As soon as I saw the thumbnail I recognized her. Every couple months she comes to the Ross store that I work at. It’s so crazy to see her here telling her story. The times that she’s been at the store she always has her babies with her, and let me tell you something, 99% of the things that she buys is for her kids (and her little dog). I’ll admit there have been times were she comes in her stroller and it looks like she might steal something (because trust me A LOT of people do that at the store), but she pays for every little thing, even if her kids are already wearing the items. It breaks my heart knowing that the government doesn’t do enough to help her and her children. She has such a positive outlook regarding her situation, where a lot of people would probably break. I hope that she and her babies are doing well and I pray that they get the assistance that they deserve!
@@nicolebordeaux4543 Not you policing how she tells her story…💀🤣 She said she works at the store where a lot of people come in with strollers to steal. It’s not rude, it’s a fact. She told a whole story and that’s all you took from it. Smh. Anyway, I appreciate the back story because you never know with these videos if people are being completely honest or not. I hope this family gets the help they need 🙏🏽.
Thank you for this post. It is hard for folks like me to see this away in South Carolina. So Is it confirmed that she has no substance abuse? Because this completely invalidates boomer lie that in America “if you just work hard and stay clean you get the dream”..They try to portray all unfortunate folks are thieves and druggies or mentally ill.
Agree but if we taxed corporations and the wealthy appropriately there wouldn’t be a need to “prioritize” people over the next. The idea that some deserve housing/food security and others don’t is absurd.
When Mark comments "You've got a rough life there" and she immediately answers "Yeah, but we're blessed..." that's a person with a great attitude. Hopefully they have a better future and those kids grow up with their mothers fighting spirit
I think she said it was because she was in the hospital that she got behind on household bills. Medical bills can be put off for years and eventually settled at a small fraction of the original bill.
This is a story about why America is so broken. I cant believe this poor woman is in this situation because she was hit by a car. The fact that the church and friends/family have been the only people to come through for her and her kids is despicable. How on earth can America ever progress and care for their citizens. I really hope this family find a way to have a stable life ❤️
Mom is fully engaged with the interview, but yet keeps her eye on her babies. All the respect to this momma and her dedication to her children. Thousands of well to do parents should take notes from this woman. Keep pushing momma❤
No thank you, i married a man who worked for a living never would the kids go hungry, BUT THEN after a accident or whatever iF YOU ARE LOW INCOME IN AMERICA YOU GET SHELTER AND FOOD STAMPS,
Being dragged by a truck driver, never getting justice, losing your job and lively hood over an accident WITH young children is unbelievably heartbreaking yet she’s so positive. It’s incredible. I truly hope they get the home or RV they need to have a more stable life. She’s done such an incredible job with what she has and I’m truly rooting for them 🙏🏽
Mark: what a rough life now Marisa: we're blessed, we're alive, we're together Made me cry, she's so inspiring and I wish her and her beautiful kids to be well.
some people look down on her for keeping her kids wit her but you don’t understand how much them babies are going to love and respect their mom for not giving them up and allowing them to stick wit her thru it all
And we all know the froster care system is terrible. They kill and lose children all the time. They are actually safer with her. It’s heartbreaking that is the case.
My family was considering chronically homeless growing up. There were 6 of us she drug along with her across the country from homeless shelter to homeless shelter. I witnessed my first murder when I was 8. All these horrible events I went through being homeless could have been prevented if my mom would have just allowed us to stay with family. I still have horrible ptsd and every time my lease comes up I become a complete mess. I haven’t been homeless since I was 14 but the possibility still scares the shit out of me.
NOOO, NO! These children deserve a better start in life. Stop with feeling sorry for the mom. Give those kids the best start possible OR they will be on skid row forever.
@@gracejones2831 just because you are poor doesn't mean you're Shit! By the way she talks, she takes care of her kids. A lot of people are ONE paycheck away from being homeless.
@bigbuttvampire Well said exactly just cause someones homeless it don't mean their bad parent it's a situation anyone can be in at any moment tbf I'm just surprised the government don't help single homeless parent with more than 2-3 kids ..wtf 👀 in UK they would have a hostel room in a family unit with cooking facilities etc and then put on a housing register. We have like bands in the UK Band 1 band 2 band 3 etc And to me shes a priority with all those kids idk how the UK housing would see it but that's my personal opinion. She's doing a great job Sending positive vibes to everyone 🙏🏾
AMEN !! The joy and smiles on these sweet kids faces says who she is as a Mother. Just Beautiful .. praying she can get back on her feet and know she will be showered with abundant blessings of health and financial freedom
That little girl with the blue hair stands out to me. She reminds me of my young self. She’s by her mom side this entire time listening and talking in information. She going to over come all off this! Please keep us updated on their progress please!
@@MARKHENSTROM And being so in debt with medical bills she becomes homeless with two kiddos! The lord is good, AMEN. 😂 If that’s the outcome I’d rather not survive the accident.
What a bunch of beautiful well behaved children! I'm from Canada where this woman and her children would be living in subsidized housing receiving $2200/month on social assistance and another $2500/month on Child Tax Benefits as well as full medical, dental, vision and prescription coverage. She would also be eligible to visit her local food bank once a week where she'd be given at least 4 large boxes of groceries for a family of her size. What is wrong with the USA???
There is obviously more to the story than she is telling. It is easy to get medical, and food benefits in America. Housing takes time sometimes but it can be done.
@@Hi-bl8rm depends on the state broski I live in a state where it’s easy to get it but that’s bc everything else is working she lives in Cali so I can imagine that everybody is trying to get gov. benefits and assistance so i can see why it’s hard 4 her
You can tell she takes care of those kids. They are so well behaved and the chunkiest cheeks! She's doing her best. I hope she is able to get the help she needs. She deserves it just because she's been through so much and still stays so positive. Bless her.
When all the kids were rolling around the floor and playing, I realise that I'm actually smiling without knowing it. Such a humble little family. I hope they find some sort of permanent housing that's large enough for them all to give them all personal space.
@@wel722 i just noticed it's been removed. what do you mean with "opinions that don't go along with Mark's party line"? i didn't notice anything too political about juniper. and i don't know what Mark's political views are. unless it was demonetized, removing videos isn't good for him, since he gets paid per view. i'm curious now as to what happened with juniper's video.
@@wel722 sure, of all the issues that he tries to bring into the light, the issue that is closest to your heart isn't it on hard enough. Let's see what you're going to do about that little niche that you seem so obsessed with that you can't see clearly through your anger. If you have a channel, I'll be happy to support it too. I'll wait for the information.
@@9roselove9 wow, I don’t recall hearing her say she’s lonely and feels like a failure. I do recall her saying she lost her job and home when she was almost killed and injured in a horrific accident. I also heard her say she currently has shelter, a helping family member, and goals of a home to call her own. I heard her say the father of her children is assumed dead, and I heard her say she’s blessed although she doesn’t have material possessions that most of us take for granted. I’ve made it a goal of mine to assume good intentions from everyone before jumping to my own conclusions. Your remark seems calloused and cold to say the least. That being said, I won’t assume your comment was intentionally hurtful or malicious. Perhaps I read it wrong. These kids appear to be healthy, happy, and loving. Their mother stated she has never touched drugs. I’d deduce from the information given, that her difficulties are the product of extremely bad occurrences that were beyond her control. From where I’m sitting, 4 children seeing their loving mother refuse to give up and determined to do everything she can to improve their lives is a great example. Especially given the uncertainty that taking kids from their mother and handing them over to “the system” can create. (Sexual abuse, physical abuse, splitting them up, etc.) Furthermore, she’s suffered enough and she’s still trying… so how would taking that which she cherishes most in this world away from her be a step in the right direction? Finally, I hope if you ever experience a fraction of the harsh realities this kind hearted woman has been forced to endure, that no one is too quick to judge you, or your circumstances, and that instead of harshness you are met with kind, loving, helpful attitudes that will help you become whole again. Have a great day. ❤️
@@scharigee2966 projection? How i have no kids and my mom never let us be homeless or anything like that. I grew up great and my parents loved me…so this is awkward..
I know her ...She is a good person...and she loves her kids I helped with what I could. She just had had her youngest. My son was 3/4 months and I blessed her with so much baby stuff. Sad to see she's still in this situation. PATH was supposed to help her with housing. I will continue praying for her and her precious kids. God will make a way Missy 🙏🏾😇❣️
Her children are so well behaved. What an amazing mom doing everything she can to keep her babies safe despite her having nothing, she certainly keeps a safe place for her babies to see she is trying to make a better life for them. I pray she gets blessed with a home very soon. 💙
There are many of us living paycheck to paycheck.This just goes to show how quick you could go from having a roof over your head,etc. to being displaced in a shelter then nowhere to go.Humble yourself always and be grateful for what we have.I know her strength comes from those babies💪💓💕I'm so glad they are doing ok and will have a stable place soon with her uncle.
@@peoplesht322 I know and thats what needs to be fixed. People need to start taking care of their children instead of throwing them on the street. My family is shitty and would throw me on the street, but, I changed the way I take care of my kids. I'm breaking the cycle.
i need these interviews. the other day when i got home, i went ballistic because they messed up my order from the nastiest tasting burger joint. It's hard to watch at times
Damn. This is the first one that really got me. She reminds us all that it isn’t only drugs, crime or mental illness to end up homeless. Or less of home. When I was a single mother of a 2 yr old having just left her Dad, it took me 2 months living with family and friends. I finally found an apartment in my budget. And a daycare that would have to be affordable because I couldn’t get to the other ones before 5:30p from work. One month of missing a paycheck, and I would’ve been done. In a town that really really does not like the homeless. Marisa reminds her kids of how many blessings they have. To be together. And she calls them “jewels” to be cherished, that can’t ever be replaced. Those babies are clean, well-fed and educated. Cared for and loved. That goes a hell of a long way in my book. Her devotion and fortitude are beyond admirable. ❤
Yes! More homeless mothers with children on your platform please. It's a dire problem in California. They are being overlooked by the community and organizations that should be allocating resources. Thank you for giving them a voice. ❤
@@user-rr8vj9dq9s I was born and raised in California. I've experienced homelessness first hand. Which is why I allocate my own resources and funding to MY COMMUNITY. Many organizations recieve funding and run with the money. Along with discriminatory practices that prevent certain ethnic groups from receiving help. The government naturally plays a huge part but the people working within these organizations are at fault as well. But I digress.
"My child are jewels.” "I got a second chance " It warms my heart to see this woman and I wish her a life of joy I hope many people hear her message ! I will be looking forward for an update of her life!
Her babies are stunning, someone please help this family. I live in australia, if i could help her i would. So many wealthy people in America, and yet so much poverty. CRAZY
Damn this was my mom 20 years ago with 5 kids living motel to motel & the homeless shelter until we were in middle school she finally got herself together ❤ I can't thank my mother so much for keeping me, my sisters, & brother together through out all the hard times. Those kids will forever admire there mother, you can tell she loves her babies 💕
How tough to live this way. Who knows the real story- it sounds like before the car accident she was already struggling. My hope is for the kids to find a stable life and mom.
@@wel722 It seems all youtube creators are pigeon-holed by the shifting corporate curbs and filters. So the platform has become a "limited hangout" in psyop terms. I think Mark knows he has to keep things between the lanes, pay to play. I enjoy the sincerity and perspective I see in these interviews, but I know I have to go elsewhere for strong meat.
Her attitude is such a stark contrast to many that we hear on this channel. And in life. She could so easily take a victim mentality with everything she's been through, but she truly feels blessed. So many people wear their trauma as a badge of honour and become defined by it. I wish I had a fraction of her strength.
@Carol Spencer I see, alert, and curious children. Their body language speaks a sense of security and trust. To do the acceptable thing, placing them with relatives or in foster care would mean separation trauma for mother and children. And the risk of the unspeakable at the hands of the most despicable of creatures. She took a gamble, and so far, it looks so good.
"... yes, but we're still blessed, we're still alive, we're still together, we're still pushing..." What a great attitude given her circumstances. Rock on woman! Mark, if you please, do a follow up on this family and thank you for all you do for all these people and your viewers
@@fuubitch Ah yes, judging people's lives without knowing shit about them. If maturity is a criteria for having kids, you would probably not be allowed to have any.
WOW just WOW is all I can say on this video you captured and shared with us of Marisa and her children. I would so love to donate to her!! And like others mentioned, please share an update later!! What a positive role model for her children even through all her struggles and setbacks...inspirational
I hope she gets assistance with those 4 children... that is probably such a hard and stressful situation. God Bless you and those precious, linnocent children
She needs to get off skid row.. or thatll never be reality.. she is addicted to harsh things and needs to go north and detox while she works the farms up north to do it.. otherwise she will always pretend victim and use.
Right, the mother seems to have good intentions however in this case you gotta protect the children and shelter them/move them elsewhere immediately while she can try getting her life on the rails again.
@@dertythegrower She said she doesn't even smoke, so I'm confused, where did she say she used drugs? Don't kick this poor woman while she's struggling. 🥺
This is how I ended up homeless with my two children. Hospital bills from my youngest child being chronically ill. It took us 2 years to get back on our feet. This pandemic almost put us back on the streets. Thank goodness friends and family came through to help us get by for a few months. Once I got back on my feet again, first thing I did was pay everyone back. It’s so easy to end up in these situations in the USA. There is no real safety net. Medical and welfare refused to help us even though we are all US citizens. So, this country is a total joke when it comes to helping those who are truly in need.
Only the illegals and other countries get our tax money. Not a woman like this and these little angels. Shitting awful system bent on destroying families
@mydizzymelody. That’s a blessing that your family helped you with your situation. There’s this guy name Isaiah I’ve watched on RUclips, and he helps out the homeless by giving them money and doing a go fund me page for individuals that were homeless and give them a apartment. Isaiah was once homeless. And he gives back to the community. And he does way more than the government itself.
We can all learn a lot from her perspective of life. I like that she made the point - you have to watch your children NO MATTER where you’re at. Predators are everywhere! High and low places. May her and her children continue to be blessed ❤
She is a prime example of a good mother! Never give up I’m praying for you! I’m from New Mexico I’m so sorry you were hit by a car GOD is good you will come out on top!
She has the sweetest kids. When I was in LA during covid one of the groups I worked with (mission echo) volunteers on skid row a lot and we were able to donate & help this family then. You can’t forget her face or her kids…So sad they’re still in this situation, but she is so strong and I’m always amazed at how she takes cares of the kids and puts them first before herself. Praying they all get in a home/stable situation soon.
13:35 “I thought I was better that anybody. God brought me down a notch”. Thank you for your story Marissa. God brought Me down too. Took my house my marriage my children my dignity and had to start all over again. I still don’t have my children but you do. You are blessed 😇🙏🏼💖
Ruth I don't want to butt In and I don't wAnt to be nosey. What happened if I May ask. I'm so sorry you don't have your babies. I hurt for you. I don't have any children. Your comments were so sweet but made me sad too. You look like a beautiful lady.
@@SkybabyandStar well looking at her only other comment on this Channel she commented on a male stripper heart eyes. She most likely is a bad mother not there for her kids looking for sympathy on the internet while she goes on dates with other men. Probably cheated on her husband to.
This breaks my heart I wish Mama and those BEAUTIFUL babies the best and praying for their safety!! You can tell she loves and protects them and she will be blessed ♥️
Man, if I knew this lady and she was around my town I'd bless her with so many things to help her. She is going through rough times with her kids and she is still so positive and realizes how blessed 🙌 she is. I hope everything works out how she'd like. It can always be worse and she knows that. I really hope it gets better for them
These are the cases that need more attention. These examples need to be brought up more when elected officials are making laws and deciding how money is spent. No one, ESPECIALLY A CHILD, should be homeless.
I don't even understand how we can sit here and talk about homeless children! It's beyond insane! The smallest one is two years old for crying out loud! America, the home of the free. The country everyone is dreaming about. Not me. I'm so EXTREMELY thankful that I don't live there because this is just so horrible I'm almost lost for words. This doesn't happen in my country. If I lived there, I'd take them in today. I only have one guestrooms but the children could get bunk beds and the mother could sleep on the couch. But in my opinion those children should go to school. They need a place to go to outside where they live, especially in this situation.
She has tried hard to take care of her children. What happened to can happen to anyone. She is articulate and powerful but many homeless are mentally ill. Where is the government. Where is Elon musk? So many billionaires. How many homeless those billions take care of? The police won't help them. They just chase them away. Where I live you have to line up for a bed in the Salvation army. If they get in it costs $7 a night. Why isn't free?
They dgaf of anything but profits no matter who you elect it's the same shit interest interest interest if they cared about the people and the environment they would've done something long ago they could do it got the money and power for it
I work at a shelter in FL and have the privilege of knowing some amazing folks experiencing homelessness. Getting to know people can really change perspectives and open hearts. Wishing love to this family. Thanks again for sharing these, Mark.
I never comment but wow this lady and her children are beautiful inside and out with that gratitude and mentality she will make it work for her babies what a beautiful sole she is
She’s real! She would always stop by my Cafe and order hot packaged food. She was never rude! Always called me sweetie & had manners. Everyday I would still see her, carrying a bunch of groceries she could barley carry and a stroller with one of her kids. Walking her 4 little babies making sure they’re all in her sight. Never saw her with any man helping her, Always doing everything solo. She has so much patience for all her kids, always get each of them the same attention and made sure they sat down and ate first before she fed herself. 🤍
Bullshit. This is child abuse. She is using drugs, these kids are being sold out for sex, she is using this show to get money, she should be in jail. Dont be stupid. These kids are probably not even hers. They are her meal ticket. Tney sbould be taken by CPS immediately. I hope they watch this.
I'm sorry but you have to take people's words at face value. All you know about her is what she told you.ive met people before that I would bet my last dollar that they were good people and they were just good at covering up the bad parts probably to get what they want. Narcissists are good at that. So keep on believing what you hear. She can be mommy dearest for all you know.there sure are a lot of gullible people out there.She could be a meth smoking abuser that's just good at doing whatever it takes to get what she wants.
She is so kind, with beautiful heart and beautiful kids. Please donate for this family. I'm watching from Greece soft white underbelly for a year and this interview was so moving.
Hi Mark. This video is a wake up call for people to appreciate what they have. People are a paycheck away from this heartbreaking situation. God bless you Mark.
@@michaelcavallacci2945 the culture we live in today clearly doesn't value life. People say "FML" often as if it's not a big deal; people are shooting up schools and glorifying abortion which can be viewed as not caring about children at all. So, yes, to some those words are common sense, but to others they're not. And to hear a woman who is living on skid row with her children say these words shows she values life and not things. I pray her and her children have a bright future as well.
Most all people get turned down the first time they apply for disability, even the most severely disabled don’t usually get it until the 2nd time. So, if she needs it I hope she keeps trying. Her children are beautiful and seem so well behaved…I hope the very best for this family.
The main issue is not how disabled you are really, it is how much medical documentation you have, if you have a long history of going to many various doctors, diagnoses, many medications, and consistency, along with documentation for all of it, then it isn't difficult to get approved, this is how I got approved the first time with no issues. It is a major problem when you are very poor to begin with and can't afford to go see all these different doctors and consistently take medications and obtain documentation.
Why can't she apply for unemployment benefits , food stamps and child benefit. She said she can't get disability but those other things will help support her she needs to apply get the ball rolling.
It’s so true, the system is meant to keep you down. Just keep fighting. Usually the 3rd or 4th time, with tons of documents and history, you get approved. I’m still fighting for it and am super sick. My doctor said “you basically have to be at deaths door to be approved”. Crazy.
These children are beautiful, they look clean and healthy and I really liked how the mom talked and presented herself. I just saw the other video where they got an RV. I just pray they get to her Uncles and get the children situated in one place.God bless this family.
It’s amazing how this community of subscribers comes together. She’s already received over $2000 in donations on the go fund me! I pray we can get them out of this situation.
HOW is she so together & clear??? I’m too anxious to do anythin, and so tired... And I wish I could help, but I’m 5 minutes from eviction myself, over here in Finland.. But sending love and strength to EVERYONE🖤 You’re a beautiful soul and a great mama!!!❤️🥰❤️ Those kids are lucky to have you as their mother🤗
@@suchabadkitty1293 she’d kill someone over them babies. The oldest probably helps her a lot. She’s so mature and just sitting there taking all this in. My heart breaks for this family.

this woman is incredible. what an amazing, strong, beautiful, and inspirational person. her children are so blessed to have such a wonderful woman as their mother.
Awesome how she stays cool and loving whilst her kids are hanging around her left and right and she just keeps talking without problems. She is a great mom that i´m sure of. Her story with the hospital bills is a typical "it could happen to you too" example. I hope she gets what she needs and have the resources to give her kids a chance at a great future. I see her succeeding 100%.

Mom is fully engaged with the interview, but yet keeps her eye on her babies. All the respect to this momma and her dedication to her children. Thousands of well to do parents should take notes from this woman. Keep pushing momma❤
No thank you, i married a man who worked for a living never would the kids go hungry, BUT THEN after a accident or whatever iF YOU ARE LOW INCOME IN AMERICA YOU GET SHELTER AND FOOD STAMPS,
Being dragged by a truck driver, never getting justice, losing your job and lively hood over an accident WITH young children is unbelievably heartbreaking yet she’s so positive. It’s incredible. I truly hope they get the home or RV they need to have a more stable life. She’s done such an incredible job with what she has and I’m truly rooting for them 🙏🏽
People should never loose everything because of hospital bills. Cheers from canada
Wtf is CPS doing in California?
@@DivinityAwakened absolutely nothing. Look up Gabriel Fernandez.
Who took care of the kids while she was in the hospital?
Are you sure her story is legit?
Marisa might be homeless, but she's rich in love, spirit, clarity. And her children are beautiful! What a great momma !
Well said nene bee 💖
This is a great mother?
Great mother?! No talk of getting a job in the whole 15 minute interview. A great mother (or father) provides.
@@anttucc9646 How do you suggest she handle childcare in order to work?
A parent provides.
The true embodiment of a mother. Resilient for her children. These kids know they're loved.
Mark: what a rough life now
Marisa: we're blessed, we're alive, we're together
Made me cry, she's so inspiring and I wish her and her beautiful kids to be well.
Her optimism touched my heart deeply. She’s definitely a wonderful mother.
Fuck that hit me hard that's unconditional love ❤️
Prime example of children not needing a perfect parent just a present parent 💖
God bless this beautiful little family
Absolutely
true!!
Truuueeee!!!
Not true if present parent is abusive
some people look down on her for keeping her kids wit her but you don’t understand how much them babies are going to love and respect their mom for not giving them up and allowing them to stick wit her thru it all
And we all know the froster care system is terrible. They kill and lose children all the time. They are actually safer with her. It’s heartbreaking that is the case.
My family was considering chronically homeless growing up. There were 6 of us she drug along with her across the country from homeless shelter to homeless shelter. I witnessed my first murder when I was 8. All these horrible events I went through being homeless could have been prevented if my mom would have just allowed us to stay with family. I still have horrible ptsd and every time my lease comes up I become a complete mess. I haven’t been homeless since I was 14 but the possibility still scares the shit out of me.
NOOO, NO! These children deserve a better start in life. Stop with feeling sorry for the mom. Give those kids the best start possible OR they will be on skid row forever.
@@gracejones2831 just because you are poor doesn't mean you're Shit! By the way she talks, she takes care of her kids. A lot of people are ONE paycheck away from being homeless.
@bigbuttvampire
Well said exactly just cause someones homeless it don't mean their bad parent it's a situation anyone can be in at any moment tbf
I'm just surprised the government don't help single homeless parent with more than 2-3 kids ..wtf 👀 in UK they would have a hostel room in a family unit with cooking facilities etc and then put on a housing register. We have like bands in the UK
Band 1 band 2 band 3 etc
And to me shes a priority with all those kids idk how the UK housing would see it but that's my personal opinion. She's doing a great job
Sending positive vibes to everyone 🙏🏾
All her children are beautiful and what she said is so real if you lose them you never get them back.
These children are very well behaved!!!! This is such an amazing story and shows how strong women can be !
11:14 She's the embodiment of this saying, "Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional" - many of us have much to learn from her. I love her spirit.
AMEN !! The joy and smiles on these sweet kids faces says who she is as a Mother. Just Beautiful .. praying she can get back on her feet and know she will be showered with abundant blessings of health and financial freedom
🤣
No, suffering is inevitable
That little girl with the blue hair stands out to me. She reminds me of my young self. She’s by her mom side this entire time listening and talking in information. She going to over come all off this! Please keep us updated on their progress please!
Same, what a gem of a lil girl she is so beautiful.
Right. & my name is Erika. & I’ve been thru a lot w. My mom. As well as my 3 children now. I love the moms attitude so much. This episode. Touched me💕
I think it's a little boy brooklyn💙
This woman deserves home. She deserves a happy ending!
She was pronounced dead on the scene yet she’s alive. Ma’am you are a miracle. Praying the Lords continues to cover you. Your testimony is amazing.
But the "Lord" didn't cover her from being hit by the car, did he? 🥴
@@MARKHENSTROM And being so in debt with medical bills she becomes homeless with two kiddos! The lord is good, AMEN. 😂
If that’s the outcome I’d rather not survive the accident.
@@missfortune8553 4 KIDDOS actually.
@@missfortune8553 Right? These people praising a man made deity for giving them a crap life with nothing but trials. Unreal.

That people can STILL believe in "the gods"...what a trip.
What a bunch of beautiful well behaved children! I'm from Canada where this woman and her children would be living in subsidized housing receiving $2200/month on social assistance and another $2500/month on Child Tax Benefits as well as full medical, dental, vision and prescription coverage. She would also be eligible to visit her local food bank once a week where she'd be given at least 4 large boxes of groceries for a family of her size. What is wrong with the USA???
Hahahahaha wow
There is obviously more to the story than she is telling. It is easy to get medical, and food benefits in America. Housing takes time sometimes but it can be done.
@@Hi-bl8rm depends on the state broski I live in a state where it’s easy to get it but that’s bc everything else is working she lives in Cali so I can imagine that everybody is trying to get gov. benefits and assistance so i can see why it’s hard 4 her
The USA only cares about 1 thing.
No exaggeration? That's... a LOT (in comparison to the US) of assistance. Wow.
You can tell she takes care of those kids. They are so well behaved and the chunkiest cheeks! She's doing her best. I hope she is able to get the help she needs. She deserves it just because she's been through so much and still stays so positive. Bless her.
Amen.
Yes, this is a precious family.
Trauma can mellow kids too
Now this is someone to set up in a home and help. Period. She needs it and deserves it sounds like👍
I agree!
Agree
@@ashleygeorge6267 AGREE
Yes! Help someone who wants their kids to be in a better position and actually willing to put in the work! God bless her
What about the thousands and thousands of other people who need help?? She's not the only one. Who decides?
When all the kids were rolling around the floor and playing, I realise that I'm actually smiling without knowing it. Such a humble little family. I hope they find some sort of permanent housing that's large enough for them all to give them all personal space.
Her kids are SO sweet, I can’t imagine what they’ve had to go through but props to their mama for keeping them together
Smh moms get props for anything. Homeless with 4 kids, a Dad would've gotten his children ripped from him and society would eat him alive

I'll wait for the information.
She gets it; “your children are your jewels.” Amen, sister!
Amen!
No she doesn’t get it, she got knocked up 4 times. Kids aren’t miracles it the way things work
@@lolux6577 That’s your perspective, not hers.
such a wonderful quote, yes they are, the are precious blessings from heaven
No, she doesn’t “get” anything. She’s having children but she’s incapable of taking care of them let alone herself.
She loves her babies so much and you can tell they love her too. Made me cry. Good luck mama.
How can I get to the level of her soul? She is so elevated. She is enlightened.
Hearing her say "I'm blessed" just made me burst into tears.
Me too!!
Me three ❤
Gurl...these onions! She touched my Soul!
"I got my kids with me, what more could you ask for?" Wow, I admire her outlook.
Better than all the drug addicts who prefer the high
“Yes and i will drag them down with me because I’m lonely and feel like a failure” what a great mom 👍🏼
@@9roselove9 wow, I don’t recall hearing her say she’s lonely and feels like a failure. I do recall her saying she lost her job and home when she was almost killed and injured in a horrific accident. I also heard her say she currently has shelter, a helping family member, and goals of a home to call her own. I heard her say the father of her children is assumed dead, and I heard her say she’s blessed although she doesn’t have material possessions that most of us take for granted. I’ve made it a goal of mine to assume good intentions from everyone before jumping to my own conclusions. Your remark seems calloused and cold to say the least. That being said, I won’t assume your comment was intentionally hurtful or malicious. Perhaps I read it wrong. These kids appear to be healthy, happy, and loving. Their mother stated she has never touched drugs. I’d deduce from the information given, that her difficulties are the product of extremely bad occurrences that were beyond her control. From where I’m sitting, 4 children seeing their loving mother refuse to give up and determined to do everything she can to improve their lives is a great example. Especially given the uncertainty that taking kids from their mother and handing them over to “the system” can create. (Sexual abuse, physical abuse, splitting them up, etc.) Furthermore, she’s suffered enough and she’s still trying… so how would taking that which she cherishes most in this world away from her be a step in the right direction? Finally, I hope if you ever experience a fraction of the harsh realities this kind hearted woman has been forced to endure, that no one is too quick to judge you, or your circumstances, and that instead of harshness you are met with kind, loving, helpful attitudes that will help you become whole again. Have a great day. ❤️
@@9roselove9 you're right. She is a great mom. Thanks for acknowledging it. All that extra stuff sounds like projection.
@@scharigee2966 projection? How i have no kids and my mom never let us be homeless or anything like that. I grew up great and my parents loved me…so this is awkward..
I know her ...She is a good person...and she loves her kids I helped with what I could. She just had had her youngest. My son was 3/4 months and I blessed her with so much baby stuff. Sad to see she's still in this situation. PATH was supposed to help her with housing. I will continue praying for her and her precious kids. God will make a way Missy 🙏🏾😇❣️
Her children are so well behaved. What an amazing mom doing everything she can to keep her babies safe despite her having nothing, she certainly keeps a safe place for her babies to see she is trying to make a better life for them. I pray she gets blessed with a home very soon. 💙

You're right, but thats why it pays to have a good family that could help in a dire situation. Her babies are gorgeous.
@@LivingForTMH not everybody is blessed to have a big caring family
@@peoplesht322 I know and thats what needs to be fixed. People need to start taking care of their children instead of throwing them on the street. My family is shitty and would throw me on the street, but, I changed the way I take care of my kids. I'm breaking the cycle.
i need these interviews. the other day when i got home, i went ballistic because they messed up my order from the nastiest tasting burger joint. It's hard to watch at times
@@NBUltra187 what?
Damn. This is the first one that really got me. She reminds us all that it isn’t only drugs, crime or mental illness to end up homeless. Or less of home. When I was a single mother of a 2 yr old having just left her Dad, it took me 2 months living with family and friends. I finally found an apartment in my budget. And a daycare that would have to be affordable because I couldn’t get to the other ones before 5:30p from work. One month of missing a paycheck, and I would’ve been done. In a town that really really does not like the homeless.
Marisa reminds her kids of how many blessings they have. To be together. And she calls them “jewels” to be cherished, that can’t ever be replaced. Those babies are clean, well-fed and educated. Cared for and loved. That goes a hell of a long way in my book. Her devotion and fortitude are beyond admirable. ❤
Yes! More homeless mothers with children on your platform please. It's a dire problem in California.
They are being overlooked by the community and organizations that should be allocating resources.
Thank you for giving them a voice. ❤
@@user-rr8vj9dq9s I was born and raised in California. I've experienced homelessness first hand. Which is why I allocate my own resources and funding to MY COMMUNITY. Many organizations recieve funding and run with the money. Along with discriminatory practices that prevent certain ethnic groups from receiving help. The government naturally plays a huge part but the people working within these organizations are at fault as well.
But I digress.
@@pressncurl Yeah theres a lot of scamming going on with all the "help" out there.
It'a a dire problem IN AMERICA.

The fact that she knows she's still blessed....she still sees the light. Strong. Prayers for this family.
What an amazing woman! The world could learn a lot from her. May God bless her and her family and keep them safe.
Her babies are stunning, someone please help this family. I live in australia, if i could help her i would. So many wealthy people in America, and yet so much poverty. CRAZY
Damn this was my mom 20 years ago with 5 kids living motel to motel & the homeless shelter until we were in middle school she finally got herself together ❤ I can't thank my mother so much for keeping me, my sisters, & brother together through out all the hard times. Those kids will forever admire there mother, you can tell she loves her babies 💕
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing
How tough to live this way. Who knows the real story- it sounds like before the car accident she was already struggling. My hope is for the kids to find a stable life and mom.
She's a remarkable woman for persevering through such troubling times. I truly wish the best for her and her kids.

Those kids are so cute. You can tell she is a good mom who just fell into a bad situation. I hope she gets some funds to help get back on track.
Her attitude is such a stark contrast to many that we hear on this channel. And in life. She could so easily take a victim mentality with everything she's been through, but she truly feels blessed. So many people wear their trauma as a badge of honour and become defined by it. I wish I had a fraction of her strength.
She is such a survivor and the little ones look clean, well fed and tidy. Shes doing a great job and I hope things improve for her x
@Carol Spencer I see, alert, and curious children. Their body language speaks a sense of security and trust.
To do the acceptable thing, placing them with relatives or in foster care would mean separation trauma for mother and children. And the risk of the unspeakable at the hands of the most despicable of creatures.
She took a gamble, and so far, it looks so good.
@@JimiBegbaaji These children have been on LAs Skid Row. That is NOWHERE for children!

All of her kids are super-cute. I hope things get better for them.
One should not get kids if you can not take care of them/if you are not mature. May sound harsch I know

What a positive role model for her children even through all her struggles and setbacks...inspirational
I hope she gets assistance with those 4 children... that is probably such a hard and stressful situation. God Bless you and those precious, linnocent children
She needs to get off skid row.. or thatll never be reality.. she is addicted to harsh things and needs to go north and detox while she works the farms up north to do it.. otherwise she will always pretend victim and use.
I misread as assassinated
She’s so positive about it and I’m just happy she has her uncle to help her. I truly hope they get that home or RV 🙏🏽
Right, the mother seems to have good intentions however in this case you gotta protect the children and shelter them/move them elsewhere immediately while she can try getting her life on the rails again.
@@dertythegrower She said she doesn't even smoke, so I'm confused, where did she say she used drugs?
Don't kick this poor woman while she's struggling. 🥺
It’s hard to have words for this.. she should receive help with no questions asked. No matter country of origin they are CHILDREN.
If cps was any good in that state, she would be detoxing far from her kids on a farm, and her kids should be taken to a farm also, not skid row
@@dertythegrower that implies that she is lying as she said drugs are not part of her life.

She deserves EVERY blessing possible and I hope she gets each and everyone she has coming her way.
Mark, I am just in tears. Thank you for helping to channel positive energy into this family’s life.
This is how I ended up homeless with my two children. Hospital bills from my youngest child being chronically ill. It took us 2 years to get back on our feet. This pandemic almost put us back on the streets. Thank goodness friends and family came through to help us get by for a few months. Once I got back on my feet again, first thing I did was pay everyone back. It’s so easy to end up in these situations in the USA. There is no real safety net. Medical and welfare refused to help us even though we are all US citizens. So, this country is a total joke when it comes to helping those who are truly in need.
Yes, I agree but they send billions to other countries while our citizens are desperate for help and can’t get it. Disgusting!
That’s crazy. Iam glad you had help from friends & family❤️
You're so resilient and strong ❤
Only the illegals and other countries get our tax money. Not a woman like this and these little angels. Shitting awful system bent on destroying families
@mydizzymelody. That’s a blessing that your family helped you with your situation. There’s this guy name Isaiah I’ve watched on RUclips, and he helps out the homeless by giving them money and doing a go fund me page for individuals that were homeless and give them a apartment. Isaiah was once homeless. And he gives back to the community. And he does way more than the government itself.
The fact that this mother hasn’t disown her kids and crumble she’s beautiful.
She needs a gofundme. I’ll donate. More than once. God bless her
Hi - there is a go fund me link under the video to donate and help her
We can all learn a lot from her perspective of life. I like that she made the point - you have to watch your children NO MATTER where you’re at. Predators are everywhere! High and low places. May her and her children continue to be blessed ❤
THIS MOM IS AMAZING just holding their world together best she can.
She is a prime example of a good mother! Never give up I’m praying for you! I’m from New Mexico I’m so sorry you were hit by a car GOD is good you will come out on top!
These children are beautiful. I hope they get the assistance they need and have a great outcome in life.
She has the sweetest kids. When I was in LA during covid one of the groups I worked with (mission echo) volunteers on skid row a lot and we were able to donate & help this family then. You can’t forget her face or her kids…So sad they’re still in this situation, but she is so strong and I’m always amazed at how she takes cares of the kids and puts them first before herself. Praying they all get in a home/stable situation soon.
Awww is she still in the streets
?? Do.you know How I cam donate to her??!
13:35 “I thought I was better that anybody. God brought me down a notch”. Thank you for your story Marissa. God brought Me down too. Took my house my marriage my children my dignity and had to start all over again. I still don’t have my children but you do. You are blessed 😇🙏🏼💖
Ruth I don't want to butt In and I don't wAnt to be nosey. What happened if I May ask. I'm so sorry you don't have your babies. I hurt for you. I don't have any children. Your comments were so sweet but made me sad too. You look like a beautiful lady.
Why don’t you have your kids????
@@SkybabyandStar well looking at her only other comment on this Channel she commented on a male stripper heart eyes. She most likely is a bad mother not there for her kids looking for sympathy on the internet while she goes on dates with other men. Probably cheated on her husband to.
This breaks my heart I wish Mama and those BEAUTIFUL babies the best and praying for their safety!! You can tell she loves and protects them and she will be blessed ♥️
Man, if I knew this lady and she was around my town I'd bless her with so many things to help her. She is going through rough times with her kids and she is still so positive and realizes how blessed 🙌 she is. I hope everything works out how she'd like. It can always be worse and she knows that. I really hope it gets better for them
These are the cases that need more attention. These examples need to be brought up more when elected officials are making laws and deciding how money is spent. No one, ESPECIALLY A CHILD, should be homeless.
I don't even understand how we can sit here and talk about homeless children!
It's beyond insane!
The smallest one is two years old for crying out loud!
America, the home of the free.
The country everyone is dreaming about.
Not me.
I'm so EXTREMELY thankful that I don't live there because this is just so horrible I'm almost lost for words. This doesn't happen in my country.
If I lived there, I'd take them in today.
I only have one guestrooms but the children could get bunk beds and the mother could sleep on the couch.
But in my opinion those children should go to school. They need a place to go to outside where they live, especially in this situation.
She has tried hard to take care of her children. What happened to can happen to anyone. She is articulate and powerful but many homeless are mentally ill. Where is the government. Where is Elon musk? So many billionaires. How many homeless those billions take care of? The police won't help them. They just chase them away. Where I live you have to line up for a bed in the Salvation army. If they get in it costs $7 a night. Why isn't free?
They dgaf of anything but profits no matter who you elect it's the same shit interest interest interest if they cared about the people and the environment they would've done something long ago they could do it got the money and power for it
I work at a shelter in FL and have the privilege of knowing some amazing folks experiencing homelessness. Getting to know people can really change perspectives and open hearts. Wishing love to this family. Thanks again for sharing these, Mark.
Substance abuse, why not mention that is a huge reason shelters exist..
Its mostly not nice people.. i have lived it.. in oregon and florida also, even as a kid. Substances that numb from the street are the main culprit.
@@dertythegrower Yep....homelessness is usually the result of poor decisions....not misfortune.
@@wel722 I agree completely. all of this rubs me the wrong way. There are RUclipsrs to look into who have some info about Aura/ Amanda/SWU….
I never comment but wow this lady and her children are beautiful inside and out with that gratitude and mentality she will make it work for her babies what a beautiful sole she is
She’s real! She would always stop by my Cafe and order hot packaged food. She was never rude!
Always called me sweetie & had manners. Everyday I would still see her, carrying a bunch of groceries she could barley carry and a stroller with one of her kids. Walking her 4 little babies making sure they’re all in her sight. Never saw her with any man helping her, Always doing everything solo.
She has so much patience for all her kids, always get each of them the same attention and made sure they sat down and ate first before she fed herself. 🤍
this is touching. definitely one of my favorite episodes. Praying for this good momma and her kids. ❤️
She kept all the beautiful kids with her, she deserves better life, if nothing, for being such a great mom 🤗
Bullshit. This is child abuse. She is using drugs, these kids are being sold out for sex, she is using this show to get money, she should be in jail. Dont be stupid. These kids are probably not even hers. They are her meal ticket. Tney sbould be taken by CPS immediately. I hope they watch this.
Do “great moms” bring their kids to skid row? Think about it....
Nothing beautiful about children living in trauma! This is how the cycle continues
I'm sorry but you have to take people's words at face value. All you know about her is what she told you.ive met people before that I would bet my last dollar that they were good people and they were just good at covering up the bad parts probably to get what they want. Narcissists are good at that. So keep on believing what you hear. She can be mommy dearest for all you know.there sure are a lot of gullible people out there.She could be a meth smoking abuser that's just good at doing whatever it takes to get what she wants.
You are delusional. W with 4 innocent kids on skid row is a great mom huh................rigggggggghhhhhhhht.
She’s a far, far better mom than the one I had. Wishing this family the very best.
Ditto on that !!!
I love her positive attitude & the way she’s loving towards her children.
She is so kind, with beautiful heart and beautiful kids.
Please donate for this family.
I'm watching from Greece soft white underbelly for a year and this interview was so moving.
Hi Mark. This video is a wake up call for people to appreciate what they have. People are a paycheck away from this heartbreaking situation. God bless you Mark.
She will get through this. Those children are so blessed to have such a strong mother.
I need an update on Marissa and her children. She is an amazing Mother!
She is something else. Such resilience. Inspiring. As a mother and a woman I am deeply inspired.
"The life is number one; the kids are number one as well." Wow! Message sis!! Preach! Definitely praying for this woman and her beautiful children.
That’s like saying “ the sky is blue “. A simple phrase. Nothing profound.
I wish her and kids well.
@@michaelcavallacci2945 the culture we live in today clearly doesn't value life. People say "FML" often as if it's not a big deal; people are shooting up schools and glorifying abortion which can be viewed as not caring about children at all. So, yes, to some those words are common sense, but to others they're not. And to hear a woman who is living on skid row with her children say these words shows she values life and not things. I pray her and her children have a bright future as well.
@@SandraHernandez-ih8bo I don’t think there is a single person on this planet that “ glorifies” abortion. I agree with the other things you said.
Most all people get turned down the first time they apply for disability, even the most severely disabled don’t usually get it until the 2nd time. So, if she needs it I hope she keeps trying. Her children are beautiful and seem so well behaved…I hope the very best for this family.
She needs a house & $$$ for a disability lawyer & paper trail from doctors. I hope this lil family gets the help they need.
The main issue is not how disabled you are really, it is how much medical documentation you have, if you have a long history of going to many various doctors, diagnoses, many medications, and consistency, along with documentation for all of it, then it isn't difficult to get approved, this is how I got approved the first time with no issues. It is a major problem when you are very poor to begin with and can't afford to go see all these different doctors and consistently take medications and obtain documentation.
You both are right…I never even thought about those things. It sounds so overwhelming and like such an uphill battle…
Why can't she apply for unemployment benefits , food stamps and child benefit.
She said she can't get disability but those other things will help support her she needs to apply get the ball rolling.
It’s so true, the system is meant to keep you down. Just keep fighting. Usually the 3rd or 4th time, with tons of documents and history, you get approved. I’m still fighting for it and am super sick. My doctor said “you basically have to be at deaths door to be approved”. Crazy.
those are some of the most beautiful little children I've ever seen - I hope they find peace and solace in life.
These children are beautiful, they look clean and healthy and I really liked how the mom talked and presented herself. I just saw the other video where they got an RV. I just pray they get to her Uncles and get the children situated in one place.God bless this family.
Her heart and soul are in the right place, I really hope she gets the help he needs.
It’s amazing how this community of subscribers comes together. She’s already received over $2000 in donations on the go fund me! I pray we can get them out of this situation.
It's so beautiful to see! I think donations for Marissa and the kids now a little over $4100. One for Humanity today👏👏👏
Donation doesn't solve poverty , teach her a skill
Good. This makes my heart smile.
@@CC-me6yh which addiction does she had? she said she doesn't do drugs
@@CC-me6yh She doesn't do drugs. Not every homeless person does, and it's pretty shiddy for you to assume.
HOW is she so together & clear??? I’m too anxious to do anythin, and so tired... And I wish I could help, but I’m 5 minutes from eviction myself, over here in Finland.. But sending love and strength to EVERYONE🖤 You’re a beautiful soul and a great mama!!!❤️🥰❤️ Those kids are lucky to have you as their mother🤗
The oldest child looks like she has already seen far too much for a 9 year old😭❤️
Yes🥹
Yeah LA Skid Row? I hate to think what those kids have seen. UGH.
And I fear for her trying to keep those 2 girls safe...if you know what I'm saying. 🤦🏻♀️
@@suchabadkitty1293 100%, the older they get too the worse that problem will probably get as well😭 people are sick.
@@suchabadkitty1293 she’d kill someone over them babies. The oldest probably helps her a lot. She’s so mature and just sitting there taking all this in. My heart breaks for this family.
I love her she has such fortitude. The kids have incredible hair colors ❤️
The kids are beautiful and well behaved, says a lot about her as a mama, even in spite of her hardships. Mama is a light, I hope she gets on her feet again.
this woman is incredible. what an amazing, strong, beautiful, and inspirational person. her children are so blessed to have such a wonderful woman as their mother.
I would love to see a follow up! This woman is truly amazing!
Awesome how she stays cool and loving whilst her kids are hanging around her left and right and she just keeps talking without problems. She is a great mom that i´m sure of. Her story with the hospital bills is a typical "it could happen to you too" example. I hope she gets what she needs and have the resources to give her kids a chance at a great future. I see her succeeding 100%.
So crazy I seen her walking in downtown with her kids , I was so concerned for her . Her kids holding eachother 1 by one holding hands . Poor babies . God protect them always 💗🙏
Im not sure how anyone could watch any content from this channel and still believe in a god. Why would a god allow this abuse and suffering, to children, like the sexual abuse stories on here, incest, i just dont understand. Some god.
@@stephaniebenitex1232 k? lol when did i say someone chooses to be in the streets?
Are you just completely ignoring every single thing i said?
I essentially said this channel is proof there is no God.
What kind of a shit God would allow this much human suffering, children getting physically and sexually abused, trafficked, i mean you ignored everything i said.
How can anyone watch anything on here and still believe in a god, its insane.
@@0Tyson0 Everything in the universe obeys the same law 1+1=1. Your body is a fractal, of a larger fractal inside a larger fractal. If you break down what makes the body you will find smaller fractals inside other fractals inside other fractals. So when you say GOD you don’t actually know what you are referring to because you don’t know yourself. You may have an idea because of what someone else said about it, but the truth can only be realized. 🫵 Have a brain just like everybody else….so what’s your problem(….)
@@justsaiyan8678 god doesnt exist, end of discussion. This isnt up for debate. If you believe in a god you should be institutionalized.
@@0Tyson0 there is evil. Evil is real, and evil causes all of the pain, fear, lies, and all of the ugliness in the world. There is good and evil. God is not evil.
What precious children! Love Marisa’s positivity and especially what she said about the lessons she’s learned. So true. God bless.
She such a strong and amazing woman and mother. I praise her for doing everything she can to protect her kids and getting her life back together. She deserve the world!
The interaction between Mom and her children is precious.....they deserve the best! Please keep us updated!!
5:18 the 3 kids smiling at each other... cute
She hit it on the head at the end.. Thank you for showing us this positive precious woman and her beautiful children. I hope that her life and her children's futures blossom..
Those children are beautiful! I pray that she and her babies are doing well. Keep your head up mama! God will bless you...keep your faith!
“ we’re blessed we’re still alive and still together “ WOW. Lord if I’m ever ungreatful for what I have please humble me. This is such a sad story but she is so uplifting.
And humble me too 🙏🏼
Absolutely 💯
