MsSassyMT : YES!!!! I was homeless for, 2yrs.......Re-established myself through government _assistence.....I tear_up every now and then.....& Fuck' A' NIGGA'......ALL' SHADEZ!!!*🕷️🕷️🕷️🐞🐞🐞🌴🌵🌴🌵🌴🌷🌷🌷:)*
She never mentioned friends, exes, parents, relatives. What hurts more is to see such a sweet woman all alone on the streets talking about her life and trying to get on and on and on and it's been years since the video was shot, hope she's doing great now
Yes she has very active mind. But homelessness don't discriminate. You can tell shes older too some places discriminate I know from personal experiences. Employers choose best looking young folks that have degree typically, unless you know someone ya kno
Man. It made me sad when she was talking about the cardboard box. I don’t always have money, but I make it a daily goal to look at a homeless person in the eyes and acknowledge them when I see them
She is so likeable. She is a person that I would let stay in my house because I really see the ambition she has in life. She really takes care of herself and she seems to really want to succeed in life.
I had an IQ of over 140 until I was in a head on and ended up in a coma. And unable to compute... being bright doesn't protect you from being homeless. I was 3 times that I can remember... as I lost my memory completely for 4 months. My brain would go from 0 to 60 I was wako, the welfare lady at the back to work program wrote my DVR worker and told him that I was unemployable! I was pissed. I wanted to go back to school. They didn't think I could. But I told my worker I can speak English and Spanish fluently. I can interpret. So they allowed me to take the test! I passed the first time. Just barely on consecutive as it requires memory. So I got a job! 4 hours a day which wiped me out. Point is I was homeless but eventually got back on my feet. That's me in the picture after the brain damage! Can't tell by looking at folks. I went from 120k a yr to homeless.
Such a lovely soul and an interesting human being. May God protect her always. May she get the perfect job for her resources and experience she have. May all persons who connect to her be able to help her in all she needs
She has a really nice personality! I can only imagine what kind of mental situation she's put through everyday. a lot of beautiful people out there in the streets, thank you for this project. I really like most of the videos.
The wealthiest 1% pay 90% of the personal income taxes - more than their share. Every one in this country who is entitled can get welfare, food stamps, medicaid and a government paid phone. The person on welfare lives better than the middle class in most countries. These woman made life style choices that she is living with. Liberal laws in this country prevent the government from putting mentally incompetent people in homes.
@Shabazzrgt007 Bazz Not true. Buffet does not pay less in income taxes that his secretary. That's a misquote. This year Buffet gave away $5 billion in charitable contributions. He. has pledged to give away 99% of his wealth.
@mark hart keep telling yourself that, I hope it helps! Not trying to be unkind, but your attitude is so head in sand and contemporary off the hook. Try walking a mile in her shoes, oh but you cant because she's dead!
This women Shelly has an amazing positive nature, I feel sad she's been homeless for so long. She deserves better, sure hope she finds a place to settle down & enjoy what she likes.
She is quite lovely. Open and articulate. Genuine. I liked her wish for a job. Many of the people interviewed don’t wish for a job. All the best to her.
Which is not to say she deserves anything bad or to be on the streets. I really am pleased by this channel - it's so so important to give voice to the individual experiences of the homeless.
@yandrsupreme okay and what to you do in a small rural town? Your lucky to find a drinking buddy. Most decent places with jobs a 1 bedroom will cost close to 700 for heat included in Wisconsin where I live, which is not bad considering that 2 people will qualify if they are employed full time making $10 per hour . They can even have savings, considering in 1 week they will earn enough to pay the rent and small electric bill. This give them 3 full weeks where they can budget for their other expenses and savings. Compare to California at 1000 for a studio is crazy!!!!. So you need to make about $1000 gross per week to qualify. You would think that roommates would have to be the norm in order to qualify , even on a studio and hope you have a good roommate or partner that does their share and respects boundries. When did it become such a struggle for the average person to live in the USA? I cant say you can blame landlords . They are subject to mortgage payment, huge property taxes , heat and electric, and water bill, not to mention maintenance and dealing with some possibly bad tenants. Wow . I am self employed but remember struggling to save money and make ends meet when I was younger but only because I did not have my head right. Here in the midwest if you have a half way decent job you can make rent and live pretty well I think . If you want to live in the city of Chicago that is a different story . That is turning into a California as far as affordability. . If I has one wish I would wish for every one to have a family that loves and cares for them. Then I don't think any one would be homeless or struggling.. I have watched a lot if interviews and it seems like most who are homeless come from a bad , abusive household. Even the drug addicts >>> most are self medicating from the abuse they went through.. . I hope they find their strength because life is hard . You must accept that first and appreciate what God gave you first and go from there , Amen. ..
It is sad that such prejudice truly exists against older females and it's increasingly difficult to find work from a certain age when a female! But we need to be creative and unite to change this! I try already through my videos and films to change the image of mature women in our society Did you think about volunteering abroad? There are some international organizations helping with such exchanges where you can find free board for a few hours of work a day... Much love, sister lucy
no hassle you're a fool! Capitalism has provided the highest standard of living you more period than the world has EVER seen before! You fucking idiot! Your commie/ socialist hero's are/ were mass murderers! How despicable you are!
She is homeless/jobless because she has some intellectual issues going on. Which is not to say that I don't feel for her. But nowadays, the PC movement jumps on you if you call a spade a spade.
Found this channel just recently. Made me think and learn a lot. Thanks a lot. I donated some money to contribute and thank you. Shelly is a great example. She is clever and clear but somehow things did not evolve the way they should, wether it is external causes (economy crash in 2008), personal tragedies that were to tough to compensate or just personal traits as we are all not perfect and people make mistakes. I really hope that she found a way back on her feet. I was really impressed by Marc's thoughts about her years of pain. I assume that surviving on the streets not only creates tremendous pain but also keeps you so busy in surviving that you hardly have the ressources to get out of the situation.
Thank you Invisible People for uploading these videos, your doing great bringing these lovely people to everyone's attention. Chosen one is another great channel bringing attention to the epidemic of the homeless.
There should be social workers who coached the homeless to quickstart their professional careers (whatever they are) so they could be out of the streets feeling like they made it by themselves. I think good self-esteem is key to not ending up in the streets again.
I really like this woman. Great attitude! I wonder how she is doing today? I noticed that this video was filmed in 2015. Sure hope she is doing so much better, more importantly that she has a place to call home!
I think if she is homeless go some where else other then.Weird.Crazy.Hollywood. Maybe she is in.Hollywood because she wants to be a actress.Or hoping to be one.Because she used the camera like she was on a theater stage.She's got the looks even without makeup.I wish you the best shelly.Your a trooper.
Omg....she's so delusional as to her living situation. She has not one friend or family member to help her. She's babbling on and on about nonsensical stuff just to have a conversation with another human being.
Life does not have to be this hard.... something isn’t right. Burned bridges? Where is her family? She is off the rails and I hope she gets the help she needs. God bless her. God keep her!
US Christianity is opposite of the real kind. In the US it's believed that if you're poor it's because you're sinful and God is punishing you. But if you're rich it means you're less sinful and that God is rewarding you. So you have things like tons of homeless people in the streets and things like the Crystal Cathedral. I'm not a Christian but the only Christianity I consider real is Catholicism. They are doing things right. The present Pope is a great human being, and who's out there in the streets helping the poor? The Catholics. St. Vincent de Paul Society, the local Catholic churches. Yeah other groups are out there too but if the other denominations helped as much as the Catholics did, we'd have no homelessness in the US.
I grew up Catholic and don't really practice a religion now, but you're right. Despite the sex abuse and helping HIV spread by insisting condoms are "immoral", they keep nuns around just to help and do good things around the planet. Everyone has their good and bad points, but that's something the Catholic Church does right, imo.
+Runs with a Fox Why do they need to be wealthy. I'm sure you have the money to buy nonsense you don't need. Why don't you give it to the poor instead?
Become a nomad! It is a hugely popular trend. Go and work in parks. There are seasonal jobs. You have to get out of Cali. I'm not an Amazon promoter, but they do hire seasonally. I think they might provide housing also. God bless you🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰
Survival is a very powerful experience to go through. NOT scary but actually liberating. Your new values will make you INVINCIBLE. You begin to understand the "fake life" that so many people think is NORMAL (it is actually bullshit). So liberating but very challenging. Not for the "faint of heart". You absolutely need to very strong center.
I wish that there is an office from NGO or government sector given them a place or office table to apply jobs and allow the address for them to be contacted.
I am 48 - have a good job - I don't have any debt except a car payment. I have a simple 1 bedroom condo and I thank god every day for it. I do worry about the future when I am in my senior years if I ever lost my job. Homelessness is never far away from bad circumstances.

She seems like an interesting person. She seems very resourceful. I hope she gets off the streets soon.

Lovely and intelligent woman. Homelessness can really happen to anyone.
Yeah if you don't manage your money and your life good. There's a ton of reasons why people become homeless.
MrDodger3222 ..u say the right..!
to u to sooner then u think
+MrDodger3222 u still can become homeless

Her three wishes are so realistic and fair. I hope her life has improved since then. 🌼🍀
Best of luck to you, Shelly.
It's incredible someone this sharp could be homeless.

She is a very smart lady. Just look at her eyes at the very end. God bless her 😀
It, s just hard to imargine that she, s been homeless for 6 yrs
And, yet still maintain good attitude
And. Wonderful personalities
May god bless her🙏
I appreciate the interview but I wish you angled the camera down when she was talking about her clothes. It looked like she wanted to show it...
highly intelligent woman all around this country have fallen between the cracks, she needs help! My heart really breaks for this woman...

What a pretty woman, nice personality i hope she is much better off these day. Praying 🙏 for her.
Man. It made me sad when she was talking about the cardboard box. I don’t always have money, but I make it a daily goal to look at a homeless person in the eyes and acknowledge them when I see them
God bless you Shelly
Bless her heart : ) Beautiful soul.
She is so likeable. She is a person that I would let stay in my house because I really see the ambition she has in life. She really takes care of herself and she seems to really want to succeed in life.
What a beautiful woman.

I had an IQ of over 140 until I was in a head on and ended up in a coma. And unable to compute... being bright doesn't protect you from being homeless.

I agree. Ageism is still one of those forms of discrimination that hasn't been dealt with yet in our society. Death to capitalism.

Female ageism in the professional workforce is definitely a problem. One has to b creative and be ready to switch jobs.
She is homeless/jobless because she has some intellectual issues going on. Which is not to say that I don't feel for her. But nowadays, the PC movement jumps on you if you call a spade a spade.

There should be social workers who coached the homeless to quickstart their professional careers (whatever they are) so they could be out of the streets feeling like they made it by themselves. I think good self-esteem is key to not ending up in the streets again.
or something that actually helps in reality, like having family to rely on in hard times.

The lady at 3:59 dropped a paper. Hope it wasn't important
Stays in high cost area where even people with good jobs are struggling. Leave before you loose everything .
She is bright and optimistic. Fashionable, too.
Survival is a very powerful experience to go through. NOT scary but actually liberating. Your new values will make you INVINCIBLE. You begin to understand the "fake life" that so many people think is NORMAL (it is actually bullshit). So liberating but very challenging. Not for the "faint of heart". You absolutely need to very strong center.
I hope she gets sorted out it's not fair on her, she is clever and together.☘🇮🇪
I wish her luck and hope she is doing better now.
Anyone that is willing to work should not be homeless. This is heart breaking.
A very brave, intelligent and creative woman!
A follow up on this woman would be enlightening. I wonder if she is even in CA any longer?
I wish that there is an office from NGO or government sector given them a place or office table to apply jobs and allow the address for them to be contacted.

I don't understand how this lady is jobless/homeless. She seems very experienced and educated. I know jobs are tough to find right now but 6years?
You are acting like that is unheard of? Get real!
One of the most striking things about these videos is how well spoken many of the people are.

Once you are on the street people view you as a street person regardless of your talents abilities personality and ambitions.
Is there an update what is she doing now?
Perhaps she should look for a live in housekeeping position.
I feel bad for her. She seems like a very genuine hard worker.

when she applies for jobs what address does she put on the application?
