Lanette is a homeless veteran living in her car in Los Angeles

- Lanette is a homeless veteran living in her car in Inglewood. When she got out of the military, Lanette returned to Compton to reconnect with her family. The structure that Lanette learned in the military made it hard for her to adjust to civilian life.
Lanette has PTSD serving in two tours in Iraq. She was a hospital corpsman and believed that Marines couldn't die. Lanette says witnessing the death of Marines does something to a soldier's soul.
She started to smoke Spice to help deal with the PTSD, but eventually, her family asked her to leave because she was using the drug. Her only choice was to live in her car.
Lanette is full of life yet because of PTSD and a drug addiction, she is vulnerable out on the streets. The back window of her car was missing she says as a result of a gang shooting.
Somewhere along the way we failed Lanette. We must be able to provide veterans with the support they need before they end up living in a car or worse.
Angelenos can help end homelessness this March 7th. Vote YES on Measure H to help end homelessness for 45,000 families and individuals across Los Angeles County within the next five years. It will also prevent homelessness for 30,000 families and individuals over the same time period, including women and children, veterans, seniors, foster youth, and survivors of domestic violence. More more information, please visit voteyesonh.com

Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.
Any person who served their Country should always have housing.
FACTS!!!
Take a walk around San Francisco and you will see : not the case.
Instead we offer housing to those who dont want a job and want to spill out 7 babies to gain foodstamps and low income housing at the cost of nothing
FACT
I agree
NEW UPDATE:
I have talked with Lanette’s uncle who was able to connect me to her mother.
After serving our country twice... Lanette is no longer living in her car.
She is living in a home reconnected with her amazing family.
Everyday she is doing better and better!
She’s taking each day as it comes and doing incredibly well!
Someone with such a kind heart and soul... Such a blessing to know that she’s okay.
Thanking you for updating us. Yes, she is a great soul and I wish her all the best and happy days for the rest of her life.
That’s good!
Thank you for posting that follow up, I am a veteran as well and to see and hear about her not having a place to stay brought me to tears. The VA must do something to help veterans when they get out to get established in a place to stay and to find a good job. Most veterans don't know if they VA will help or not.
That is great news. Hope she continues to get better
That's great news!!
She's not even complaining, she's so humble. She deserves a place.
No one should be homeless yet alone a woman with 2 kids this saddens my soul
I doubt you would complain if you were getting 4k a month and you dont have to do anything. I have a friend in exact same military situation and he gets 3700 a month.
@@jedmccullough7959 so y her ass dont get a spot.
@@alejandracfina6431 no clue id guess drugs or alcohol. 90% of people who stay homeless its because of drugs. That a completely made up fact just my opinion.
@@alejandracfina6431 depends on where you live. I make 3,500 a month and my apartments are not renewing my lease in April because I don’t make 3 times the rent anymore since it goes up every year almost $100. And her credit could be trash. Also not having rental history could keep you out of a place. It’s not just about your monthly income.
It’s disgusting the military isn’t taking care of her and her children.
They did take care of her. It is what they do with that care. Do they waste it or do they put it to good use. Hell they pay for your living expensives, what do you do with all that extra money your making that is not going to cost of living or schooling?
She said she's been in and out so clearly she's having stability issues. You can only help people so much
She is going to use her $42 grand toward a home loan down payment.
To SourStrawberries. Military doesn't pay that well. And a lot of the poorer recruits send money to their struggling families, while the wealthier ones can invest, save, start businesses, etc. Also, in my opinion, it's a bit impolite to publicly criticize a complete stranger for not spending their money the way you would have. Finally, you should try living in your car for one month, so you could experience how expensive and dangerous it actually is. Then, unless you are a sociopath, your compassion would likely kick in.
She gets military disability and SSI so what are they not doing to take care of her?
This woman has something beautiful about her, she shines
I agree with you...
The Light of Jesus/ Love
no shit, she is a beautiful soul
I see that too... hi Mary
Mary Fitts Yes she does.
This woman has no hate in her heart. Her light is still shining. Wow! She deserves better.
You are easily manipulated.
Anyone who knows people can tell that she is a person who always thinks she is right.
+ She was trying to lie as well, trying to act like it was her family that made her homeless, when in fact it was the drugs. Lol
Yeah I deffintely feel for her but she needs to tone her ego down a tad she has a dominant personality who I believe would be always be right .. everybody else is wrong type of person.
She raves on about her military life & the extreme training that goes with it but she chose to use drug's & that's a weakness.
Military training promotes strong minds in conjunction with the physical training so she's failed miserably there, and has children she's responsible for.
I think she will find life after the military to instructed for her to manage now.
I wish her the very best in her future hopefully she calms down her personality, people like her just go around in circles never accomplishing their goals.
@@MrNoYouAreNot Yes your right she is a likeable person, she has a personality that would be great I'm small doses but any long term relationship you would find her hard to tolerate you can quite easily pick that she is the type to always be right about things & dominant,
And smoking that 'Spice' that I'm assuming is a term for crack cocaine...ice or some such product, she needs to get off that stuff to be able to achieve her goals in life, Good luck to her I really hope she will succeed.
i sensed her light right away. she has a glow to her.
@Sam Buca don't be a penis head. i agree she seems a bit self centered. i had a coworker who seemed so innocent and sweet but the only way she could have a conversation was if it was about her. she thought that was how people talk. i got to the point of insanity. we all noticed.
She is so absolute beautiful. I hate that she's going through this. She seems like such an amazing person
I wish we could find out more about her!! This was 3yrs ago
I agree. Hope she’s doing well. Let’s keep her in our prayers.
Yup!
I'm brazilian, and I thought exactly like you.
@@o-t-a-v-i-o that's because you're a good person!
NO VETERAN, HONORABLY DISCHARGED &/OR RETIRED, SHOULD EVER HAVE TO FACE HOMELESSNESS...ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH PTSD.
Heard the theories around cornell?
Why does the country u risk ur life for not care for you when you return 😭 so disappointing
They serve the country and as a thank you they end up getting a kick in the behind. #Shameful

Let’s do a “reality” show on this woman instead of the Kardashians

@@shadybaby8248 gofundmeTV
What a shame, she's so nice.
Reality shows are shit. Just help her out and leave her at peace.
Damn shame. She’s a veteran and living in her car. She should have all resources available to her automatically. Hope she’s doing better.
More Americans have to see this. America doesn’t give a shot about their people! They got you brainwashed really well since every idiot believes it’s the greatest nation. Wake the fuck up!
Thewhoknowswhat there is help from private organizations funded by the people here for Veterans. If you mean the government then no shit it doesn’t care. The people? Depends on which group in our massive country.
Crazy that the far right Republicans are willing to send us to die, but unwilling to help you live when you don't.
@@Crack_the_Skye no just people in general are selfish. Ive seen two people who i served with, different political point of views become bestfriends and banters are endless. People who believe one side is destroying our vets is a selfish use to create a divide to the people who i want to protect. However you are free to talk shit to me, i aint HR but i miss talking shit.
That's why I Wudnt fight for this country...they use you ..then forget about u....I love her smile and her positive attitude...
Remarkable woman. You see how tough a marine soldier can be but the brains and PSTD can destroy you easily. She deserves happiness and a calm life.
god bless you thank you for your service thank you i now i have P T S D MI TO IS VERY DIFICULTY
She is very beautiful. I really like this woman's energy and her way of life. My salute to this woman.
Two words that should never be in the same sentence "homeless " and "veteran ".
so " veteran helping a homeless person" shouldn't?
@@memz8952 Ok, smartly pants you got me on that. You know what I mean ..No vetran should be homeless.
@@lavendersunday8712 I'm a vet...can I have a kiss to go along with that housing
No one should be homeless. Period.
Panthers right but your not getting the point war veterans should of had housing the government should of created housing for them or they should get their rent paid by the government cause it’s not fair that we have all this money but you not looking out for the people who fought for this country risking there life
She admitted her addiction. That is a STRONG step towards recovery.
Yep !!
AMEN

@@roxannenoriega5661 synthetic marijuana it litterally can eat your brain matter
I hope this woman gets her life back and most importantly her kids back!
I cannot understand how someone who went to war, served the country, in return the country allows that person to become homeless. It's insane.
It always breaks my heart when people serve this nation just to come home to the streets.
blind patriotism is important for a country that is this terrible. it's a tool used by people in power to blind the masses
Everybody deserve to be off the street or at least the ones that actually want to be better and to do better. Shes no different from anybody else, she really isnt. Most people who join the military arent looking to save America and you. A lot come from broken homes or tired of the same B.S so they join to get away. They dont give a fuck about you. I am just being real i was in the guard 10 years ago, i joined for clout/kiss ass and to get out of regular life and i wanted to go to war, it was an excitement i dreamed about it. Most of the people in Military relate just to that. Being in the military is the biggest ego boost in the world and everyone around you just keeps pumping it up. Nobody is serving shit but themselves, part of living that Military experience means going to war, whether you want to or not. There is no choice but to "serve" your country when you sign up!
You 'Serve Your Country' in exchange for everything the Military provides for your self serving needs; Ego, Benefits, Status. They shouldnt be put first ahead of anyone. Everyone deserves a good life and vets have their own self serving interest, so dont kiss ass too much!
Snootches Bootches I have to say that you're right. I was in the Naval reserves for 7+ years and that was pretty much what I gathered with those who were regulars. I always told some of the men, 'Look, go better yourself with an education or a trade. That way when you get out you have something to fall back on." I have seen far too often those who were honorably discharged being a little lost in terms of direction. One gets caught up in the feel. They have their friends, military culture, oversea bar scenes, etc. Eventually, it all has to come to an end. Some of them who were married came back to empty homes, or very changed marriages. The only way I would do it over again would be as an officer or one of the better disciplines, such as electronics, computer technology, computer security, that can actually land you a job on the outside. Even a military pilot flying the big irons, or helos. Those jobs transfer better than fighter aircraft.
Fuck them
fuck you little coward ass bitch.
She is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. plus she is smart and strong, too. I hope for good things for her. Her smile makes me want to smile.
Chrisdougable I see that too,,too sad such a beautiful person in this situation
you thinking of putting bird in ?
*She wanted to keep talking man and I wanted to keep listening*
Me too!!!!
- I feel you 👍!
Yeah, it's annoying it was so short.
💯
He also kept interrupting her
Her dimples are so cute! I hope she has a home now
Vets who request it should automatically get Section 8 housing on demand and should be part of the GI Bill. I would love my tax dollars to go to vets like her to get her housed.
@ Linnaeus Section 8 vouchers aren't the only problem. The issue is not every landlord, lease office or property owner know about/believe/ partake in the HUD-VASH aspect of Section 8.
(Dept. of Housing Urban Development-Vet Affairs Supportive Housing)
The vouchers often expire and there are no vacancies that accept the program. Ones that *do* also may not pass inspection in order for the veteran to move in. They're back at step one.
Linnaeus best Idea ever. At least it gives us time find a descent job and proper housing with VA loan. They just dismiss us like we don’t even matter after they deem us unfit for duty.
I don't know how any of that stuff works but I never understand why the government can't donate some land in every state and then build housing just for veterans.
This must be why many vets are moving to Africa, buying land and experiencing that life and loving it, be it village, or city, with their monthly benefits they are able to live above standards.
a i Especially if you have a service related injury or disability, they waive the funding fee
She’s beautiful and well spoken. God Bless Her.
Niki Niki May I ask why would she not be well spoken?

That's right. I was just thinking the same thing before reading your comment. She has a really nice voice.
@@electronixTech I agree. A smile that sweet and spirit like hers shouldn't have to suffer homelessness- it's horrible.
I'm crying for her. She served our country to keep us safe and yet we can't keep her afloat
That is because your government is sending 4.9 billion dollars to the boarder for illegals. That money could go a long way to helping our people
@@viperviper5 Thanks I already knew that. Do i agree with it? Fick no
The Govt has their little rules couldn't help me either, like I'm a four time war Vet n was told I made fifty too much so I had to stay with family n save to move out but rent n utilities are so expensive to start. Need between $1200 to $2000 sometimes just to get an aprt. Govt has their stupid waiting list too of 6 months to a yr wait. No win there a person can die by then.
@@viperviper5 they are not sending them the checks you know? Money is spent on border security aka The Wall.
@@noryg955 that's what you get for trusting the government
This woman reminds me so much like my mom. She's so strong, confident, and the fact that she doesn't complain that's saying something. I'm crying internally
She is gorgeous, I hope she is staying safe and I hope she gets help soon! A lot of homeless women get attacked. She is so down to earth, humble and smart. Smh. This is America 🇺🇸
I don't care that she battles addiction, the fact that she fought for our country says enough about her.
Going abroad killing people in their own country. Very American. PTSD for you.
@@bellorusso i really cant understand how americans glorify their army .. Like they fough for the country and bla bla bla .. Like wtf .. Going to a country that is thousands of miles away from america to fight for america .. Oh yeah killing terrorists that were created by them so they can steal these ppl's oil and sell their weapons .. Riiiight .. They were fighing for america ..they are heroos that kill innocent ppl in their countries and when they run and come to them as refugees they dont accept them ...the problem of americans is that they believe anything they tell them in the media they dont try to understand the situation .. They dont see it from a different point of view .. They think that america is the best country in the world .. That they are the peace keepers , they are the choosen people . every one else is either a terrorist or a savage..
She defended our country....all these others here who speak ill of her or her service just typify the moral rot of our society. To hell with you all who show ingratitude towards her.
You sound like an idiot and an unamerican subversive. To hell with you and your opinion.

ah BS. I see a scammer. I see a person that thinks she is owed things just because. I see somebody that never grew up, can not be self sufficient and got too used to the military providing her meals, giving her a bed to sleep on, etc. She is going to be a burden on society forever

PTSD is no joke! 😞 However if she’s going to smoke, she should smoke medical marijuana. It’s cleaner than spice.
Problem is i think the military blocks them, or should i say doesnt help them getting medical marijuana. Ive seen many vets who were on opioids and were going to get kicked off of them or wanted medical canibus instead and the military and their insurance frauds said they dont support that.
So basically they suppprt you if you do opioids and herioine like substances, but if you even think about getting "medical" marijuana than your a bad person cause weed is bad to them.
However, you just dont say shit, get your opioids, buy weed off the street and stash both for when u need it and dont do it unless you have too... Problem with that is they drug test if you get opioids so yeah constant bullshit because of corporate greed really. They just cant have weed dealers making there heroine 💰....

She is definitely a veteran. My father-in-law is a vet and not 1 dish wld be unclean on his kitchen counter😂
Man I hope she got out of compton and maybe tried medical marijuana for her ptsd instead of spice which ruins your organs.
What the hell is spice
My uncle had a cardiac arrest for smoking spice I think or idk if it was due to his weight but he died when his kids were in the living room by themselves and he had 2 newborn babies also

The system failed her . Im heartbroken. I pray she’s doing well ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@ronnie yates bro shutup
I really enjoyed hearing her talk. She seems so sweet and kind even if she smoke spice. She still a human being.
I would think the only reason she smoke spice is there was a time you could go to your local convenience store and get it where is medical marijuana is more expensive and much harder to obtain .
@@deedeejohnson3452 she lives in California you can buy weed legally and if you go inside a dispensary they have weed for everyone’s budget you can get a gram for like 5 bucks

When filming some of these people, you should ask how someone can get in contact with them. This way, we can sponsors them and use our resources to support them. How do we get in contact with this veteran???
right here! she'll read this board now and then :)
That's a huge problem with these videos. I could be 20 miles away and really want to help this young lady, but there is no way to contact her. Why not include her email address or AUTOMATICALLY set up a communications link like an email address for each video?
I'm living in my car too. There is very little realistic assistance. The service agencies where I am in Michigan are overrun with homeless people. It's very, very difficult to do anything other than become invisible to survive.
Scott Hite the internet is a dangerous place , though there is wonderful and kind people like you and I here , there are also evil and cruel people who see her as an easy target and will use that kind of information to their advantage .
@@gd4490 omg never thought of that one...how can such insects even exist.
Scott Hite how can you help her and you living in your car too? I’m just curious
This boys and girls is a beautiful human with a beautiful soul. Hope she is doing well.
She's of that personality. She needs the military. She should've never left.
That was my thoughts....make the military her career.
Some people staying in help them with their ptsd
yeah she should’ve stayed until she retired and gotten more benefits
I'm not sure what you mean but I'm so interested. What do you mean on her personality? Because she likes discipline and structure? I could see that. that makes sense
this woman is magnificent she thinks like a lady. It's good to know we still got women with integrity.
thinks like a lady in what aspect? i’m really hoping this isn’t in reference to her wanting to keep a clean house, cause that would just make you a douchebag 🤷🏻♀️
do what exactly? this woman fought for our country and is now left with no help. she doesn’t “think like a lady”. she IS a beautiful, intelligent, eloquent, hard working woman with the ideas and ability to change her community who deserves a lot more credit than that misogynistic remark 🤷🏻♀️
She's so pretty and smart :( She deserves a damn home america
@MaMa Sans ???
@Susel what
Wow!! I think this is my favorite interview, I wish it didn't stop,10 minutes was way too short. It would've been my honor to have met this woman in person. She is one amazing human being!! And to think, she served our country, not once, but twice, and she's living in her car? I am speechless!! We have to do better for all but especially for our vets. I am so glad to hear she found housing and living her life comfortably. I salute you. Thank you for your service!! 🫡❤🇺🇸
She’s super beautiful ❤️
Your environment will make you or destroy you.
She's able to keep a smile...wow what a strong woman
she is a strong, strong woman. How she doesn't have a home is unbelievable, shame on you America. I share her beliefs.
VETERANS are being treated badly in getting homes and jobs and medical care and incomes that is not enough for us to live on monthly's!
Wonderful woman. Sad to hear her story but a recent update on her better life is great news. God bless her & her children & family.
The military trains these people to live with order and releases them into a chaotic society.
@MrRod who said he didn't have that in his head, straight rude..
Great observation
True that
Do you feel this is similar to olympic athletes who have much structure and discipline but then get caught up with society?
The irony is that those people served for the country and then the country forgot about them. Big thanks to the government.
They didn't forget, they just don't give a fuck.
If she had worked for the feds for 6 more years, she would have a pension.
NO, THE COUNTRY DID NOT FORGET HER, THE GOVERNMENT DID. WE AS PEOPLE CAN STILL HOP IN AND HELP HER OUT. SHE HAS FOUGHT TO DEFEND OUR FREEDOMS. ITS THE LEAST WE CAN DO TO THANK HER AND GIVE BACK TO AID IN HER PLIGHT AND DIFFICULT TIMES.
This is so sad, they fight for us and they aren't treated right and aren't helped like they are deserved. Bless her in her bravery. I hope she's helped. Thank you for your services.
Such. Beauty. Eloquence. Manners. Humbleness. WOW. Truly. A. Beautiful. Lady
I was a homeless vet. I was actually in the reserves while homeless. It happens more often than we think.
Five years as an 0311 myself. Theres help out there, people think theres a magic fucking wand to keep shit together from Uncle Sam.
I think vets should get free medicine/medication for their mental illness because of what they did for us
Yes I agree but Democrats seem to want to give it all to illegal aliens instead of worrying about women and men like her who has honorably served !!!! TRUMP needs to see these type stories
Vets who discharge before retirement do not get healthcare for life
Free everything.....especially room and board.
Adam Walter um 😐 I didn’t retire and I do get Free Healthcare. They are about to allow Veterans to go on base and shop at the PX and Commissary again starting October 1st. We just need to have our white ID cards. They are changing the scanners over now so we could use it.
I personally don’t need it because my husband is a Retired Disabled Veteran so I have a brown ID card but I still have my white ID card as a Disabled Veteran.
@@chaddarbonne9263 oh so you're saying poor good hearted people that just want a stable life for themselves and their children don't deserve to be helped? GTFOH with that shit. People like you give the human race a bad name. I'm not saying they should be prioritized above our troops and veterans but it certainly does not have to be either or. A lot of our funds that can help these people are being needlessly wasted on pointless shit.
Girl your strength gives me strength
Thank you for your service !
What a beautiful n intelligent young woman....i wish she had stayed in the military with structure in her environment.
She was in one of the hardest branches of the military (Marines). She is beautiful and I hope she gets settled soon, so she can rest.
No. she was in the navy, but as a corpsman, they often train with the marines because thats who they tale care of most of the time on depolyments
Lloyd Gittens Back to your magic melanin “science” videos. Talk about nuts lmao 😂
Gorgeous sister on the streets hell know man🤦🏽♂️if I was in America I would take the chance put the sis in a good home.
thank you for your service
thank you for your service. i will pray that the lord takes you in his arms and takes care of all your needs. God bless
Amen
Bryan Bond A real woman!
Love hearing her talk, the only thing is that I feel like he often interrupts or rushes them. Most of these people properly haven’t talked like this for awhile.❤️
I'm guessing he tries to keep the videos short. People don't allways have time for a 3 hour video. He seems to ask, who, where, when, why. Staples of journalism.
@Loraine Batchelor me too she wanted to open up and you're right it felt like he was interviewing her not for her to be heard but to exploit the position shes in
You right...she was probably glad to be able to tell her story
A real smart and lovely lady who just needs some help. I really hope she get her kids back and she is able to find a nice place to live.
I am glad she is doing better. Thank you for your service
I PRAY EVERYTHING WORKS IN HER FAVOUR SHE DESERVES THE BEST
