Young Homeless Girl Living on the Streets of New York City.

- Опубликовано: 19 сен 2014
- While walking with James to Best Buy on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, my heart broke seeing Leeza sitting on the sidewalk "flying a sign". Leeza is 22 years-old and has been homeless in New York City for two months.
Leeza panhandles to survive. She is trying to save up her money to get back to the West Coast.
The night before she slept outside in the front of a church.

About Invisible People:
Since its launch in November 2008, Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vlog (video blog) gets up close and personal with veterans, mothers, children, layoff victims and others who have been forced onto the streets by a variety of circumstances. Each week, they’re on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as RUclips, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.
Invisible People goes beyond the rhetoric, statistics, political debates, and limitations of social services to examine poverty in America via a medium that audiences of all ages can understand, and can’t ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nation’s most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath - its founder - and brings into focus the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions face each day. One story at a time, videos posted on InvisiblePeople.tv shatter the stereotypes of America’s homeless, force shifts in perception and deliver a call to action that is being answered by national brands, nonprofit organizations and everyday citizens now committed to opening their eyes and their hearts to those too often forgotten.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.

My name is Leeza, this video was of me one the streets of New York overt 3 years ago, i just wanted to let y'all know, I did make it! I've been off the street for 3 years, clean and sober for 2! Thank you everyone for your kind words...
Elizaveta Yourman-Nicholson ...good news ...goodluck
Invisible People that's so AWESOME!!! Thank yoy for doing what you do, because otherwise I couldn't be able to look at how fast gone I was then.. if wer for sober and clean, then I just KNOW it's possible for others out there!
Whoa! Brilliant!
Glad to hear it, I hope you keep enjoying life. A beautiful and sweet person like you deserves it. I'm 22 now and could never imagine being in the situation you were in. You are brave. Glad you'll do fine in life.
oh my gosh thats wonderful goodluck !
I had to live in my car for awhile. Homeless is very depressing, the feeling of having no one , nothing. It's just terrible ..
so sad brother
I hope you are okay. Stay positive brother. Good things are coming.
How are you doing Adam? We are rooting for you.
Keep the faith!
@@nexgen.graphics 😊
She didnt say " i wish i was rich " or " i wish i was a superstar " or anything like that. She had three wishes and wished for the basics. A job, a home and love all over the place. The reason why many people on the streets or/and poor get the meaning of life way more than any of us who have everything for granted. What a sweet person
They need to wish they were off drugs or alcohol, it all gets better after that.
@@DSC800 not necessarily, but it's a great start. There will always be challenges in life
@@tedjones2505 seriously?! If these people can't get off drugs and alcohol there is ZERO chance of a "great start". There is no chance if they don't. It's not a "challenge in life", it's what they live for every day and what drives them to lie, steal, cheat and sell their bodies.
Ted Jones, is there a better start in any challenge ?
If the politicians are as kind as this girl, world peace comes.
The fact you think this girl is a kind person just by a video is what should really scare you
World peace? There's no such thing buddy. All history is violent.
The look in her eyes says more than a 10000 words.
Its true 100%
Too true
From experience i stand with you on this matter
In solace and conviction
😉
@Superman Prime One Million .
Her eyes says everything.she is broken but smiling 😕
Because of the drugs giving her a euphoric boost
@Derrick Klone ive been almost in her exact position, but I didn't "travel"
but yeah I agree with you... like sure, initially her gaze has a lot of impact, I'll concede that to Ateeq A
But the more she talks the more she seems like... idk one of my irl friends from highschool
she's very romantic in her language.
@@bigtodd6609 oh yeah she might be more than well here
i didnt even think of that
His 🤣
her her
I know I’m 4 years late, but your spirit and strength are amazing! I’m so happy for you that you’ve gotten off the streets!! Best wishes✨
better late than never ... )
6 years late and same!
She is a spitting image of my sister who I lost 10 years ago due to alcoholism, bringing a tear to my eye.
Bless. So sorry.
Her eyes are so beautiful and so full of sadness.
My wife and I are homeless too and I see the same sadness in her eyes too. I don't know what to do about that.
@@tomsheils1096 aww! Your situation must be horrible. Im sorry. Good luck with everything!❤❤❤
@@spicyshrimp4323 thanxs so much.
Her eyes are full of drugs.
@Christian Lee wtf
Something so incredibly kind and gentle in this young girls mannerisms, speech and eyes. Breaks your heart.
C'est vrai
But her teeth she defo on heroine very sad
it's called being hot, and that feeling you feel about her is connected to your genitals
@@MisterPete3 how can you tell
@@grimmjowjerjegenz1739 by looking......
So glad she is okay- So happy for Leeza! Continue to stay well and be well!
Very proud of you and happy that such a lovely person found the support you needed. ❤

How people lived without money system
quickglance123.blogspot.com/2020/03/how-people-lived-without-money-system.html
When she said she got an argument with her adoptive parents , that’s truly sad.
Boohoo she forgot to mention she robbed them lol
@Andrew Smith that is a stupid thing to say. Obviously her biological parents rejected her or else she would be with them, unless they died. Even if the social sevices took her from her birth parents they could have cleaned up their act and petitined the court (not the bitch social workers) to get her back.
@Andrew Smith I understood. I am saying how does one get to non- biological parents if the biological ones didn't reject them first?
@Andrew Smith yes and no. You have to take into account that a lot of adopted kids come from mothers that did drugs while pregnant and they are born with some sort of problem as a result. She might be one of these. However quite often the parents know there will be problems and are very dedicated. I have known adoptive parents of troubled kids and they were amazingly dedicated. I just don't think it is fair to say "oddoptive parents, figures".
@Andrew Smith Still it shouldn't be said like a given. Besides, there are two sides to an argument. Who says the foster parents where in the wrong abd didn't truly love and care for her. Even when she is living in the streets there is only so much they can do. I have biological kids, and i can't force them to let me help them with everything. I let them know that i am there for them whatever the problem but they have to let me help them, and they are still minors, how much more adult children.
I just saw this for the first time just now. I'm so glad that you made it Leeza. That's great news! I hope things continue to go good for you. You're a fighter and a survivor.
Leeza I’m so happy to hear you’re doing well. God Bless You❤️
"You're welcome thank you for asking", she is so pleasant
Her eyes tells me she’s crying 😭 but she is smiling at the same time
Why Some peoples Are Homeless In USA Pleas Answer Me!!!
I'm From Iran!!!

I am from India we have a Right Wing leader Modi...who is giving free home to poor people , and Rs 10,00,000 loan to start your own business..
He is great he even helped me ..with his schemes.
@@13.gauravsingh59 shut up beach no one gives a shit about modi here.
I will be good to talk when he will do so
I am so happy that she did make it off the streets and it’s OK as a teenager I spent 12 years on the street because it was safer than being at home I pray that all her dreams come true. She survived we survived that means something because so many don’t.
You spent 12 years on the streets as a teenager?? You want to rephrase that or are you sticking to your guns?
@@luisperes8634 i hate people like you
I'm so so happy for You Leeza. God bless YOU and I hope that You have a wonderfull and blessed life ❤️👍
She sounds like a nice girl, down to earth and mature.
The streets force you to grow up quick
@@luxmag true but sad 😭
Yeah i will married he if in indonesia
Not mature thats for sure
She wouldn't be living like that
care about you but what after die?islamreligion.com
When you have nothing to lose, you have everything to gain.
Right
loss, gain. what matters ? you all wind up in the boneyard just the same.
@@danielkokal8819 What a horrible attitude you have. Life is precious!. And there is a reality of Eternity. It doesn't end at the boneyard. bonehead.
@@sallycandice6088 of course life ends at the boneyard, thats the definition of death. spirit ? maybe
but my attitude means nothing, any more than whatever loss or gain you experience during the
cosmic split second you are alive. you lose all your gains and you dont get compensated for your losses.
yes, life is precious. then why fret about loss when sooner or
later you lose it all anyway. Thoreau said the only way to die was penniless (he should know).
but it wont matter either way. the dead rich and the dead poor all stink to high heaven. The boneyard
is the only place you will find true equality.
@@danielkokal8819 at least don't be so pessimistic. If you want to be pessimistic don't make other people like you
So happy to hear Leeza is off the streets! God bless you and keep you safe!
I think the three wishes from her are wonderful. That shows me that this girl has a good heart. I wish you all the best from my heart.Love from germany
There are tears we cannot see. This young lady is fighting them.
She fought and overcame them already. Check the pinned comment.
@@JyoSco007 Best news I heard today. Thx!
Millions street kids, what make her so special
@@mmartijn78 she is the one I know of and have following. Of course all kids are a tender spot.
@@nassermj7671 ok I understand, good she is doing better now
People must learn from her, she ask for a roof, kindness and no war, no violence...
she can pay for her own roof. leeches man everywhere. not sure if they are worse or people that complain when we don't support them are worse. tough call.
We all can stop violence to people and animals
The best part of Leeza's story is having control on emotion & not loosing courage to face this mean world.👏👍
I was homeless in New York for a while, sadly 90% if the homeless people are unfortunately addicted to something. Seeing the way that young lady respond makes me believe she has a problem she must address if she plans on being successful in life.. will wish her the best.
what a beautiful, beautiful soul. her three wishes tell everything about her you need to know. kind and smart and selfless woman.
2 beautifuls, dang
Some porple are very special in this 🌎.
I am a retired NYPD officer. I was assigned to TD-03 which is a transit district police precinct. I patrolled 96th Street to the South Bronx and from East river to Hudson River. I worked 2200 hrs to 0635 hrs. which is the Graveyard shift. I patrolled the subways at this time of. night mostly alone. My main assignment was to talk and listen to the homeless population of upper Manhattan. I done the assignment for three years which I have documented 500 interviews with the homeless population. So many are victimized, and treated horribly.
@Fuert Neigt that is ridiculous
Wow!! I was a homeless teen. The stories you must have from people. Can you do a documentary? Much aloha and God Bless You 🌈🌺🙏💛 edit: there was two cops that would always be concerned for me and pull up, say get in...and we’d go talk. I’ll never forget them or their names. ❤️🌹
@Fuert Neigt There was no need for that.
NYPD is the absolute best. We need more cops like you.
You should look in to this guy all 👧 he talks to think about it look in to him i think he sleeps with them go with gut get him
"I wish all people were kind to each other and there was no war cause I really don't like violence." What more do you need to know about a person, she deserves all the help she can get. I'd have bought this girl a plane ticket to California asap.
She's doing well. She's off drugs, not in the streets anymore, and much better. Thanks!
Lies again? Adopted Homes
Except, you only think that because she is a girl. You would never consider that for a guy. "all people" my ass.
Most people are homeless by choice and comfortable in where they at because they are jobs that are available.
She's Whitx. Whitx folks usually can't handle all the city violence and brutally they see on a daily bases.
I was hoping to hear an update about the woman in this clip the moment I finished hearing those three wishes. Thanks for posting to let us know. Happy living wherever you are.
Look at her eyes, you will feel pain at that time and she is smiling, heart touching video.
Broke my heart
Heart wrenching 😭
Yeah, those eyes kinda looked like mine when I wasn't all right.
As soon as I saw her eyes, I knew
Even in such situation one of her wish was she wants everyone to be kind to eachother❤️
yeah, cause most of the homeless people end up in the street because of fights, breakups, etc.
Areee mortal bhau 😂
ruclips.net/video/XkZDtl1gS0I/видео.html
She is not homeless now
She is such a sweetheart...I'm happy for her as she finally got to settle down and living a healthy life.
I hope this means you made it to your friend’s restaurant in CA! Thank you for letting us know - and I share your three wishes :)
Crazy how she had 3 wishes and none of them were “having a lot money”, even when she’s homeless
i also dont want money, wtf id do with fking money? i want the fking goods i can buy with money, i dont need money if you give me stuff for free
You must have missed the part where she wants her own place to stay. You know what you need to pay rent? ......
J Fox you must’ve missed the part where I said she didn’t wish for money... you may need money to pay for rent but out of her 3 wishes none of them was to “have more money”
She is homeless because she does not want money. That works in opposite way than you think
Because if you wish a lot of money you don't have other two wishes
Her eyes looked like she cried every day being homeless. :(
Her eyes are of that of someone addicted to heroin. Drug addiction is one of the top reasons someone ends up homeless. It's very sad.
Definitely heroin
@@smithwesson6478 - Yes, it's definitely heroin addiction.
That's called drugs dude.
@@jjm152 - Or more specifically, heroin.
Watch this video and then realize you now are doing well it's a blessing.. God bless you Leeza
I can the the pain in her eyes.
May god bless her and get all her wishes
Everyone thinks so low about the homeless yet they can be more kind and the sweetest people in the world then most “rich” people
@Susnabis Dhsveixv Is that serious or you are just trying to make an unfunny joke?
Rich people are never really kind. They are only kind when they see profit in you. That's it.
@Susnabis Dhsveixv im just saying, most higher class people think so high of themselves, but most don’t and are very kind too
@@shadowmsh5723 I’m serous, but not all rich people are full of themselves. Some are very gracious
to be homeless is to have so little value you can't even help yourself.
to be rich means you have lots of value created for others or yourself.
...You ever stop to wonder we look at the rich with a more positive light- maybe because we know they are actually contributing something to this world taking care of at least themselves if not providing useful trade desired goods or services to others, meanwhile the homeless are in nearly all cases leeches, or criminals, who usually have failed multiple times and have such problems that they don't even have friends willing to help or care for them.
Look at her eyes and smile when she say she have a job waiting in a restaurant, she had like joy, hope. I wish she can make it, god i wish i had money, like millionaire to help everyone
krlitos that's a nice dream man
krlitos haha, know the feeling. why is it only assholes who get rich :-) poor girl, seriously these small interviews break my heart
You're a good dude. I too have that wish.
EVPSeeker
All she want's you to do is give her some money for her next heroin fix. I have family that are addicts for years and I can see when someone is an addict instantly. It's sad, but the truth.
Congratulations for getting off the street and for being clean and sober. Best wishes and best of luck to you in the future.
Love her. Glad that she's doing okay now ❤️
She is a survivor with smile n pain in her eyes, god bless her.
I like how this guy talks. Not drilling and shows empathy.
I think she is really brave. I could not imagine myself doing it. And I’ve always thought that your friends can be your family too; I am really happy to see that she found someone who take her under the wing.
I also read the comment she left on the video and it is really great to see she end up doing what she wanted to do.
I'm so glad you're back on your feet now, Leeza. Stay safe. Live long and prosper. May The Force be with you always.
Blessed are the people who have a place to stay.
It's good to know that she's fine now, and has a family of her own.
How do you know that

Really happy for you leeza! Stay healthy and strong. Forgive yourself and love yourself. I was homeless for a year and a half, it was tough especially for my son who was able to stay with family, but missed me. We re together now and work helped me out of the situation.
Even though she was out there I felt such a kind loving soul
I wish leeza a happy and good life
master dahyun she actually doing good
yes agree
I also agree with that
if i be in usa i will take her
She so lit up when she realized she was being cared for and heard. You are doing valuable work. Thank you.
Hello .how are you doing??
If republican party rule usa forever this will changed and never stay . . Democracy party let usa lose alot .i don't know how those thinking. Its like enemy of usa rule usa
I congratulate you girl, you are the clear example that any goal can be met with patience and commitment. I am very sorry that you ended up on the street for a long time, but luckily your friend took you under her wing and I hope that now you have figure out your problems with your adoptive parents. Greetings and I wish you the best
I pray for you to be Ok and live a happy life full of love, kindness and appreciation.
Human beings used to live in tiny communities where everyone knew everyone and if someone got in trouble, their neighbor would be happy to help. Now we live in a society where no one cares about anybody. Great souls like this one are left out to die. It's sad.
Yeah it's so sad man... World has become selfish and upside down.... Anyways at least she made it out with the help of someone... But that someone should be all of us.
A pct doesn't help out. Do you know why? Because alot of people are ungrateful. Did you forget about that one? Its a fact.
A capitalist system is at the root. Everything is a commodity with a price....including humans.
What ever. You can't help some addicts until they are ready.
@@deadreckoning6288
Islam is the only religion capable of destroying capitalist forces.
Christianity or the Bible has already been modified to allow for usury in the 15th century. Therefore, it will never change it
“Judaism” is the heart of the current capital system so of course it will never seek to change it. It is the system.
Atheism has no say in the matter.
She has a nice heart. Her wishes can prove it.🌷🌷🌷
Yes
My wishes--->
Me at 10: "No terrorism, the world would become green once again, and people would stop polluting"
Me at 17: "I want to marry Billie Eilish"
Leeza, So good to hear you're off the streets, clean and sober 😃
I hope you live the life you want and are healthy and happy 😊
Thank you Leeza for sharing with us. Being poor it’s like falling into quick sand,
almost impossible to get out.
she is off the streets now, feels good to hear that
But now she's back to the street! What you gonna do?
Her three wishes , place to stay, people to be kind each other, no war ....I try to imagine the people who have millions what are their three wishes .....
So kind girl, hope to influence more people with your kindness all the best
Me too I hope so it got me thinking about the book breaking night about this girl name liz Murray who both both were addicted to drugs and had aids and she was homeless at 15 and decided to go back school and she got in to Harvard its based on a true story
Bless you, your an inspiration to many followers
Nice to see a success story posted Good luck darlin' and best regards All your dreams are on their way...♥️
Hey this video randomly popped up on my news feed. I recognised you because I met you when I lived in New York in 2014. I stopped and we chatted for a few minutes and you were telling me you were saving your money to move to San Francisco. I moved home to Ireland after that and have since moved to Australia. What a lovely surprise to see this video and even better to know you’re doing well now. Wishing you the best for the rest of your life ❤️
Damn her eyes were like she was about to cry, and somehow she still managed to smile..🌻
You are deep Aditya.
When she said hot,then i feel it

All her eyes show, is a druged up junkie.

Great to hear that. I am Australian and we have a lot of homeless people here too, very sad situation. I am pleased for you. x
Love that you’re off the streets and doing better
The pain in her eyes are telling me her society let her down. I can see in the comment that she is fine now, that makes me glad.

She really looks highly educated and she deserves to live a better life
Your first mistake is assuming she "deserves" anything....
shawn murray everyone deserves better than that. Gotta show a little empathy sometimes.

I´m really happy you´re doing well, you seem like a great person. I can´t imagine how it can be ending up in a situation like that at such a young age. This is great example of how we can take someone under our wing and help them figure out their stuff so they can have a better situation, like your friend did with you.

I was also homeless when I went for a Job/apprenticeship from my hometown Hamburg to Berlin. My partner (student) and I found luckily an apartment, but after 1 year the landlord sold the entire house to an investor. Things broke apart. We couldnt make it to pay the high rent anymore, we did not find a new apartment together. I became homeless, my mother did / does not care about me and it's common here, that the parents sign the contract of renting the flat. The landlords often choose from 150+ candidates for one flat and compare the income of the parents. I reached out to my mom for help when I became homeless, but she said get a job and make it on your own. She could not even imagine I had a job!! and that things like this can happen to everyone though! I Even heard similar stories about young couples in their 30s, also debt free, who have a good salary, working several years in the same company with savings etc, couldn't find something. Or families, who still live in a 35m2 room with their babies/children, searching years for something bigger. It was a hard time. I noticed that here are also many students that live only in their car and shower in the gyms. Now I made it on my own, but the time left so many scars in my head. It changed me, changed my vision of society.. And by reading some comments I realize, that the few strangers on the street cared more for me, than my own mother. Please people, don't let the world become a greedy, egoistic, lonely place.
Hi
Same here in Mumbai India
My mom also didn't want me around. When I was 15 she had my dad throw me out. We lived in L.A. and I spent the next 1 1/2 years hitchhiking between S. California and N. California on Highway 99. Spent a week with a preacher and his family living in a VW Bus just outside of Yosemite and ate veggie hot dogs everyday. This happened in 1969. Had to talk my way
out of some old guy wanting sex and had to fight my way out of another car where the guy wanted to rape me. I was 16 then. During those years I met some really nice people who would give money or food or anything they could to help. I repaid when I met another guy hitchhiking who had been robbed of everything he owned, including his shoes! I gave him an
extra pair of boots I had and some socks and a shirt. It wasn't fun living on the road, having cowboys in Bakersfield throwing beer bottles at me on the entrance to the highway and then
circling around and doing it again. I learned the hard way to not accept rides to Bakersfield, either go past or just before but don't get dropped off there! In 1971 my Dad asked me if
I would come home. I did and 9 months later I joined the Army on the "enlist for the draft" deal they had going. Even though I missed my last two years of High School I passed the GED test and went in the Army. Spent 3 years, got out, got a job and now I'm happily married and retired. I'm 67 now and still remember some of the people who were kind to me then.

So sad to see one of many beautiful souls suffers in homelessness. She have the pure of heart, 2 of 3 wishes didn't even necessarily apply for her immediate benefits. God bless her.
I do not understand what kind of people dislike this heart-touching video ! Even beyond the worst kind of perverts !
She is now in her feet
You are a true inspiration for everyone
Never give up your hope and try try again unless you get succeed
What a sweet, sad young lady. I read her update and hoping, praying, that she continues to do well. She deserves to live a peaceful, happy life where she's healthy and safe.
We all deserve that, you have to work for it, does NOT come automatically in life,,,,,
Sad eyes with that piercing smile made me think about our broken humanity :( and she's gorgeous
i thought u were going to say the monalisa :D
@@sharpshooter7220 if I was there then I propose her
@@factshop2735 well you shouldnt propose to people based on their beauty or their story no matter how sad it is marriage is about harmony :)
@@sharpshooter7220 you are right
You didn't make her poor. Stop crying kid.
I'm basically looking such videos to learn that people fight back when things get worse. Here Iam along with many others taking life for granted and wasting my time with social media. Thank you for teaching me some valuable lessons
Fantastic!! I salute you!!
