      @@mrs.sweetea8074 Thank you for your comment and for sharing your heart. I completely understand what it means to caregive for a parent-it’s a deep responsibility and act of love. At the same time, I try to remain mindful and respectful of family dynamics, as we all have different relationships and circumstances within our biological families.
      My focus is to be present with people like Latrice and remind them that they are a part of the beloved community, where they are seen, valued, and not forgotten. Everyone’s journey is different, and sometimes the complexities of life can lead to situations that are hard to fully understand from the outside. Thank you for your prayers for her-they mean so much.

    Yes, go fund would be nice for her to get an apartment, but she has to be able to obtain it. She needs something that goes by her income.

    Good program, but there’s more to this story. She sounds very intelligent. Why she won’t go to school. Many jobs for displaced women. I’m an educated nurse, mba. There are many resources available and she can do better than living in her car for seven years. More to this story.

      Thank you for watching and engaging with this story. While I appreciate your thoughts, I respectfully want to push back on some of thoughts made here. It’s important to remember that we are not the experts in someone else’s journey or challenges. Latrice is dealing with significant medical issues, including congestive heart failure. Earlier today, she shared with us that she had to drain four gallons of fluid-something that her condition forces her to manage constantly.
      Given her health struggles, suggesting options like going back to school or pursuing certain jobs might not align with her current reality. While resources exist, they are not always accessible or practical for everyone, especially when severe health conditions are involved.
      We remain committed to standing with Latrice and others like her during their most vulnerable moments, offering support and compassion as they navigate their circumstances. Thank you again for watching and for caring enough to engage in this conversation.

    I met a 80 year old blk woman living in her car with her dog.. her battery had died.. she had been n the same spot 4 a week... I offered her $$ but she refused.. I had 2 do something...so I went 2 my storage unit and gave her my jackery so she could charge her phone.. and gave her 2 usb fans she could use.. we exchanged numbers... The next day I offered her 2 use my car insurance for a tow or jump..n she refused and used AAA... I wondered why she didn't call AAA before.. does she have dementia?? I texted and tried 2 chat but she never got back 2 me.. although I spoke 2 her briefly and she said the jackery was a blessing.. I think about her and hope she's okay... She told me her daughter put her out of her apartment.. and her daughter is a drug addict.. so sad.. 80 yrs old..😢

    Ssi or ssdi is not enough to pay high rent payments whether you are mental or not

    • @imterencelester
      @imterencelester  2 дня назад

      @@tatanishagatewood2426 You’re absolutely right-SSI or SSDI often falls far short of covering high rent payments, leaving many individuals in incredibly difficult situations. I know you’re responding to another comment here, and I completely agree that this is an important point to highlight. This is especially concerning given the rising cost of housing and the lack of affordable options available. It’s a systemic issue that highlights the urgent need for more equitable housing policies and programs to ensure that everyone, regardless of their income or circumstances, has access to stable and safe housing. Thank you for shedding light on this important reality.

      Thank you for your comment and for keeping Latrice in your prayers. It’s important to remember that homelessness is a complex issue, and even with access to resources like SSDI, many people still face significant barriers to stable housing. For Latrice, living out of her car isn’t a choice-it’s the result of circumstances compounded by her medical condition and the difficulty of navigating systems that can be slow and overwhelming.
      Regarding mental health, it’s worth considering that intense conditions like homelessness can sometimes lead to or worsen mental health challenges. It’s not always about whether someone has mental health issues to begin with but how difficult circumstances can take a toll on anyone.
      Thank you again for your prayers and kind words. They mean so much as Latrice continues to navigate her journey. Compassion and understanding make a huge difference.

      I believe that all people are beloved and deserve dignity, regardless of their circumstances. My focus is always on serving those directly in front of me, ensuring they feel seen and supported.
      To clarify, we do not organize GoFundMe campaigns, but through our organization, we have actively worked to help people in tangible ways. Our mission is rooted in compassion and creating long-term solutions to systemic challenges that impact people experiencing homelessness. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
