Young Homeless Woman Living on the Side of Los Angeles's 101 Freeway

- Johana got pregnant at the young age of 14. After constant fighting with her mom, she went and lived with another couple. The guy tried to pimp her out on the streets as a sex worker. Johanna left. Her son is now with her mom. Johana lives in a tent on the side of the 101 Freeway.
The 101 Hollywood Freeway is the 2nd busiest freeway in Los Angeles. It carries more than 125,000 cars daily. As homelessness grows, It is now common to see tents alongside California freeways and often on overpasses. Homeless encampments are everywhere. There are real people in those tents you see as you drive by. All of them need our help to get off the streets into housing.
Johana and her boyfriend have lived in this area for two years. Johana told me she had been homeless for five years. They survive by recycling. In fact, Johana shared they have started an official recycling nonprofit. I asked her to email me more information.
As soon as Johanna emails me back with her Cashapp or GoFundMe, I will post it here. I have emailed her a few times, but she has not responded. It could be a lot of things. Mostly, survival comes first, and access to the internet can be challenging.

About Invisible People
There is a direct correlation between what the general public perceives about homelessness and how it affects policy change. Most people blame homelessness on the person experiencing it instead of the increasing shortage of affordable housing, lack of employment, childhood trauma, lack of a living wage, or the countless reasons that put a person at risk. This lack of understanding creates a dangerous cycle of misperception that leads to the inability to effectively address the root causes of homelessness.
We imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home. Each day, we work to fight homelessness by giving it a face while educating individuals about the systemic issues that contribute to its existence. Through storytelling, education, news, and activism, we are changing the narrative on homelessness.
This isn’t just talk. Each year, our groundbreaking educational content reaches more than a billion people across the globe. Our real and unfiltered stories of homelessness shatter stereotypes, demand attention and deliver a call-to-action that is being answered by governments, major brands, nonprofit organizations, and everyday citizens just like you.
However, there is more work to be done on the road ahead. Homelessness is undoubtedly one of our biggest societal issues today and will only continue to grow if we don’t take action now.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to educating the public about homelessness through innovative storytelling, news, and advocacy. Since our launch in 2008, Invisible People has become a pioneer and trusted resource for inspiring action and raising awareness in support of advocacy, policy change and thoughtful dialogue around poverty in North America and the United Kingdom.

O kingdom of God. beautiful blue-eyed girl, a woman who is considered holy by my god, like an angel who has excessive intelligence, I want to have children. God's commandment to multiply children and subdue the animals on earth. baby i'm waiting for your arrival,🔰🐱🐱😂
You are wonderful man for helping the homeless . And posting them on your videos these people can have family looking for them and would love to find them.thank you for your help .also thank you for helping Johanna
She is a beautiful bright woman who should never live like that .
If you can get a message to Johanna please tell her that i have a non profit in WV called Street MOMs and we are dealing with the exact same issue. We called the ACLU they came in and their lawyers filed an injuction on our behalf. The supreme court ruled on our behalf which means the state has to post a 2 week notice before disbanding any camp on state property. The ACLU WILL HELP.
Keep us posted
I'm Indonesian, homeless love
The last thing the authorities want is homeless people setting up productive businesses and stable communities. It undermines their authority and makes it harder to criminalise them. So they always focus their efforts of moving on, breaking up and traumatising on those people who are creating something good outside traditional society.
We are nomads. We will never live conventionally again. Not at today’s prices. We have found a cheaper way to survive. I get harassed all the time by young cops, because I am free and they are still slaves to the system. They hate that.
Sooo They basically dont want people who are less fortunate to build themselves up. They dont want them to be on their level to have power or have any capabilities.. they want to keep them at their lowest levels at possible & not progressing …. 😐
@@shineymcshine5026 Not so much that they don't want people to succeed at all, but they don't want people succeeding outside the current system. If you don't own land or owe money to someone who does, and you don't have an address for the government to pin you down to then what influence does the government have over you? Other than direct physical violence. You are an irritant, something that doesn't fit and can't easily be controlled. And they don't want to have to deal with that. They definitely don't want you building something successful outside those levers of control. Cause if you start to thrive outside the current system then other people might start getting the idea that the current system isn't the only way to live. And that will only lead to more irritants being created, which is just the last thing they want. So they use the only means of control they have, the aforementioned physical violence, to make it as unpleasant as possible to be outside the system so that only those with no other choice end up there. It's not some grand conspiracy, there's no grand plan handed down to local city governments and police departments, it's just a result of how the system currently works and how it influences how the people within it think.
@@WhichDoctor1 I agree with much of what you say apart from not calling it out as an agenda. Its called the New World Order or what they call The Great Reset. Global tyranny and authoritarianism. Literally 'Our way or the highway'.
@@amandawright5773 Dude! There's nothing new about it. This is how settled societies have always treated transient people right back through history. You don't need to go looking for conspiracies. This is just people within systems who benefit from those systems looking out for their own self-interests. I understand the impulse to go looking for "the big bad organisation behind it all" because it's much easier to believe that some specific people have made specific decisions and come to an agreement and that's why things are happening the way they are. It's much scarier to open your eyes and start to see that most of the stuff that happens in this world is out of literally anyone's control. The idea that even the most powerful people on the planet have only the most marginal control over anything in the face of socioeconomic forces that span continents and centuries is a daunting one. But failing to accept it means you are fooled into thinking that if the people in control are changed then everything will change. But the people at the top of our current system are just as much a part of the system as your city planner or the police chief in your local neighbourhood. In theory, the super-rich and top politicians could change stuff, but the only reason they got to where they are is because they are the kinds of people who wouldn't and once they are their it's no longer in their own self-interest to try. If you change the people at the top the system will just carry on as usual. It doesn't care who's in charge, it's not conscious, it's just the totality of millions of smaller systems, that are themselves formed by even more local systems, that are formed out of uncountable individual human interactions. It just keeps on rolling on and anyone who is slotted into it will be moulded to fit, kicked out or broken. We have to start changing the system from the ground up and changing what shape it moulds people into. Only then will any real long lasting effects be made
i was in California a month ago and seeing how many homeless people there is all over the state is really heartbreaking she’s so pretty :(
She really is a pretty woman and intelligent as well.
I can see it getting worse with how expensive rent is now and California too
🥰
P loop
she's straight busted fr
I see a lot of good in her. I hope she finds a permanent job and housing.
I hope she has the fortitude to accept a job and housing when it’s presented. But it does not seem so.
@@Renegaderabbit8 I agree... Doesn't seem like she cares to do what it takes. If I was homeless I would be saying please I'll do anything to get my life to a better place. Most likely she can't take her dogs, won't get any therapy and quite possibly turn the place into a squatters pad if she did get a place right now.
I do too. She should just pack up and go to a better place to live and work. When I was young, I was practically homeless and on the street, it wasn't fun at all. not having a whole lot of fun I decided to work for a living and never be homeless. So far so good. I'm not young anymore but I know in my town, Amazon is hiring and they're paying $26 an hour. Yep I would definitely move on.
@@catladyoftroyn.y.8713 I admire you, to literally restart from nothing to something. My health is in serious decline, and can no longer work and am actually homeless myself. It takes great effort to not only make it through the day but to be halfway social as well.
@@Renegaderabbit8 Do you know about the program she was offered? Maybe she knows something about it that you don’t.
You can see the pain in her eyes…. From woman to woman that has been through painful things, I pray for you and wish the best for you!
I also see it! She has a place to go, but she looks without something to orient her soul.
she is high, sadly

It's so difficult to survive as homeless both physically n mentally....hope for their safety n good will😳❤
I always wonder how hard it is to survive on the streets, but people with a positive mindset demonstrate that a positive outlook can change a lot of things. That is pretty much what the girl said. If you can think of it you can do it. Thank for the story, I cherish all these videos with homeless people. It gives me hope
Her smile, I can tell she has hope.
God bless these innocent souls.
He will.If we do something good to her😊
somebody please give this woman a job as an advocate and pay for her education to be a paralegal or lawyer as she is smart, well spoken and would be an asset to helping people.
Are you serious? She's not fit to hold a Mcdonalds job right now. Never confuse manipulative with smart okay..... Smart people aren't living on the streets, this is America there's 1000 ways to not be where she is. She has every excuse in the world to not want to take responsibility.
And it could be she's just afraid to take the next step.... There's no way she's a nonprofit that's a flat out lie. The next step require her to comply with others....At the point I heard she wants no part of a program, has dogs and another able bodied young adult all I see is "Well this is you choosing to be homeless" The world doesn't give out free homes and educations and you need to work to get them.... Even if you sacrifice and get your ass to a welfare office....Adults sacrifice things in life, life is hard and no one is going to hand you everything.
I've seen this entire video 20 years now, and these comments still here have to be propaganda. When we take people in our own home and treat them as a real human being, not less than our own family . It's not our comments that are bad, it's the "1 sided-ness" in & around our spirits like can you give up your work? No, so you're 1 paycheck from being on the streets. If anyone has a falling down it's harder for them to just become fast employed. A good job 1st is a better start than a burger & fries place to sustain / maintain / just pay rent with that type of job, it won't work. We live in a high class run top tier looking down to the lower class, as they aren't "REAL HUMAN BEINGS". I'm proof of that. Just live in my shoes I rent and cannot take 1 person in or I'd do that for 3 people more but people with bigger more roomy homes are scared off so more houses have to be created fast ! Replies are encouraged. Let's start rebuilding little homes quickly someone has the right way but we can all do this in a group if we all use the correct resources. USDA rural housing if you have a car is gov't funded. Even the water is funded as long as it meets requirements. YEs even water, a well, septic, and drainage maybe. As long as it's got to do with water. @@easilyoffended7772
Just standing by the freeway....the noise is unbearable. Can you imagine trying to live there? Just the noise alone, would drive me crazy.
never mind the fumes, let alone hypocritical participants in that madness who judge the encampments, which are a result of failed policy, or even lack of policy..
I live up in San Francisco and there is constant discourse about "the homeless issue". Most people who are not facing it themselves don't realize or don't want to hear that there is no available housing for most of these folks. Period. SRO (single room occupancy) hotels, most of which have horrible living conditions, are often charging $1000-1200 per month up here now. That doesn't include anything but the room and toilet down the hall, often shared by everyone on the floor. Food is not included, or a phone, or toothpaste, tampons, etc. Receiving $377/month in general assistance, or even $700 or $800 a month on SSI/disability, doesn't even pay for an SRO room. There are not the services that people want to think that there is. It is also next to impossible to "get a job" without stable housing, daily meals and a shower, clean clothes, etc.
Most people are homeless because they made a long series of bad decisions then refuse to change those behaviors that keep them down. Money and rent control aren’t the problem. This girl made it very clear. It’s her choice.
@@samiam8641 Problems understanding what Johana (the homeless girl) said???
She said homeless shelters are worse than being homeless.
She did NOT say "I love being homeless"
She did NOT say "I am homeless by choice"
@@joeblow3990 re-listen to the first thing she says.
@@joeblow3990 let’s be clear. No one WANTS to live under a bridge in Seattle, but to get out of that situation you must have help, ACCEPT that help, and be willing to change the behaviors that keep you under that bridge. To often, people choose the bridge over changing the behaviors.
@@samiam8641 then why are you watching???
Just another example that this can happen to ANYONE in the USA. A super smart and resourceful woman who can't mire her way through the housing "resources" we have in place.
Same here. Typical story. Successful business for 25 years. Shit insurance for the self employed meets disability and medical bills. I finally got housing this month after 7 years! I applied for section 8 every month. Living on just over $800 SSI.
My infamous phrase - 'we're all a few paychecks, from being homeless' ! 💀 🇺🇸
God Bless you. I have been there. Disability in America is viewed as "bad" and "slacking". At least thats what folks believe until THEY are the ones hurting and unable to work.
@@paulsuprono7225 yeah, only without the comma :=)
Wow- congratulations that it came through! Crazy that it would take that long. A tiny house could be the replacement for shelters, but NOOOO- the political bs.
Congratulations on getting a place finally ! I swear, this system is designed to discourage and break people, and they give up too soon. The Homeless Industrial Complex has to be exposed,a moneymaker off of suffering homeless people. An overhaul is needed yesterday.
I feel so sorry for this girl, she seems so sweet and nice. It’s just screwed up that some people would do that to her, it’s just messed up and wrong.

Where can they go if the system is so mismanaged? I was amazed at her initiative to do something positive.
Basically biased to profit few in the boom or bust. Few get richer and richer.
May she be blessed and I hope she finds a solution for herself and her family, I hope she gets a break.Prayers sent from NY
This is so sad. She is so intelligent and beautiful. I hope she can get into a house or apartment soon so she can have her son back. Her and her boyfriend need to find employment. Very proud of their accomplishments so far. California is a hard place to survive these days with everything so pricey. I hope she manages to get off the streets
Reduce government spending to feed the entitled on free and fat sure pay cheques. Things will get better by itself, if things dont go through roof just to feed someone else.
California is NOT a good setting to be homeless. the cost of living is out of the roof. getting a job is just a start
..it takes money to get an apartment...
I hope she can leave California...go to some place not as expensive.
@@olehippy13 ideally that sounds great unfortunately affordable rent is horrible everywhere.Something needs to be done about that issue first.Since mid pandemic landlords are requesting way more then I've ever seen to get a place.As well as the outrageous credit check fees which I've heard so many people speak of getting ripped off on.They keep paying for the credit checks then being denied.So landlords are also credit checking many people a day and pocketing quite a bit of money on that alone.Then they want first,last and deposit which is normally the same amount as the rent.Im in the hospitality business in Florida on the gulf and I talk and hear about this at least 4 xs a week with tourist and locals.Ive also seen so many people who have lost everything because of the lockdowns ,no way to work because businesses are closed.combine that with looking for a place to live even if you have the money to move in a place you don't have proof of income they won't rent to you.So it's very difficult times.Kudos to her though because it sounds like their doing their best and spreading the word
When he said, “tell me about it”. I thought she might cry. I hope she’s gotten back to living an abundant life.

God did not promise us a house, he wants our soul saved.. he wants the sanctification process to start through REPENTANCE. This women is in Sin.. she has a boyfriend and is having sex out of marriage.. you will continue to cycle and serve SATAN.. even people that have a home are not exept from the hell FIRE that is to come for SINNERS. As a child of GOD our commission is to call our fellow man to REPENT. = STOP,THINK and TURN from your SIN. I was 10x worse in my SINS then her, I forsaked them and picked up my CROSS and followed JESUS. You can feed , clothe and bring supplies to your fellow man, but what they need more then anything is to meet the real JESUS CHRIST and have a personal RELATIONSHIP with him so he can awaken you to his will and WAYS.. God of the BIBLE is not into wish's , he is into righteousness and holiness.. dont preach a different gospel or it will come back to BITE you. Read your OWN BIBLE and come out from traditions..
1 Corinthians 15:34
King James Version
34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
2 Timothy 3
King James Version
3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Does any one person care enough to help this woman genuinely.

Not all homeless are bad! Way to go girl! Wish you a great future!
Great future?? Kids at mum's.shes taking drugs living with her boyfriend in a homeless camp..you go girl
That's a strange thing to say? Surely very very few homeless are bad. Corporations are bad which don't pay their taxes, instigate attacks on innocent civilians with drones, corruptly lobby politicians to have laws passed which suit only them, etc etc. As I said, very few homeless are bad, to be bad you have to deliberately exploit innocent people. How many homeless do you see doing that. I see plenty of homeless having that done to them. It's really time society stopped stigmatising homeless people who have already been exploited by powerful, greedy and 'bad' so called elites.

@@dustywilson5461 go ahead and look up her "non profit" it doesnt exist. Lets be honest here..she was turned down housing because you need to be willing to be evaluated for 48hrs at a shelter to make sure you wont burn down the appartment and you have basic motor functions to take care of yourself. You also cant go into housing if you have any dogs to tear the place up especially multiple dogs. Dont forget you have to actively participate in mental heath classes and job training. She doesnt want to get better and she is right where she wants to be because she isnt willing to do the bare minimum. Oh also you or your "partner" cant be a s#x offender to get housing fyi.
She has ideas and you can tell she wants to work!! Los Angeles is just so expensive.
God bless this lovely young lady, you can tell she’s a genuine sweet soul. I hope she gets some help and finds happiness off the streets one day, soon.
shelters are nasty, traumatic places. I don’t blame her at all for not wanting to go into one. She needs help, not more trauma and such. Does anyone know any good sponsors in the area for her organization? Some investors could really help her
Shelters are not nasty , it's nasty people who stay there abuse rules , policy, Terrorizing good Homless people clean up nastiness 🏴
I have to agree that for the most part, shelters are bad news, and they DO make money off homeless people as well. The people who run those places are often cold and abusive,with the " take it or leave it" attitude. Politicians also say as much , lol.
@@kaspersway7009 I was verbally abused by a shelter worker multile times and had to leave to avoid it. And when someone physically assaulted me in another shelter, the shelter workers didn’t do anything despite the option of putting me in another oroom away from the agressor (and yes, I checked, the women in the other room would have been happy to have me and there was a bed available). It’s not always the homeless people that are the problem. Sometimes it’s the policies of the shelter or the workers who feel homeless people are beneath them and so treat them like dirt.
You're correct, most shelters are just terrible,and don't lead to housing either ! Political corruption 40 years ago started the homeless crisis as it's known today. I'm old enough to remember when there was no homelessness, because there was an abundance of rentals,and they were cheap. Plus buying a place was so much easier too. Since 1980, both rental and property laws have changed, to work against the consumer. The Powell Memo of 1971, gives the blueprint for this horrible dystopia 10 years before it kicked in. Nothing short of a massive building campaign, to catch up with all the millions who have arrived, or been born, since 1980 can work,as there's such a small amount of housing in ratio to renters and owners. I would have LOVED to be an adult in the 50's and 60's, when moving into adulthood didn't cost an arm and a leg,unlike now.
This is universal that shelters are not preferred by people
You need a physical address in order to have a NON Profit organization. You can't open a non profit without an address and you can't open one with a PO Box. Interviewer needs to educate himself and be real. How about cleaning up. Getting into rehab and start becoming a productive individual to society. "Good people trying to survive" per interviewer. Trying to survive is getting up everyday going to work and being there for your children and family. Enough with this false narrative.
That hope dies on the street along with the dreams of so many californians. I live in Los Angeles and its overwhelming. Your always one day away from a catastrophe of homeless proportions. Lose your job and get behind on that $2800 apartment end up on the street. I’m so afraid of this being my situation. Because I’m an educated employed person just diagnosed with severe glaucoma in my 30s, my job as an editor depends 100% on my ability to see and to function. ON top of that Im the sole person that helps my nephew and mom in her 60s who depends on me to help. I feel like I’m gunna end up in a bad situation in a few weeks maybe days. Many people have like nobody and are hard working . There’s definitely tears running down my face as I see this woman. Hope lives in her eyes and im glad. God bless her and may she always be safe.
She should apply at Amazon warehouse they pay $15 and take anybody
Hard to do when you have no money, are starving and have to wait 2-3 weeks just for your first check.

She has abit of legal knowledge, I hope she has a good life. She has a good heart.
She does seem nice, but clearly has no legal knowledge, based on numerous things she said. I hate to say it, but I have to, as some ruin assistance for others with their "misinformation". I checked the IRS site for her EIN and the existence of her stated non-profit "Recycling Junkies" (along with any possible name variations). There is no such non-profit, or even a pending request - under her name, or anyone else's. Having done extensive humanitarian work over the past almost 20 years, people unfortunately claim non-profit status to get money as "donations", as people think they can then write it off as a tax deduction, as she falsely claimed to have an EIN and 501(c)(3) status. When the "donor" files their tax returns, they end up getting audited for a false, or erroneous, filing. Unfortunately people just need know a couple of buzzwords (like EIN and 501(c)(3)) and to look a gullible person in the eye for this scam to work. I saw it a lot after Hurricane Katrina and numerous other large-scale disasters. (This scheme is as common as people claiming they're veterans, when they're not.)
Feel free to give money if you choose, but it's not a donation to a non-profit without IRS validation, in this case, or any other.
In the end, I believe she should work to take of getting herself sorted out and on solid ground, in order to be in a healthy spot to help others in the long-term, if that's truly her goal. I wish Johana the best.
@@suzannes5888 It wasn't her " private property" that Cal trans kicked her off of. She is just making excuses to not have to contribute to society and get a job. But anyway I do wish her well with her fake non profit. Maybe it's this " mind-set" that is keeping her homeless. Hard work is always the best way not making up stories about fake non profits to get unsuspecting people to give her money. I would rather just give her a donation than be bs'd about some fake non profit. But what the heck its her hustle and it works for her so more power to her.

I can tell by the comments these people have not lost all and been put on the street.I would like to challenge someone to sleep on the street for 24 hours see how you like,scrounge for everything,I mean everything...You should try on the shoe and then criticize.Im sure people will line up for the 24 hour challenge.
@@davidlamb2888 I'm too old to sleep on concrete. If you would have cought me when I was 15 I could do it. But I grew up listend to my elders, got my butt to work and got a house w a roof and heat, water, electricity and a toilet. Sitting on my butt trying to bs people about a non existent non profit is not my gig it will definitely make you go without a home but hey it's your choice I'm here on my warm recliner w my heater and blanket and my trusty pit bull and happy as a lark. Thank you for the challenge though but I pass on it.
I could see her working for a non-profit and helping others besides the one she started herself. Needs to be more alternative housing, made from recyclables or cobb and basic security. Really is something that this country should really seek sustainable solutions. I hope support reaches her soon and puts her in a safer situation. She has a lot to offer the world
It seems that's what the homeless prefer is tent communities. The government should just help make that happen. They waste trillions on bullshit but can't do anything to actually help. If only our government was actually run by we the people so we could actually get shit done.
Her son is with her mom.
She should be with her mom.
She manages to survive on nothing maybe with the help of her mom she can build a life.
@no more You might be right. We don't know what people have been through and what challenges they have in the present. If she is leaving her son with her mom she can't be that bad also she seems quite capable with nothing. All I'm saying is that with a little help from her mom, who is caring for her son currently she could become independent and not be homeless anymore. In general people need to pick the battles they choose to fight. Just my opinion. I really hope she finds her way.
Kinda dum question why isnt she with her mother even temporarily to find work !
That's pretty bad when the situation at her mom's is so bad that she'd rather be homeless. Course I don't know everything. There's always two sides to every situation. I like her. I hope they get off the streets. I don't think world peace would change anyone. I'd wish for people to not be selfish. Self, Self, Self is all that's in this world. Sad.
This video blew me away, my prayers go out to this woman and her community.
She’s too young to be homeless she needs a home in los Angeles she needs to be working and furthering herself
Sweet girl. I hope she gets shelter and a happy future. I was on the streets in LA, I know how grateful she will be.
I have mixed feelings about some of these.
Feel free to share
This woman’s eyes are so sad; like a prisoner of war, she seems to teeter on the edge of despair. So much so that I feel that there is something else-not that homelessness and poverty aren’t ‘enough’-going on here. Some terms she might google are “trauma bonding” and “learned helplessness.”
Don’t troll me: I am homeless, too-I have brain injury and my disability payment is minuscule. My family are affluent, and could easily shelter me. But they don’t like how the TBI changes me-my own mother called me “odd” and called police to make me leave her house-this was at the beginning of COVID. I was coughing up blood.
I’m sorry for your situation and i will pray to God that you will find a way to your new home. I hope your situation gets better soon.
Thanks for your kindness.
What a great little video!! I too have been fortunate to have experienced living without a home or any shelter. I'm grateful because now I have a deep understanding of how difficult it can be. One of the greatest things I can say about the vast majority of people who don't have homes is that they are very good people; charitable and compassionate; these are people who care about the well being of others and they show it always. It's who they are; Good People!!
Beatifull strong girl. Respect! Wish you all the best... ❤
May God continue to bless and secure her with beautiful, new blessings to come. I pray that she gets the permanent shelter she needs and deserves. 🙏💝🌻🌞👏
that's the healthiest looking homeless person I've seen
Very bright, unfortunately she's channeling her energy & knowledge into a dead end. Why doesn't she apply such ambition towards improving her quality of life, get on a bus and settle where it's more affordable. Pursue college courses!!! A great mind is a terrible thing to go to waste!!!
Already am
You have to find what you are good at in life. It took me 45years.You also have to save everything You can cause You to won't be young 4ever
Here's Johana's cashapp : $HoneyyDidIt
She’s a very smart, kind, motivated, compassionate person, and she doesn’t deserve to be out there. I really hope this video reaches the right person to help her get up on her feet. ❤️🌹💎🙏
I totally agree with you. Such an incredible peron. These are the stories I want to see on the news.
Please stop saying this cookie cutter comment. Nobody deserves to be homeless.
No one deserves to be homeless in the richest country on the planet. We can afford to house every person in our country.
Me to I pray she dose Godbless her and all that are homeless she's so lovely to ❤️🙏❤️🙏
@@TyFhoonBoom bad choices put here in this spot.
Who is this woman ???
What's your name???
I'd marry her right away.
But I wouldn't, just to get American citizenship.
I was moved by his STORY.
My desire, before going to a new life, would be to have an experience in Los Angeles.
I LOVE this city very much and have been researching it for more than 10 years.
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
sorry but shes young naive and a dreamer still.....world peace is impossible. sorry
There's nothing wrong wishing for world peace ! Is it possible No ! At least she has a better attitude about it
When the politicians talk About the forgotten middle class, they ignorre this Lady and other in The same situation as her. AND they keep talking About the middle class, over and over again.
Yes, both parties have truly left the middle class,and those aspiring to it, decades ago. They openly embrace dystopia, and enjoy lording it over the citizenry. They talk about middle-class lifestyles, and family issues, while doing nothing, because simply talking and promising " This time we'll do it !". By the time most catch on to the lie, it may be too late. Reading the L.A.Times all week, now the politicians are saying they can't build housing, it's too " expensive" now that the mismanaging of Measure HHH and H were exposed. So they swing back to storing people in shelters indefinitely,as a way to " clear the encampments." Had housing been built during all the time people were pouring into the country,and being born, you wouldn't even HAVE these encampments !! And it's precisely because the good times were so GOOD,they are determined to prevent that Era from returning. I didn't want to believe it. Now that the lie of helplessness has been found out, they will begin corraling people.
Thank you yes.. I always find this and feel it's a continued endorsement to forget about all people who are below that.. it seems like a con classing people.. a few changes and one can not climb a ladder or will fall down a ladder.. circumstances really. And I said this recently online and someone bit the head off me.. he obviously now views himself as middle class as in he climbed the ladder yet he grew up in harder poorer circumstances and felt well there problems are their own making. But people tend to see things through their own narrow lens pertaining to their experience and I couldn't try and explain what I meant to him.. I will never be swayed by narrow mindedness
Rent shouldn’t be so damn high
right, that's why they keep approving private developments, non-stop.. there's even a candidate on city council that they could rally behind, but rather seem to ostracize her in their apparent 'exceptionalism' (nithya is the name, and the one on point platform as far as identifying culprits, not just slogans or 'promises', ime)..
neither should Corvettes and Bentley's shhh
enterprising young lady...hope she can get out...
She is trying to protect and shield her son by having him stay w/ her mom. Who says she needs a treatment program? She is not an addict!
She doesn’t seem to be waiting for world peace. That’s very smart. That will never happen.
Exactly
Sending good vibes to her
May God Bless you Johana and even tho I could only give a few dollars myself I will on the first. I'm disabled after working 33 yrs. I lost everything to Hurricane Harvey in Texas and got no help at all, ended up homeless in the Nevada Desert for a year after that until I could get back to my home state. A long story so won't go into that here. But like Johana said everyone has a story and for the most part people are looked down on when they are on the streets. Well I know for a fact there are a lot of very good, honest people out there that are treated very bad. If people just took the time to get to know them they would see the good in them. It seems people always say I can't afford to help, well let me tell you that's not true. I'm disabled now after working 33 yrs, raised my kids by myself as a single father, had a good life till I lost everything to a Hurricane. Can't afford to live a good life myself now BUT you can be sure that come the first of the month I will send a few dollars to this girl. I always tried to help people when I was better off and even now when I myself could use help but never get it, I still try my best to help where I can. And I believe anyone can help others if they truly want to. It doesn't take money to have a good heart, just like this girl you can see it in her eyes she just wants people to be happy and loved. I hope no one takes offense to anything I said here, I just spoke what I'm feeling after watching this video. So please if everyone seeing this could send Johana or anyone in need just a couple dollars, together we can change the lives of many for the better. Johana had the chance here to ask for help but instead when asked if she had three wishes what would they be. She only asked for others to be happy. That is coming from someone with a heart of gold.
So sad such a beautiful woman she shouldn't be living like that. Her boyfriend definitely needs to step up and get her out that life style .
This will never end in California......too many people earn big bucks "caring for the homeless".... So it's not in their interest to solve this. Grosvenor too interested in his rich friends and political ambitions. This young woman has a warrior heart
SHE IS SO SMART...WHY IS SHE HOMELESS? I CAN SEE HER BEING A BOSS AT A COMPANY HONESTLY...SHE IS VERY SMART . I SEE HER HAVING A BRIGHT FUTURE..
Can see Shes one of those.... If you can't say anything nice don't say anything much, no reviling, no ugliness..... But she's certainly an articulate advocate, and is just looking for justice.... Too bad there's so little of it around..... But she's trying..... She seems a lovely empathetic person
1million subscribers congratulations mark 🥳
She's very smart young and physically strong, that's all it takes to pick up a job, wonder if her and boyfriend are working on there high, drugs. I don't see any problem with her getting a job...
All the money for the homeless in CALI is sucked up by the ridiculous bureaucracy before it gets to the streets. That is incompetence and corruption. $2.75 billion was allocated for homeless housing. Where is it going?
Can we get an update with Johanna.. I wish I could help her other than sending money. Homelessness is a horrible set back..
I've seen so many videos in the past of homeless and non homeless friends trying to help each other, and the government always intervenes. Do people not have the right to mutually associate and help in this country any more?
World peace sounds nice, but I know people that desire control, power and conflict. Both wealthy and poor.
You have no say so because you chose to be homeless. Get help on housing get a job move to an affordable place outside CA
Prayers for and everyone. Gods Blessings. Love from South Africa
Why oh why can’t a family member or friend help this beautiful girl???? Can’t she move to a cheaper state? and start her business there? Where she lives is so expensive..with a boyfriend and herself they would have 2 incomes. She is to beautiful and nice to live like this....☮️☮️❤️❤️
I would love to send you blankets clothing shampoo soap please have her reach out what specific exit she is on. Please.
This woman has a strong spirit!
She does seem like a lovely person, but has her priorities/sense of responsibility is mixed up. It sounds like she is choosing not to get a job to support her child and not to go to a shelter with her son because she doesn't want to be kept inside? What message is she sending to him?
During that entire conversation I never heard even 1 question about what’s keeping her from getting a job so that she no longer has to live on the streets.
A job solves everything,right
In California a job isn’t gonna help unless you make 100k a year. The rent is stupidly expensive.
It is very difficult to get a job when you have no permanent address. She has no access to showers,work clothing ECT.
She clearly has a number of personal issues but getting a job in her situation is next to impossible. Even with a job her life would be extremely challenging.
@@FlansyLinny lots of people in California have jobs , and not making near $100,000 a year . And don’t live under a tarp by the freeway … just sayin
You can tell she's a good person and doesn't deserve to be where she is.
No one deserves to be homeless.
The main problem with shelters is the staff. Staff personal working shelters need a 4 year degree in Psychophysiology. High School educated people are not compassionate enough, because they didn''t have the necessary training. Also shelters are over crowded, because they are paid by city, so much per person housed. Shelter manager and owners of shelters are more interested in making money, than they interested in the well being of their homeless clients.
I can’t help but wonder why she isn’t with her son and mother. I’m sure there is a reason, but as a mother myself, I would not let my daughter live without a roof over her head and a warm bed.
Johanna wishing you find shelter. I wish you safety and peace ☮️. ❤NewJersey ❤
Anyway to find out more on her nonprofit and if she’s selling anything she’s refurbished? Would love to see her items
What a wonderful woman ❤️ I hope she finds a beautiful home ❤️ She deserves only the best ❤️
What a wonderful human! I'd love to be friends with her., We have similar wishes and goals. 💗
I'm a van dweller for four years in February. Sober and clean for 25 years last October 7th.....just started my 59th year on this rock. Life is good for me. I've got a few good friends and my family scattered about but I do stay in touch with them.accordingly I really can't complain about anything. I chose this life for the most part.
Omg i love her, shes gonna make it!!
She honestly a cutie😭🤦🏽♂️🤧🥴
I've seen attitude before from parents to single mother daughters.. I'm not saying that is happening here. But I think parenting courses should be part of education now.. Too many are hurtful and disown kids at 18..often they didn't want them.. and misuse words like respect when they don't know what it means themselves
she got that right by saying " You don't getting any help because you are doing to good "
Shes so open and sweet, I hope she stays away from certain drugs.
There are many MANY people who have, for one reason or the other, have ended up on the streets around the country who aren't on the street because of any kind of mental health problems, alcohol or drug abuse.
Go to a National Park and work! They provide housing, food and employment. You can wash dishes, waitress, cook, maintain the grounds. Anything....
Oh it’s that easy? Must be tremendous competition for a small number of jobs
She can be a live in caregiver if she don’t have a criminal background check
@@davidhelfand1 it's that easy! The USA has 63 National Parks that desperately need seasonal employees. I did it for over 20 years.
@@davidhelfand1 don't be so negative. You sound like the majority of society
You are seeing it in California. It's in Pennsylvania, Chicago, Detroit, St.Louis, and all over the Midwest. And it's below freezing now. Soon it will be in the teens, and below 0 at night. The shelters are full, and with another round of covid coming it will be even worse if they close them again. This young lady is right, I hear a lot that the shelter are loaded with drugs, dates happening all over, and even abuse of many types. The ones that are in programs are actually not wanting to go in because they dont want to be around the drugs. The Midwest and east coast are having murders happen every night. Rapes go unreported. Down in Arizona and Texas they are seriously short on the connecting of people to be informed about the resources that may be available. The system is damaged and in the need of a good over haul. Don't need to reinvent the wheel just work on the issues and smooth out some bumps. But anyway just imagine being out in 6 degree weather with a foot of snow on the ground and 20 mph wind. I personally don't like to go to the store in weather like that and they live in it. I guess all we can do is help if you can, hope / pray if you have the heart, and treat others the way you want to be treated. Don't judge.
Please add ads to all of your videos, so we can help!!!
She is very pretty and seems so sweet. I hope it gets better for her soon.
you like her yellow teeth ?
Such potential!!! I'd donate if she used the funds towards relocating to a more affordable state & had serious intentions of pursuing education & opportunities which are open to her income level/family size. They wasting their valuable time in life out there and the longer you're on the streets, the more damage occurs & less likely to ever progress!!! The "cause" out there is a dead end. I would know, I'm the daughter of a cal tech grad and spent much of life out there going between Van Nuys, and Massachusetts. They need to save up for bus fair, pack up essentials, resettle where there is possible housing or at least more affordable. This is a choice, I can't afford to live in Paradise where a gallon of milk costs twenty dollars! So I live accordingly to more of what I can afford. An there are more affordable place's than one they're choosing. It's called migration, you live where opportunity is and can live normal and work your way toward contributing and as long as they remain in tents by a free way, they aren't going to be respected and little hope is ahead. Your quality of life diiminishes in these circumstances and I don't think fit parents desire this.
☝🏻God☝🏻Bless Her 🙏🏻💞
Well done 👍
How does someone from Australia get this young lady in a accommodation
Life in California seems terrible come to Massachusetts there is plenty of good jobs and they pay good out here McDonald's pays $16 dollars a hour and other jobs too . Minimum wage is $13 a hour here 🙏🏻
I live in Washington state close to Seattle and 20 an hr. Is barely enough to make it. Rent for a 1 bedroom is about 14-1700 a month
Boston seems cool but the McDonald’s here in CA now pay $16 also and other jobs pay 18-20 ,etc housing is still too much and I’m just not so convinced that money stretches much further in Boston. Boston is expensive also.
When you spoke of donations and how to go about it Why did she all of the sudden become silent & brain dead?
How can you be legal smart and aquire the necessary items and certificates then just go completely empty headed? Something is strange here. Why didn't you just get her a P.O. Box? It's like $30 for 6 months. This is just weird.
She brings up a good point, be happy! Unfortunately, many people aren’t happy and most of my friends and family I cut off are not. I’ve been homeless off and in since 2013. My so called friends would rather see me homeless to make themselves feel better about having it all and being unhappy. I’ve kept a home since October 2020 and might be homeless again before long. I’m 42, Bachelors degree and skilled in home remodeling and various trades. I’ve tried applying to all these retail giants within walking distance and haven’t gotten any calls back. I believe it’s easier and more profitable for places like Lowe’s to make staff work harder at the expense of staff and customer, then claim no one wants to work.
My uncle worked in a company whole his life and around 40 he's been getting harassment, well not exactly harassment that he can file a lawsuit, basically small stuff to 'encourage' him to resign. He stayed until to the point that the company let him go even tho he had the right for pension had he stayed few short years... Just another trick of a corporate
cause they dont want you around , if you can file a nonprofit then you can at mc donalds
May God have mercy 🙏🙏💕
I live in a small town in Union, SC of about 5,000 people and if we see anyone homeless we get them nights in hotels and food and try to find a shelter for them.
Does anyone single out the young homeless men and have sympathy for them, or does she get more sympathy because she is reasonably attractive and young, oh yeah and a woman?
