the most basic things help. a $10 dollar purchase will go a long way.
@Beautiful World SO TRUE!!!
🙂
Preying dosnt work if you really want help homless people. Volunteer or raise funds for them. Its what i do.. Why.. Because preying dosnt work there not 1 documented case
Fire Angel your comment is lovely...🌸
I love her determination. Whatever her situation now, better or worse, she's in my prayers today.
Like your prayers will make any fucking difference AT ALL
@I Coroa pretty much sums it up. All studys have show when someone who is a believer knows they are being prayed for they do worse
"I'm the one who did it; I'm the one whose going to fix it."
This speaks volumes.
It really doesn't.
Oh blah blah ducking blah. With fake ass bullshit.
@@sammauldin3524 okay there bud dunno who pissed you off😂 you should learn to love people not spread hate
Praying for this sweet woman
No one should be on the streets. ESPECIALLY if theyre elderly and female. This is Heartbreaking.
It really is. It is too dangerous
@@PrincessTatyanna Sadly, both homeless demographics are growing
Was just watching other 🎥 s in LA on this topic, with statistics. Pretty bleak picture altogether.
All americans needs to wake up. They are our fellow americans in need. Feed them, cloth them and give them shelters. this is human rights violations. She's a senior citizen. heart problems. no families around to ask for help. she has as good spirits to get back on her feet. she needs food she's very very hungry. its cold at night. where are the rich america n organizations. ????? the land is big to build more housing she alters. She's an old lady far awa y from her loving families
. where's the brotherhood and sisterhood. i think we voted for the wrong politicians.
David Tolentino
Not everyone has loving families. At her age, they may well be deceased.
So much respect for being so honest about her struggles. I really hope that she's in a better place now, she deserves it
Someone bought her a ticket home.
@@babesrus674 how do u know
I'm sad for her. This is the type of person who needs help from our government.
She had help and chose drugs and crime. There is another video more in depth and she has robbed people and assaulted them for drugs. She laughed about it. Dont fall for the act.
UK DoctorFRCS Fair enough. Nobody says that she didn’t screw up at any turn to end up there. And if they do they’re naive. But no need to throw more mud on her dirty laundry. Being homeless is bad enough.
Thank you William for your compassion
I'm sure she gets a check
IS she able to get Disablity If she can talk to some to her appy for Social Security
After watching all of these videos I have a different view towards homeless people. Today I stopped at subway and bought this guy I drove past everyday always at the same spot. God bless you my friend he said.
Frank Frascella this is amazing! I view them differently now also. Heartbreaking.
Like you, i stopped judging and just helped when moved to. Perspective adjustment.❤
Matthew 6:3
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth.
Pretty damn good attitude right there. She will fix it...
Back when I had a Facebook account, there was a page I liked called Humans of New York (HONY). The guy would take a picture of some random passerby and include a paragraph long quote from the person about their life. Your channel is like an extended, more focused riff on that premise. I really appreciate you bringing these stories out in such a compassionate and direct way. :)
This woman has a beautiful soul, you can see it. I will prey for her and try to think of her every time I THINK I’m having a bad day! 💕
Everyone deserves to be loved
🦈👁
Everyone IS loved by Jesus.
I greatly appreciate your TH-cam channel sir. You are most noble for documenting the real struggle of beautiful human beings dealing with life. May God bless them and you as well.
Im vlogging my experience with homlessness as well. Shit sucks but i wanna see my progress
@@kampjamm7121 Prayers for you!
@@michellenine9486 thank you that means more than you think
@@kampjamm7121 you're very welcome ❤️
i was homeless once and i met really nice people in those shelters and on the streets. they are so nice n kind, funny. since then i got my ish together and whenever i see them on the streets or corners i have buy them foods to eat. 💚🖤💜
I am an adopted child , but God gave me everything that i needed thats why im thankful . Having watched this video, i pray to God to help me to be an instrument to help persons who are in need. GOD pls bless and help those persons, who are in need...to God be the glory!!!!
God bless her. I'll pray for her tonight 🙏📿✝️
Amen,i feel bad about her
How are you
Nice to meet you
Christie I wish your prayers are accepted
Prayer is not much.....So here goes....God we come before you and place Your daughter in the palm of Your hands Lord. We ask that You continue to give her supernatural strength and that you bring healing to her body. We ask that You open doors of blessings and opportunities. I cover your children with your precious blood and rebuke all works of the enemy in Jesus name Amen. 🙌☝🙏
Leslie C. Amen to that! Thank you Father, thank you Jesus.
I agree with you in prayer. May she find strength, security, good health and blessings forever, in Jesus name amen🙏🏼
Leslie C. Amen..dear Jesus we agree and grieve for her and want you to cover and deliver her in Jesus Almighty name. We trust and know that you are our strength, rock and mighty God..you put us all here to help each other..by your example
That fixed it.
@@campyc40 no it didnt. But prayer gives hope and hope keeps us going. And she asked for prayer so lets pray for her.
This absolutely breaks my heart, nobody should ever have to live like this!!
Praying for her. I love her strength and I know she's going to overcome.
It makes me mad how the police are treating the homeless
Police are only doing what the community wants. Yes, there are bad cops and bad teachers and bad....! I have worked with wonderful police to really care about our homeless friends. Thing is, they don't make the rules. They just enforce them, which is why we need to change how people view homelessness and homeless people.
surely you mean NAZIS ...!!!! I have lived in NYC worked in ERs there - the cops for the most part are immoral and coldly oblivious people with no souls/ I have purposely witnessed them, prodding people with their night sticks - kicking folks to wake them us as they screamed at them. Of course not all are like that but the ones who are not are just as culpable as they turn their heads to the abuse . The worse was when I and another physician were walking and three cops were standing around a homeless man how had just been stabbed. My friend said she was a physician and as well I a PA but they would not let us near him.... it was clear he was bleeding out and eventually just got very very still and quiet ... it was obvious what had happened. Report them - thats a joke -- rip and put right into file 13 as soon as you leave. Like i said you mean NAZIs.
silentfades ...I believe you....police are brutal beasts, I distain them.
Im homless and ive met some cops that have helped me out by not giving me tickets for trespassing. Recommending places i could sleep and what not. But some are trash. Its honestly 50/50

Wow, this one was super sad... she’s harboring some anger with herself, I know she’ll get out of that situation she seems like a tough woman. Praying for her.
So much pride still.
Finding this channel helped me a lot in broaden the view on these lives and what they've been thru
She's special, I pray she is okay. Something about her stole my heart. I wish I was in a position to help.
I was ashamed of where I lived, until I met a man without a home.
I felt sorry for myself when I had no shoes, until I met a man with no feet. So I said to the man, "I guess you won't be needing those shoes, will ya?"
TheDudeAbides bro
Why would a man without feet have shoes with him, that makes no sense B
I was ashamed of having no identity, until I met a man without ID.
She said "I want them to pray for me"
Dear Jesus, please help this lady to find you. Help her to know how much you love her. Please protect her. Please get her saved, which means to confess your sins and ask you to save her. Please help her to put her trust in you. Thank you, Amen.
This made me cry
Oh my God, what an evil man. He took everything from her, and could have easily helped her. I am so sorry this happened to you, I am praying for you.
What about her "friend" who drove her truck and her belongings? She was the one who convinced her to move. Why isn't she helping her. I would have asked. She could have sold her truck on got of the streets. Does anyone know if she was helped?
That made my heart sink smh
The strongest people are the ones that are homeless they deal with so much that people don't understand. It messes u up mentally I did it for 3 weeks and felt like years god bless her
I think she is my favorite out of all your interviews so far. She's going in my thoughts and prayers for sure🙏🏼💜
This is beyond heartbreaking. A decent women fallen on hard times. Here’s to a second chance!
I wish this lady would come and live with me...I would give her a room in my home to get her off the streets...I would help her..
She looks determined and so I’m praying for her too. She’s got this!
When she said " I thought of myself as better than anyone else, because her husband is a rich farmer. Now look at me?" That statement broke my heart!💔 That statement made me think of a particular Bible verse, about pride?
She can do it herself without god. Thanks.
@@TJR-ju8dj - It is God who gives us the power to get wealth. Deuteronomy 8:18
My heart breaks for this poor women! 🥺😢😭
Yea that is sad , but I am glad this guy is making these videos. He really is impacting people when they watch it

His name is Mark. He is an advocate for the homeless, having experienced it himself. He is extremely caring and kind.
This made me cry,i really feel so damn sorry for her.
I really love the way you approach them. Thank you for this channel.
May God Bless this lady and ALL of the Homeless people. Lilly
Amen!God bless her
How are you Lillian
Nice to meet you
45 yrs ago i would say to my friends, when we were out on the town, & where the parks had wino's & homeless people sleeping under bushes on the ground or on park benches, "don't laugh at, or put these people down, because we dont know their story, & they all have a story to living this way"
i stand by this today. Its all to sad. My heart breaks for them.
God bless Her . What a wonderful Inspirational Woman. fighter Warrior Amen always ❤️🙏
This is so sad. She and all the homeless will be in my prayers.
Time and time again when I hear these people say their 3 wishes , it's always something very humble. While most people wish for material objects some people just wish for security, safety and happiness. Which i believe every living being deserves
This is heartbreaking.
Glad I live in a country with a security net for the less fortunate. (Norway)
Wish this people the best..
Thomas T true that. But also has to be mentioned that, especially our young people abuse the good social care system... i know countless young guys just living off NAV, no goals in life cause they get paid ~20‘000 kronor a month, which is a huge amount. So they just play their computer games, or do whatever else they think is right. No life experience nor sth else....
@@inverovenevectum6857 what you're talking about exists in Norway or am I getting you wrong?
Just wait. Population and your virtue signaling will have you sweden in no time. Norway norway oh I have been hearing lately of norway? They must have it good and now will be eaten?....do not take foriegners or join global or you will be America but not able to it and be eaten. Any country that is independent and doing well is a big TARGET
My heart breaks x wish I had millions to help people like this beautiful soul x
Thank you for telling these people’s stories with dignity and in a nonjudgmental fashion. And God bless each and every one of them....no exceptions.
*"I thought I was better than everyone else"*
This is how "normal" Americans think every single day and everyone pretends to care
Normal Americans are a paycheck away from this exact situation, it's not that we don't care, it's that we can't help without putting ourselves in the same place.
What you said is very true... WE go about our business thinking that what we have will last forever or until the day we pass away, but the truth is that in a blink of an eye we are all one paycheck away from being homeless. I pray that the lord will give this lady the strength to get back on her feet and that he blesses her with good loving people that will encourage her to succeed in her life.
So true
Sargeant Barnes man there go I but for the grace of God.
Debra Roo not everyone thinks like that but ok
" I'm the one who did it . I'm the one who's gonna fix it " . A sense of personal responsibility . unwilling to be a victim. This woman has guts . I'll admit that .
Oh yes, how quaint it is to imbue society with a sense of personal responsibility when we live in a con artist culture which is largely celebrated.
Enough of this bullshit. The homeless in America are largely the sane ones who became broken and disillusioned from a fanatical and farcical system.
When the insane run the asylum, don't be shocked when it's hard to determine who is actually sane. Hint: it's not the guy with a collection of Ferarri's.
Maybe she's one of those people with pride that cannot ask for help
Broke my heart watching this, bless her. I really hope she gets back on her feet no one deserves that.
So much love and heart for these stories I hope its get better because it’s never too late.
Prayers your way lady❤️🙏
😔 😢 😢 😢 Ty for talking to the homeless and helping them!! You must be an 😇 in this time for them.. ☺
It really broke my heart to hear the story of this wonderful and strong lady 😢
I prayed for you and will do it as much as I can. ❣❣❣
I paused this and prayed for you. I'm crying as I type this. You are SO loved. SO important and SO special. You are a daughter of the KING! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My heart goes out to this lady ❤I Pray all goes well for you 🙏
This is so incredible.
You can see the pain in her heart when she talks about it wow I can relate to inner pain and having a broken heart God's speed!!!
Oh lord, I will pray for her!!! If I can do it you can Michelle! Some one please help her even if she says no!
I respect the lady. She has a lot of good character. I bet she was a hard worker before. My prayers for her ! God bless !
This lady has such a pure heart🤍
Great job Mark! I use these videos to help motivate me. Hard to explain now, but I hope someday I can do more for individuals who are struggling.
Listening to these stories on this channel is really opening my eyes.
Jovan Kondic Try opening your home or wallet too.
I pray for you and for all the homeless people. That you get food and have a roof over your head. May God Bless You❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing!
Breaks my heart . There is something about this women I am drawn to her spirit. She is a kind soul... Also I'm not sure how her " friend" was just able to take her car money and belongings with no repercussions. what she just called her up and says can you at least pay for my Greyhound and then never speak to her again... Confused
I will pray for her.
This is sadly the reality of the world.. It's a tough and harsh world we live in and homelessness is only one of those harsh realities, i can only imagine how she feels and what it's like being in her shoes, that's why i need to count my blessings and learn to appreciate every one of them.
She had many years to prepare, make friends, have a career in the place with the most opportunities in the world. Very few people are as privileged as that. Someone who gets bad outcomes from a wonderful situation over a long life is suspicious in my book. Some people are troublemakers. Things will NeVER go right for them - that is who they are.
"My husband couldn't pay insurance for me anymore." How many awful health insurance stories are we going to have before we need change?
yea we need medical for everyone - even though I'd be paying through the nose in taxes, I still think it's very important. When you're sick, you need help. There's nothing else that matters.
Insurance isn’t a right, it’s a commodity.
@@LEVELGAZANOW i agree. I already pay close to 50k a year in taxes and i pay for my own insurance, along with my wife and two kids. I also don't do drugs. Came to this country with nothing, my parents learned the language, and put us on our feet. We were homeless during the war, that's it. Once we came here, it was easy to succeed.
I always had insurance UNTIL the NOT great Obama brought in his not affordable Obama care! We can’t afford nearly 1000 a month for me to be added on my husbands insurance.
Amber, thank you for the update. So happy she’s home!
I’m praying for you Michelle!!🙏🏽❤️
THIS MOVIE STARS SHOULD DO A MARATHON TO FOR THE HOMELESS INSTEAD OF THROWING BIG PARTIES SPENDING MILLIONS IN ONE NIGHT
Sergio Lujan - this is a great idea!!!
S L exactly. They give out $400,000 parting gifts at the Oscars yet you have homeless like her on the streets. Coolest shit in the world to the people that deserve it the least.
@Linda Gautney I agree with you 100% all these arrogant rappers showing off their millions on social media, so insensitive fools!
Celebrities are worst sort of people to be met, beside money they have nothing like compassion for ex...
@Linda Gautney. Thank you for reminding me.
Prayers for that lady. Prayers for all the homeless
Amazing Soul and Light thankyou xx
My prayers are with her and everyone out there❤️
May God bless her soul, I'll pray for you m'am!!!!
You got the prayers coming your way. God bless you sweet woman
What a sincere and intelligent women with so much humility. The previous comment makes me glad she is home with loved ones. If only every homeleas pereon could go home xx
Hope she finds happiness!
I have a one bedroom apartment and I love it cause I have a cosy warm roof over my head appreciate what you have..
I prayed that this woman will go back to Indiana and get some help. God blessing be. With her.she needs to be in a home.
Lovely Lady I pray for you,
What a beautiful heart this lady has. She may not know it, but she's blessed in a way.
I hope she’s doing okay today. I hope she stops blaming herself for all that’s happened to her too. No one deserves to be homeless.
When i hear a homeless talk im like wow they are actully smart! Bless all of them🙏
This is such a condescending comment holy shit
You don't seem that smart just by making that comment. It never fails to astonish me how people think poor or homeless people are "stupid" or that it must be entirely their fault. There are plenty of stupid people in management positions and indeed in office.
This great brave woman deserves a good life .🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 God , help this woman. She is a pearl on the street. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ not al place for a pearl !
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
Some friend. She set out to rob this woman. Where is the so called "friend" now?
This woman needs to file a police report concerning her vehicle and belongings. I feel deeply for her. What a fighter she is. I pray her health improves. May God bless her. I pray that she gets the resources she needs to escape her situation. Bless her heart.
@Hineni John3:16
Yes I agree. I thought that her so called "friend." May have figured out a way to trick her into signing the title over. Possibly under the ruse of insuring the car for her. There is definitely some degree of dishonesty involving the "friend" or this lady would not be on the streets. My heart breaks for her. I pray someone will see this and offer her housing immediately, due to her health. I am praying for her.
Victoria Evans it doesn’t add up. Her entire story is about everyone friends and random people “screwing her” left and right.
It seems she’s just another street walker who takes 0 responsibility for their terrible decisions. Like leaving your wealthy husband that pays the bills, along with your “successful” business with no plan to one of the most expensive states in the nation.
It’s stupid, again which is probably why she’s right there. If she tried there are plenty of incentives given by this state. I know homeless loser lazy crack heads sho spend hundreds of dollars on drugs and still have money for hotels and food because they grind for it. She seems like a sympathizer who just wants free rides and blame everyone else.

I believe what she says. Because of the expression in her eyes. She looks like she is telling the truth. Because she is looking directly at the person doing the interview.
When people lie they have a tendency to not make direct eye contact.
She doesn't strike me as a crack smoker. Because I personally know of some people who smoke crack. Yes some people will do as you stated and spend money like that and not pay their bills.
I feel that's just not the case with this woman.
I'm not sure what's up with her. I don't want to judge anyone.
Because Jesus said, Matthew chapter 7 verses 1 and 2. King James Version. KJV.
1. Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2. For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to ye again.
But I honestly hope and pray. She gets housing. Because nobody wants to be homeless. The streets are extremely dangerous. People are not equipped to live outdoors in all kinds of harsh weather.
Please pray for her and all the homeless around the world. That they will get housed.
I have taken in several homeless people.
Some were successful at getting housing.
I also keep clothing for men, women and children. I help everyone I can. Thru the grace of God. I just pray and ask for items I need for the homeless and the items show up. And I give the items to the person. Because Jesus sees my true heart. I thank and praise Jesus for that help.
God Bless You and yours. 🌈
Victoria Evans actually she does have many features of a meth/crack smoker. But I’m not going to make blind assumptions about her habits that aren’t only seen by looks or eyes.

I don't see it. People see things differently. But I can't argue with you. Because I don't know. And can't get her a drug test. I will just pray she gets housing.
People being homeless really get to me. I totally agree with the housing first. Then addressing other problems. Once they get a dependable home base. If the person needs some type of alcohol or substance treatment. Then addressing that issue would be the next step. Because they need to be housed first. I truly hope this woman will get housed.
I'm in Va. I wish I was nearer to her I would gladly take her in.
Over the last several years I have taken in three different women and three men who were using meth. They were all smoking and shooting meth. Two of the women are doing very well. One is married and goes to church regularly. She is nowhere near the person she used to be. And has two young sons that were born after she kicked meth. One is 14 months and the other son is 4 months old.
God is good. The man she married lost his son who was 29 to stomach cancer. The hospice nurses were with him. He died at home. He was buried in the fall of 2018. I had known his mother since she was 13. She died of a heart attack in 2017.
His father truly loves Jesus. I'm so thankful that Jesus gave him two sons. They live about two miles from me. I am very proud of her. It has been four years since I took her in. We are still friends. I went to her house earlier today.
She is my greatest success story.
The second woman had went to Wal-Mart with a friend. The friend got stopped for shop lifting. So they searched both girls. My friend had no stolen merchandise on her. But when her pocketbook was searched she had a gram of meth. So she went to jail for a few months. She has since been released and regained custody of her two daughters. Her daughters were living with me for a while. I was their foster mom. Later their father came and lived at my home with them. They were five and twelve years old. I still miss them. I truly loved those little girls. I see them occasionally. They are in an adjacent town that's thirty miles away. The mother goes to the methadone clinic now.
The third woman is doing fair. She is still struggling with meth. She is also the youngest.
Neither of the three men I took in have been able to shake the habit. Not because they can't. They are just not ready yet.
I thought the one was about off of meth. Until right before Christmas of 2017. He was all excited his son and the wife and two grandsons were coming to visit from Baltimore, Maryland.
I know this is true. The son was calling him on my phone.
This is so horrible. The family was hit by a drunk driver everyone was killed.
Only about twenty miles outside of Baltimore. When he told me that I thought I would pass out. Because in 2016 his other daughter was getting on the interstate in West Va. She used to judge beauty contests. That's where she was on her way home from. It was during a really bad rain storm. A motor home ran over her car from behind as she was still on the ramp to get on the interstate they didn't see her car and she was killed. Thank God she was by herself and her child was at a babysitter. His mother died in 2016. I haven't seen him since the summer of 2018. He just disappeared. I think he went to Baltimore, where his son used to live. I don't know for sure. I was good friends with his father. The father passed in 2015 from emphysema.
The father had been a short order cook in diners in this area. I had known him since 1983.
So I do what I can. I just pray and turn the situation over to Jesus. I don't like to see people in a bind. It breaks my heart.
