Homeless mom and her two daughters live in a van near Seattle

  • I spent the day with a homeless family here in Seattle, yet it felt like spending the day with a normal family. The big difference was at the end of the day Carey and her daughter Maggie drove their van to a park to sleep for the night.
    I first met Carey Fuller through I post she wrote on change.org "What It's Like To Be A Homeless Mother" [bit.ly/lloSgo]. She blogged anonymously so I had to beg the editor to connect us. From that point on I have been so very impressed by Carey. I have done everything I can to help her and will continue to do so.
    Yesterday, I met Carey and her daughter at a yard sale they were holding. On weekends she tries to make a little money by selling either old stuff she had in storage or new stuff she finds. Carey is very resourceful. When she needed money to repair the van they live in she published a Kindle version of a book she wrote on Amazon.com [Writings From The Driver's Side amzn.to/m4F5Wh].
    Carey wants to start chronicling homeless life on video. I was bringing her cameras, but they were stolen at my first stop when the car was broken into. I am all about empowering homeless people so that did not stop me. I just took Carey to Best Buy and let her pick out a camera that would fit her needs.
    In the afternoon Maggie, Carey's youngest daughter (oldest daughter was at camp) wanted to go swimming. We drove to a local park and Maggy jumped right in to playing in the sand with other kids. No one would ever notice this family lived in a van, unless we told them.
    This is the first time I have spent the day with a homeless family. As a case manager in Los Angeles, I spend lots of hours with families experiencing homelessness, but never like this. I had mixed emotions all day. Part of me was overjoyed seeing Carey and her daughter as a normal family, and part of me was dreading what I know was going to happen next.

    About Invisible People:
    Since its launch in November 2008, Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vlog (video blog) gets up close and personal with veterans, mothers, children, layoff victims and others who have been forced onto the streets by a variety of circumstances. Each week, they’re on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as RUclips, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.
    Invisible People goes beyond the rhetoric, statistics, political debates, and limitations of social services to examine poverty in America via a medium that audiences of all ages can understand, and can’t ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nation’s most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath - its founder - and brings into focus the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions face each day. One story at a time, videos posted on InvisiblePeople.tv shatter the stereotypes of America’s homeless, force shifts in perception and deliver a call to action that is being answered by national brands, nonprofit organizations and everyday citizens now committed to opening their eyes and their hearts to those too often forgotten.
    Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.

      By who, we the tax payers? No one pays my bills, I put in my big girl panties and pay my bills. I was homeless once, lived in a tent in the woods, with kiddos. Then I figured out it was up to me. Got a job cleaning at hotels, took a second job as a cashier at a gas station. You do what you gotta do.

      Respectfully, I don't believe that but I'd hope that. She has a twitter account and though she's no longer homeless she still struggles greatly to stay in her home and paying her bills with the money she now earns. Also I think she's been laid off or something. You can't necessairily expect huge jumps from someone who's been homeless with her kids for that long. I can imagine her now grown kids are going to need alot of help getting that structure they never had growing up if they want to make it in this life. That homelessness WILL have a negative impact on her kids.

I live my kids and it made us value ourselves, learning and memories more than stuff.

    The system is broke. Been fighting a losing battle for years. Living in your car is no fun and dangerous. I couldn't imagine having to worry about myself and family. When your by yourself it's easier but with kids I couldn't imagine. Prayers to you.

    I've been in a homeless shelter with my 6 month old daughter for about four months now and this video really hit home. It just inspires me to keep going and to pray for other people in this country and in the world facing this epidemic. Thanks for this vid may God bless you and the viewers that take the time to watch the video.

    This question is for you the owner of this RUclips video site, can you or do you not try to present these videos and interviews to the mayor's and local homeless agencies and political leaders about our situations, then just recording and posting them on RUclips, seriously my man, try getting together some non-profit organization and new government funding from your point of view, because you have all this evidence of what is going on Sir right in your camera, use it and don't just be getting subscribers bro, do something with these videos besides just posting them.....

      Hey, fyi. Maybe your new to this channel or just preoccupied with worldly aspirations. SSD Housing is an 8yr waiting list. Most pubic housing are resourced to those who are in DV case's they take priority. There are temporary place's to go that have curfews and cost money daily or you have to contribute part of your day to help out some places can be more frightening than living in a van. But i guess untill it happens to you then you'll true never understand, praying for God to send you some trials. Amen.

      I don't think the issue is that no one knows what's going on. They know but don't care. To go even further it may be a part of their vision to have it be this way.
