Sending you so so much love Dakota. We are the same age and I also struggle with addiction, we are so similar it’s crazy and I’m crying- I feel your huge heart and that you have a lot of gifts you’re meant to share with people. Fr girl pls reach out for support, that’s what has helped me more than anything else. I couldn’t trust my own mind in addiction so I had to listen to others who have been through it and do what they say exactly even when I don’t wanna do it at all. I don’t live in Portland but still please if you’d like my contact info just let me know. You can do this ❤️
It breaks my heart. Such a smart, positive and beautiful young woman. Dakota, if you read this, I was a heroin addict from 17 to 26 or so. I got on methadone and ultimately that is what allowed me to get my life together. Now I am a loving father of 2 and made 7 figures last year as a web developer and content creator. I have chronic anxiety and depression as well. My point is, if I can do it, I believe anyone can. I am 41 now and you are closer to my daughters age than mine. So it breaks my heart to see you still struggling. I know how it is for pretty young girls on the street. It’s NOT safe. Like you said, so many creeps. I really hope you get/got on the clinic. Don’t listen to the naysayers. It saved my life, literally. I would be dead without it. Nothing else worked.
I came off 3 years of Suboxone maintenance and I'm so glad I stopped it I couldn't keep food down at all so I drank allot of ensures for 21 day's lost over 20 pounds.. went from 180 to 160 now I'm back to natural weight and I feel amazing free from anything... Methadone or Suboxone isn't considered a sober wholesome lifestyle that's just my opinion
@@sterlinf she was self medicating for chronic pain, remove your comment. You still had your right to free speech. It’s not necessary to keep yours up though, as you don’t see health and the side effects of certain meds as a morally neutral situation.
It is now 8 months since this video was posted, and It would be really interesting to see if she managed to improve her situation. She seems like a nice girl and I wish her well.
@@NAT-turners-Revenge yes a kid. To grown folks a 23 year old is still a kid. I’m 27 and work with a lot of grown folks that’s been at my job a while,I’m talking about 50 year olds,they call me kid or young buck from time to time lol unless you have a massive ego then you’ll take offense to that
A lot of people don't understand the importance of quality parenting and guidance. With my last breath , I'd be fighting for my kids and their well being. I hope this girl gets the break she needs. DEF is a good kid...just needs a little help and guidance. Best wishes , Dakota.
It’s sooo important. They do a program in Canada where they work with young kids, infants and up. They have seen insane changes, way higher graduation rates. They basically read to them and love them when they’re young.
It’s wild how much positivity she gets just because she is pretty.. please don’t get me wrong, I wish her absolutely nothing but the best. It’s just mind blowing how our society works. If this was a battered and beat up “normal” homeless person, the narrative of the response would be totally different. I struggle with my own issues everyday. We all do. What I’m getting at, is please give everyone in this world a chance. Pretty face or not. Much love people
Bruh, the way people who don't make bad decisions but still struggling either with their mental health or anything but don't look ''pretty'' are just passed by too. People are a joke lol.
I feel like she comes across as so bright and positive. That is beautiful. But behind that smile and socialness is a lot of sadness. I can sense that. Dakota, I really wish that you'll have a life that suits you. I hope you're going to be okay
Dakota you’re not alone. I am 26 and I’ve been clean off opiates for two years. I’m currently in college now. I never thought I’d get to where I am today. It sure is horrible people don’t understand how bad withdrawals truly are if they haven’t been in our shoes. Stay safe out there. If you lived in Montana I’d totally hangout with you and help you with whatever you needed. You’ve got this beautiful !
Jus goes to show that you can’t tell by jus looking at someone… I wouldn’t have thought she was on drugs or homeless!!! She seems like such a sweet person and I pray she finds her way ❤️
@@ay8292 So many homeless people have dogs in my city (Atlanta)it’s very common. It’s good for companionship and protection. Also it doesn’t take much to care for a dog.
You would be surprised. I know people who have been using opioids for decades and no one would ever guess that they use. Some drug addicts are extremely resourceful and resilient. Just because you use doesn’t mean you don’t take care of yourself in other aspects of life. Don’t get me wrong, a lot look like the walking dead but those are just a type of user. There is all types, I know successful users that work everyday and believe it or not even work out. I know one in particular that is buff eats well but just got hooked on opioids and can’t quite.
EDS is a terrible disease that only gets worse with age. It's truly heartbreaking our society doesn't take care of people who really deserve it. I have connective tissue problems as well, and thankfully my family was there for me when I needed them. Otherwise, I would be in Dakota's shoes.
Dakota is such an intelligent and articulate person and so positive, she deserves so much better than what she is going through right now. Hopefully she will get the help she needs. I will definately be pulling for her.
Lol she is lucky she's a good looking girl. If that was a normal guy his life would be 100 times harder. Girls with decent looks nowadays easily make 7 figures on OF and tons of Simps helping her. I really don't see how would she still be struggling for long. Career criminal Jeremy Meeks' mugshot was leaked years ago and he was immediately offered a job, earn millions and tons of girls thirsting after him straight after jail just because he is handsome. Life is extremely unfair, so let's be real here, this girl in the video is objectively good looking. Let's not pretend she have a tough road ahead if she even tried.
She still has life in her eyes - not the cold dead stare mixed with insanity so prevalent in people in her position. She still has a chance and as long as she can stay positive and get on methadone she can turn it around. Like she said she is still young - she can turn it around.
She has a good head on her shoulders and a kind heart, she has acquired much strength that could get her through anything. Hope she finds someone to be there for her. She is so positive and honest about her pain issues. Stay safe Dakota! Cheering you on from afar! 💙
your comment makes me wonder if you have a good head on your shoulders... how is a homeless person have a good head on there shoulders....what that tells me is they screwed over everybody they know an now has to defend for herself an her saying she graduated from alternative school tells me she hasn't followed the rules in a really long time an for her pain thats called she needs her dope to make it stop cause if she actually was in pain she would be selling all her pain meds they would give
@@Bennett9Aint0In3Itwhat are you even on about? this kind of judgmental shit makes me wonder if YOU have a good head on your shoulders which I think I know the answer to that… you could be in this same situation one day.
@@sara341426 No actually ill never be in that situation and that 1000% facts and i say that cause ill never become a junkie and get strung out on heroin...There's a reason why shes cant get/hold a job, a reason why cant go to college a reason why her family and multi friends kicked her out during rough times i went to college when i was 21 cause i was tired of making b.s. money and now make dam good money and work 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off as a driller on a oil rig and do you think I got to where im at asking for a handout no i got off my ass and made it happen for myself and for me to get to the stage where i would be homeless on the streets i would have to become a junkie an loose everything i work dam hard and fuck over/steal from all my family and my friends where they wouldn't trust me or f@ck with me anymore like Im sure she done cause for your family to throw you out on the streets and multi friends your crashing with does the same shows she was fucking them over either stealing everything they had or not trying to help herself while they work and support her or both cause after awhile of (helping) you should be able to help yourself into a job and into your own place and not be freeloading....
In a way, I learned that Sec.8,welfare,Housing,food stamps is good for us. But, if you see the world from what I saw , something isn't right. From landlords who won't say someone died in the house,to county doctors who won't plan drugs for your birth cause they want you to pay the bill. Don't let them prescribed you hormone drugs and .It is all one big package. I moved to Reno ,NV. In 2016 as a safe haven to get Peace & I did for awhile. Until FPI Prison Realty from California purchased home. Now rent skyrocketed. Our Native American Shaman CBD storefront was also attacked with $5000 a month rents this year. COVID made the peor less American than ever before.And super greedy. A joint should never be $17 a pop.That is payout to attorney ,landlords vacation, high rent & FDA fees. And the state confiscates the seeds of plant to be destroyed in the Nevada desert in AI compactors. It is ALL the same giants.$$$$$$$$$ Transmission sent from Mount Rose,NV. 19.12 10.21.2022
Her positivity is commendable. Its very encouraging to see someone in a much worse position than you but still smiling. It just shows we can always do better. I pray this girl gets on her feet because she seems to want to earn that. In that case its deserving. This type of attitude is how you get out of these bad spots, especially when you’re realistic and can accept your flaws, to then tackle them. Bravo
She is so well spoken, polite and sweet. As a mom it breaks my heart she’s had a hard life already. Wish nothing but a good life and a positive recovery.
@@redditfm4578, I'm a 42 now, but I've been homeless from age 19 untill 22. Many young woman on the streets have similar thoughts. It will make them dependant from a man. That's not a way out of trouble. It's a way into new trouble. Getting of the streets and into a pleasant life is a struggle, equally for men and for women.
@@DondeRob Not all men are bad people and if she's young and not bad looking (like the one in the video) she will most likely find someone. I bet she's already off the streets by now
Man, sending love and light to this young lady. She seems like she fell on hard times, but with some help she can get on the right track. She seems like a lovely person and I hope she gets out and things turn around for her. Are there any updates on this girl? I hope she's doing ok and or better
I have 5 daughters and I hope this never happens to one of them... Parents are suppose to help their kids no matter what ! Seeing my kid in the street would destroy me to pieces !
This isn't a girl, this isn't a kid, this a grown woman who doesn't take ownership of her actions and blames everyone and everything else. She thinks asking for help is a solution, which it can be. Help to get a job. Not help for free shit.
As a kid who is an addict, part of the thing that pushed me to relapse in the past was my parent constantly saying shit like "I'm glad I got my kid back" or "I hope you never end up like this" your kid never left, your kid just grew and learned new shit. Being in thr street isn't even that bad NGL, a good way to start helping your kid is not judging people on the street
Well, when you give too much freedom and privilege to kids this is what eventually ends up happening. Western parents despite of having great older generations have struggled to discipline their kids. Just look how messed up Gen Z is, that generation isn’t going to provide anything of value to the upcoming generations. Kids need a proper a** whooping from time to time.
Exactly what i was thinking. I would be shattered if this happens to my daughter. I will fight for her and give her all the support she needs and will never let her be on the streets. The very thought is bringing me tears. I just love her so much. Wonder how parents can be so indifferent.
What a polite, and smart young lady. It hurts my heart to know she has to live in her car or a tent. It’s so hard, that balance of being in chronic pain, and addiction, and dependence. I’m a nurse, but also have Ehlers-Danlos, so I know the struggle of having to take meds simply to move and live, then the dependence on them, and so on. My prayers are with her, and I have faith she’ll get where she wants to be.
? i known nothing but pain my whole life. u deal with it. it truly is that simple. i took hate from drs, parents etc because i wouldnt take pain pills and i can go on. but even in the 80s not hard to see how easy it was for people to get hooked on pain pills. Lets be honest drs are the worst at getting people addicted to drugs. for over perscribing. but hey. it makes drs, big pharma, fda, gov big money. so its ok. dont forget insurance companies. as long as enough and right people make BANK its ok. to kill humans
Bidens America banned export of fentanyl to Russia last year, calling it "potential weapon". USA is number 2 in use while Russia 67th place. Biden will not benefit nether democracy nor the people of his country. Who is going to ban fentanyl imports to America?
She seems like a very sweet girl . I truly hope that she gets back on track soon . Stay safe out there , it's nice that you have a pup to protect you , seems like a sweetie too .
I feel so much for this girl. I've been on prescription opioids (Morphine) for many years and it takes away all your motivation. Luckily I have a family, a house and I work for myself from home. I hope this girl finds some help with her pain and addiction. My Daughter is 20 and I could never imagine her in this situation. Much love and hope Dakota x
She reminds me so much of myself. I’ve been clean since October 2020. Getting sober seemed so far fetched, seemed impossible. But now that I’m through it, I’m so happy I made that choice. Your so beautiful & so full of life. You got this girl. ❤️ even if it seems your on your own, you have so much support especially through the people throughout this channel.
I hope she finds the help she needs, I dont know how a parent can just stop helping their kid because they turned 18, at that age they barely start to figure out life and need the guidance.
I hope Dakota finds her way; her positivity, her composure even in the worst of situations, and her awareness of her situation and the people around her are decades ahead of her age. I wish her good health and lots of happiness in the years ahead. By the way, this is someone you hire to be a people person.
@@bucktooth002 hold up, did you even watch the video, where she said that she uses them for pain management since almost forever? Do you even know how debilitating can even an "only" antidepressant addiction be? Is she a junkie? Is she getting high? Is she just taking meds for pain? Does she not take care of her hygiene, does she have holes in her skin from all the drugs? This is an example of how easily you can become homeless, just because you lost your job. Not everyone has good enough friends or family to provide support.
@@tomclanys she's just making excuses. She doesn't take ownership for any of her actions. She blames phantom pain and phantom mental illnesses. But yet she's okay stealing tax dollars to live while not contributing to that pool of tax dollars. People like her is why the U.S. is falling apart.
@@tomclanys That’s not even what she said. She said she STARTED taking them for pain, and it’s “hard to get off.” She’s telling the same story every addict tells.
@@bucktooth002 You're the immature one for passing judgment, having no empathy or ability to put yourself in someone's shoes, and for apparently not understanding addiction whatsoever. But ok, whatever you say Bucktooth 👍👍
Please do another interview with her in the future as its winter currently...praying for her. I'm 23 years old and I use a wheelchair. Positive thoughts positive outcomes girl you got this! If she sees this,feel free to reach out! October 1st was my 1 year sober date from alcohol. Your not alone and God is with you. Just keep that hope and that faith for you and your dog :D
I'm praying for you, Kota. This interview is so heartbreaking. Please get off drugs and take care of yourself. God please help her get off the streets and get her the help she needs. 🙏🙏🙏
Such a great communicater . Life has hardened her without a doubt I can see her changing many life's and being able to inspire those around her, her optimism is contagious!!
Dakota seems like such a sweet, young lady. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. I hope she can get clean off of drugs. Ultimately, it's up to her.
@@JohnJohn-bz1lq yea I’m sure you were completely alone homeless at 7 years old.. not everything is about you. You didn’t ask for help because you didn’t need it you were relying on the adults to help you. You were a child… this is a young adult. Lmao
As a mother to a teenage daughter this absolutely breaks my heart. I hope she is able to get out of the streets and rebuild her life. She definitely has the potential and a has a good spirit. She just needs to find the right support system and help.

@@grapefruitsyrup8185 even if she wasn't good looking and had good sense of charm and social intelligence she would have it good. If you have neither good looks or aren't sociable then you are doomed.
@@iseegoodandbad6758 true, but the advantage of good looks CANNOT be understated. To make up for good look, the thing you need to work on is tremendous. This is unfortunately how society works.
Such a pretty young looking girl and in such a bad situation. She needs a roof, moral support, and finish school to become something later on. She is eloquent and sounds smart. This is what happens when families break up. I hope she is doing better.
It's so heartbreaking to see that she's struggling with all of this. She's such a well-spoken and sweet girl! I could see her doing really well if it wasn't for the drugs. I wish I could do something to help her out. She'd be worth it!
Hey Dakota I'm sure you don't remember me, but i never forget a face. We worked at cherrypark subway together like 5-6 years ago. I'm sorry to hear what you're going through, but I admire your positivity and I know you'll get out of this. I'm currently living in a trailer myself and things have been rough, stay strong sister! This too shall pass. Sending positive energy your way.
It is clear that there is no paradise on Earth ..But to us Russians , the United States seems like a paradise on Earth . You watch such videos and it becomes scary : if Americans accept such torments by right of birth , then what awaits immigrants from other countries ? Or is it a conscious choice of living life by Americans ?
@@АлександрКонюхов-ф5я Finland is as close to paradise on earth as possible. It's great here. Safe, free education, freedom, no homeless problem, and all modern features of a society.
@@jpeters868 but how so ? If immigrants can earn money by starting from scratch, save money... why can't an American? The situation with money for people living from paycheck to paycheck is the same here - most of them do not have savings , but there is no work , it is only in big cities . After the start of the war with Ukraine, it is generally unclear what will happen next.I am against it , but the obstruction of the Russians by the world will not lead to anything good : people are fleeing from here wherever they look ..
@bbuny16 It 's not just about her . I watch videos from the streets of different cities in the USA , where people are lying - like garbage - on sidewalks , bus stops and are not needed by anyone ..It 's just not clear how this can happen in the greatest country in the world with high social standards ..So it's just the freedom to choose a lifestyle?
@bbuny16 I don 't blame anyone .In Russia , people drink , take drugs out of desperation in this life and they can be understood , but they do not lie around in such quantities anywhere , although the country is poor ..The USA is a great power that created the modern world - rich and prosperous ..
@Yer a wizard Harry I guess you are no wizard. Haircolor is 3-8€ so about same in dollars and no you dont need to go to salong. House is 300-1500€ per month in finland. I bet its about same in usa. You can colour your hair 3-4 times per day for that rental payment. Colouring hair is about 1 per 2 or 3 months if you want it to look perfect.
@Yer a wizard Harry house/home. Sorry for bad english. I meant place to live. Its 1-3€ per month. You need 100-400 times that for apartment. If he wants to buy candy once per month for 2 dollars you think its wrong and she does not deserve home?
Probably just like most people watching this, I'm pulling hard for this human, you are so deserving of all the kindness you freely offer others exactly as you are right now, hope life is cooperating and you are finding your path, for what it is worth as a clinical social worker myself I think you have an incredible amount to offer as a professional helper, be kind to yourself, :)

@@emreduygun u never know with addiction people have to hit there own rock bottom and say enough enough.. could be anything that sets that in motion.. hopefully she sees all these comments and realises she has people who want her to do well.. that can make a huge difference to someone who feels alone.
Smile through the pain. Man this inspired me today. Never found pleasure in opiates but alcohol and benzos wasted a lot of my time. I still struggle with alcohol abuse but I'm trying and this is so very inspiring. What an awesome human
Every single person that gives this woman money is an enabler to her suicidal drug use. She needs to be arrested, forced into a rehab jail with a work-release program, and monitored for five years. Anything short of tough love to get people clean once and for all is just making the epidemic worse. Hollow compassion to make YOURSELF feel better is not as good as doing UNCOMFORTABLE things to help a person remove toxins from their body.
don't be sad for her and don't be a simp. look at her, she is 23 and she able bodied af. she looks clean and she has absolutely no reason whatsoever to be homeless. don't ever feel bad for homeless people like her, they are the reason why the homeless population is so over inflated and they are ruining our cities and suburbs and leeching off our tax dollars. most importantly, they are taking away from the real homeless population, people with disabilities or people lost their homes and are down in their luck. i promise you, this girl has ran into plenty of guys, like you, who thought they were going to save her. meanwhile, she steals from the captain save a girl (like you) and then runs away to buy drugs.
It’s terrible about her window but thank God she has a car, at least. You can tell she really is trying hard and she wants her life to change drastically- for the better, and I have faith in her. She’s more than capable and her positivity and warmth radiates so strongly. Her strength and motivation and mental clarity regarding the fact that asking for help is OK, makes me know that she is going to be all right, she’s going to do great things once she gets clean!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is a very bright, beautiful, and optimistic young lady despite her circumstances. It breaks my heart to see her struggling in such a dangerous environment. I lost a little sister and niece to addiction and the street life. I pray this young women perseveres and helps others succeed in life. In Jesus name, Amen. 🙏✝️🕊
@@juremarkovic1756 It is? Well no one cares about your “opinion”. This world is based on facts not your little sad feelings. People have demonstrated over and over what I have said multiple times. If you claim I am wrong go out and prove it.
@Jesse She’s homeless and struggling with addiction and made some poor choices but still young and can figure it out. You on the other hand sound pretty judgmental and shallow n maybe a little too naive to sort fact from fiction.
@@stricknice5260 rofl addiction is not a disease it is a choice. All the drugs bad enough to put you on the streets everyone knows not to touch long before they become addicts. Sounds like you are the naive one. I still don’t understand how you managed to work shallow into the situation, but dumb people just say random things sometimes.
She’s in a tough position, EDS or any form of dysautonomia is absolute hell on your body, pain is constant and people don’t understand because you “look fine”, but inside your body feels like it’s falling apart. It’s no wonder she fell into opiates as it would relieve her symptoms, the problem is that it lowers your pain threshold the more you take it. She seems to have a good understanding of things and is an intelligent person, so she has that advantage.
There’s no diagnostics that can pin point EDS. It’s subjective. Docs are weary about this diagnosis because unless you have X-rays showing multiple fractures, it’s a big liability to prescribe opiates just by saying you have pain now a days.
I hope she can make it out of the addiction and have some success in life. I've struggled with drugs too, today I'm on my way to become a doctor, so it's definitely possible, you just have to want it. I believe in you girl!
This woman is amazing. Articulate, bright, attractive and has an empty pallet of great potential ahead of her. I wish that there was a way to get in touch and talk careers and furthering her academics. This kid has great possibility. The past already happened, the future has yet to unfold.
Rooting for you Kota, you have a kind soul. If you are bipolar or have other mental health issues, the proper medication will help tremendously. Absolutely nothing is wrong with being on medication for mental health issues. You are so young and have a bright future ahead of you.
As a 45 y/o man with PTSD and anxiety, I hope she (I see her post on here) realizes that she is FAR from alone in the struggle. Thoughts and prayers go out to you and REMEMBER, it's NEVER TOO LATE until God calls us home. There is always a way.
Such a lovely girl! Full of life and incredibly crisp mind. I'm in awe. What she lacks in materialistic world she more than makes up for it in her spiritual /mental world. She has struggles but her positive attitude is like a wildfire, spreading to everyone's hearts. Beautiful soul. To be friend with someone like her would be such a lucky gift of life. I have friends but noone of them is as sparkly and charming as she is! I really hope she finds her new life, someone to love and most importantly home to call her own. If you are by any chance reading this Dakota. Stay strong!! Sending you loves and cares!!!
This awesome girls smile says so much. I’m so envious of people who are able to smile under shitty circumstances because I’ve realized I’m pretty cynical and let things worry me to the point where smiling is not even an option for me at times. I’m the same age as her so I feel so inspired and I love how she took the time to think about what she wanted to say because she knew it could change someone’s life, you can tell she’s very wise
As a veteran it hurts me to see my people suffering. I still suffer from ptsd, was homeless for a time sorting out my demons with drugs and alcohol. So I understand what you're going through. I can't say I can fix your situation but I'd definitely be willing to help you out anyway I can. Just because I'm not wearing the uniform anymore doesn't mean I'm done fighting for my people.

I'm 6 years sober it's hard but worth not having to wake up an depend on something suboxon really saved me honestly.
I have a daughter the same age, and she recently moved back home where I am building her a tiny house. I hope Dakota gets the help she needs, she could easily make a 180 turnaround. Wishing you all the best Dakota!
As a mom, I really can’t understand how parents can kick their kids out especially at such a young age. Some 18 year olds are mature enough to have their own place, but most are not. I know at 18, I couldn’t imagine living on my own having all that responsibility. She was still a kid. I wonder if her parents even care or have tried to help now that she’s in this situation. So sad.
This is her mom. I made a lot of mistakes. We have offered for her to stay and/or live with us many times, but she doesn’t want to. We also gave her a lot of time to make a decision, much more time than she lets on here. I wish everything was so different 💔
This is heartbreaking! Can you please keep us updated on this girl? Can you please help her get a place to live?? She is smart, well spoken she has so much potential. Watching from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
I want to know also. She has knee problems in her 20s? I'm 60+ years old where my knees blew (and fatter) when I worked with good health in my 50s running around building muscles. There is nothing I can personally do to improve knee functions kind of depressing me also.
I completely get you. I do feel kinda the same. But do you understand how funny this sounds? Thousands of girls like her only in the states, and millions of other sad cases worse like this. So we give them all a face and a voic, and we are going to ask for constant updates because it makes us feel better? Life sucks, the world is not always nice.
@@schepvogelk5971 Well im also in Sydney Australia. We do have homeless people especially in the CBD and Parramatta but i don't see many young girls like her homeless and we don't have tent cities like in the states. Its also kind of scary as i have 2 daughters a bit younger than her.
I feel like she hasn’t fully been able to process everything she’s been through. She need to be held and allowed to cry. I’m so sorry she’s had such a hard life. Praying for her.
Dakota you're my age and though I'm not homeless I've struggled all my life with mental health. I see your light and want you to know that I know you will get better. Your beautiful
This girl has so much potential she clearly wants to get sober, wants mental health drugs and help, she wants to work, she wants all the right things. I hope someone invests in her and her future and lifts her off the streets she’s on the cusp of something great you can see it.
@@GForceIntel because people in situations like hers need a leg up they need someone to sponsor rehab, housing, mental health access, ect it’s naïve to think someone can lift themselves out of homelessness it takes a lot of help and resources

Growing up in Vancouver, BC, it's a very similar situation to Portland, OR. I've seen so many people on the DTES struggle and I hope this person gets out while she still can. I get the vibe that if she was dealt a better hand in life, she'd be nowhere near homelessness. She has amazing potential. It's not the person, it's the system that fails.
first comment here that makes sense, in this new world order of corporate slavery everyone can go homeless overnight, a bad infection or a health problem can put you on the streets today, since you are not going to be profitable anymore.
I love her positivity throughout this hard time in her life. A lot of people just say screw it and don’t care but her personality shines right through! She’ll do great! 💜
@@benhartart9487absolutely she needs to get clean asap. Interesting story though about how mom kicked dad out and then kicked her out, tells you what type of mom she is.
She very pretty to, hope she stops because drugs will make her unrecognizable and worse if doen to much she’ll lose herself to it, to never come out of it. She has a chance to get out , hope she does
She seems so sweet! Rough to see these young girls and knowing that they gotta deal with all those weirdo’s out there and having to worry about what they could possibly try doing to them.. Hopefully she’ll get everything figured out soon tho! She seems like a really smart kid, so there’s definitely some hope out there at least! 😔🙏🏼
@@lukefromtexas She’s about the most normal homeless person I’ve seen.. The weirdo’s are the random tweakers or whatever else, that get all messed up and try dragging someone like her off into a dark corner somewhere out of the way.. Those are the kinds of weirdo’s I’m speaking on.. 🤦🏻♂️
made me tear, such a beautiful free spirited, joyful young lady becoming victim of circumstances n bad choices. One bad decision in life can drag us down. I am grateful for everything i got. I wish Dakota the best.. She has lot to live for.
I could really see you as a psych nurse or er nurse , your positivity, you have this aura about you, that’s beyond your 23 years, I pray for nothing but peace love and blessings your way, I’ve been there and better days are coming, keep smiling and pushing, you got this!!!! 🎉❤
I hope that Dakota will be able to regain her health very soon and will find a path in life that will bring her the things (not just material things) she needs and wants in life. She is here for a reason and I wish her everything good.
She seems so full of life and bubbly and pretty I pray she finds her way, I've struggled myself with Opiates I know it's hard to find the will power to stop. You can do it young lady.. you have a beautiful little pup, if you can't find anything else to do it for at the moment use him he deserves the best. We'll pray 🙏
I'm a retired attorney who was actually homeless months after having earned my law degree. I slept in stairwells with my law diploma roll up and inside my backpack that I used as a pillow. Somehow despite my intelligence and academic achievements I just had a persistent feeling that I was born a round peg in a world of square holes. That feeling of being weird and never fitting in never left me throughout my career and is still a huge part of who I am. What helped me was that I stopped blaming myself and others around me for how I felt. I came to accept it the way you accept the color of the sky or breathing. It is what it is. And I determined to put one foot in front of the other. Stop fretting about the future and leave the past behind. Our ideas and opinions of past and future are fictional, however real the events may be. What really amazes me is how real life, actual events that happen to us happen the way they do because of the fictions we create and imagine about them. People will try to convince you that their version of the past is the correct interpretation, or that their assessment of the future will best prepare you to act correctly and in your best interest. Time has showed me that all the stories are mere entertainments. Nobody has all the answers, and even what seems the right answer now won't seem so in several years. Dakota's greatest asset is time. Time is on her side. At her age I was a blithering idiot compared to her. She has an abundance of gifts that are likelier than not to lift her above her current circumstances. She could be the mayor of Portland one day.
She’s 23. Time is 100% on her side. She’s at the very beginning of her adult life which is the hardest time imo. I think she will get out of it because of her attitude and things she says. Can’t guarantee that but seems so.
I’d say 20s to wake 30s are the hardest time due to you have to completely set everything up in your life. First job of a career you want but have no connections, student debt, mortgage debt, finding a wife, first kids. Everything last that gets a lot easier especially as you earn more and don’t have to prove yourself as much at work.
If she was a RUclipsr I’d watch her every day. She’s beautiful, smart, articulate, interesting, positive, even her name is charming. And has a beautiful doggy! I really hope things get better for her seriously she looks like shes gonna make it big one day I would definitely be her friend she’s so chill
It started with not eating for me. I lost a tone of weight. My family thought I was on meth, when they know how much I'm struggling with life. Lack of love caused my loneliness & drugs helped fill in that void. I understand the struggles of addiction & 99% of the time the problem is lack of support. I would love to support this young lady & get in contact with her if anyone has a link.
@@l-HEAVY-SNIPER-l there's an old saying that "a rich man doesn't appreciate food as much as a poor man". Maybe you will understand from your own perspective when you grow up.

Breaks my heart I hope Dakota starts the road to recovery. My little sister passed away in 2021 from an OD she started seeking out fentanyl (She was only 19) . She also had EDS ( I do as well, small world. Building up muscles has really helped my joint mobility and pain levels IMMENSELY. It's so important to slowly ramp up your workout)
@@xoxoxoxoxoxo3776 oh sure because an addiction paires so well with a dependency on a sponsor and unlimited funds right? Now if there's a perfect recipe for disaster this is it.
Methadone saved my life tbh. I was a raging drug addict. Been clear for 5 years and things are going good. I hope she's able to get sorted out, I'll be praying for her!
Having 2 daughters..both animal lovers ..kind of makes me teary with the situation she is going through..pray that God help you out asap ..and hold on to that puppy of yours ❤️
God, I ask that you please watch over Dakota and her dog, as you have been, and please give her some more resilience in this difficult part of her journey. Amen 🙏❤️
Good comment. 'Lord Jesus.. please watch over Dakota and above all else, draw her you and save her soul. I know that this is your desire and your will. Please touch her heart, and her life as only you can - amen . Dakota if you see this. please make another post, because we can't add to your last one. Box is full
Smart people don't choose to use drugs, right? THe way you people empathize so much with peopel who intentionally make bad decisoins compared to those who makes no sense to me. Wtf??
She has a lot of wisdom for 23 years. It was amazing to hear that she could have her faith in humanity restored by surviving on the streets. Portland must have a lot of good people.
@@turkwendell6904 Ya'll are nasty people. Not nearly everyone gets a good safe loving family and needless to say we should be more thankful for what we have. I've have seen and been through so much shit in my teens and finally realizing at 20 that i was just stupid, arrogant and rebellious and wasted many good things. What gives me hope is that we get wiser every day, if we want. Staying free of drugs and getting your life together opens up a whole lot of possibilities in this world :)
@@turkwendell6904 being wise does not have a positive correlation with getting your life together. It takes much more than wisdom, especially great willpower. It's like how coaches usually weren't the best players, nor are the best players the best coaches. If you know what i mean.
@@abdullah7792 agreed. Being attractive played a huge role in her getting out of being homeless. If she looked like that one woman with the dried up face all these comments be poking fun of her and asking if that’s really a woman. Point is attractiveness plays a huge role in how you thrive in life even as a homeless person.
Dakota, in spite of the issues you have, you come across so level headed, and it was encouraging to listen to you! I wish you all the very best in your future.
She's so happy despite her current circumstances. I understand the need for pain relief and I'm so sorry it took you down Dakota. Good luck getting back to a normal safe and secure life.
" It's Okay to NOT be Normal, It's Okay to need HELP." These wise words from you Kota Kush really opened my eyes. You are an amazing young lady and I am so proud of you. Be strong for yourself and that cute close friend you have beside you. Everything will work out for you. Love from Kenya.
True, when you are caught up in addiction the only way to get out of it is to experience a period of extreme un-normalness hence the withdrawals but it is the only way to get out of it.
Even with the daily struggles you face your smile, positivity, and optimism are infectious. I come across a lot of people in similar situations to you due to my job, and I don’t think once they’ve had the attitude you have. Everything is always negative and they often take things out on those trying their best to help them. Judging from this you have a good head on your shoulders and know what you need to do to take your life down a better path. Wishing you success and safety in the coming months.
Jesus, this hit near home. Im 24 now, been thru the opiate hell, i live in finland tho. Was homeless for 3 years, did drugs for 7 to 8 years and now i've been clean from everything for 2 years soon to be. I really hope you don't lose yourself like i did, didn't even know myself anymore. Stay safe and be well!🥰
@@frankbasile3662 Oxys, fent and all of the suboxone clinic pills r bein abused. Pretty much the same shit as anywhere else, just a rather small country. They fucked the drug abuse game over w bringing the clinics here ngl. Ppl use suboxone pills to get high/well instead of getting off opioids with the help of them. Plus they try to get u to stay for like fucking 10yrs on it which is fucking absurd.
Thank you for taking the time to interview me, awesome experience and I appreciate everyone's kind words. I'll get back on my feet I know it :)
Sending you so so much love Dakota. We are the same age and I also struggle with addiction, we are so similar it’s crazy and I’m crying- I feel your huge heart and that you have a lot of gifts you’re meant to share with people. Fr girl pls reach out for support, that’s what has helped me more than anything else. I couldn’t trust my own mind in addiction so I had to listen to others who have been through it and do what they say exactly even when I don’t wanna do it at all. I don’t live in Portland but still please if you’d like my contact info just let me know. You can do this ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story. I know you’ll get out of this rut and I wish you the best!
@Dakota, thank you for sharing your story. Do you have any social media where we can help/stay updated?
Sending good vibes! Your awesome and I believe in you!!!
Stay strong Dakota. You are a beautiful person. Don't feed in negativity...stay the way you are. God knows your heart!
It breaks my heart. Such a smart, positive and beautiful young woman. Dakota, if you read this, I was a heroin addict from 17 to 26 or so. I got on methadone and ultimately that is what allowed me to get my life together. Now I am a loving father of 2 and made 7 figures last year as a web developer and content creator. I have chronic anxiety and depression as well. My point is, if I can do it, I believe anyone can.
I am 41 now and you are closer to my daughters age than mine. So it breaks my heart to see you still struggling. I know how it is for pretty young girls on the street. It’s NOT safe. Like you said, so many creeps. I really hope you get/got on the clinic. Don’t listen to the naysayers. It saved my life, literally. I would be dead without it. Nothing else worked.
Same here I became a sous chef while on methadone worked my ass off from the ground up without going to school.
Heroin addiction of 9 years to millionaire. Holly fuck man.
I hope you aren't on methadone bro lmfao
@@thatdude3977 you're a little boy go sit down
I came off 3 years of Suboxone maintenance and I'm so glad I stopped it I couldn't keep food down at all so I drank allot of ensures for 21 day's lost over 20 pounds.. went from 180 to 160 now I'm back to natural weight and I feel amazing free from anything...
Methadone or Suboxone isn't considered a sober wholesome lifestyle that's just my opinion
Still full of life, young, and glowing. I pray the opiates don’t take all that away from her and she gets the help she needs.
You have to help yourself before receiving help. This is in the Bible, and I'm not even religious.
Sadly she has her priorities messed up. Good thing that she is staying positive, however once you become homeless very few of them recover.
@@sterlinf she was self medicating for chronic pain, remove your comment. You still had your right to free speech. It’s not necessary to keep yours up though, as you don’t see health and the side effects of certain meds as a morally neutral situation.

It’s sooo important. They do a program in Canada where they work with young kids, infants and up. They have seen insane changes, way higher graduation rates. They basically read to them and love them when they’re young.
Thisss.

It’s wild how much positivity she gets just because she is pretty.. please don’t get me wrong, I wish her absolutely nothing but the best. It’s just mind blowing how our society works. If this was a battered and beat up “normal” homeless person, the narrative of the response would be totally different. I struggle with my own issues everyday. We all do. What I’m getting at, is please give everyone in this world a chance. Pretty face or not. Much love people
this one is trying to get cleaned up, most others dont have the ability to speak a understanable sentence

How does a homeless person have the means to take care of a dog ?
Argentines and italians look well and economy & purchashing power is 💩
@@ay8292 So many homeless people have dogs in my city (Atlanta)it’s very common. It’s good for companionship and protection. Also it doesn’t take much to care for a dog.
You would be surprised. I know people who have been using opioids for decades and no one would ever guess that they use. Some drug addicts are extremely resourceful and resilient. Just because you use doesn’t mean you don’t take care of yourself in other aspects of life. Don’t get me wrong, a lot look like the walking dead but those are just a type of user. There is all types, I know successful users that work everyday and believe it or not even work out. I know one in particular that is buff eats well but just got hooked on opioids and can’t quite.

I pray this girl gets on her feet because she seems to want to earn that. In that case its deserving. This type of attitude is how you get out of these bad spots, especially when you’re realistic and can accept your flaws, to then tackle them. Bravo

im more concerned with men homelessness, she will find a man easily and shes got off the streets
@@redditfm4578, I'm a 42 now, but I've been homeless from age 19 untill 22. Many young woman on the streets have similar thoughts. It will make them dependant from a man. That's not a way out of trouble. It's a way into new trouble. Getting of the streets and into a pleasant life is a struggle, equally for men and for women.
@@DondeRob Not all men are bad people and if she's young and not bad looking (like the one in the video) she will most likely find someone. I bet she's already off the streets by now
She is full of BS. She is living at momma's house.
It's amazing how not homeless she looks. It's cool that she can manage to dye her hair on the street.
Man, sending love and light to this young lady. She seems like she fell on hard times, but with some help she can get on the right track. She seems like a lovely person and I hope she gets out and things turn around for her. Are there any updates on this girl? I hope she's doing ok and or better
I have 5 daughters and I hope this never happens to one of them... Parents are suppose to help their kids no matter what ! Seeing my kid in the street would destroy me to pieces !
The parents are more than likely pill users too
This isn't a girl, this isn't a kid, this a grown woman who doesn't take ownership of her actions and blames everyone and everything else. She thinks asking for help is a solution, which it can be. Help to get a job. Not help for free shit.
As a kid who is an addict, part of the thing that pushed me to relapse in the past was my parent constantly saying shit like "I'm glad I got my kid back" or "I hope you never end up like this" your kid never left, your kid just grew and learned new shit. Being in thr street isn't even that bad NGL, a good way to start helping your kid is not judging people on the street
Well, when you give too much freedom and privilege to kids this is what eventually ends up happening. Western parents despite of having great older generations have struggled to discipline their kids. Just look how messed up Gen Z is, that generation isn’t going to provide anything of value to the upcoming generations. Kids need a proper a** whooping from time to time.
Exactly what i was thinking. I would be shattered if this happens to my daughter. I will fight for her and give her all the support she needs and will never let her be on the streets. The very thought is bringing me tears. I just love her so much. Wonder how parents can be so indifferent.
What a polite, and smart young lady. It hurts my heart to know she has to live in her car or a tent.
It’s so hard, that balance of being in chronic pain, and addiction, and dependence. I’m a nurse, but also have Ehlers-Danlos, so I know the struggle of having to take meds simply to move and live, then the dependence on them, and so on.
My prayers are with her, and I have faith she’ll get where she wants to be.
You’re a druggie complementing a druggie.
Yep, so smart in fact that she's homeless and addicted to opiates...
? i known nothing but pain my whole life. u deal with it. it truly is that simple. i took hate from drs, parents etc because i wouldnt take pain pills and i can go on. but even in the 80s not hard to see how easy it was for people to get hooked on pain pills. Lets be honest drs are the worst at getting people addicted to drugs. for over perscribing. but hey. it makes drs, big pharma, fda, gov big money. so its ok. dont forget insurance companies.
as long as enough and right people make BANK its ok. to kill humans
I'm not homeless I'm home more but
Heroin💉 Hero out🦸😂🤣
Bidens America banned export of fentanyl to Russia last year, calling it "potential weapon". USA is number 2 in use while Russia 67th place. Biden will not benefit nether democracy nor the people of his country. Who is going to ban fentanyl imports to America?

I feel so much for this girl. I've been on prescription opioids (Morphine) for many years and it takes away all your motivation.
Luckily I have a family, a house and I work for myself from home. I hope this girl finds some help with her pain and addiction.
My Daughter is 20 and I could never imagine her in this situation. Much love and hope Dakota x
She reminds me so much of myself. I’ve been clean since October 2020. Getting sober seemed so far fetched, seemed impossible. But now that I’m through it, I’m so happy I made that choice. Your so beautiful & so full of life. You got this girl. ❤️ even if it seems your on your own, you have so much support especially through the people throughout this channel.
I hope she finds the help she needs, I dont know how a parent can just stop helping their kid because they turned 18, at that age they barely start to figure out life and need the guidance.
The average American parent... A failure to society and humanity as a whole
Exactly
I hope Dakota finds her way; her positivity, her composure even in the worst of situations, and her awareness of her situation and the people around her are decades ahead of her age. I wish her good health and lots of happiness in the years ahead. By the way, this is someone you hire to be a people person.
Being a junkie to hard drugs seems extremely immature.
@@bucktooth002 hold up, did you even watch the video, where she said that she uses them for pain management since almost forever? Do you even know how debilitating can even an "only" antidepressant addiction be? Is she a junkie? Is she getting high? Is she just taking meds for pain? Does she not take care of her hygiene, does she have holes in her skin from all the drugs? This is an example of how easily you can become homeless, just because you lost your job. Not everyone has good enough friends or family to provide support.
@@tomclanys she's just making excuses. She doesn't take ownership for any of her actions. She blames phantom pain and phantom mental illnesses. But yet she's okay stealing tax dollars to live while not contributing to that pool of tax dollars. People like her is why the U.S. is falling apart.

If she sees this,feel free to reach out! October 1st was my 1 year sober date from alcohol. Your not alone and God is with you. Just keep that hope and that faith for you and your dog :D
Two stickies doesn't = a whole person.
Do u actually need a chair or do u just use it to feel special 😂 a lot of sjws seem to use crippled culture as a badge
@@carlmorgan8452 What made you so incomplete?
I'm praying for you, Kota. This interview is so heartbreaking. Please get off drugs and take care of yourself. God please help her get off the streets and get her the help she needs. 🙏🙏🙏
she doesnt need gods and praiers. she needs money and housing, you fucking retarded piece of shit
Not just for herself but her little buddy.
Such a great communicater . Life has hardened her without a doubt I can see her changing many life's and being able to inspire those around her, her optimism is contagious!!
She's so pretty and eloquent. I love her hair and attitude. It's always the best people who get dealt the toughest cards, so to speak.
Dakota seems like such a sweet, young lady. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. I hope she can get clean off of drugs. Ultimately, it's up to her.
No it’s weak I got it all on my own from homeless at the age of 7-16 now to a decent life
@@JohnJohn-bz1lq yea I’m sure you were completely alone homeless at 7 years old.. not everything is about you. You didn’t ask for help because you didn’t need it you were relying on the adults to help you. You were a child… this is a young adult. Lmao
o shut up with that “hope she get clean” you
already jugded her by saying that.
@@networkc1200 Try listening to the video. She admits to having a drug problem. Free country. People can say what they want.
@@rushrush1209
lowkey you consider her an addict saying " hope she gets clean".
As a mother to a teenage daughter this absolutely breaks my heart. I hope she is able to get out of the streets and rebuild her life. She definitely has the potential and a has a good spirit. She just needs to find the right support system and help.
Yes. But as a man may i ask why do mothers cherish their daughters more than their sons??
Lol she is lucky she's a good looking girl. If that was a normal guy his life would be 100 times harder. Girls with decent looks nowadays easily make 7 figures on OF and ton of simps helping her, I really don't see how would she still be struggling for long. Career criminal Jeremy Meeks' mugshot was leaked years ago and he was immediately offered a job, earn millions and tons of girls thirsting after him straight after jail just because he is handsome. Life is extremely unfair, so let's be real here, this girl in the video is objectively good looking. Let's not pretend she have a tough road ahead if she even tried.
@@grapefruitsyrup8185 even if she wasn't good looking and had good sense of charm and social intelligence she would have it good. If you have neither good looks or aren't sociable then you are doomed.
@@iseegoodandbad6758 true, but the advantage of good looks CANNOT be understated. To make up for good look, the thing you need to work on is tremendous. This is unfortunately how society works.
@@grapefruitsyrup8185 well society sucks real bad. An mentally ill woman with hormonal issues will have real trouble finding a partner!
Such a pretty young looking girl and in such a bad situation. She needs a roof, moral support, and finish school to become something later on. She is eloquent and sounds smart. This is what happens when families break up. I hope she is doing better.
Just because she is pretty?
It's so heartbreaking to see that she's struggling with all of this. She's such a well-spoken and sweet girl! I could see her doing really well if it wasn't for the drugs. I wish I could do something to help her out. She'd be worth it!

Keep up with this girl. Relationships are lifelines that help people get their lives together.
Rooting for this one to succeed.
Hey Dakota I'm sure you don't remember me, but i never forget a face. We worked at cherrypark subway together like 5-6 years ago. I'm sorry to hear what you're going through, but I admire your positivity and I know you'll get out of this. I'm currently living in a trailer myself and things have been rough, stay strong sister! This too shall pass. Sending positive energy your way.
It is clear that there is no paradise on Earth ..But to us Russians , the United States seems like a paradise on Earth . You watch such videos and it becomes scary : if Americans accept such torments by right of birth , then what awaits immigrants from other countries ? Or is it a conscious choice of living life by Americans ?
@@АлександрКонюхов-ф5я Finland is as close to paradise on earth as possible. It's great here. Safe, free education, freedom, no homeless problem, and all modern features of a society.
@@jpeters868 but how so ? If immigrants can earn money by starting from scratch, save money... why can't an American? The situation with money for people living from paycheck to paycheck is the same here - most of them do not have savings , but there is no work , it is only in big cities . After the start of the war with Ukraine, it is generally unclear what will happen next.I am against it , but the obstruction of the Russians by the world will not lead to anything good : people are fleeing from here wherever they look ..
@bbuny16 It 's not just about her . I watch videos from the streets of different cities in the USA , where people are lying - like garbage - on sidewalks , bus stops and are not needed by anyone ..It 's just not clear how this can happen in the greatest country in the world with high social standards ..So it's just the freedom to choose a lifestyle?
@bbuny16 I don 't blame anyone .In Russia , people drink , take drugs out of desperation in this life and they can be understood , but they do not lie around in such quantities anywhere , although the country is poor ..The USA is a great power that created the modern world - rich and prosperous ..
I hope this young lady gets a place and all of the help that she needs. Staying positive as she is definitely helps.
Well that is usa so you can hope all you want.
@@Narutoes-pm1ok why ? because she is young girl ? . She is healthy fit and young she doesnt need help.
@Narutoes maybe but you understand that a government is expect to do and what an individual is expected to do is different?
@Yer a wizard Harry I guess you are no wizard. Haircolor is 3-8€ so about same in dollars and no you dont need to go to salong. House is 300-1500€ per month in finland. I bet its about same in usa. You can colour your hair 3-4 times per day for that rental payment. Colouring hair is about 1 per 2 or 3 months if you want it to look perfect.
@Yer a wizard Harry house/home. Sorry for bad english. I meant place to live. Its 1-3€ per month. You need 100-400 times that for apartment. If he wants to buy candy once per month for 2 dollars you think its wrong and she does not deserve home?
So sad to see this, she seems so kind and well spoken . Dakota I wish you all the best in life and I hope you get well.
Probably just like most people watching this, I'm pulling hard for this human, you are so deserving of all the kindness you freely offer others exactly as you are right now, hope life is cooperating and you are finding your path, for what it is worth as a clinical social worker myself I think you have an incredible amount to offer as a professional helper, be kind to yourself, :)
Thank you very much for the kind words
Pathetic
@@KotaKush can someone actually prove that this is her? she has venmo and cash app but no instagram to prove that its her? please do not be foolish and donate blindly. i would like to help but there is no proof and im definitely skeptical. if someone can prove it, please do so.
Dakota, You are the most sweetest, beautiful and smart young lady! You know what you want to do and where to be and it isn’t the streets. Already ahead of the game. Keep Strong and prayers to you and that sweet, beautiful fur baby!❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
as much as it's nice to have positive enforcement, I have a feeling what you are saying here does not really help her. Normalizing does not help
@@emreduygun u never know with addiction people have to hit there own rock bottom and say enough enough.. could be anything that sets that in motion.. hopefully she sees all these comments and realises she has people who want her to do well.. that can make a huge difference to someone who feels alone.
Smile through the pain. Man this inspired me today. Never found pleasure in opiates but alcohol and benzos wasted a lot of my time. I still struggle with alcohol abuse but I'm trying and this is so very inspiring. What an awesome human
🙏🙏🙏 I’m pulling for you! Stay strong
no matter how hard she tries to smile, she came to the brink of breaking into tears a few times. sad to witness that.
Every single person that gives this woman money is an enabler to her suicidal drug use. She needs to be arrested, forced into a rehab jail with a work-release program, and monitored for five years. Anything short of tough love to get people clean once and for all is just making the epidemic worse. Hollow compassion to make YOURSELF feel better is not as good as doing UNCOMFORTABLE things to help a person remove toxins from their body.
don't be sad for her and don't be a simp.
look at her, she is 23 and she able bodied af.
she looks clean and she has absolutely no reason whatsoever to be homeless.
don't ever feel bad for homeless people like her, they are the reason why the homeless population is so over inflated and they are ruining our cities and suburbs and leeching off our tax dollars.
most importantly, they are taking away from the real homeless population, people with disabilities or people lost their homes and are down in their luck.
i promise you, this girl has ran into plenty of guys, like you, who thought they were going to save her.
meanwhile, she steals from the captain save a girl (like you) and then runs away to buy drugs.
It’s terrible about her window but thank God she has a car, at least. You can tell she really is trying hard and she wants her life to change drastically- for the better, and I have faith in her. She’s more than capable and her positivity and warmth radiates so strongly. Her strength and motivation and mental clarity regarding the fact that asking for help is OK, makes me know that she is going to be all right, she’s going to do great things once she gets clean!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is a very bright, beautiful, and optimistic young lady despite her circumstances. It breaks my heart to see her struggling in such a dangerous environment. I lost a little sister and niece to addiction and the street life. I pray this young women perseveres and helps others succeed in life. In Jesus name, Amen.
🙏✝️🕊
If an attractive female is homeless they are a horrible person. That is a FACT. There are GOOD reasons why no one will give this girl a place to live.
@@jessebarnett4205
You are stupid that my opinion.
@@juremarkovic1756 It is? Well no one cares about your “opinion”. This world is based on facts not your little sad feelings. People have demonstrated over and over what I have said multiple times. If you claim I am wrong go out and prove it.
@Jesse She’s homeless and struggling with addiction and made some poor choices but still young and can figure it out. You on the other hand sound pretty judgmental and shallow n maybe a little too naive to sort fact from fiction.
@@stricknice5260 rofl addiction is not a disease it is a choice. All the drugs bad enough to put you on the streets everyone knows not to touch long before they become addicts. Sounds like you are the naive one. I still don’t understand how you managed to work shallow into the situation, but dumb people just say random things sometimes.
She’s in a tough position, EDS or any form of dysautonomia is absolute hell on your body, pain is constant and people don’t understand because you “look fine”, but inside your body feels like it’s falling apart. It’s no wonder she fell into opiates as it would relieve her symptoms, the problem is that it lowers your pain threshold the more you take it. She seems to have a good understanding of things and is an intelligent person, so she has that advantage.
Opiates do not lower you pain threshold. They can temporarily while you go through withdrawal... That's it
She has EDS?
There’s no diagnostics that can pin point EDS. It’s subjective. Docs are weary about this diagnosis because unless you have X-rays showing multiple fractures, it’s a big liability to prescribe opiates just by saying you have pain now a days.
I hope she can make it out of the addiction and have some success in life. I've struggled with drugs too, today I'm on my way to become a doctor, so it's definitely possible, you just have to want it. I believe in you girl!
This woman is amazing. Articulate, bright, attractive and has an empty pallet of great potential ahead of her. I wish that there was a way to get in touch and talk careers and furthering her academics. This kid has great possibility. The past already happened, the future has yet to unfold.
She's not amazing. She's got drug issues and needs to stop doing drugs so that her delusions about reality stop.
Have you met anyone in your life? These comments are cringe
She seems very likable! I hope she will overcome all her struggles and gets the life she wants! Wishing her much strength and peace!! ❤️
@Kota you are amazing!
Rooting for you Kota, you have a kind soul. If you are bipolar or have other mental health issues, the proper medication will help tremendously. Absolutely nothing is wrong with being on medication for mental health issues. You are so young and have a bright future ahead of you.
As a 45 y/o man with PTSD and anxiety, I hope she (I see her post on here) realizes that she is FAR from alone in the struggle. Thoughts and prayers go out to you and REMEMBER, it's NEVER TOO LATE until God calls us home. There is always a way.

Such a lovely girl! Full of life and incredibly crisp mind. I'm in awe. What she lacks in materialistic world she more than makes up for it in her spiritual /mental world. She has struggles but her positive attitude is like a wildfire, spreading to everyone's hearts. Beautiful soul. To be friend with someone like her would be such a lucky gift of life. I have friends but noone of them is as sparkly and charming as she is! I really hope she finds her new life, someone to love and most importantly home to call her own. If you are by any chance reading this Dakota. Stay strong!! Sending you loves and cares!!!
This awesome girls smile says so much. I’m so envious of people who are able to smile under shitty circumstances because I’ve realized I’m pretty cynical and let things worry me to the point where smiling is not even an option for me at times. I’m the same age as her so I feel so inspired and I love how she took the time to think about what she wanted to say because she knew it could change someone’s life, you can tell she’s very wise
As a veteran it hurts me to see my people suffering. I still suffer from ptsd, was homeless for a time sorting out my demons with drugs and alcohol. So I understand what you're going through. I can't say I can fix your situation but I'd definitely be willing to help you out anyway I can. Just because I'm not wearing the uniform anymore doesn't mean I'm done fighting for my people.
Thank you for your service ❤️
Fighting for bankers, you deserved to be homeless and suffer so you taste your own medicine you must have killed inoccent people in Iraq and Afghanistan. You are a slave

Hopefully didn't make people homeless, parentless or childless overseas in your duty.
@@rasmus5341 combat is never nice, people don't survive wars, only monsters survive wars. If you don't like to see the ugly side if humanity then you should have never sent us. And yes, silence and inaction is just another form of approval.
Her optimism is outstanding. A lot of people even as a young homeless person become jaded and angry with the world. Best wishes to her.
would be nice to take her in and help here and do here now and then tho
As an addict in recovery, I send all my love to her and I rise my prayers for you. I was 23 too when I first got cleaned and there is hope.
Gorgeous, smart and well spoken. I hope she finds her way
This is the 1st person I've seen that if she had not said she was an addict I would've never known she's still young an seems to have a good head on her shoulders I really hope the best for her she deserves to live her best life drug free. I'm 6 years sober it's hard but worth not having to wake up an depend on something suboxon really saved me honestly.
Yeah she's a winner
Yeah I'm 2yrs clean after 20.. welldone you keep up goodwork:)
I have a daughter the same age, and she recently moved back home where I am building her a tiny house. I hope Dakota gets the help she needs, she could easily make a 180 turnaround. Wishing you all the best Dakota!
😂 lol (I don’t mean to laugh) you mean 180. 360 brings her right back to where she is right now
As a mom, I really can’t understand how parents can kick their kids out especially at such a young age. Some 18 year olds are mature enough to have their own place, but most are not. I know at 18, I couldn’t imagine living on my own having all that responsibility. She was still a kid. I wonder if her parents even care or have tried to help now that she’s in this situation. So sad.
You've never had to deal with an opiate addict with borderline personality disorder then
This is her mom. I made a lot of mistakes. We have offered for her to stay and/or live with us many times, but she doesn’t want to. We also gave her a lot of time to make a decision, much more time than she lets on here. I wish everything was so different 💔

This is heartbreaking! Can you please keep us updated on this girl? Can you please help her get a place to live?? She is smart, well spoken she has so much potential. Watching from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
I want to know also. She has knee problems in her 20s? I'm 60+ years old where my knees blew (and fatter) when I worked with good health in my 50s running around building muscles. There is nothing I can personally do to improve knee functions kind of depressing me also.

I completely get you. I do feel kinda the same. But do you understand how funny this sounds? Thousands of girls like her only in the states, and millions of other sad cases worse like this. So we give them all a face and a voic, and we are going to ask for constant updates because it makes us feel better? Life sucks, the world is not always nice.
@@schepvogelk5971 Well im also in Sydney Australia. We do have homeless people especially in the CBD and Parramatta but i don't see many young girls like her homeless and we don't have tent cities like in the states. Its also kind of scary as i have 2 daughters a bit younger than her.
I feel like she hasn’t fully been able to process everything she’s been through. She need to be held and allowed to cry. I’m so sorry she’s had such a hard life. Praying for her.
Dakota you're my age and though I'm not homeless I've struggled all my life with mental health. I see your light and want you to know that I know you will get better. Your beautiful
This girl has so much potential she clearly wants to get sober, wants mental health drugs and help, she wants to work, she wants all the right things. I hope someone invests in her and her future and lifts her off the streets she’s on the cusp of something great you can see it.
If you see all this in her, why don't you be the one person to invest in her?
@@CryptoKernels if I had any resources I would in a heartbeat
Why should someone else invest in her when she should be the one doing it? It all starts with you!
@@GForceIntel because people in situations like hers need a leg up they need someone to sponsor rehab, housing, mental health access, ect it’s naïve to think someone can lift themselves out of homelessness it takes a lot of help and resources

Growing up in Vancouver, BC, it's a very similar situation to Portland, OR. I've seen so many people on the DTES struggle and I hope this person gets out while she still can. I get the vibe that if she was dealt a better hand in life, she'd be nowhere near homelessness. She has amazing potential. It's not the person, it's the system that fails.
first comment here that makes sense, in this new world order of corporate slavery everyone can go homeless overnight, a bad infection or a health problem can put you on the streets today, since you are not going to be profitable anymore.
I love her positivity throughout this hard time in her life. A lot of people just say screw it and don’t care but her personality shines right through! She’ll do great! 💜
she needs to get clean, or she is toast.
@@benhartart9487absolutely she needs to get clean asap. Interesting story though about how mom kicked dad out and then kicked her out, tells you what type of mom she is.

I'm a retired attorney who was actually homeless months after having earned my law degree. I slept in stairwells with my law diploma roll up and inside my backpack that I used as a pillow. Somehow despite my intelligence and academic achievements I just had a persistent feeling that I was born a round peg in a world of square holes.
That feeling of being weird and never fitting in never left me throughout my career and is still a huge part of who I am. What helped me was that I stopped blaming myself and others around me for how I felt. I came to accept it the way you accept the color of the sky or breathing. It is what it is. And I determined to put one foot in front of the other. Stop fretting about the future and leave the past behind. Our ideas and opinions of past and future are fictional, however real the events may be. What really amazes me is how real life, actual events that happen to us happen the way they do because of the fictions we create and imagine about them.
People will try to convince you that their version of the past is the correct interpretation, or that their assessment of the future will best prepare you to act correctly and in your best interest. Time has showed me that all the stories are mere entertainments. Nobody has all the answers, and even what seems the right answer now won't seem so in several years.
Dakota's greatest asset is time. Time is on her side. At her age I was a blithering idiot compared to her. She has an abundance of gifts that are likelier than not to lift her above her current circumstances. She could be the mayor of Portland one day.
Time is not on her side.
Wise words, never spoken so true
fave comment. so real.
She’s 23. Time is 100% on her side. She’s at the very beginning of her adult life which is the hardest time imo. I think she will get out of it because of her attitude and things she says.
Can’t guarantee that but seems so.
I’d say 20s to wake 30s are the hardest time due to you have to completely set everything up in your life. First job of a career you want but have no connections, student debt, mortgage debt, finding a wife, first kids. Everything last that gets a lot easier especially as you earn more and don’t have to prove yourself as much at work.
May she find her footing soon! So full of great potential! We are all rooting for you.
If she was a RUclipsr I’d watch her every day. She’s beautiful, smart, articulate, interesting, positive, even her name is charming. And has a beautiful doggy! I really hope things get better for her seriously she looks like shes gonna make it big one day I would definitely be her friend she’s so chill
Okay, that's enough.
I’ve been going through it lately… Dakota, thank you. Thank you for your advice and for sharing your outlook on life. You’ve really inspired me.
Poor thing , Bless her soul and hope she gets all the help she needs.
It started with not eating for me. I lost a tone of weight. My family thought I was on meth, when they know how much I'm struggling with life. Lack of love caused my loneliness & drugs helped fill in that void. I understand the struggles of addiction & 99% of the time the problem is lack of support. I would love to support this young lady & get in contact with her if anyone has a link.

What gives me hope is that we get wiser every day, if we want. Staying free of drugs and getting your life together opens up a whole lot of possibilities in this world :)
@@turkwendell6904 being wise does not have a positive correlation with getting your life together. It takes much more than wisdom, especially great willpower. It's like how coaches usually weren't the best players, nor are the best players the best coaches. If you know what i mean.
@@abdullah7792 agreed. Being attractive played a huge role in her getting out of being homeless. If she looked like that one woman with the dried up face all these comments be poking fun of her and asking if that’s really a woman. Point is attractiveness plays a huge role in how you thrive in life even as a homeless person.
Dakota, in spite of the issues you have, you come across so level headed, and it was encouraging to listen to you! I wish you all the very best in your future.
She's so happy despite her current circumstances. I understand the need for pain relief and I'm so sorry it took you down Dakota. Good luck getting back to a normal safe and secure life.
Well we need to be positive in life no matter the out comes we can’t give up we have to keep fighting n smiling 😊
Called opiates.
" It's Okay to NOT be Normal, It's Okay to need HELP." These wise words from you Kota Kush really opened my eyes. You are an amazing young lady and I am so proud of you. Be strong for yourself and that cute close friend you have beside you. Everything will work out for you.
Love from Kenya.
It’s ok to not be ok.
True, when you are caught up in addiction the only way to get out of it is to experience a period of extreme un-normalness hence the withdrawals but it is the only way to get out of it.
Even with the daily struggles you face your smile, positivity, and optimism are infectious. I come across a lot of people in similar situations to you due to my job, and I don’t think once they’ve had the attitude you have. Everything is always negative and they often take things out on those trying their best to help them. Judging from this you have a good head on your shoulders and know what you need to do to take your life down a better path. Wishing you success and safety in the coming months.
Where is her mom? I would never let my child be on the street even if they are in their 40’s.
Jesus, this hit near home. Im 24 now, been thru the opiate hell, i live in finland tho. Was homeless for 3 years, did drugs for 7 to 8 years and now i've been clean from everything for 2 years soon to be. I really hope you don't lose yourself like i did, didn't even know myself anymore. Stay safe and be well!🥰
Weldone for coming back. That's tough.
How is the opiate problems over there ,I'm surprised Finland has opiate issues also,..
Why you are mentioning the Name of God?
Lord help her and keep you.😟👍
Healthy 2023🤗
@@НатанаилСталев-ф2р Wtf u mean? Plus last time i checked Jesus wasn't god. I don't believe. For me it's just a word like all the others.
@@frankbasile3662 Oxys, fent and all of the suboxone clinic pills r bein abused. Pretty much the same shit as anywhere else, just a rather small country. They fucked the drug abuse game over w bringing the clinics here ngl. Ppl use suboxone pills to get high/well instead of getting off opioids with the help of them. Plus they try to get u to stay for like fucking 10yrs on it which is fucking absurd.
