    All the people judging the daughter. She has 4 children and apparently the mother had a heroine addiction for 30 years and a boyfriend. Would you have both in your house? I would never let my mother in the street if she was clean and it was safe to do so, but not around my children. Likely the daughter wasn't raised by her mother. Sometimes we have to sit in our consequences to grow and change. Yolanda seems to be changing finally. May God continue to keep her.

    It was so hard being homeless in Chicago. My family turned their backs on me and put me down. They wouldn't let me live with them.Talked about behind my back. I lost so much weigh. I almost died three times living on the street. I went from state to state.Churches to get food clothing toiletries. I went to shelters, and it was so dangerous being there. I finally got an apartment and now working on getting a home. It was God who carried me through my whole journey. I forever L♥️ ve my Father for helping me make it through the storm. I thank him daily. I 🙏 every morning before opening my eye and getting out of bed.

      When America experienced lower poverty rates than any other advanced democracy, local governments designated specific areas known as "Settlers' Landings." These areas were intended for people across the country who intentionally left their previous homes behind in search of improved living standards. They allowed them to exchange ideas and share their creativity to progress in resettling. This initiative aimed to facilitate the exchange of ideas and promote creativity to advance society.
      In contrast, a sign of the times is that civic authorities now employ "Social Identity Deconstruction," which many people perceive as a form of isolation and humiliation. The California author Jack London captured the stark contrast between the "Homeless" and the American Settler tactic in his observation: "Class supremacy can rest only on class degradation," as expressed in his work, "The People of the Abyss."

    US govt just approved 91 Billion for Ukraine and Isreal but we can not put tax paying citizens into housing?
    Edited to add quote
    Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
    This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.[1][5]

      @ctgal9698 of course she has. Etheir when she owned a home when she was younger and more successful. If she didnt own a home, she paid sales tax her entire life. My point is we can pay for wars, give big business tax breaks ( trick down does not work) and give others counties money but NOT help a us citizen. Instead of giving Ukraine or Isreal money, start a New Deal like Rosevelt for infrastructure. Stop sending money aboard and focus on United States.

      U.S.A. GOVERNMENT and President Joseph Biden and Vice President Karmala Harris should watched this video 📹 and they should give money 💰 to our own US citizens who some of them are homeless. Stopped ✋️ giving away our taxpayers dollars 💸 to help out foreign countries and restarted taking care of the homeless Americans citizens in this country. Because the U.S.A has already pasted a bill into law last week to give a $ 100 .00 Billion Dollars 💸 💰 to give financial aid to Israel 🇮🇱 , Ukraine 🇺🇦, and Taiwan 🇹🇼 . Shouldn't that money stay within the United States of America and help out our own citizens 🤔? Think about this folks 🤔.

I have a daughter who married a guy in the Jehovah’s Witness cult and he and the Jehovah’s Witness cult doesn’t allow her to speak to me or her family members because we are not Jehovah’s witnesses they brainwashed her. So you don’t know what happens in people’s families. Even good mothers are harmed by who their adult children marry or get involved with. I don’t understand that because I would never let anyone come between me or my mother. But it’s happening to many parents who were good parents.

    I don’t ever look down on anyone because most people these days are one paycheck, medical condition, divorce away from homelessness. When I lived in shelters 20 years ago, I met a CPS teacher who was living in the shelter with me! She fell down some stairs at the brown line stop and broke her leg and missed work and then had to pay alimony in a divorce that rendered her bankrupt. She lost her home then her teaching job. Not all homeless people have mental health or addiction issues.

      I agree the church should help, but at the same time yall be fussing about paying tithes and offering. Being nonprofit they rely on tithes, offerings & donations. How do you expect the church to do much if the congregants of said church don't feel they need to give to the church? I'm talking about giving to a real Bible teaching church that has a history doing for the community, not a building of people being swindled & led by a pulpit pimp.

      I knew a lady who belonged to a church and was struggling to find a job. This was a Christian lady who was a member and tither. When she fell on hard times, the church didn't offer her a dime in return. Many churches operate that way. They won't be there in your time of need. Joel Osteen once turned people away from his million dollar church during a flood in Houston. I never watched nor supported his ministry again.

      I don't think it is so much judging, I mean no one has said anything in the comments that I've see like "that's what she gets" but there seems to be a lot left unsaid. How could she afford 30 years of drugs? Who was caring for her children? Where did she work? Was she on public assistance? I don't know how much drugs cost but I would think over 30 years worth would add up.

    Ms. Yolanda is suffering from a broken heart. It is not for a person, per se. It is for herself and what she lost. I think she should take a chance and move in with her daughter if she doesn't want to go into the shelter. Stay there, get the disability check started, and use it as income to qualify for a place. The shelter will help you do that too, but this going back and forth is going to continue to tire her out. She doesn't want to leave the tent because she doesn't want to leave that man, and she doesn't want to go into a shelter because she can't be together with that man. They both need to go into their shelters, get on a program that is usually for 6 months and sometimes for 18 months if you have a drug dependency, and take it from there. I know about these things because I used to be homeless. I just cried watching this video because I can sense her heart is hurting.

      It's terrible. So many people in this country have plenty of wealth, but they are greedy, indifferent, selfish, and have no love or compassion for the downtrodden! The Church has failed too in regards to helping homeless people!

    This is happening to all kinds of good people around this country. The United States has ruined it's economy. It basically forgot about the middleclass. Printing money has caused inflation and unaffordable living. It's about to get worse. The country is $34 trillion in debt. Government funded programs will start to disappear. Today our government has voted to send another $90 billion to Ukraine. Democrats and Republicans have both failed us.
    Good luck and God bless.

      Family members will turn their back on you and want to see you suffer. My parents left their house and land to all 8 of their children and what I went to the lawyer office I told him I didn't want the house or land but to have life time estate -which means I can't be put out by them. So they have tried to attack
      my mental and physical health. But my Jr said, not so. Jesus Christ said not so. Nothing but jealousy and envy and he doesn't like that. I look better and feel better than any of them and I have been sick of and on from 8 years old I am now 64 and they have been telling the lie that I was not supposed to live to see 9 yrs old.

    I worked as a Social Service Case worker for years and homelessness was always a cycle in the lives of people with Mental Health and Drug Abuse issues.
    She speaks well but it is very clear to me that she needs
    MH/Drug abuse support and a Social worker that will help her navigate getting SSI and permanent housing...but it is her unshakable FAITH that will open the door of her new apartment...and let all of God's people say Amen!🙏❤️
