Only 32 adults out of 20000 in her area who were not dead, on drugs, or in jail. That’s wild.
Not even 1%
And they say everybody has the chance to become something
I'd really like to see that study. That seems practically unimaginable. How Does a community survive if only 32 people from an age range grow to adulthood?

"Youll be alright if you do everything by the book" is the lie people who use an entirely other book tell YOU to keep you from getting where they are.
I wish more people would be open about how luck played a key role in their success. Not everything is within your power. Sometimes things just happen and you can use a situation to your advantage. We simply don't control everything. I work hard but some of the things I have I definitely got from luck, not from dedication.
Hey, ive seen a few of your replies and i just had to let you know your words are very wise!
@@RacingPepethis is what I always say.
the saddest part is this could happen to any of us entirely by chance
That is SO true!
Perhaps some, but I’ve seen far more people fall into poverty simple because of bad decisions as well. Goes both ways.
No it can't, some people are in lucky circumstances.

What a great day to not live in America
I was a homeless child. I was homeless because my mom was. When you’re in a situation like that, it’s hard to drink the kool-aid that “anyone can be successful if they just work hard enough” and “if you’re homeless you deserve to be.” Nobody deserves to be homeless. Ever. We need systematic change, but the system is literally designed to have some people losers so others can win. It doesn’t have to be this way, but for some reason it is. When you see a homeless person, don’t ask yourself how they got there. Ask yourself who profits from it being this way.
The "system" is designed like that now, but it was not always.
Yes some people deserve to be homeless.
No matter what there’s gonna be someone on bottom and yeah, as a child, you don’t really have a choice, but I know people who worked hard with a sixth grade education and made it for themselves simply because they broke their backs literally scars on their backs from acid, but it’s just a different type of work. It’s not 9 to 5. It’s from sun break to sundown.
It’s not just hard, you’re not GIVEN the Kool-Aid in the first place. Having opportunity and privilege is what may help you reach sucsess, most are just handed it
Yeah it was@@JoeZelensky
“Maybe there just better off without me” that SHATTERED my heart😭💔
Andee is such a strong speaker ! She needs to be a motivational speaker
Fr tho, got me bawling my eyes
She speaks like a slam poetry performer. She's incredibe behind a mic.
She shook me with her pain

Poverty trauma is so real. I can relate to some of these individuals so much growing up poor has truly impacted the way I function and work and I’m constantly living in fear that I could go back to being poor and everything I’ve ever worked for will be gone even after recently graduating with my masters degree
OMG SAMEE 😭 I've recently finished my master's degree and want to try to leave my current job in order to start working at what I've studied for, but have a fear for losing the opportunity they've given me in my current job and also not finding anything related to my studies
@@nffalltry to find another job but don’t leave the one your at until its a definite position
@Trini190 yesss I'm def gonna do that. The thing is , it's a bit more complicated. Where I'm working, once you've been there for one year, you either leave for at least another year, or they give you the opportunity to stay for another year as well (not less). I've been there for 10 months now and I don't plan on staying there for more. So yeah, I'm looking for another job currently, but the fears are there.
You're going to be great ❤️
I will never diss or look down upon homeless people. Look at how disposable people were to their jobs during the pandemic. Look at us who went into college debt, only to get a job that won’t even hire you full time. It’s so easy to lose everything. We need to have more empathy for our fellows.
Matthew has been so raw, open, and vulnerable on so many different platforms. From the outside, and through a phone screen, he seems successful and educated but it truly shows you we do not know anyone’s full story. Listening to him talk about his past and his present was so humbling. The very simple basic needs are things we take for granted.
He makes me feel seen. I love him
My dude needs to take all the internet recognition from this and all the CUT videos I've seen him in and make some money doing Omegle or something like that; international music reactions/reviews/etc.
Everyone is just one step away from losing everything. No one is “immune” to homelessness and i think it’s important to understand that many homeless people never thought they’d be here. Just because you have money now doesn’t mean you won’t end up in the same situation they’re in
It's important to remain humble ❤
As a tech dude who got laid off twice in a year, I thought I had it bad. Damn. Really talking, or in this case listening, to other folks is all you need to realize your spot in life.
Mathew laid off 3x in one year 9:59
You did have it bad. My hardship doesn’t minimize your pain. Sorry that happened to you, and hope you end up at a company that values you more than that.
just got laid off and almost got homeless. i felt the pain.
@@zofzof713 I'm sorry for that like the stress is that insanely real. I wish you the best of luck with your situation, because it's rough out here.
I just got laid off once but I'm bad at interviewing so I couldn't get laid off again without a new job 😂
When Andee hugged the white t shirt lady, she felt as if her sister spoke through her, I could SEE all of it and how that hug reminded her of the last hug her sister gave before passing away. The gesture she made 22:56 it broke my heart. She wanted to touch her hands. Every word resonated with her and I could see that She needed that hug and that closure. We might not know how much impact that made on her life. ❤that made me bawl my eyes out. All of you deserve much better and you are fighters.
I really appreciate Andee’s realness responding to Edward. He was sharing his story but kind of keeping it on the surface and I think she fiercely and compassionately asked him to go deeper into the feelings. And she showed such awesome self-integrity as well as humility. Owning what she could change when her friend screwed her over and sharing to her community when she needed help instead of being too proud and ashamed to. (Those two things sound like opposites but they’re not. Pride is the cover up for shame)
People have no compassion and empathy for people anymore. Its sooo sad.
no fr, even in this comment section😭😭
well all of them chose to not work any job they could find, fast food, hard labor, under the table work. They didn’t set up an emergency fund they basically chose to be homeless
@@hunterxcraft8328 Which country are you living in? And did you even watch the video?
@@hunterxcraft8328 And how do you know? Do you know them personally? 🙄
@@hunterxcraft8328 How can anyone afford to live on those jobs in L.A.? Plus you need an address to get a job along with a number of other things. Also, nobody chooses to be homeless, that myth just enables the government to evade responsibility for creating and maintaining the homelessness crisis.
Andee deserves a Ted Talk. I didn't know I needed that today.
I was sensitive and empathetic to homeless people… and then I became one. After being homeless my whole perspective on homelessness has changed. Changed me as a person a lot. A lot of trauma. But it has made me a better person. Homelessness can look like anything.
My fav is when a homeless person has a phone and people are confused how homeless people can have a phone. A lot of homeless people are working and adults need a phone. How tf are employers going to contact you. Homelessness isn’t just street life. There’s so many layers and so many unique experiences. Homelessness is not a one size fits all, cookie cutter experience. Each is unique and all need help, as long as they are wanting help. Not all homeless people want homes either. It’s so complex
yes my father has a phone and hes homeless anytime i would tell people that they would tell me hes not homeless
It’s hard to get anything done now without a mobile phone. It’s hardly a luxury. Theft is a big problem amongst people who are living on the street, and people without adequate shelter can have trouble keeping a phone secure because of that.
32 out of 20,000 is absolutely obsurd, we need to do better as a society. The first story and I am almost tearing up... holy cow.
I'm sobbing. We gotta do something about the homeless issue. We gotta help. Nobody should ever have to worry about being homeless. 😢
Nah we gotta send money to Ukraine
@@brodiethebuilder8496 or guns to Israel to enforce apartheid and homelessness to people in other countries, too
Its the language guessing guy from cut, didnt know he was homeless
you never know what someone is going through
@@awesomeyeahroxsNah you truly don't and will never know
Andee! Oh my gosh! What a person. You absolutely have to get out there and be you. Be that motivational speaker that you naturally are. Use your experience and this energy to motivate others to change. This is your time. Step up with this emotion and this energy and the humor inside you.
Someone, please get this to her. Teach her that she is special and show her the way. She has what it takes. She does got this. Show her! Someone, please, show her! She has her own ticket to wellness inside her.
Her message at the end is for others who are where she was. This is love.
The mom who thought her kids were better off without her is like looking at my future. Homeless with a child is so hard and it’s crazy how easily you can lose your home. Rising costs and reduction of hours just knocked us out of the middle class
My mother and I were homeless together, and I would’ve been devastated if they separated us. Your children are not better off without you. You are the best mom for them.
When I was 17 my family became homeless for a month, we were fortunate to have enough money to live in a hotel but it was so scary not knowing what will happen to us. I can’t even begin to imagine how people who live on the streets must feel.
“Just because we’re not standing doesn’t mean we’re not there with you.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you for saying that in that moment. WE ARE ALL HUMAN
I think it's also important for people to see visual representation of what homelessness can look like. Society shows us a version that isn't always true. Not everyone that's homeless takes drugs and looks scary. Many homeless people are just people that slipped on a few payments or got fired from their jobs and stuggling to afford bills. It's important to have empathy and treat them with kindness.
Hearing everyone’s tell their stories weighed heavy on my heart. Eventhough I have not experienced all the things the panelist shared I can relate to having difficulties in my own personal journey that made me feel like giving up on myself but I am happy that I didn’t. Thank you Jubilee for another thought provoking episode.
Almost everyone, we never heard from the two panelists. Either way I hope the best for them also.
@@mauropereira187 I agree and I hope for the best for everyone as well .
the women with the tan hoodie really hit my core . I felt her story in my heart . I’m sending prayers to all of those beautiful souls . Life isn’t easy but we all do what we can
That a big issue no one talks about a lot (not all) who grew up and or are rich either don't care or are blessfully unaware of what poverty and homelessness exist...
100%, i think a portion of them do know it exists, but the main problem lies in the fact they have no accurate conception of what life really is like when you're in those circumstances. society is pretty heavily segregated in many areas, and a lot of the environments people with money grow up in - they're never exposed to those situations nor meet people who are dealing with, or have dealt with that. they might read about it, or see a video on it, but witnessing, knowing, hearing someone's lived experience in person is an entirely different understanding of what it really means.
@@Hey_Hi_Hello_HowsItGoingit doesn't help that a lot of tv shows and media we consume shows it in a very negative light
"A small loan of a million dollars". The ultra rich live in a different reality
Andee needs to do public speaking. Whenever things get better, she can be a motivational speaker.
I can literally hear some of their hearts pounding as they speak through my AirPods. It’s so sad. My heart goes out to them.
I feel bad for all these people went through. I wish them well!
Only 30 seconds in and I’m already tearing up 🥺

@@samu-chan hehehehehehhehehehehehehehe
was homeless as a kid, homeless again since tenth grade. I’m now 22. been waiting for them or really anyone to make a vaguely positive video abt homeless people. it doesn’t matter if ur a high school dropout or have a PHD, you’re always closer to being homeless than being a millionaire.
Witnessing Debra speak about overcoming homelessness with children is profoundly moving. And the way she described overcoming the odds she was up against, truly moved me. Her story is a testament to the indomitable human spirit, her unyielding and unconquerable spirit, showing us that even in the darkest times, hope and resilience can lead to incredible transformation. Her journey inspires us all to believe in the possibility of change and the strength within ourselves to overcome life's greatest challenges. 🥺🥺🤗🤗
I'm only going to express my gratitude for living a comfortable life. I don't ever want to be homeless. These people have the real strength to keep going. What's scary is that this could happen to any of us.
No it couldn't happen to ANY of us. That's ridiculous. Even if you're broke you don't have to be homeless. It's called being RESPONSIBLE. Taking the necessary steps to ensure a job or have skills that are needed for one. Paying your bills and not relying on others to do it for you. YOU might be homeless with that attitude. MOST everyone else would not be.
Life is really unpredictable and sometimes no matter what you do or try it just doesn't go in the direction you want it to go. There are many more factors that are not in our hand. @@dustyjeffers5716
@@dustyjeffers5716Bruh...Any job/career is not gararuteed. I see where you're coming from, and just a bit salty about everyone always claiming victimhood as a form of social currency. And that's fair. But this isn't applicable here. Being homeless is an actual struggle that could happen to anyone, even you.
@@whateverwhatever4026 no it couldn't. You think the world is against them. It isn't. It's hard to be homeless. You have to fawk up in SO MANY WAYS. Unless you're under 16 and parents throw you out. Literally anyone can work a job and pay to live in government subsidized housing. Just stahpp. Stop normalizing this behavior. It's a choice to be a drug addict it's also a choice to quit your job or get fired for being unskilled and terrible at your job. Stop victimizing everyone. Literally 95% of homeless people have Chosen that life. 5% have it forced on them.
@@dustyjeffers5716you missed lots of factors too. Throw them in and it won't be too simple and predictable. 🤷🏻♀️
this video made me re-think or wake-up on alot of the stuff that i want to do but i didnt because of the comfort zone. thank you everyone in the video and thank you jubilee
Being homeless is akin to being treated less than human by people who know NOTHING about your circumstances and it's a very disheartening experience. To see the look of fear on peoples faces when I exited the tent that I stayed in firmly cemented in my mind the sorry state of society and how it treats the impoverished.

Two of the people in this circle never spoke a single word, nor shared a secret. What's with that? Regardless, I wish the best for all of them... I've been on the brink of homelessness for years and years. Paycheck to paycheck, and those paychecks are just getting smaller while everything is going up in price. It's tragic what's happening in the world today. Stay strong, everyone, and always do your best.
I hope everything ends up working out for you.
They edit the videos so even if they did speak, it probably just didn't make the cut. It's also the person's choice if they reveal themselves, so if no one stepped up they probably didn't keep it in
But it would still be interesting to hear there secret and make us think about our own life's to I also wanted to hear all of the other secrets even if they didn't step up I would of still like to hear it n either form our own opinion or relate to there secrets
Well too bad lol@@jordanmartin9689
Jubliee you should do more episodes like this. These segments are amazing.
I work multiple job stay up for 48 hours at times just to pay rent I think about just going homeless because it’s so hard to just pay rent as a single adult !
If you can and are open to it I’d look up adult continuing education programs so that you can learn a new skill.
Many programs may offer a scholarship as well, it won’t be easy but it will give you the opportunity to get a job that supports your life sufficiently
Andee ❤️ I’m happy she and Nikki hugged. I wish them all strength love, and support to get through. This video I feel debunks the stereotypes that people have on homelessness. Costs of living are high, AI is threatening all-collar jobs, layoffs, and frankly people are assholes in how they treat others.
My last comment. I just want to applaud these brave people. So much respect. These people self reflect so much. Thank you to the panel and thank you jubilee for highlighting homelessness in a different way. Best episode yet. I would have loved to be apart of this one
Andee just spoke her truth and touched me!
Ive had a rough time lately, and im relatively lucky in this life. Money or not, life is hard. Thank you so much for your positive influence. I love you all, thank you so much for the inspiration. You all are so strong. You all are gods of your own life. Thank you, thank you.
I was homeless and pregnant, it was as bad as you think... I put my kid up for adoption so he wouldn't have to go through that with me. Tbh that experience was like the pet cemetery for me, I'm an angrier more cynical version of myself now.
There's so many experiences that can turn us skeptical to the light within us. You unselfishly gave ur child a better life.. I hope things are looking up for you ❣️
@@Kat92. Thank you
This is incredibly tragic. I'm sorry you went through this.
Every person on this video is so strong and inspiring, what Andee said about being rich in love is so true; as for the hard financial times and struggles I've experienced even remembering the times of being on friends' couches, the one thing I remember is I'm rich in love and support.
Remember, you don't have to be alone and help is out there in someone that will help make you smile. The sad truth is that the institution of government is failing us all no matter where you are, this life doesn't work and is too risky. If you read this, just remember if you have a problem and want to make a positive change in your life, there's a solution out there to help you find your happy place in your heart. ❤

This is prob the realest episode jubilee has so far
Absolutely heart wrenching.Each story was sooo raw and open.Sooo proud of each and every one of them for getting this far, and overcoming so much pain.❤
I am continually baffled by the fact that some people have no compassion for the homeless. You don't know how they got there and what struggles they're dealing with. Every human being on this Earth deserves love. No exceptions. I was particularly touched by Andee's story and her strength of character. As someone who is very close to one of their sisters, I can only imagine how crushed I'd be if I faced a similar situation. Thank you all for sharing your stories. I truly wish you all the best in life. Stay strong.
I love that they all are down to earth and supportive of each other🥺
I cannot get through this in one sitting. Hearing Andee around 8:14 just made me start bawling. I’m gonna have to come back to this one. So powerful already 8 min in😅
What I took away from this I can do this. I’m not alone. Sending these people my ❤ and hugs. 🥰
Andee I LOVE THE WAY YOU TALK! I WANT TO BE RICH BUT RICH DOESN'T MEAN MONEY!! YEEEESSSS GIIIIIRRRLLL
Debras and nikki stroke with me so much. Grew up homeless from age 2 to 14 in southern california and mexico. i was around 9 or 10, Cant really remember what age i was now that im 27, but i remember one day i saw my mom cry one time. And was the only time i seen her cry besides when she would pray. This time it was out of the know where. She was trying so hard to hide it by covering her face. I remember asking her why are you crying. It was the second after she replied by saying "perdon mijo, por el frio". when i looked around and realize that sleeping on some random apartments stairs to keep away from the rain wasnt something my mom would have wanted for me. Up untill then, i honestly didnt think that not having a stable roof was ok. All i really knew was just streets, parks, canals, and sewers to go to sleep. As a kid i really didnt mind. my brain was just stoke on no curfew, having freedom everyday and just being a kid and being chaotic in the streets. After that day though, i realized that none of that was ok. It also made me realize how much being homeless hurt my mom. Thankfully once i reached high school we where able to have a secure place. I probably will never ask my mom exactly what she was thinking that day, being that ive only seen her cry a couple time in my life it had to be someting related to nikki. That day i also realize how strong my mom was. anytime hero comes to mind, i always think of my mom. if it wasnt for her and the strong will she has i most likely would still be homeless, which would have ended me in bad situation and making poor decisions. It made me teary seeing nikki talk about her self that way.
Wow, I always have so many doubts about how my kids will feel about me in the future for this. I feel like I failed them from such a young age and gave them a childhood that they never deserved. They didn’t deserve to grow up in hotels or have to do UberEats with me. But I can only hope & pray that when my kids are your age, that they see me the way you see your mother ❤️ I know the way you grew up was tough for you & your mom. I’m so glad to read you guys are in a safe home now! 🫶🏽🥹❤️
To be vulnerable this way is a superpower. All my brothers and sisters empowered and gave hope to someone today 🙏🏽
"I haven't been present in my life." That's deep.
I want to say I’m extremely proud of each person who had the courage to share a piece of their life. I love you Nikki! ❤❤❤❤
Ugh. I was homeless before and might soon be again. For me its mental health. I was homeless years ago after a messy divorce and lost my home. I was homeless for a year. Now Im messing up at work and I don't know where my money goes at the end of the month. Its more than losing track of money its losing track of everything. I'm scared
You got this and I’m praying for you!! ❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾
Briana, my heart goes out to you. I relate to it so much. I've been there before. Congratulations on getting into recovery and changing your life for the best!
side note: i think y'all should do one on people in sobriety/recovery and cast me. I feel like the world of sobriety isn't talked enough and people can really learn a lot. // I love how raw in open people are on this. This is both heartbreaking and so powerful
They’re so much more down to earth than any “normal” person there is
it's crazy that in the US working adults do not have housing. That's CRAZY. The richest nation on Earth. That's CRAAAZYY.
I need a clarification... "Homeless" as in "living on the streets" or lived there before?
“no one can relate but thank you for sharing” lmfaooo im sorry but what 😂😂
The poverty cycle is so real and so sad because it’s almost impossible to escape it.
I wish. I wish. I wish I could do something. I want to hug them all so bad.
i doubt they didn’t help these people after this video, they have truly all went through something. & if y’all listened some of them are no longer homeless, and are trying their hardest to not get back to that place.

I work in the downtown area of Houston and I see so many homeless people around and I hate that I have to always ignore them. I have to act like they're not there and it's so dehumanizing for them. I can't even make eye contact for fear that one of them might be mentally ill and hurt me, because living in the street really messes with your mind.
There are enough houses in the world for everyone to live a dignify life, if only the rich and powerful stop being so greedy and make housing affordable.
Living in LA as a young adult is soooo hard
Im grateful for the opportunities that my life has taken me to.
I had a very heavy heart the entire time watching this video. Realization.
Ive been through most of what they have been through. I technically am still homeless i stay in a program. Trying to finish my education and become a doctor. I still dont have a home to go to but im working hard for a place to call HOME. Im praying for every homeless person. We all need that and fr people not to give uo on us. Its hard.
Especially b.c, in homelessness, the majority think _oh they choose to be in that situation_ so instead of sympathizing, we'll turn the cheek. I hope you find ur home, you deserve it ❣️
@@Kat92. Thank you so much
Funny part about this is that people always assume homeless people are on drugs or asking for money for drugs. But of all those people in that room who have been homeless, only ONE dealt with addiction issues and none of the others stood up to relate to her story. It really can happen to anyone and we shouldn’t assume the worst of people who are in a difficult situation.
This is such a deep topic for me for a woman who was the child who came from being homeless/ in hotels my whole childhood. I really feel Debra. 💯💯
Omg! Matthew! A very talented language guy! So sorry Matthew that u were in this situation
I've been homeless my entire life. From a child and even now as an adult, I am homeless. I can relate to many of their stories and its hard. I, personally, feel like I was never taught how to not be homeless. It was always go to school, get a job, pay your bills on time. And I've done all of that and I still find myself in this situation over and over again. It's hard and the system is not kind. And the American people's view on homelessness is so shallow. People don't realize that we're not all sleeping under bridges, dirty and unkempt. Some of us are educated and have steady jobs but our circumstances are sh*t.
I was homeless as a child and I will NEVER be again, especially if I can help it. I don't care how bad I want a dream to work out. It ain't happening. But that's me.
The woman at 8:30 is very well spoken, wish the best for you all ❤
I was too young to remember being in a shelter, but I've never forgotten that "safety nets" aren't guaranteed. If you have someone who would house you, feed you, get you on your feet, you're rich indeed.
When he said ‘For what it’s worth I’m so glad you’re alive and I know your kids feel the same way too’ I cried so hard😢
this episode means so much more given the recent SCOTUS ruling
wait how
whatchu mean
Give the context I think that’s the rule where homeless people can legally be prosecuted just for sleeping outside
I am currently going thru it and I about cried when the woman spoke and she talked about her children.
8:33 low key needed to hear that
I’m hearts are going out to all of these people ❤️ thank you for sharing your stories. Im prod of all for all you’ve overcome
This made me cryyyy
Andee is so inspirational and her words are powerful
As someone who would be considered middle-upper class, I find the way people around me view or treat homelessness is very dehumanizing. We are taught from a young age through the media we consume (such as social media, TV shows, and similar) that people who are homeless have done this to themselves (suggesting if they'd work harder it wouldn't be like this) and are often viewed as an extremely harmful stereotype (my mom usually assumes that people who are homeless are purposefully violent and drug addicts) -which some homeless people are addicted to drugs, but that is literally because some are struggling with reality and that is one of the only coping mechanisms they have to depend on (wether voluntary or not)
I want to learn more about this stuff as I am fully aware I am not close to understanding how truly difficult it can be to be struggling financially and I feel the need to be aware.
If you have stories, or thoughts/opinions please let me hear them if you are comfortable sharing. (Especially if I have said anything offensive in this comment, please let me know)
Was a homeless kid too And teen, im moving into my first apartment next week
This video needs more attention
Watching these makes so unbelievably grateful for what I have in life. It’s hard out here and that’s a fact. I am so thankful for life and everything it gives me
These people are so Strong. Having dealt with homelessness for 3 years, it can make you feel so defeated and isolated.
I’m proud of these people for being brave, and putting their struggle out their to help others recover 🙏🏽
what a beautiful and awareness-raising video. my heart was truly touched listening to all their stories.
Andee needs to be a motivational speaker or something.
Andee is like that friend who would tell the things you might not want to hear but you need to hear.
