That, ladies and gentlemen, is a live, flesh and blood demonstration of a real problem. A real crisis in America that needs addressed. That needs attention. Not your preferred pronouns. Not how violated you feel over "words". Not how "your truth" is being assaulted.. Not "mean tweets"..
EXACTLY! Thank you for stating absolute Truth!
Reality
I hate to sound political here but politics is a big factor. Democrats are letting drugs pour across the border with their nearly open borders policies and drugs are probably one of the biggest causes of homelessness.
Amen

Prayers for all the homeless. I was homeless in California a few years with small children and was also pregnant during the few months we hid on the streets or stayed in campgrounds because the shelter was more dangerous than camping...I thank God I was able to get into an apartment eventually. I hope she finds shelter and a better life someday. Being homeless with children is a living nightmare especially in a state that has no compassion for those with out a home.
How did you get the apartment not to be noisy but is even hard for that I have money to get a place because I don’t make enough money
I don't understand why extra staff is not available to keep things safe and put the trouble makers out. This shelter was negligent in order for you to feel safer on the streets. This should not have happened to you.
@@asafaust8869
It didn’t.
There are so many flipping programs it’s ridiculous.
@@jamesclint2338 & I'm going to guess that you've either never had to be on the street or else you were one of the lucky few that had friends or family who helped you. If you've never been there, you have no right to be smarting off about any of it.
@@asafaust8869 I've been all over the country over the years and it's mostly safer to live on the street than it is to stay at a shelter, no matter what state you're in. Either they make it mandatory to attend church to get a bed and a plate of food, you have your things stolen while you're asleep, (or worse), &/or you have to leave the shelter no matter what the weather is like at 6-7 am and then have no place to go for the day.
Man I’m working and doordashing everyday to not be homeless my rent went up $500 I literally lost my mind. Then boom a mechanic took advantage of me and now I don’t have a car to doordash. I do surveys anything I can do to make money. I refuse to give up. I have a son depending on me. I am praying and praying for these families. This could be me.
When u retire, better go somewhere out of the country. Your retirement money will go a long way.
Rent here where I live, cheapest is 1k for a bachelor suite. House is a million.. Average. It's getting too crazy. Too much. I'll never go to school because I'll never be able to afford it
It's insane. I am a single mom and with all of the covid situations and kids home alot and my health, holding a regular job doesn't work at all and zero child support, I used to Uber because it could work around my schedule but I won't qualify for that anymore. I just signed up for Doordash again but not sure if it's worth it with the gas prices here. My situation is scary too I hope thus lady got help and that you're able to keep going. I know I'm always praying dor miracles to make it and it's stressful.
Do you mean to say that a mechanic took your money but didn't fix your car?
@@myendlesslove5120 I am looking for those types of countries now. Researching. I would actually love to leave in about 5 years or so
This is a total outrage! In a civilised, wealthy powerful country for this level of homelessness to exist is a crime against humanity.
Its nauseating.
This is democrat party idea for as to be....desperate,homeless,sick...death Biden and Harris was your choice....and even today democrat voters have the stupidity to say better Biden then Trump
Totally agree. It's an outrage for a country like America.
Oh I’m sorry so this all happened in one year? What a stupid comment. This has been going on for years and your comment means nothing and is helpful to no one Michaela
How would you fix it?
@@aarongranda7825 Before anything else there has to be a WILL to resolve it by those in government.
Homelessness is complex, in that it's the result of many issues. So 1st you need a plan. That will include addressing social, psychological, health & financial issues.
Take a look at how Finland resolved, yes, resolved their homeless problem.
It is of course different to USA but a great deal of their approach could work.
My heart goes out to this lady and all of the homeless people out there. You can say what you want to about homeless people, but until you have been there; you have no idea how hard it is. Not everyone chooses to be homeless contrary to what some people think. Missing two paychecks put my wife and I on the street 8 years ago.. And it was a hard road getting back on our feet. These people need a hand up , not a slap down.
You're right
Amen
But isn’t there section 8 or EDD if you’re out of work?
@@duydinh678 the waiting list for those types of benefits are devastatingly so far away you would be fooling yourself if you are homeless and signed up for that.... I think that they should cord off some zoning for tiny house villages for the homeless and allow them to work within the village with each other kind of like a small compound that is self-sufficient to the extent that they can make their own way and have their own little economy and allow them the opportunity to join the bigger society when they are ready... Frequent drug test should be given just like when you're on probation and if you fail then you get kicked out for however long. But I do think that's the cheapest cleanest alternative is the setup a tiny house compond
Why can't some of your money go out to help her?
Man you don’t know how torn I am. We have people that need help but some don’t need it and receive it. California looks like a dump because of camps like this. Idk how we’re giving countries billions of dollars but can’t take care of our own 🤦🏽♂️. This is not about left or right it’s about what’s morally right hope everyone has safe holidays next to their loved ones 🙏.
Have you ever gone out and volunteered on the weekends to pick up abandoned homeless camps? Do that a couple times and you’ll no longer be torn.
@@edhcb9359 worked in San Francisco where one of the largest homeless encampments is. I got in many fights, weapons pulled on me, found needles and it’s still common sense to say not every person is the same. Like you asking me a stupid question assuming I have no idea of what’s going on. Have fun with your keyboard don’t stay up to late your mom has to work in the morning.
@@ltx383 Doesn’t sound to me like you are really torn after all.
Very true or Gov system is all messed up they want to help everyone except the people in their own back yard. I believed in my country and now I see it as all other countries. Corrupt Corrupt!!!!
@@edhcb9359 torn between morality and your stupidity absolutely not. There will always be a moron with something slick to say with no factual information. Now run along and play.
My heart goes out to this woman. I see you. Your experience is valid. You deserve assistance and a safe space to live.
No. She needs to stop the drugs, stop having kids she can't afford and CLEAN UP HER DISGUSTING MESS.
Self Responsibility has become forgotten.
If we sat with her you could literally see all her mistakes that she ignored...LIKE MAKING BABIES WITH MEN WHO ABUSE OR CAN'T SUPPORT HER AND THEIR CHILDREN.
This is heartbreaking. It's already extremely expensive to be a human in America, and good people like her are stuck in an endless loop of poverty. We can be better than this here in the land of opportunity and freedom.
Those "in charge" have made it nearly impossible. And it's not as free as it used to be. When you're a single mom and childcare is limited it is so hard to be able to hold work and even when you do you can't make enough to make it.
Yeah.... lol, like let millions of illegal aliens in to the country every few months to further tax our failing system lol. And those illegals will take the jobs that these people could have possibly worked at.
Vote better California, get liberal dumbacrats out of your states leadership !!!
"mtnbikr107" I don't know whether to say she is of the 'good" people. She seems to look like she has taken drugs and not for medication. That is what chronically homeless people tend to get into. What would be the way to help her? Give her a free home, free everything, a life of tons of welfare? That has created a lot of people who don't work and don't make the investment in them turn out to benefit the economy.
In this so called modern society this is a disgrace that people are living on the street. All governments in every country should be totally ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.
@Jay Dawg people make mistakes.
This is not a government problem. This is a people problem.
@Norberto Fontanez Arroyo nope. I'm a responsible adult that makes boring and sensible life decisions so me and my family are not a drag on society. So please excuse me if I don't have any sympathy for people that refuse to make good life decisions and cry about their situation. It's past time to put on adult pants and start acting like productive members of society.
My mom used to say " you reap what you sow".

Governments focuses should have been on people and their citizens wellbeing. Their focuses have made them drift off the path. Governments should measure their citizens wellbeing , by making sure those at the bottom financially are above the poverty line, if not they need to be. Shelter is a basic human right it should never have been turned into an investment commodity allowing over inflated house prices. There's nothing else to say, but that governments mostly, but not all, have dropped the ball when it comes to their citizens wellbeing. Somehow good people have to take the power back. Everything's so broken and going downhill. Only a return to God can fix it.
God help this woman and every person there I ask in Jesus name.
God help this woman. Amen.
Its so important to show empathy and compassion for those who are going through difficult times. Life can sometimes deal you a bad hand and sometimes the hand that's delt is not favorable. For those who find the strength to carry on I pray for you because its hard out here. This is a cold wicked, cynical world we live in and mercy is rarely shown to those who struggle. There's no love, no compassion, no sympathy for the broken and troubled. I pray that all who struggle improve their lives and the adverse conditions you live in. It changes in time, for the better, just don't give up. So many barely holding on to the little they have. In the so called richest country in the world, there should be no poverty or homelessness.
B.Allen..
You have summed it up honestly.. This is exactly what is taking place in America today, and those who govern live comfortable lives; they do not care about the people in need.
My heart goes out to this mom, I am a single mom have been in alot of trouble this past year also, I am fighting so hard not to be in that position. This woman is hurting and I hope she found help because of this report. This "in charge" are ruining this country and making it impossible for many to live.
So sad. This woman is only 46 and looks 66. I can only imagine all she’s been through to look this old. I hope she & her kids are doing ok🥺🙏🏼💕

Well said, be less conspicuous not to hide the problem but to keep safe and one step ahead.
Do you have a job? Have you tried to get your life together and get off the streets? There are churches and programs that will pay for your deposit to rent a place and utilities to get turned on, you just have to find them. I am a property manager and they pay new tenant's deposits to us all the time and this is in Florida, a republican state. I would assume the democrats would offer even more resources, or at least that's what they tell you. Nobody chooses to become homeless, but one can choose to STAY homeless. You can get out of that situation if you truly are not drinking/doing drugs. Start going to a church and they will help you, I guarantee you. If not, you need to get down to the Florida panhandle by any means possible. "90 works" will help you where I'm at. Idk if they're just local or if there's other locations. And everywhere is hiring. I mean like desperately seeking people... like restaurants having to shut down for 2 days out the week just to give the workers their days off, desperate. I'll be praying for you, brother.
@@nunyabidness6045 you shouldn’t have to go to church to receive help. The church should be actively helping the homeless instead of enriching their coffers for themselves.
That's what I was thinking. Maybe if they kept their stuff organized.
@@serenityb5816 I agree. You shouldn't have to go begging to anyone. We should not allow the economic system which not only perpetuates but depends on this form of suffering and injustice.
I just lost everything I ever owned in my life and I'm homeless although not living on the streets. I know the devistation she feels. When you feel nobody cares, its a horrible feeling. I pray God restores a new life to her with everything her and her kids need to live a life they deserve.

Peaches you move to Alabama and you won't be homeless nor penniless.
Homelessness in California has all the perks ! Great weather , liberturds giving handouts , lots of drugs everywhere , catch and release for crimes done and being illegal , tons of homeless neighbors , feces and urine stench in the air ! No need to move out of utopia called California . This place looks worse than the movie MADmax.

Why not get a job and try to be something? Stop looking for pity; your life is..... your life.

It’s despicable how the government and city officials treat the homeless. It’s like kicking a dog while it’s down. Absolutely unjustifiable!!!!!! Please God help these people!!

She needs an attorney to sue the ambulance company for refusing to take her to the hospital. That is shameful.
You can’t sue for that. She found a way there. She wasn’t bleeding to death on the street after being shot. She has pneumonia and found her way to the hospital. People want to try and sue over every frivolous thing that the judge would throw out in a second.

@@TheSpectrumGamR I've been in 3 and never seen that happen and most have cameras up the real reason why people don't go to homeless shelters is they have rules like you have a certain time to be in at night most times it's like 8 :00 pm
I know and a homeless shelter that I was living at a few years back they did alcohol and drug testing and if you tested for alcohol or drugs they kicked you
out and every shelter requires that you have a job or if you don't have a job you have to be looking for a job unless that you are disabled and cannot work then they require you to file for Social Security disability benefits
And every shelter has chores that you have to do lights sweeping mopping dusting in the summertime you have to cut grass or cut hedges clean the bathroom clean shower ect ECT. And once in a homeless shelter they hook you up to agencies to get you into a apartment that is how I got my apartment about 4 years ago
My rent lights water garbage is only 275.00 a month and I would have never got this apartment if I didn't go into a shelter because apartment is a lot warmer than living under a overpass Bridge somewhere where a person will get actually raped at

I feel so bad for her and this is so heartbreaking, no one needs to be homeless
Her choice. Poor problem solving skills. She's been out there for three years? and still can't find a place or a shelter or agency that will help her? Bull shit! She waits till the last minute when they are cleaning up the neighborhood and getting rid of the refuse, human and otherwise. Then she cries that no one will help her and her kids? The state should have rescued those kids long ago from the filthy rat infested hovel they were living in. Three years! Now she wants help and turns on the tears to try and get it. There are plenty of state resources that are available to help. But yes, there are rules. No Drugs, No Alcohol, Curfews, Daily chores, Counseling, etc. etc. But Noooo, "your not gonna tell me what to do" seems to be the prevailing attitude. She has spent most of her life Getting high and procrastinating, and letting others give her hand outs to take care of her kids, she parades them up front so people will feel sorry for them. Its pathetic. A single mother with minor children has tons of resources available to her in these times. Especially in Oregon. So don't buy it. Its all Bullshit. The tears, the act, There's prob not even any kids. Did you see any? No, They convieniently are not there that day. Some one else is watching over them. Which is prob every day. She just pulls 'em out when she needs them. I don't believe one bit of her tripe!

You people that sit here judging people in these conditions, blaming people, you are a huge part of the problem as well!! Stop solely blaming political parties! Because where politics created it, people with your prejudice attitude is why it continues!!
That's heartbreaking. I feel like I was gonna cry. That's true when she said it isn't fair. With her being sick and being released from the hospital makes it harder for her. It hurts seeing people suffer. I hope this holiday season, she receives a miracle. God bless her.
This story has left out huge portions. The nearby businesses and homes have been complaining about the filth, smell and noise for ages. Kids finding used drug needles and faeces scattered everywhere. Would you want to live or work next to this? They were using plastic rubbish bags to start fires. Burning tyres and leaving mounds of trash that would blow all over the place.
@@ukmedicfrcs then when this happens , it's
POOR US .
I agree with you because I have seen this over and over again
@@ukmedicfrcs So problem solved.
She’s sick from drug abuse. She chose this.
@@ukmedicfrcs first , it hasn't not been ages , the homeless community on commerce circle started about a year and a half ago .
The only houses are across the freeway and there should be no children in the area .
I know the bike path runs above and past there but I've never seen anything along that stretch .
If we're not truthful about it , we're not going to solve it .
Most of the crap that goes on in any homeless camp or area is passive aggression
😢 Sending prayers for you when your daughters🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
We need to help this lady.❤️
I feel terrible for this lady. She looks so stressed and sick. So sad. I’m so sorry this is happening to you. My heart aches for you and your family.
She is on drugs!
Disgusting piles of garbage outside the shithole her children sleep in. Just because you’re homeless doesn’t mean you have to live in a garbage dump.
This is so heartbreaking 💔 during the holiday season, where is the love? Where is the compassion and selflessness during this pandemic, where is the help? ☹️

This womans heartbreak and sadness is palpable, and for every story there is thousands more just like hers all across this country in every city in every town! The homeless situation is out of control in America! I dont know what they're to do where it's cold. Its been bitter cold in our area at night, there is not enough shelter in this town at all it has to be nearly impossible to stay warm. I cant imagine how they survive.
If you're homeless with kids you should be able to get accommodation by law
Doesn't look like it at least not if you're a citizen
By law? Is this communist China? By law?? Don’t have kids by law??
So sad 😔 some people have absolutely everything you can imagine, I just literally watched a celebrity buy a watch for 4 million dollars, in the same country mothers are torn from their children and homes and have nothing, something is just so wrong with this world, I pray that you receive the help you need and you and your girls are back together and have a home and this burden is lifted from your heart 🙏
But the celebrity worked for her money and had the opportunity to indulge herself - but somehow responsible for what has taken place - Good Greff Cry Me A River - you are blaming the wrong people -I think our government has more to do with homelessness and packing more on top of us
@@patriciamckinney2229 exactly. Give a man a fish; he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish; he feeds his family for a lifetime. How many of these people have actual 9 to 5 jobs? I bet not one of them. Go flip burgers, get a job history, change jobs, keep building skills and keep moving up. Minimum wage in CA is $15/hr - that is $31,200 yr. In SAC cheap rent is 800 to950/mth which is $9600- 11,400 per year. This leave you roughly $21K/year to live on which is better than living on the streets. That with food stamps, cash and medical gets you off the streets and your KIDS too. It's doable, but YOU must be the CHANGE. YOU HAVE TO DECIDE TO GET OFF THE PIPE OR OUT OF THE BOTTLE. NO ONE CAN DO THAT FOR YOU. ONLY YOU CAN DO THAT FOR YOU.
@@patriciamckinney2229 If a country is so backwards that extreme wealth and extreme poverty both exist then there’s a very real moral problem. Your excuse if they earned it is despicable. No one ever should have so much disposable wealth they can throw around massive amounts of money on things that don’t even provide basic needs. You need to rethink your ideology. I believe you’re one of the greedy ones. You find it acceptable because you’re greedy too. You hope that your greed will help you become extremely wealthy one day. Like if you had an option one morning to become disgustingly wealthy and lose your soul in the process you’d happily take it. There’s the palpable greed of the wealthy and then there’s hopeful greed from poor people who wish to also have everything while others starve to death. You’re just as bad if not worse as a billionaire because you don’t even have that money tainting you. You hope for it and that’s disgusting.
My heart breaks for this women.

Living in the rv is one thing but once it vomits out as it did and there’s tons of trash or ( everything they own ) on the street piling up, there has to be something done. It’s very sad but what all that stuff is, is trash at this point. It’s viewed as personal items because it’s all they have but it just continues to pile and pile
Was just thinking the same thing … keep it contained in your RV and no one will say anything!
"Chris O" It could indicate a problem with hoarding and chronic disorganization.
I agree with your comment. Poverty is not an excuse for piling up garbage where other people will be forced to view it every day. Pile of garbage like that is a public health hazard. Packed into the RVs it was attracting rodents and insects. There's no excuse for doing this. She can cry all day (and probably does) she still does not have the right to bring down the quality of a neighborhood, for people who are using hard earned money to maintain homes.
Dam I really feel sorry for that poor lady💯💯I hope she finds peace and a place to call home for her and her girls😘She seems like a nice lady that's had it rough
This was heart breaking.
Praying for them
I am born and raised in Sacramento and I have never seen the amout of tents , trailers and no solutions in my life here . I am irritated that they are without a home and the trash ect no different than Seattle . I am mad that this is allowed , market value has price out people to live this way and it has become everyones problem. I really don't care if they are on drugs , drink ect they need stability. Also there are working homeless people living this way with JOBS that still can afford to live here or get out of here . So I hate seeing all of this I hate people are in a cycle that feels hopless and there is not enough action to make it liveable in Sacramento. The haves are going to understand you push the lower incomes out there will be no one to do the jobs one does not want to do and this is what we are left with . Third World Conditions in the Capital of one of the most biggest economic states in this country.
well maybe if instead of enabling these people and the state actually intervened instead of spending 5.6 million in free needles and 13.5 million in safe drug use spaces operated by city employees in some cities they could spend that 19 million building homes and helping these people off the street .theres a new idea....oh wait..no it fucking isnt .people told you and everyone else about that solution years ago...instead ...they said ...free needles and safe drug spaces . ..we did try helping these people ..then other people like yourself came in crying and saying "you cant demand they change who they are " so we stopped saying anything ...we stopped helping ...and we arent going to try anymore .this is the result of the baby them and give them everything they want mentality because apparently that was a good solution . ..pfft ..

I wonder what the REAL numbers are on homelessness. Where I live it is not out in the open like in Cali.
@@pinkiesue849 real numbers would stagger your imagination .

My heart goes out to this woman! Granddad always said that Charity begins in the Home; it's been high time that our Government needs to step up to the plate and help our own who needs it!
This is heartbreaking ❤️🩹 I hope she is ok …God Bless all the homeless
I remember what it’s like being a single mother with kids. The weight of the world is on your shoulders. Trying to raise kids on your own. If u don’t have a very good income, it’s hard to raise kids on one income. This takes me back. I hope she gets back on her feet fast. Prayers
Get married then have children if you can afford them. If you can’t don’t have them. It is not other people obligation to pay for your kids.

This is too sad to see God be with people who are unfortunate and are struggling at this time
I'm so sorry they're heartaches for all they're losses, this is a nitemare.
The part the news leaves out is that they made huge messes, they used plastic bags on their fires and it stunk up the whole circle with burning plastic not to mention constant break ins with the nearby businesses

NOT EVERY HOMELESS PERSON DID THIS OR DOES THIS! MAYBE MORE PEOPLE WILL START HELPING AS A MAJORITY OF PEOPLE DONT CHOOSE TO BE HOMELESS AND FEEL ASHAMED BECAUSE SOCIETY JUDGES AND TALKS ABOUT THE HOMELESS BUT DOESNT HELP THEM OR TALK TO THEM! THANK GOD IF YOU E NEVER HAD TO EXPERIENCE THIS PAIN AND LOSS OF BEING HOMELESS! Yes it might be an eye sore to see the trash and shopping carts everywhere but seriously be proactive and help find a solution don’t judge each individual because of one individuals choices! Some of these people including myself have been through things that brings you to this situation, not everyone has family or people that care and help them! Homeless or not everyone litters daily but heads are turned when it’s not a homeless person ! You’ve got people who aren’t homeless doing worse things than burning some plastic bags or doing minor thefts so they can feed their children and them selves! Not every person is fortunate enough to have a place to live they can afford and this is all because of money hungry snobby people who act like they’re better than the next person! Who are we to Judge! We all fall short of the glory of God daily !! Thank God for what you have and ask God to bless the ones that don’t have and are in need 💝
@@sandib4234 what help? There is no help out there! All there is out there is judgment and gossiping and people thinking they’d never be in that situation! Pray to God you never are cause trust and believe you’d look at it differently and stop thinking that it’s easy to get help when THERE IS NONE! Stop bringing your judgments and convictions on these people and help them give them food or money clothes blankets etc… JESUS WOULD! God bless you and your blind eye cause there is no real long term help for the homeless! Not every homeless person does crime or drugs or choose to be homeless! You’ve obviously never been through anything this hard in your life and thank God for that, pray for these individuals and show love and compassion! Why do people with money think they’re better than someone who doesn’t have money? We need to pray more for this ugly harsh world filled with violence and abuse! Go ask these individuals their story and how they got to where they’re at be a solution not a problem!

Oh my.. i hope someone helped her and her children
This is heart breaking moments indeed, are there anyone left in America that cares for these folks?
This is what happens when there is a severe lack of affordable housing.
It's a shame how far we have fallen.
I know it's been over a hundred plus years ago.. but. Way back when, you chose a piece of land and you worked to build a house.
Then banks got involved.
@@jessiefrye3045 I would love to have been alive back then. I'm not saying life was easier, it was just simpler.
Nope this is what happens when you make bad choices in life and are lazy. This bitch has got pink hair and the face of a meth head. Definitely know where her moneys going. Also how did she keep the kids while homeless?
Melissa Walker, the houses n apt are only going up. And it's also very hard to find enough money to move i.e. security deposit, plus first months rent, electric and gas. Plus moving all your stuff. When you're with children and you have no one to call for moral support much less a friend to help you with anything, it'll break 💔 the best of us. Oh,not to mention that the majority of these folks are probably dealing with mental issues ( depression, anxiety, bipolar etc..) and medical issues. This is a crisis which is only going to get worse. Unfortunately,if the people who are in the position to offer a place to stay,a job,or some money,the majority of the homeless would be ok. But we don't see this happening.this is so very sad. Especially for the children out there. Hopefully the people that are in charge of the town will find the resources to help.
Affordable housing is an oxymoron
Well you can call it what it is ... I've lived off grid for many years in the national forest and still living in the national forest as I speak ... I've worked All My life doing construction and machanic work and including diagnosing and trouble shooting electronics ... I love my life I don't drink and do drugs I keep my life clean ... Just retired this year and I would not give this life for nothing ... Life is what you make it to be my friends ...
So it sounds like your a man that made some good choices in your life. Your not there flying a sign that says "any spare change?" No body seems to get the concept of making "good choices" vs. "bad choices". I applaud you my man. Much Respect!
If they spent as much time helping ,instead of destroying people's lives, the world would be a better place.
i came to california when i was 12 from viet nam i am 54 now i give any homeless a meal as i see them on the street . it is so sad california has so much homeless now
