Homeless Teenagers Living On LA's Skid Row | Union Rescue Mission

- We hope you will take a moment to watch the story of Michelle - the eldest of 5 children who lives with her mom and siblings at Union Rescue Mission.
Skid Row is no place for women and children. While it's safe inside the walls of the Mission, it's dangerous outside. That is why we work so hard to get them out as quickly as possible to safe places like Hope Gardens or our Project Restart locations.
As we near the end of our fiscal year, we hope you will consider giving a gift to help children like Michelle.

She is so right. You really can't stereotype homelessness.
Or mental illness
Esther Faruk yes I agree. Many people think that being homeless is for those who do drugs or chose a bad course in life. It can happen to anyone.
Having 5 kids with no means of supporting them is one quick ticket to vagrancy.
True
i know Im randomly asking but does someone know a method to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my account password. I appreciate any help you can give me!
Id love to know how Michelle and her family are. It's been 9 years and I hope they have been happy years for them.
Me too.
Same
Me three
Probably married and mother of at least 3, and 4th on its way. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
😂
Tbh.....very few of us stop to think about the homeless.
Everyone is too busy trying not to be homeless.
fredie rusica I feel you. Especially when you’ve been able to get yourself out of homelessness less than a year ago and people look at you like you’re privileged even though you used to live at a train station and it could happen again any day lol. Life is weird
True, But that is the thing I'm busy going to work or a sidejob to make extra money to not be homeless. If I stopped and worried about everyone else's problems and didn't take care of my own first then I wouldn't be able to try and maybe help someone else a little bit.
When you've worn 'their shoes' . . . you know exactly what is being talked about. Homelessness is no fun, no joy, NO JOKE ! 'Been there, done that !' 😱
Ever more the reason to think about the homeless because you know how easily you can end up being one. It's not people don't think it's they don't want to even entertain that thought as it then makes it too real a possibility. So instead they would rather be in denial then face the harsh reality.
@@parkinglotnomad5144 when you are white folks think you are privileged that's why
Most of us are just a paycheck away from being homeless ourselves
Taylor T yes
In the 1970s , a wave of young liberals. Bill Clinton, a DEMOCRAT, among them, destroyed the populist Democratic Party they had inherited from the New Dealers of the 1930s. The contours of this ideological fight were complex, but the gist was: Before the 70s, the Democrats were suspicious of big business. They used anti-monopoly policies to fight oligarchy and financial manipulation. Creating competition in open markets, breaking up concentrations of private power, and protecting labor and farmer rights were understood as the essence of ensuring that our commercial society was democratic and protected from big money. The American Dream was destroyed gradually by the Democrats who also destroyed American Education by the creation of a leftist-liberal Federal Department Of Education.

Just listen to Dave Ramsey
Taylor T, so true man. I been grinding so hard. But I gotta get my big break. It sucks so bad to be consistently worried about monthly pay.
I used to be homeless. I slept in the park in a sleeping bag. Then i started going to school and i got a job, car and found a small place to live. God has been good to me.
you are this god you're referring to.
God bless you, and I wish you nothing but more abundance on your journey ❤🙏🏾
You can tell she's a smart girl she will go places
smart girls would save money instead of buying all of that makeup
@@thatrandomnomby366 I worked at that mission. A lot of makeup gets donated
@@thatrandomnomby366 your a jerk she is a teenager
I hope she can get a diploma or GED and into a college full scholarship. Those streets are way too rough for a girl like her.
God help her and hers.
this girl is a sweetheart
Laura Lopez - Toro
It's 2019, I hope she's off the streets now.
We called it the mission when I volunteered there and she is right it is horrifying, sad, and a disappointment that we have this in the greatest country in the world. I served 2 tours of combat ( Iraq, Afghanistan) and at no time there did I feel this level of sorrow. God bless you and I wish you well. Just as a note I was homeless for 3 years and only God brought me out of it.
Her education, natural intelligence and her ability to attribute meaning to her circumstances will get her far, I see a lot of potential in this young girl. God bless her
" natural intelligence", I would say ethnicity "white skin" in America will give her a HUGE chance IF she makes correct decisions. Black and brown skinned, people especially those whose first language is not english have much less of an opportunity to improve on quality of life. If people keep voting Republican and corporate Democrat life will get much worse, but I digress.
Maybe one day Americans will wake up and realize it's the rich against the poor. Corporations do not love Humanity. tRump was born rich and hates the poor, Joe Biden is a puppet bought and paid for. also hates the poor. Oh there I go again...shutting down...5, 4, 3, 2, 1... .
Ditto.
As someone who has been homeless briefly, it is a very humbling experience!
I agree. I have been there too!
Yes it is I'm homeless right now
Breaks my heart. She seems like such an intelligent, sweet kid. Hope she and her family are in a better situation now.
No child should ever have to go through this ....appalling world we I’ve in 😢
I would love to see an update on her and her family.
Their are people working full time job in this city and cannot afford the rent. and they are as good as anyone else and sometimes even better. stand up and help them. before it is too late. the next one might be you.
Whereas i get completely that basic math dictates a person earning $15×50 hours a week cant afford a $500-600per week rent and live in the teeny amount left over.
Why don't they move!? Or share? Or find a sublet?
I live and hour from where I'd like and where the jobs are because i don't have $800 a week for rent. I may have to travel but i have a roof.
@@teza5876 you did not you are a jew who does not have a basic education and is teaching and gwtting better salary.
@@parvanehshowrai7376 aethiest actually.
I'm so happy to have moved out of California. Even with roomates, we struggled financially to keep a roof over our heads. Worked many hours and for what? For a trailer that cost nearly 3k a month. Fuck that shitty state.
May God bless this wonderful child and her family. And all the familys out on the streets.
What a beautiful young lady God bless her and her family
Well It's been a few years and I hope Michelle found her way
I met Michelle when I was around 13 or 14 volunteering at a shelter downtown. She struck me as one of the most incredible teenagers I've ever met. Was extremely articulate. I lost contact with her after that period. I'd thought about her over the years and wondered how she was. I graduated HS in 2011. This is what her life was like then. I hope to get in contact her again someday and hope she is well.
Ean Cinelli how is that a fact?
Bless you 💜☮✝
Did you get in touch with her? How is she doing?
I was homeless before. Fortunately California has great programs that help families. I forgot the name of the shelter place in Norwalk Ca, located inside the premises of a mental hospital. It was a great experience and really enjoyed the staff. I was there back in 1996 to 1997. I thank God that I haven't gone through that situation as an adult and I am able to provide for my family. I hope Michelle and her siblings are doing well.
I ended up homeless a little over a month ago, it didn't take me long to come to LA after reading how much help there is for the homeless there.
@@jesseyoung3155 Not true LA has the most homeless in all of the United states these programs mainly focus on families or mothers with children if your a man or woman without kids then you have to tough it out on the streets
Not anymore
harmony momentofbeing ...wow, is it the Trump effect ⁉️

Please give an up date on this. God bless all of them. I so wish I was rich so I could help some or as many of these people as I could.

Debra Tyson che topino❤
BOT Shark Yeah, you're right. I know that now. It's still sad though.
+Debra Tyson
My ancestors were rich and live here peaceful in americas, with Europeans (Your ancestors) arrive here...everything change, they made our homeland a *corporation* made their own laws and one religion we all have do live by.
You want to talk about "rich" and "helping people" Your people didn't help anybody, how many people did you help here and national globe? (us) army company has taken resources from other countries for years, celebrities and U.S. Red cross has been scamming all nations, they didn't build a damn thing, but only six houses...people here are afraid because they are gonna loose their homes and end up in thoroughfare or get incarcerated for nothing because they didn't paid taxes, some rich people today are unable just like everybody else in this soceity these houses is not even thiers...they don't own it smh, really...you like to help others...Maybe system itself or police will ask you a permit for that, we are living in life and death by your OWN government.People always said this is "America dream" but reality is nothing but *American Nightmare*
Debra Tyson well if u cant help all of them then help make a difference in at least 1 persons life.
when my house burned down we were homeless for one year , we were living in a hotel for that time and free breakfast every morning but the thing it wasnt stability i couldnt call it home, i didnt have my own bed , it was horrible but when we got our own apartment it was home such a good feeling
Man that's not homeless please living on the streets is homeless let anyone of these people have a hotel for a yr I'd hate to see what you would be crying about if you was on the streets
@@jkdunk20001988 OH SHUT UP STUPID!!!!!!!! SUCK IT "DONNIE".
@@4226able he's right that's not homeless when u see people out on the street with a blanket and a sleeping bag begging for food a hotel is a pleasure to have over the streets it can't be compared.
same thing happened to me!
It's been years since this was uploaded and like many, I too wonder how she's doing, but the determination in her voice and her eyes when saying someday she will help others leads me to believe she's well, and that gives me some peace.
I can't wait to start helping. My sister and I passed through skid row today and I can't even describe the horror
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise. I am Jack's Broken Heart.
Michelle is an inspiration. Most of these comments should be deleted by the authors after they realize how cold hearted they are.
I PRAY TOO OUR GOD ALMIGHTY that these people all get the help they deserve
albert lopez
Instead of praying to nonexistent invisible people why don’t you support a political change in your country in which many people suffer these conditions while others have colossal amounts of money that they will never be able to spend not only in their life but for generations?
Jamie Dimon for example own mansions for a total of 237 rooms and 183 toilets FFS and probably has shitted in 8 or 9 of them at most.
Tax those people say 2 or 5% they wont even notice, not a dent will be made in their luxurious lifestyle, and help these people (an estimation of 80 billion USD could easily be collected this way, again without the super-rich even feeling it slightly...most probably feeling even better too).
She was incredibly mature at 17. I hope that she and her family are doing better now. By now all of the kids are adults. I hope there is some type of update given
Weed smell is in the air all over California. Especially on the road.
Yeah all over Edinburgh to..
I thought that was hilarious when he said that lol
Mic Powers sad
@@GALAXIE262 hilarious ? it was illegal back when this was filmed
Homelessness is no joke....As she mentioned, it can happen so fast it'll make your head spin...one minute your on top of the world...next moment your homeless with no help & no friends.
Omg. 😔 My heart is broken for them. I, was homeless for 3 years. They are in my prayers. That girl is going to make it thru. What an AWESOME kid!!!
if you don't believe in prayer does not mean to discourage others from praying for those in need. Prayer does a lot. if you don't know what to say? just be quite
this video dates back to 2011. Would love to know how shes doing now!
Beautiful young lady, I hope the best for you and your family. Stay together, stay strong, God has got you girl!
brave young lady
She didn't say what's keeping her mother from renting a regular apartment.
they escaped abusive man
@@MCConfuz that's not a good excuse
@@nikkiemerson1145 uh, ok I guess you would know.
@@MCConfuz sure as Hell do
As a matter fact I've been in the situation without help from anyone. I've been hospitalized twice and I got myself and my kids out off it I didn't sit around and keep having kids with someone who beat the shit out of me. There are ways out and plenty of help but you can't sit around and make excuses and sit around and expect someone to throw money into your lap. 6 months she has children that are old enough to stay home with the others no reason she shouldn't be working as hard as need be. It might not be ideal but sitting in a homeless shelter for months isn't either. These children are the ones who are paying for her bad decisions.
I listen to amazing stories from sid row on the way to work and I love the program because it is filled with hope. I am going to become a part of this work by supporting the mission's work. Thanks URM
Homeslessness, is sadly present in every part of this world 😔
can you give an update on this? what is she up to these days
Whats the point of the story if you don't identify the circumstance of the family's homelessness? Home do you solve problems when you don't identify how they got there.
@@realitynow4342 the point of the video was to solicit donations.
@@JayneTenn YEP, IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY AND PROOF????, THE TENT PEOPLE DONT HAVE ANY MONEY, THAT IS WHY THESE SHELTERS DONT WANT THEM THERE, DAMN THAT FUCKING CATHOLIC CHURCH, ALL THAT MONEY AND THE FUCKERS WONT HELP, DAMN THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@realitynow4342 they did say why they were homeless....the mother and the kids left their stable home to escape an abusive relationship. Pay attention.....

God Bless this baby girl and her family, God Bless all of the homeless!! My children and I was once in those shoes, and God got us out. I pray that she and her family get the help they need and deserve.
inspiring. good luck girl.
You sure she's only 17? Coz her outlook is mind-blowing 🤯 wow! So mature.
Giirrll, life does that to you💔
I fight homelessness everyday putting up with a boss and a supervisor it’s the safer bet
Wow... I am speechless. How precious is this young lady. How WONDERFUL that Union Rescue Mission is helping out. I love this young ladies outlook. SHE IS SOOOO PRECIOUS... not spoiled like many young ladies who have everything. Our attitute REALLY IS IMPORTANT. SHE HAS A BEAUUUUTIFULL Atitude. I DO BELIEVE one day she will help out the mission one day. I can see her working there and being such a BLESSING TO OTHERS as she was blessed by them. AND SHE IS A BELIEVER! HALLELUIA!
This woman.."yes woman" has a good heart,saying that she wants to come back to help...bless her...mr bails is one man who really really seems like he cares about all humans..good decent man.bless him also
Why are you homeless? You are living in Reaganomics 40 years down the road. It's a nightmare.
I wish they would move to smaller towns they are cheaper and better communities, why la !?
rachael johnson There are no jobs for them or programs like this to help them.
Resources usually
The problem with society is, no matter what good you did growing up, if you do not make enough money, all that good character, good acts, good education etc is a waste. Which is a shame...
Conversely people that do not do good but make money are being rewarded with a high life and high recognition.
This makes the good people that are homeless or poor think of following the bad people since their actions and good morals only bring them suffering. Which is also another shame..
We make a new one every month. Look under Union Rescue Mission Stories From Skid Row. This is our most watched ever so it won’t be taken down. Thanks for watching!
Perhaps a more positive name for this place? "New Normal"? "The great reset"?
The city should have a few hundred half way houses for late teens through age 25 or27 to help them get jobs and finish their education . God requires us all to. Protect and help the young. and also parents with children Not skid row......idiots!....not skid row....not ever! And don't break up families and shove kids into the "system" if they can be cared for by parents by giving them housing and kindly loving help .....like human beings should. Children's services and social workers should not be viewed as threats to families but as ones who can help get into housing and get food and clothing and get legal help if the parents have debt or are ex-cons or are going through divorce and need counseling or reconciliation or help with a car or access to daycare or medical needs Every homeless person needs to get into a little warm safe place to live and have access to kind loving help with food and job finding and rehab when needed. Homeless people don't need to be beat up on to shape up and fly straight.....they are already down to being homeless and hungry and harsh treatment by police or governmental agencies does no good wbatsoever. They need help and love and resources or they will die out there.
Where are you now, Michelle?
I’m here in valley village studying Scientology
Michelle, it’s Kyle from the Alexandria/ portofino.... miss you, hope you’re ok
It's sad. I'm hoping the government will do more to help the Homeless
Solid Gold Shows......2 years later and homelessness is becoming a crime again. God is watching.....
What a blessing this young lady is. You can find the light of The Divine in the most unsuspecting places.
what cause homelessness??? too much laws and regulations!!!
You have more children that you can afford all the time used to welfare ! You see the rich people having a lot kids? Where is the father ? send them to life with them why the mother had to take all ?
Doris C look deeper!!! See is it Law and Regulation??? What cause, who cause? Conflict? Some one had to judge, or intervene, to divide the family, look at family court!!! Check out MGTOW on youtube
The problem of homeless is every where on this planet... This is gonna shock a lot of people and i'm gonna get blasted but.. Homeless is a backlash of capitalism... Try to convice me otherwise, please...
I for one am going by there and finding out how i can help out!!! Thanks for sharing this.
Well, did you go? Please tell me you've done something. We've got a burgeoning homeless problem in New Zealand now, particularly in Christchurch after the 10,000+ quakes and bad government neo liberal bullshit resulted in people having nowhere to go. 7,000 and counting. Five years ago, maybe less than 100 males. Now 7000 living rough. We never had beggars, and now we do. I do what I can, particularly in the winter. School kids living in cars and all that implies. It's seriously fucked up.
BOT Shark serious or are you trolling?
He doesnt have to provide the PROOF..Lenny will do it...It is in his HEART to HELP.God bless.
With all respect the fact that u don't believe in prayer, does't mean that nobody should pray. There's no "magic man in the sky who'll 'always keep you safe'" obviously you don't read the Bible n I don't expect you do. If your life is going well the way you are, more power to you. As for me, and others who do believe in the power of prayer, we work hard and pray for guidance. I agree that all should take action, nevertheless I strongly believe prayer is our guidance to follow a straight path.
Sometimes, God allows us to go through circumstances we may not like. Many times these circumstances are allowed by God to show us or teach us something we would never otherwise learn if we hadn't gone through it. Sometimes He allows us to go through things so we can better relate to others who may be going through the same thing. Whatever the reason, you can trust that God allowed it...for a reason. Instead of dwelling on your "unfortunate" circumstances, begin looking for opportunities or lessons God wants you to learn. The journey was not meant to be easy, but if you know Christ, the end result will be eternally rewarding.
+Elijah What utter and complete crap, I can't even be bothered to try and put up an intelligent response to your religious bullshit its shameful the shit religious people come out with to try and explain why their make believe god....yes with a little g, stands by and watches the enormous human suffering that goes on in the world. Mans worst invention by far was religion!!!!
Leginspeg burton
If it wasn't for God, you would already be dead. Might wanna rethink that one
Is that the best you could come up with at least make an effort to save my poor lost soul, and the correct grammar is I might want to rethink that one. Don't be lazy in your speech or you will never get to write a fake book about creation :)
Leginspeg burton
I have no time for fools. Cya
Your comment was an inspiration to me. Btw, I am not homeless.......
I was homeless in Los Angeles when I came from Mexico I slept in the street many times In people helped me been homeless it's hard
God bless these people
Man, too many kids.
Juan Santos and, no father.
@Lora Samario I'm sure there is more than one father...how does any half way responsible person allow their children to get to this point?
@Lora Samario yeah, I agree s**t happens in life. But the first time, oops! I forgot to take the pill. The second time, oops! The condom broke. The third time, oops! You didn't pull out fast enough. See where I am going with this? Edit: these are things that are in our control. I could only afford one child, and that is what I had......
GOD IS THE ONLY ONE PERFECT ! DON'T PLAY GOD ! SATAN IS THE KING OF LIES ! BUT GOD OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST ALLOWS U TURNS TO HIS SALVATION AND INTO HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN ! AMEN AND AMEN ! HELL WAS CREATED FOR SATAN AND HIS DEMONS SERVANTS !
esechucote52 i love satan
I was a victim of living in this exact same shelter from the age of 12 to 15 years old I am now 27 and I have 4 kids and try my hardest not to be back with my own children it was hell, dealing with crackheads trying to fight you just because you’re walking by.
"...you realize your life isn't in your own hands." You're a smart girl Michelle! This may turn into something beautiful one day for you. You're already wiser than most 17 year olds.
Such a pure soul. Would help sooo many families if I was wealthy.
sad when kids are involved :(
So sad to see so many people living on the streets of America...
This is 2021 it shouldn't be happening.
Stay safe everyone xxx
🦘🤜🇭🇲🇺🇲🤛🦘
Oh what a beautiful young lady and so intelligent. Broke my heart.
I agree with her that you cannot stereotype homelessness. So many people lump ALL homeless people in one group, but you cannot since every person's situation is different!
I live here in California and this is terrible
I just don't get this shit, why in this so called great country children this young are living like this, it's a fucking disgrace, at SEVENTEEN she's the eldest and it's like she has to be the father to her younger siblings, from the bottom of my HEART I really do hope that her family gets out of that way of life.....
Free shelter, food, clothing, education, public assistance & companionship/family. It's not as bad as you think
Richard Richardson 😒😒😒. What an ignorant thing to say. YES IT IS !!! After leaving my husband when my daughter first witnessed his abuse we went to places like these around Toronto (I had always owned a home and had great jobs but that all stops when u r in these situations) and 4 years later my daughter still suffers with horrible nightmares and can’t be left at home for any amount of time she’s 14 (you are surrounded by people with bad mental illness etc)
So until u walk in others shoes. U don’t have a clue.
I'm Sure It Is. Just Not Outside.
Turn to Yeshua/Jesus, repent of sin. Make no excuses, give your life to him. Turn back to God, America.
I love her and I wish her and her family all of God’s blessings 🌷
Her faith in God is wonderful, and Gods faith in her is enormous.
Beautiful homeless girl.
I’m sorry to say but I often notice how people in poverty have 3+ children. I’m not blaming them but I do think if you want such a large family, you have to be very intentional about it and be absolutely certain you can provide for them… no matter what. You have to own a house and have life insurance as a bare minimum. Otherwise you’re putting yourself and your innocent offspring in danger of becoming homeless if something goes wrong.
Thank you, Carrie Lynn. Bless you!
"you can't stereotype homelessness" that is what that young lady said. She is right. I had to flee from a neighbor who was selling drugs right next door & kept stalking me. That led me to move. Move right into a shelter. No one helped me nor protected me. I was so scared. But I wasn't going to go to jail for associating with the likes of that former neighbor. Anyone can become homeless.
So.. because your neighbor sold drug and was looking at you, you moved and became homeless ? What a story ... !
He will take care of you . ❤️
Where is pelosi and all the Dem leaders in California. They need help.stop fucking with Trump.Do Your Job
Where is she now?
Ean Cinelli stfu
In college, I hope!!!!!
R L she's not, but your mom is
California really needs to do something about this bullshit. I blame the high cost of living for the main reason there is so many homeless families in L.A.
I hope she is doing OK
I think prayer is the most powerful force in the planet. It saved me!! People praying for me got me clean. But yes, donating one's time and money also helps. This is what I am going to school for, to be involved in rescues like this one.
Prayers didn't make you clean .. You did !
try living in mexico or any other country in latin america, at least the us has those kinds of programs to help the homeless. in mexico they dont.
budfr I would say Latin America has More homeless people that's for sure. I feel bad for this girl because me myself along with my mom and sisters were like this girl when I was little and I'm we made our way through right now thanks to rescue mission and those government programs but in Mexico, it's not easy at all. I've been there and seen it. It's worst for sure
Maybe you should stop selling drugs and supporting the dealers and you might have some programs for the children lol.
But of course that never occurs to any mexican ever it's just better to blame other countries such as the usa because it's cheap and convenient instead of fixing our own country.
Jorge Rodrigo magaña zarrabal Maybe that is our problem. maybe we need to quit funding these programs that do nothing more then encourage dependence.
+Jorge Rodrigo magaña zarrabal
But did American red cross help nations?...
It is a shame that the most powerful, and greedy btw, country on Earth cannot guarantee their citizens a decent way of life. As a Swiss friend told me once, the US might be the richest country, but it is the “3rd world of the 1st world”. Probably you don’t know this, but many countries in Latina America are pioneers in social programs helping people to improve their lives. And there’s one thing for sure: in Mexico if you have a job is unlikely to end up in the street. You won’t have a ‘fancy’ life but you won’t end up in the streets. For instance, Cuba has no homeless people and countries like Uruguay or Chile have very little. Why these people don’t take the jobs immigrants are willing to perform? Some might ask why Latin Americans still, in fewer numbers, going to the US? Wages, the wages allowing them to send money to their families. Instead of complaining, these poor folks should be on the fields of wealthy California!
Renting your house.. is the 1st mistake people do.. do not rent to live in your house.. Buy the damn house.. but not by credit.. Credit is equal with rent.. 1 missed payment and you lose everything..Is hard to put the money up front for a house.. but it is the best bet if you do not want to end up on the streets.
You wonder why god doesn't do anything to help the homeless people, he wonders why you don't do anything.. Take action. This is our world.
Sorry girl, but the way I see it, they are just making a Karma payment. You do things to yourself, without anyone's helping hand.
well jesus and bible arent real. end of the story. but hope and fantasy might be essential to live on..
Bro God is real he wants us to
Help eachother
God does not care for any of you, God cares for his own grandiose ego.
God would rather let you suffer and starve then to spite his own ego.
You call it free will? I call it an excuse.
Look at the story of Job, God sacrificed jobs family friends food everything just to spite his own ego.
God does not care about you, your better having a stronger sense of self responsibility then believing in god or a god.
Im sure all those children getting struck by mortars in war were all part of gods plan to im sure there in a better place now lmao
Satan is the ruler of this world
old mom should have kept her legs closed!!! not had so many kids!!!
God Bless you!
We would have loved to have 5 kids, but all we could afford was 1.......
The government should be made to live there until they fix this
You cant put all the blame on others people have to take responsibility for their selves.
This made me tear up......I wish all of youh who are homeless find your way to a safe, secure and most peaceful home in Jesus name ...
There was never a mention of how the family ended up on skid row or what type of life they had prior to the Rescue Mission. That would be interesting to know.
yes there was. she said she escaped an injurious situation. probably an abusive parent
That did not answer the questions.
She very clearly said that she and her family had to flee an abusive environment. Common sense tells you that means domestic violence.
She did mention escaping an dangerous situation which leads me to believe it was probably her father since the mother is with her and her siblings.
Father In Heaven Help This Family With A Good Place To Live Get Them To A Safe Place So They Can Live There Life In Peace In Jesus Name Amen I Pray.
God bless all of you. God love you all.
What an amazing and well spoken young lady!
While we are here, let us share the Love of the Spirit of God. The Son of God will pray to the Father, that we may have the Spirit of the Father, for a Teacher, and Comforter, Forever in the Bible book of John, chapter 14, verse 26... John chapters 14, through 17, Teach us How to have the Spirit of Truth live within us... Peace
Yea your clips need to be longer....... you can't stir up interested and than shut it off!
This young lady is so bright, she could be president one day!
What a gal. I pray the best for them all.
FFS this story is 8 years old. Take it off RUclips, and make one for 2019
This is not a news channel.
I was 29 years old the first time I stayed in a shelter and it was the worst experience I can possibly imagine. I cant imagine how crushing it would be if it had happened when I was a teenager
I was out on my own by 17.....i loved every minute learning the ropes of my life.....in my 60's now. It has been an adventure!!🕊
