Anyone Can Become Homeless

- If I didn't meet Sunshine in front of the tent where she sleeps, I would not have guessed she is houseless. She does not look like stereotypical homeless women most people hold in their minds, yet Sunshine lives in a homeless encampment near Los Angeles International Airport.
Sunshine (not her real name) prefers the term houseless, which is a term that's gaining popularity. Even NIMBYs (not in my backyard) have started using the term houseless. I prefer the term homeless, which made for an interesting conversation with Sunshine as we both shared our experiences with homelessness. Someday soon, I'll produce some content on homeless phrases. In short, people should be called whatever term they are comfortable with. I only used "homeless" in the title instead of "houseless" because no one searches using houseless, and people must find Sunshines video.
Sunshine is from Utah. She was on a road trip of self-discovery and ended up stranded in Los Angeles. Before leaving Utah, Sunshine lived in her car and sometimes in a park in Salk Lake City.
Sunshine survives through the community in the homeless encampment and from the help of organizations like Street Watch, a coalition of organizers working to help unhoused people in Los Angeles and surrounding areas. You can find more information about Street Watch here: streetwatchla.com
Sunshine wants to go back to Utah. She has a son that she misses. Sunshine also has a big goal of building homes for homeless people. She believes God wanted her to experience homelessness so she can better help the unhoused community. I am always in awe about how many people experiencing homelessness want to help others.
I love the conversation Sunshine, and I have about the humanity that society could learn from unhoused homeless people. One of the reasons I LOVE homeless people so much is we have an extreme tolerance for others. For the most part, homeless people respect and extend grace to other people. This tolerance of others is not demonstrated in executive board rooms or even our Congress.
The reason Sunshine ended up homeless doesn't matter as much as that; we must get people like her the help they need to restabilize. The longer Sunshine lives outside, the harder it will be to get her out of homelessness.

About Invisible People
There is a direct correlation between what the general public perceives about homelessness and how it affects policy change. Most people blame homelessness on the person experiencing it instead of the increasing shortage of affordable housing, lack of employment, childhood trauma, lack of a living wage, or the countless reasons that put a person at risk. This lack of understanding creates a dangerous cycle of misperception that leads to the inability to effectively address the root causes of homelessness.
We imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home. Each day, we work to fight homelessness by giving it a face while educating individuals about the systemic issues that contribute to its existence. Through storytelling, education, news, and activism, we are changing the narrative on homelessness.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to educating the public about homelessness through innovative storytelling, news, and advocacy. Since our launch in 2008, Invisible People has become a pioneer and trusted resource for inspiring action and raising awareness in support of advocacy, policy change and thoughtful dialogue around poverty in North America and the United Kingdom.

Hello friend, I would like to say that I really have no problem marrying her
Mark ; your experience in a religion based shelter sheds light on your unwillingness to give God credit . Religion fucked you up. Religion DOES NOT define God and is hurtful to God. God needs your love. Don't let man made religion get in the way of that. (From an 18 months homeless former Ministry worker.) Gods house is NOT humanitys house or religions house. Belongs to those of us who are Lights .
I don’t know if you still have contact with her but I have a almost brand new android with new SIM card if she needs a phone. If I can help her I will.
@@maplecosy9429 that is so true I'll I ever see is bashing Christian ran SHELTERS and organizations and bashing the Republican party and to call or write lawmakers and the government
We need to help fix the issues ourselves and stop depending on the government
I mean it's crazy
Hi Mark, the link is broken. Please fix
I know her! Almost 3 years ago I was struggling hard. And I posted looking for a few clothing items, and appliances. She helped me!!! She gave me a coffee pot, and a bunch of other things. I didnt personally meet her. My mom picked up the belongings, and she gave my mom a hug for me. 😭😭😭
Wow that is really good and this is what humans are 👋👋👋👋👋
Awesome!
How is she doing now ?
@@enyafire2875 A whole month later?
@@OlJackBurton i just saw it when uploaded a A WHOLE MONTH LATER
I remember when I was homeless and flying a sign. I was blessed with a motel room the night before, and people were driving by saying I was too clean to be homeless because I had a shower last night. Like I was impersonating being homeless. People are the worst 🙄
How ignorant of them! People are a trip sometime 🙄
Yeah it’s Sad
I am sorry Trent. People dont believe all....Dont give valous other in this situation....I thank God for you life.
(((HUGS)))
Sadly...you can thank the asses that actually fake being homeless to get free money for that one.
I was homeless for 2 years now I'm in a apt now god is good 🙏 now working on a script design for Ella mai turn into a movie
N We Love GodJesusHolySpirit With All our Heart Soul Mind n Strength Forever n Ever y qué DiosCristoEspiritoSanto nos bendiga siempre y por vida y love thy neighbor Amén.
I'm happy for you!! Peace and blessings🤗
@@brielleanyez7113 thank you
Amen !
I am happy for you. You are one tough guy. Not many make it off the street or even alive.
I dated her for a year in Utah. She's a wonderful woman. Smart, and kind. I'm not sure what happened for her to be in this situation, but I know she wouldn't leave her son without a good reason and making sure he's okay first. I've been homeless. Partly by choice. I don't think hard drugs are involved, or alcohol. She's not like that. If anyone sees an update on her, let me know if you would.
Life is not easy. She is going through something. But what don't kill you make you stronger. We can't judge because we are on the outside looking in. God 🙏🙏🙏 help her and bless her. Show her the way God. So she can do your work. In Jesus name amen
She pretty I hope you are available to find her good luck Samuel
I hope you can help her
@@sueshe5953 hello do you know where can I find her
@@sueshe5953 I will be in the Los Angeles CA area in a few weeks
She’s in pain. I send her love. I want her to heal and be safe.💕
No shes not. She is my sister and she literally refuses to come back. We have sent her money, she abandoned her son on christmas and left him here with us to do drugs. She is in pain because she is a failure..
@@suzideck3496 may I get how is she or ur instagram id I want to help u well this sad
@@m.kmenon1535 her instagram is dreucifer. You can see her son commenting when she stopped talking to him around chsristmas. She did get to him, but he is my newphew and is with my parents and he hasmt talked to her in maybe 2 months now.
@@suzideck3496 thanks u. Dear but did. She left home what reason she left his son may be is not well hope she come back
@@suzideck3496 I sent u dm on instagram please see that
I kind of agree with her. Home is where the heart is. Homeless people aren't heartless, they are houseless. I've met many houseless people that have more heart than those who have mansions.
Seven hundred billion dollars a year to the Military-Industrial-Entertainment Complex and we can’t help this woman get off the streets.
but muh freedom!
Oh well people aren’t a priority, military strength on the other hand 🙄
have you figured it out yet?
I see the point but at the same time the Military is needed. Anyone can sign up
@@mikeymike4626 No one is questioning the need for a military. It’s the size of the military and the budget it demands that is preposterous. It’s the fact that we police the world and have over 800 bases across the globe that’s a problem. It’s the fact that we always seem to be fighting bullshit wars that cost trillions that have nothing to do with our security that’s the problem. It’s the fact that defense contractors get to essentially bribe congress into authorizing bloated contracts year after year that we the American citizens pay for, even though America’s infrastructure is crumbling and her vets and homeless and borders are neglected. It ain’t right.
America First!☝🏻🇺🇸
Homeless dosent acutely have a “look”. You can still manage to keep yourself clean. Not all homeless people are filthy and strung out.
if u still look good, u not really homeless. i say this as a former homeless person.
I was homeless, living in a tent near my two jobs. I went to a park, filled up a two-liter soda pop bottle from that park's water fountain, then spritzed off in a Porta-Potty, then wiped up all the water that I spilled in there (w/the free t.p.). This went on for a couple months, then I quit the burger-flipping job, kept the factory job. Saved three-quarters of the money I made during those five or six months. Then got an apartment. I kept myself clean enough.
@@tarico4436 if u lived like that, you're still gonna look a bit disheveled compared to a person that isn't homeless & takes real showers.
@@tarico4436 well done for doing what you did.. keeping a job seems to be the only way forward in the US?!
People need to realize that not everyone who is homeless is because of drugs and addiction some people actually fall on hard times and unfortunately homeless..bless her heart Lord!
I was kicked out of my house due to domestic violence against my mom.. I was homeless from 2007 till 2017... I feel the pain of all the homeless people 💔
I don't care if I made 100,000 a year I would never move to LA!! The amount of people out there that are homeless and still have a job is scary!
LA is hell on earth
Please don't move here, we already have all the homeless from around the country, like this Utah woman who couldn't stay there.
@@11123fsd depends who you ask.
Lol opposite, i cant wait to live in LA. I lived in central valley my whole life and i hate living in republicans county, so damn boring. I rather live in a 2k apartment and be surrounded by entertainment
I wouldn’t live there if I was a billionaire
I've been homeless intermittently all of my life. I am now 35. I was born homeless...My mother resided in a hotel while I was a newborn with my two older brothers. We were homeless again when I was 13 until 15, and then I was homeless again from 25 until 27. I lost another home, and was homeless for 6 months at age 30. The entire time I struggled to complete school while living out of my car. People...Prepare your children better so that they don't have to endure the struggles of homelessness and poverty. Had my parents been more responsible and made better plans, there's no reason why I should have ever been homeless. And people today don't believe I've ever been homeless. I'm a Director for a Fortune 500 company, building a home with my husband and living a really extraordinary lifestyle. I've come a long way but I am humble.
Wow! You did so well. Very inspiring to read for me!!!
Queen👑
Awesome! Proof that you can achieve anything
You are a true inspiration! You have a profound story to tell. You've been through a lot and I'm proud of you for still having hope in your heart ❤️
You have horrible parents! I’d never put or allow myself to get to the point to drag my kids down with me. Word of advice, if your parents are still here love them, but from a long distance! It sounds like your mother’s was avoiding some legal obligation(s). All the best to you and yours!
It says a lot for someone whom has lost everything, and yet will continue to give (even if it’s just giving forgiveness). Bless you young lady.
The Way of Christ is not to "give" forgiveness. The Way of Christ is to LIVE and BE forgiveness without bounds. It is not for me to forgive anything that did not directly impact me, and if I feel a need to forgive it, then I'm not actually living in the way of christ. Forgiveness is that which we do for ourselves to free us from the bonds of hate that we've built in our own hearts by failing to live in the way of christ.
Christ said "forgive them for they know not what they do". He didn't tell them face to face what their crime/offense/sin/MISTAKE was and shame then for it first, and then grandiosely proclaimed to them that he forgives them so it's all better now that they've been called out, accused, shamed, and "corrected" publicly and forgiven publicly. That's the behavior of the Pharisees (church goers). He had to forgive them without them knowing of any offense or sin, withouts them desiring it and without them even knowing, and without them seeking forgiveness, in order to cleanse and purify his own heart from the hatred instilled in it by those who had him killed for speaking and teachng kindness, gentleness, mercy, self-governance, joyfulness, patience, and love for each other. See, that was the problem. Even then, humanity was inhumane, and it's only gotten worse.
If one feels that they are qualified, in their self-righteous accusations and slandering of another, if one feels that they are OWED an apology in order for them to GRANT forgiveness to ANOTHER, they are definitely in an anti-christ position. As Christ said "blessed are those who are not offended by me". They were offended by him and they killed him mercilessly, without peace, with deception, in a fit of rage and egomaniacal self-righteousness.
And folks need to quit "blaming" and "accusing" "the Jews" for it. That's just a regional racist position. Christ is killed by the indignant self-righteous every time he arrives here ... And Christ has arrived here many times. (Ghandi, Sitting Bull, Martin Luther King Jr., Jesus Christ, Adam, and many others), and the Pharisees (church goers), Sadducees (elites/powerful of the time), Politicians (government), False Prophets ($ profits), and inhumane hateful humans, kill them for teaching and exampling kindness every single time.
Forgiveness ... There's a decade worth of lessons from which all of humanity would benefit.
Thank you
Divine Renegade {Ren} was this about you?
While someone else takes care of her son.
She has NOT lost everyone. HER SON she ABANDONED him on CHRISTMAS when his DAD went to jail. He lives with his grandparents as of now. We have TRIED to get her to move back but she would rather be homeless with her boyrfiend. She is my sister, but we all let her go after she refused to care for her son who is in highschool
I'm a camper and was almost homeless. After not able to find work in NY state I made the decision to pack up my little Nissan with the cat and just head west. A friend at the time said "come out here". I went out there, found employment and today I'm safe in my own apartment - gainfully employed. Looking next to buy a little bit of unrestricted land and then a Van for my retirement. I don't know what would have happened if he didn't make that offer. It was winter and I was going to head to Oregon during a very bad time. I didn't care whether I lived or died. I just had to leave quick with the last paycheck because I didn't want to be homeless in New York - especially during the winter.
good for you to make the effort and it was worth it. Took courage.
I would like to thank Sunshine for all her help. I am in a house and will be sober and given help with my meds and mental healr for a month tomorrow in significantly large part to her. I exited a lets say bad relationship significantly mentally bruised and houseless and homeless As it says on Hope Street "You are a Godess in the city of angels". Hopefully back in Utah next year to properly take care of my three year old girl.
If you are reading this, I know we haven't talk in a bit. But love ya and I'll try to send you a letter with an update on my journey to your house. When I have time. Keep the faith. Hopefully we'll all end at an awesome party some day Matthew 22.
What a beautiful, brave, intelligent, lost soul. I pray that this video finds its way to her son and that he knows that she desperately loves him.
Don't judge a book by its cover 🙏
How long did it take you to come up with that ??
And professional graphic designers like me spend hours to make that cover

Don't cover a judge by its book, yes ofc
The strength of this woman is unbelievable. There are a lot of good people on the streets that the haves demonize. Sad.
God bless her. I’ve been unhoused for almost 4 months. In & out of hotels, air b & b’s & a homeless shelter now living with a relative temporarily. I’ve noticed it’s a lot of us we get to eat & bathe everyday but on the inside we’re hurting because we have to figure out where we’re going to live. Like she said perhaps God put us this way so we could help others.🙏🏾
It's me Mark the homeless man from Sunday I told you I watch all your vids keep em coming bro
So awesome to meet you
@@InvisiblePeople keep up the vids bro they inspire me more than you could imagine thanks and God bless
Another thought provoking story. Thank you Mark. God bless you both. 🇬🇧
She’s a beautiful soul inside & out, and I know she’ll make it to her desired destination. She’s very strong willed!
Peace & Light everyone ☀️🌟💫✨🙏🤍🕊✨
I love her positivity regardless of her
situations I hope to all the homeless
folks out there can get back thier lives to normal. God bless
She left her son on purpose in december and hasnt returned. We tried getting her to return and she refused to. She wants to stay there and she is a meth addict.
@@suzideck3496 drug addiction is a bitch and if you never been there you cant possibly understand
Having been a minister for 18 yrs I became fed up with religion and denominations. Now becoming a spiritual person in total peace the freedom of judgement and religious cultures are gone having been replaced with an inexplainable love for anyone in front of me. Holding on to only what I need and giving the rest away is so freeing and fulfilling.
Your work to film all these is AMAZING! Sir! Hats off!
Keep the faith lady! You will get back on your feet soon.
This lady has a fabulous outlook on life
This is my beautiful sister Dreu
I pray that this lady gets back to her son ASAP. He needs love , care, nurturing, help and attention. This mother will find purpose as well in showing love to her child.❤
This wonderful woman has summed up the truth in her opening words.
Houseless not homeless. H(Om)e is within, a house is pure materialism.
Beautiful opening of the truth Sunshine 💚
Not all homeless people are on drugs..there down on there luck..anyone of us van be in her shoes.I pray ahe gets home to her son and back on her feet.
Amen... Thank you so much. Sunshine here 🌞
@@dreuviator4724 Hello sunshine
As long as her home is not in California and payed by local tax money. I wish for her to get a home back in Utah and not suck up resources that belong to the people that are actually from California.
I'm homeless and not on drugs. Well I smoke weed. I have a job. My husband has a job. The housing situation is ridiculously expenses for working class people. We r 40 so we don't qualify for aide in our state. I'm glad we have a Tahoe and access to camping showers. Don't judge what u don't know. It can happen to anyone. Anyone. Don't ever think it can't. I did.
@@bethshonk1 Why do you stay in California?
I hope she gets to reconnect with her son and realize her dreams of being an entrepreneur.
Thank you Mark for sunshine's 🌞 story. God bless you both. 🇬🇧
She is really a nice girl I just met here but she was the first person to welcome me in the homeless community in this park last week and thanx Mark for finding these special people you are God sent 😇🙏

Her name is Dreu and she left her family for drugs. I love her, but she doesn't want help anymore. I truly hope the best for her as well.
What a beautiful soul and lady, I would like to help her get back home is there plan or a fund me to make this happen? I'd give her a job at my RV park and hostel in Portugal in a heartbeat with that spirit!

It really feels bad. I don't know. I am speechless. This channel is showing what's life is really like.
Left her son to go find herself, rrrrrrright. Where was the Zen in that.
I agree. I’m sorry, but she sounds very selfish regardless of her ambitions.
Wow, judge not lest ye be judged Different people have different circumstances.
#OkKaren
@@dylnthmsn420 You obviously don’t have kids and would not understand that when you have kids, you can’t be selfish. Judge? Yes I am judging her by her own admissions. She admits to abandoning her son to go find herself. Maybe she should have found herself before she took off on her son.
This should scare anyone. This young lady is articulate and attractive. This can happen to me or to you... wake up America. Let's really work on this problem.
I totally agree 👍 this really got me. I'm no were near as articulate as this woman and I have way more strikes against me than she can even imagine, so what makes my situation different from hers, I'm black a woman with several disabilities, I'm older at the age where it's hard to get a job, this really scares me, I have this sinking feeling this will one day be my reality 💔 I hope someone helps her
I was homeless in LA as well. The Lord Jesus literally led me through it and out of it. Praise the Lord! I pray for all these struggling people.
How do you know it was your lord that led you through it?
Could it not have been from the help of others and your inner strength that made the difference?
If either possibility is true, then how would you know which one it was?
Have a good day😉

We’ll said!
What a great human ❤️. I hope she and others get help sooner than later.
What a sweet lady. Hope she will be OK and back to her family soon. Good luck Sunshine!
"Home's here 👉❤"
Articulate, intelligent and very enlightened, Sunshine finds herself homeless despite possessing all these qualities in abundance showing us that as she says ANYONE can become houseless/homeless all it takes is the right sequence of events. How someone copes when in such a predicament varies but one constant that will Help everyone is HUMANITY and EMPATHY if we show folk in these circumstances that we want them to get back on track and achieve their potential then HOPE is built and society as a whole can benefit from each person living a valued life. I hope Sunshine finds her way back to her family and friends in utah and builds on what she has experienced on her journey. There is no higher achievement than helping those in need. Best Wishes from the UK.
Absolutely right, This is probably why she values the community she is in so much. City rules are very different from small town experiences she may have had before.
People. Wake up. Wake up. Or we will be all houseless. This planet is not only for few oligarchs.
Right. Well said
Agreed ! Everyone need to wake up from this Delusional World ! The world need to be changed for the betterment of our future ! Who has decided that we must paid for an overpriced housing for living ? Why the living cost is so high and the wages are too low ? Who has decided all these to make more n more peoples living in paycheck to paycheck and poverty life ?
@@maylai6549 it is our planet. Let's behave that way.
Agree! All those watching this need to take time NOW to make sure this is not you some day. Budget, plan, move, get a roommate, 2nd/3rd job, etc., whatever it takes. Make a plan and stick to it. These videos are a huge wake-up call and bring awareness to those who need to change their bad habits.
@@huiran180 houses, basic food, healtcare, education should be for free for everybody who wants work. Enough jobs of course is needed. But we are now in the stage when even fresh air is forbidden.
I have been homeless several times in my 71 yrs like to help
Beautiful sweet lady. Prayers for her to get back to Her son and home in Utah
She is my sister.. We have tried to get her back to Utah but she is getting married to a homeless man. That homeless man is a felon under parole and cannot leave california. Therefore, she refuses to come home for a guy she just met :(
at one of my failed job interviews I was asked - Have you ever considered...
wearing make-up?
we live in a superficial world, people are judgemental&prejudiced and feel great about it
and at the same time - there is no correct answer
because the same people can turn your good look against you and made an argument from how good you look against what you seek at the moment
Next time answer honestly (or prepare an answer to such questions in advance). Sometimes such questions are asked to see how you react in such situations. Sometimes people are just fools though.
There is obviously more to this story. It's not hard to get back to Utah. Nor is it expensive, there are free programs that will give you a bus ticket home.
What a lovely interview. Getting home quickly is my wish for her.
What a beautiful soul. Wishing her all peace and success.
She has a very strong amazing smile... I can die and live when she smiles
I like how she said to "remove fear from the Earth" as one of her wishes! Amen! I feel her on that. Let's put our thoughts together and try manifesting that. The more people, the better. Just close your eyes and see a world where fear is now replaced with unconditional love. Even if u doubt it will happen, just give a little bit of your energy and focus to that thought please & let's see what happens...☮️🌎💜
She said she has a car, so I am confused why she doesn't drive back to Utah. Where is her 16 year old staying?
Good question! We haven’t heard her truth
Thank you for the video.
Wishing her the best, sending positive vibes her way. I watch these videos and it boggles my mind how our country allows this to happen. No matter what someone's situation is no one should be living outside unless they choose to. There needs to be more assistance for helping people get housed.
We The People ARE this country. It is We The People that have created this and.it is We The People that ALLOW it to continue and it will be We The People's that have to fix it. As long as we demand that others fix it.and.clean up our messes, the longer it remains and worsens. They'll keep stealing our money for fixes to it, pocketing the funds and growing the problem so they can steal more money to fix it ... And the cycle continues. Only We The People can fix it. But We don't want it to take time, take societal change, have to alter a thing in our own lifestyles, cost us anything (cuz I pay my tribute to the kings I appointed over me), treat people with kindness, or get down off their self-rigjteous pedestals of priviledge to offer a hand up to another human.
I don't know why I keep watching your videos. I work from dawn to night to manage my high rent and all the cost for my children in NY. My rent is $3500, my car costs $500, insurance costs $400. Just a rent and maintaining car only cost $4400 per month already. I am so tired of working for these sky rocketing costs... I am even thinking about second job now. Maybe I watch your videos because I perhaps want to have homeless life to have some break for myself...
Move and look into mobile living. Very affordable lifestyle. Live for moment. You have done the American Dream enough!
I have tried watching other youtubers with their attempt to show the homeless population and for some reason they are always just drug addicts with the same story albeit sad never before have I seen someone find all these different kinds of people with such stories to tell that show us how dangerously close we are all to becoming just like this and how it's really not all of their faults at all. This is an amazing channel, Thank you.
She is well spoken and warm.
I was struggling in CA, living in my car ten years ago and moved to Utah. I've been fine ever since. California is tough. I hope she comes back to Utah, there are plenty of jobs here. And from reading the comments it sounds like a few people in Utah recognize her and would help her get back to Utah. California is beautiful, that's where it ends for so many. You have to make a great deal of money to live there, especially on one income.
I left CA for AK. Man, am I happy I did?
@@GuitarType01 good for you!! Happy for you! Wishing you all the best ☺️ CA just isn't worth the struggle!
I live in a van.....a minivan....you can't tell by just looking at me that I don't live in a house. I'm rather discreet. I've been doing this for several years and I'm succeeding at it. These days I'm better off emotionally than some who live in houses. I'm accustomed to living light.
I would be doing the same if life hit me hard.
Close to it. Not because I have to because it is freedom.
Good for you brother
I'm doing the same. You're so right.
I prayer for you Sunshine.
I'm homeless by choice too. Shower at the gym in the morning. In my office all day for work. Yoga after work and another shower. A couple of hours in the evening at the university library, working on personal projects. Hop in the back of my SUV at night with a blanket and I'm up again at 5 to start again. I waste almost nothing - resources, time. Nothing.
Circumstances forced me into my car. I was terrified at first, but I've found it's the best way to live. It's not the easiest life, but it's also impossible not to learn compassion for people with even less than me - and that's made the experience worth the effort.
I think if people was to invest in the homeless by getting them multiple showers and bathrooms that are constantly monitored and cleaned and laundry system while they live in tents it will go along way of helping these people. If they can get cleaned and clothes cleaned they can get clean enough to try to find a job. They are at the bottom but having just basic necessities as bathrooms and shower and laundry can make a difference to a lot of these homeless people!!!
This was your best video by far.
Very moving.
Just a reminder that every one from every walk of life can wind up in this situation. It doesn't matter what you look like, what you have done for work, where you were born, etc.
She is calm and composite. More strength to her
Not everybody can afford a house. But we can all create a home for ourselves.
"Remove fear from the earth" ... A truly humane human.
What an amazing lady. God bless you.
Thank you for sharing, hope she gets some help soon 🙏🙏🙏
I am in the exact same boat as her
I'm a Muslim but I Believe she's spiritually very good. She said God willing a lot, she's pure heart.
I hope she will not be houseless anymore.
God should help her
Yes. Alhamdulillah
Fingers crossed for you Sunshine. You are smart with good heart, you can do whatever you want, whatever you feel.
sunshine is a beautiful and wise woman. She has worked on herself. ThNk you for sharing her with us. 🙏🏿💕✨
I know what she means when I was homeless, my goal a lot of mornings was to go out and obtain stuff we needed (me and my friends). And I somehow would manage to get those things by the time they woke up. Every day was that way. Survive now. Any goals further out than a day or two was a luxery.
You need to start crowd funding for her. We all will help to get her back to Utah
How much is this? I dont live in USA but cant imagine that this us extensive. Why she dont Make jobs for People who Life there or even ask People for Money there ?
@@mirjamweibel9678 There are jobs.
I'll buy a greyhound bus ticket right now! No questions asked.
@@duck198765 i dont get that. If she was succesful at home or only had a job. Why she cant buy a ticket home ? Why she cant buy a new home? Or only Borrow a phone to Make 1 call to a Friend, son, parents etc. Or write a letter home?? I dont get it why she cant Go home
@@duck198765 people give up for many reasons. Mental illness can come in many forms. I am in a cush remote job in my silicon valley home, but I envy some of these folks, especially ones living on blm lands.
Amazing! Brave lady. Thank you!
that was a great conversation. I really loved it
She was homeless in Liberty Park in Utah but she wants to go back to the peace of a small town and her family? She has a son but doesn’t see him any more? She had a car but not now, just a tent? There’s a few missing pieces in this story I think.
How much would a ticket to Utah cost?
Do people still hitch hike?
It doesn’t seem like an insurmountable challenge to get there.
I thought the same but we don't know the full story.
Lots of questions!
“A series of events caused me to be here” uhhh lot of missing pieces indeed
@@DGNYY27 “I came to LA to be an entrepreneur.”
How does that work?
“I came here on a road trip of self discovery”
When you’ve had children, until they’re grown up, their “self discovery “ comes first, sweetheart
I feel for her but don’t understand how just took off from her son! Now her phone is missing. I bet her family thinks she is dead & missing! She needs to call her family to come & help her get back home ! Hopefully she ll get back on her feet!
We don't know her circumstances. It's easy to armchair quarterback someone else's life and choices, but we aren't the one that lives in that path every day.
Her family knows she's safe. This video has been very informative of where she is and her story just because we've been cut off from her for so long. Everyday we hope she makes her way back here.
@@cierabrennaman9425 Thank you.
That's what I thought
Hi Sunshine.
She speaks about the homeless here in Utah at liberty Park. She's probably knows me by the lady who brings bread often to a guy named " Chef Michael." He' himself is homeless and cooks daily for the people in the park that are living in their tents or cars.
Mark if you come to Utah go interview him. He's an awesome Chef !
He gets donations from various people and food banks. Sunshine probably had eaten one if his meals.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Oh my goodness! I love chef. Truly an amazing man! Cooking 365 a year to make sure that his community doesn't go hungry. I love the selflessness that he practices.
@@dreuviator4724 is this sunshine. I just came from Liberty Park and took him some bread and I asked him about you he said he couldn't remember you.well maybe he knows you by your other name I just asked him if he knew a sunshine
@@dreuviator4724 I actually am here at Liberty Park now I just dropped him off some canned food and some bread I take it to him about every other day
I found your comment years later. How do I find Chef Michael? I would like to donate. @@Franaflyby
@@YearOfTheDog82 liberty park
Oh man, love and all the best wishes
Prayers for you dear girl, God has you. A lot of people are losing homes. In the USA every should have a home....... . Bless you Mark stay well
Mate your vids are heart warming to hear stories of people sharing their faith. Much love to her.
She's smart and attractive I hope the best for her.
The homeless haters who don't know how easy it is to become homeless should watch more of theses. When I was young, there was an older homeless guy who did odd jobs in the neighborhood who slept in a coal shack behind a neighbors home. My mother treated him kind and with respect, fed him and gave him odd jobs, no matter how bad he looked or smelled ....kindness. Everyone on our street did. Later my mom explained he was once a great doctor who fell apart after his wife passed away and began drinking. I was taught to treat everyone with kindness and respect. The same you meet climbing up the ladder, are the same people you meet you meet down the ladder.
I love your spirit and passion, it will happen for you.
Sounds like training in ur journey for your testimony and realization of your God-given purpose and destiny ❤️☀️
I really love the lady from Utah’s voice, she should be on the Radio or on television doing the weather with that beautiful voice. I could listen to her all day. ❤
It's bad everywhere, but the way everyone glamorizes California, you'd think it was some kind of picnic. My people have been urging me to move out there for years because of all of the opportunities relative to Saint Louis. Man, thank God for RUclips and channels like this dispelling these myths about how swell California is. I wish this young woman the best. Thanks for putting human faces on the homeless epidemic.
Sounds like a walkabout finding one self....exsperiance help grow in a person.
It could happen to anybody so people please be grateful for what you have and got!!!!
There first video was 12 years ago, with John! Channel came a long way and still strong
