- Nikki and Scott are homeless on Skid Row. Their feet are blistered from walking the last three days looking for help and trying to stay safe.
After Nikki and Scott lost their house Nikki's mom went into a senior living home. Obviously, they couldn't stay with her and ended up on the streets.
Nikki and Scott called 211, which was no help at all. Most homeless services just give out phone numbers never knowing if the referrals have availability. It's a huge issue and why so many people cannot find or access the help they need.
My heart breaks for these two. I can see the fear and hopelessness on their face. Homelessness is hard and Skid Row is a nightmare! I pray they find the help they need.

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 RUclips, 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.
These two really hurt my heart. You can see the pain in their faces.
May they get the help they need and get on their feet. This could be any one of us.
Yeah, i saw that too. His pain is taking him close to the edge.
Tragic, hope they find a home real soon.
Wow, Mark could you do a follow up on this couple. If possible?
I wish we could have an update on this couple, I hope they are well today! Bless them, I know that look very well, I feel for them! :(
Yes so would I but how would you find them again we just keep walking!
My prayers are for you both.
🙏🙏🙏
Hope this couple stick together & get the help they need to get back on track. No one should have to be homeless, come on America , lets fix it.
When he asked them about the wishes, I really wanted to give them a hug. He wanted to melt into a puddle. I would love to know what became of them.
This should not be happening to people...
lisa smith You should open your home to them and your bank accounts, they deserve them more than you do.
@@happypickle244 shut your mouth bitch
My prayers for all of you!
Aw when the guy wanted to cry, it's like he needed to let that out man.
I would love to send a care package to them. Video from 2012 and hoping they are ok now but if still in need, would like a PO Box to send. His expressions broke my heart at the end. Wishing they are doing well and have a fresh start .
I hope that was just a life hiccup for them and they’re doing much better now
I hope these people are okay now ❤️ wonderful people ❤️
Nice couple hope things are working out better for them these days.
This is so sad. Whatever you do, don’t lose each other. I will pray for you both. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love most of the coment here..more simphaty to those people..God Bless You all..
Sounds horrible. But continue to pray. I'm praying too🙏. Prayer changes things.
I hope you had found some were safe guy's. Good luck x
where are you two now ill keep you in my prayers
God bless you 🙏
My question is. Why was either one not working prior to losing the house? Were they living off the mom?
2012...economy had been hurt. Sounds like they were helping ailing older family til they couldn’t. Always more sides to every story. Suffering is real.
I feel so bad for Nikki and Scott because they lost their house i relly hope they are not homeless now
i can't afford to live in LA, NYC, Seattle, etc. Therefore, I don't live there.
You should try San Francisco I hear it's pretty cheap
@rgtrooper13 Countless people go to California or NYC thinking they're gonna make it big. Doesn't materialize, they become bums. It's unbelievably easy to be middle-class in a basic city if you choose to live within your means and are determined
@@dancalestini9850 I hear it's pretty shitty.
Hope they are okay
To all those who waste, someone could do with a lot less. Let's be grateful, humble and compassionate to all those less fortunate folks across the GLOBE❤️. Prayers for all those for whom a basic life of dignity is still out of reach🙏
God bless this couple in Jesus name
There should be an organization that helps people get back home. California is so expensive and people do not realize a lot of homeless are from out of town thinking they’ll get their big break here. But California is very cut throat... I make 31$ an hour and still are homeless. I’m saving up but I haven’t been able to manage my own place
Tragic!
Ohhh the phone number handout.... cold move.
What's the update on this couple
This is why I'm voting for Yang. With Ubi bringing little dignity to the people.
🙏
(Everyone should be able to have their shelter to find the peace of mind eventually but...)
The cost for the medical treatment would be something that they could not handle as they already have lost their shelters.
There should be the changes in medical care system so that everyone regardless of their bank statement could examined and treated well without being in hardships to pay for that time after time.
Homelessness should be treated like the medical crisis it truly is. It is a pandemic.
😢
It must be difficult to walk away without helping these people after interviewing them..ya know..
Jesus Christ loves you.praying for you. you will get home and jobs soon.antony.
To Nikki &/or Scott; pls put a comment here(even through a friend) Many here incl. me have genuine concern & would like to know where U R @ 2day.
I was homeless for a little over a year. I joined a lawn cutting crew and saved my money finally got off the streets. Now I have 11 crews and am doing fine. Your not going to get off the streets feeling sorry for yourself.
'Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.' ... Henry Ford
Now that is THE TRUTH!
You’re an ass.
D W k
All that in a Year? Lying ass
Why can't society do better.
America is a rich country with such pitiful homeless folks.something is not right somewhere.
I hope they get off the streets.And that they stay focus on.Jesus Christ because he is the only way.Thru any situation.
i feel bad for them they look like good people
Hope they get a job and a place to live
Get in line
LOL
they need rehab. but they need to want rehab first.
but look drugged out of their nuts , agreed
I am entitled to comment after viewing a video both looked rough so what?
Original Pilgrim why do you think they don't have a drug problem? I hope they get help but it seems pretty obvious in the story that something kept them from being able to make it on their own
Anyone would look rough going through this and nowhere to sleep.
Fear is a motivator, but apparently not in this case ~
Don’t you wish there were as many homeless shelters as churches?
No, permanent housing, we need as much permanent housing as there are homeless.
What has happened to this couple
2/10/22: GADS, this is heartbreaking, get them a busticket back to Oregon, why can't social services claim them as displaced and give a ticket back to Oregon.
The sickening Bureaucracy, not there to help to "hinder", a bunch of people just blow'n shit out their mouths at Mtgs getting paid $75,000 per yr.
Patricia Sue Chandler-Lindquist age 63 held HOMELESS in MARYLAND with 2 degrees 10 yrs
Do they have a car?
No.
Please give an update
Half the homeless people on this channel are probably dead by now. So it is hard to follow up.
What you Mean they Take what you do Have and what you don"t Have. I would Like to buy you Coffee Club Card .
Maybe they run out of ppl that they screwed over due to their "habits", bc they look like they can go to work & just making something temporarily & switching shifts bn ea other until they get settled but at least they have each other.
So a good gift for people would be a roll of that stuff called Mole Skin. Works great in my opinion.
Need to buy some walking boots, not trainers. Get away from the city centre, find somewhere rural.
Yes, you're absolutely right.
It's urbanisation which is getting everyone fucked by the system and their governments the world over.
People should move to rural areas, building their own off grid houses, planting organic vegetables, selling them and earning a living.
opollo - Services (meals, showers, referrals/resources) are in the cities. Not to say there's enough help for people!
Again, good plan, but if you don't own a licence to drive or have your own vehicle, going rural isn't an option year round. You could do it with a bike, but only 3 seasons.
@@janinewetzler5037 I didn't mean right out into the sticks, I meant further enough to stay away from the idiots, that is a walkable distance away from a supermarket.
@@janinewetzler5037 find a disused or abandoned building that's away from ppl but close enough to food
When latins go homeless we rather get together with the family then been on the streets, Where is ur family
Yeah, that's why you fuckers jam 100 people into a 1bed/1bath house.
@@theresourcefulsurvivor9609 He has a point. Would it be better to be jammed with people you know than to be on streets with people you don't know, in cold and rain?
if I were to become homeless here in Toronto, my nearest family is my step Mom, in Windsor, Ontario, 4 hours away. We also are estranged and she might put up with me for a month, but that's it. I wouldn't ask. My next closest cousins are in New York State.
Why did these people not get he at least 1 night in hotel
Noses constantly running.....
DRUGS ARE BAD MKAY ~ MR. GARRISON
workaway
The man is high or drunk...or both. Clean up first and stop using, I wish you luck.
Fuck you how the hell do you know judgemental bitch ass
@@marysunshine5587 skid row= drugs
they look high to me
exhaustion
Tweakers.
If you are trying to show that homeless people are not all addicts, shouldn’t have interviewed this couple.
You're so judgmental.
Walking Hustling looking for Dope....He definitely helping her support her Drug Habit....
The husband has got beautiful skin unlike the wife.... Just saying
But husband got some phlegm gunk coming out of his nose.
Because he is the lady.
Why don't they hope for a job?
Their from Oregon.
They are on something
If i was rich id buy them all a nice camper..
Pam Coombs you don't have to be wealthy to help. Start with the kids. When I was a working chef (I'm a stay at home mom now but I try to help in other ways) I volunteered teaching at risk youth how to cook and garden. Do what you're good at. There needs to be more people like you 💖
i see meth
Original Pilgrim I see you commenting a lot and I understand to a certain extent but some people are just making observations and are not trying to be mean. Drug addicts or not they deserve help. Did you know this couple? Just wondering
Go to church is my suggestion, pray to God, He will help you if you are honest.
Stop addiction if you have one, read the Holy Bible for answers.
Look for work.
Best to you guys !
