A few months back I logged onto Facebook and was greeted by a smiling homeless woman's selfie in front of a tent holding up a cup of coffee. It was captioned "good morning." Today, I met Manda at her homeless encampment where she made me a cup of coffee!
Most of the time I meet homeless people in person on the streets or in a homeless shelter. Then we often connect online and become friends. Manda and I became friends online first. I got to know her a little before seeing how she survives homelessness. I am having a hard time processing it all. Lots of emotions both good and bad right now!
Manda is an amazing woman. She is disabled from severe brain trauma, yet because she is high functioning, she falls through the gaps in the safety net. I have been working with her trying to help find a path out of homelessness, but the walls bureaucracy are impossible to break through.
For all the people that believe homeless people are lazy, I wish they could just spend an hour in Manda's shoes! She works hard to keep her tent camp clean. She works hard getting to treatment and therapy. She works hard every single day trying to survive. And she works extremely hard to stay positive while facing the madness of homelessness each and every day!
We must get Manda out from under that bridge into housing. Because of her health and being a woman out on the streets, she is extremely vulnerable living outside. If you are connected to social services in Seattle or know anyone that is, please reach out to them and forward Manda's story. I have talked to her social worker. Her health issues are severe, and we need to get this woman inside!

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.
This isn’t just talk. Each year, our groundbreaking educational content reaches more than a billion people across the globe. Our real and unfiltered stories of homelessness shatter stereotypes, demand attention and deliver a call-to-action that is being answered by governments, major brands, nonprofit organizations, and everyday citizens just like you.
However, there is more work to be done on the road ahead. Homelessness is undoubtedly one of our biggest societal issues today and will only continue to grow if we don’t take action now.
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.

I noticed that you made these homeless people smiled when you talked to them. It appeared homeless people believed someone cared for them. I think all human beings have the need to feel special or important, similar to love, which is a human need.
+Ca La, I'll second that.
I know her mailing address but not sure if she wants it public so I don’t want to post here. She also can receive via Amazon Lockers. My email is mark (at) invisible people (dot) tv
what i find amazing is that with how many people that have wayyyyy to much that there are still homeless people . its all greed and a greedy gov . build towns for the poor with the poor . make the gov work with us in helping to achieve this goal .
Invisible People so how about I offer her a job and a place to live instead of sending money
Breaks my heart how she went from smiling to crying. You can see the pain.
You shutup! I never said she wasn't positive. She's a pretty strong person and I give her a lot of credit for who she is. But what I'm saying is that those were not tears of joy. Any fool can see that she was hurt at that moment.
@@orchid1229 both parties are one big club dumb ass. Both wings are part of the same shitty bird.
Sometimes the people that look the happiest are really the saddest.
All of you shut up
😭
I feel everything she's saying. When I was homeless for 3 years, I remember telling myself over and over, "If you have no one else in the world, you have yourself. Don't hurt the only thing you have." So I fought to stay positive.
very true elijah
hi from Indonesia
If I can ask, what did you do to get off the streets?
@@coreyzamprogno5510 I ran into some guys from a church (at a picnic near the shelter that I stayed in) that encouraged my life and my potential. One of the guys was a life coach that used me for a trial run. He helped me to gain a better perspective of my life and how who I want to be is up to me and their are no limits or excuses. I also made some really good friends who just cared about my progression. So I got a job stayed with a friend (paid what I could), got a GED, went to college, and kept climbing up. I also became apart of a drug recovery program at the church called chemical recovery to deal with my addictions. It's been about 10 years now, and I'm married, been to 4 countries in the past year, have a great job and the main provider for my family. Ive volunteered and encouraged people at the shelter that I lived in and have invested in the lives of a lot of people. Most of it my perspective came from learning from Jesus on how to serve others. I learned how it's better to give than to receive and it helped put me in a much better mindset because I realized that I really matter to the world.
How to find food if you're homeless? Coz in my country many homeless people search second hand things for food
@@anih4808 I'm sorry to hear that. Are there food markets that have food leftover? There are programs that feed the homeless in my country. Are there programs like such in yours?
How heartbreaking. I want to hug her, feed her, and tuck her into a nice, warm bed so she can rest peacefully. I hope her life got drastically better in the 6 years since this post was made.
It did! She has a home now and is happy.
I have known this lady for about a year now through work on a Homeless Council and have NO IDEA of what she has been through or where she came from. THIS is an extremely powerful video and really brings humanity to the crisis of homelessness that we face globally.
How is she doing?…
Humans are stupid. Shut up
You know? Every time I see someone in this situation, I remind myself that this person was somebody’s baby at one time. Their precious child. How would you like it if your child ended up in this situation? Most of us couldn’t comprehend the pain we would have if our little ones lived in such a way. Maybe I’m naive, but there’s gotta be a better way to prevent this. Just breaks my heart. -Stephen
BuckeyeBushcraft L. Parents abandon kids. You'd be surprised where we live... who we are... what we look like... and how we cope.
thank you of your comment BuckeyeBushcraft god bless all
BuckeyeBushcraft L. . Spoken very well I agree she's about my older daughter's age and that's exactly what I think this video made me cry.
BuckeyeBushcraft L. We have to pray for her you're right this is Somebody's Baby peace Lord pray for her
BuckeyeBushcraft L. I agree. Once I had my son I always picture him in that situation and it makes it even more painful. No matter how old our children get,their still our babies and I can’t imagine finding out my child was going through this. It angers me that in this day there is still so little being done for people in these situations.
Just so y’all know, she’s been off the streets and runs a RUclips channel by the name of Amanda Richer❤️
I love seeing people overcome hardships
Thank you so much for telling us
Thank you!! How does this comment not have more likes!?
Thank you !!
Subscribed straightaway
Thanks for mentioning man
There is nobody I have ever seen, no conversation, story, poem, or even song that is more inspirational than this. You can see the deep struggle and you can see her facade break multiple times, but every time she puts it back up with a smile and looks at the positive. She’s the most inspirational person I’ve seen.
Way more inspirational than 90% of people that Are near me who "Protects" me.
man... that's true... i'll never have self pity again, she's a hero. best real hero i have ever seen
it's a coping mechanism that keeps you alive but wont let her heal
She is like Janis Joplin.
She's trying to hold back the pain and tears you can see it in her eyes 🥺
“Those with the brightest smiles have the most pain to hide.”
I feel this
So true
Thank you I'll add this quote to my list.
Cortnee Muhlbauer......thank you Dr. Phil ?
Cortnee Muhlbauer 😠
This lady is a beautiful human being. Some of us are close to being homeless anytime
Most not some and if our society keeps it up AI will put us all out of work.
A lot.....a few paychecks from it. It's the new norm of American societal culture.
It has been PROVEN most Americans are 2 paychecks away from losing everything.
Many live on credit....
This has past trauma & has to deal with being homeless too.
😥😥😥
The next storm, fire, high tide, or financial crisis can make thousands of new 'homeless' folks. It happens every day. Not having a roof over your head should NOT cause negative attitudes. We don't know exactly what has caused the dilemma. It can be us tomorrow, without warning.
I’m from uk, I notice there’s so many now living in there vehicles now, I know the problem in USA is huge, watch a lot of videos on it, it’s really heart breaking.
What a beautiful Lady and Soul.... You are a True Inspiration......
She is so brave !
What a beautiful woman !!
She's a tired warrior. Give her her badge of honor and an honorable discharge from homelessness.
Well said
So well said, thank you
You nailed it. Well said.
Facts
Very tired!
Her RUclips channel is Amanda richer she’s not homeless anymore I’m so proud of her she is such a strong women she tried I love her she is the best 💘
Thank God
Where Channel her, thanks god
Oh good. She made it and got out and didnt have a victim mentality.
God did that
Her soul is "Richer" than she realizes 😊
I originally saw this years ago, my oldest was five at the time. My heart recognize the pain in her eyes, and I never forgot it.
Since then, it has gotten so much more expensive here. Today I sit with an eviction notice that I never in a million years could have thought I would have. My oldest is nine. I'm scared. I'm so scared.
Many blessings to you
What a beautiful person! Truly a Disney princess with a warm heart and beautiful smile that no one can take away from her🫶a soul of true spirit. Bless her💝
She didn’t even wish for a house she wished for strength, understanding & to help others. This lady is an angel 😇
The unfortunately reality is that she needs to help herself first to help others effectively.
Awesome its the things you miss that are mist simple I got hope for her but she got to stand face to face with satin and never be afraid and stations is your closest friend can be family or to shy at ßf
❤️
Declan Commander why not show her how to help, mr. wise
@@declanc1856 she did
I was homeless for a year when I was 17. Living alone, in a tent in an field. Every night I fell asleep with thoughts of ending my life. I eventually finished high school, found a job and began the slow process of building a life. Im 40 now and things are far from perfect, but I have 2 sons that give my life purpose. And that is to give them a childhood I never had. I hope she keeps going and finds purpose. Stay strong beautiful soul.
Sorry, I'm not very gifted with words but I'm very happy to hear you overcoming your hardship. May God bless you and your 2 sons with the best of what life has to offer.
May you always stay strong and happy. God bless you.
What you really should give your children , is not what you never had , but things you never knew...
Its not to late to immigrate out of the country. Germany has americans and they love the medical care cost and also, social safty net is better. LOTS of americans left when trump was in office. Ohh get your degree...its a life saver.
On the other hand. 💊I'm sharing Acts 2:38 with anyone who wants it bless
Never give up.. there s a goodie waiting for you on the next turn.your life might change .on every turn you take.
She seems like a beautiful person and I would be proud to have her as my friend
I see it's been 4 years since this was posted. I certainly hope this beautiful lady has found a way out. I would be willing to help her. I pray for her. If she'd would consider moving to Phoenix I would be proud to have a lady like that.
She's actually not homeless anymore. Her name is Amanda Richer on RUclips.
By the way it sounds she would be very lucky to have u. If I could I would send her money to save up and get herself food with so she could save n get a place of her own one day if I could get ahold of her n I'm n Alabama too far away
Glad to here she not homeless any more and I sure hope she is being treated well. She deserves to be treated like a queen. 👑
She’s doing amazingly and has a channel go support! ruclips.net/user/AmandaRicher
@@speakingofgreg thank you for the update she truly is a beautiful soul !! Who knows what she was in the past maybe she was a lawyer,doctor engineer etc !! beautiful update
You can see the pain in her eyes.
I cant
No doubt about it. This girl is definitely in pain.
@@SRoseBlog agh that not good. If you can't tell she is in pain maybe you should go to the hospital and have them make sure you still have your heart.....have them do a double check. Have a good day 🙏
Sophie Cauthorn having a heart is not always a good thing. You can easily get backstabbed ;)
@@MK-ys2vz ya but by getting stabbed in the back you learn more from it and know how to handle it. You also learn what many other people are going through and that you need to help if you like it or not. 😘
Wow, I adore her. She literally SOUNDS just like a Disney Princess. She would be a fantastic voice actor! I heard she is doing better now and that warms my heart.
As you the same way I thought
You know what? She really does sound like a disney princess..
Excellent observation. She can probably sing pretty well too.
She has a house now. Happy life 😃
Agree
She is an amazing woman. I started crying because it hits home for me and millions of others. We are supposed to be the strongest country in the world, but these poor people are treated like dirt. Just like health care, it is a right not a privilege to have walls and a roof over their head. All I can say is, "Why."
It breaks my heart to see this poor woman in pain like this 💔😢 Nobody deserves to be in a situation like this!
Her voice needs to be discovered , she literally sounds like a Disney princess
i thought the exact same thing! like elsa or something
carley renee yes literally !!
Yeah indeed she has enormous talent
Agreed
@Leonardo Paredes take your negativity somewhere else. People should be able to come to the comments and spread positivity without people like you finding negatives within.
This woman is like a miracle in this cruel world.
So don't be PART OF THE CRUEL WORLD FOR ALLLLLLL THE HOMELESS ALL COLORS AGES MEAN are NICE BC THE LONGER THEY R OUT THERE SHE WILL BE JUST LIKE THE ONES U FEEL the other DON'T NEED WHAT SHE NEEDS THATS A FACT . SHE IS NO BETTER THEN ANY OF ANY HOMELESS WHITE BLOND DONT MAKE HER BETTER THEN THE HOMELESS SHE IS IN LIKE ALLLLL OTHERS OUT THERE .
No she’s not. She’s a liberal cry baby.
Bullshit the world is cruel to everyone stoooop being a pussy and get to work .
@TRUMP 2020 finally someone who gets it bad time's come and go pussy people will always lay in there waste.
Bee D yes she is
Cruel world, some with absolutely everything, some with absolutely nothing
I wish this lady the best
Wow.... when she replied Seattle is beautiful to the first question... That summed her up for me. Beautiful person
Someone needs to find this lady and give her a hand up she's not a bad person she seems like she just needs a helping hand to get back on her feet again love her personality.
She posted an update in the comments, she’s doing great and is making videos “Amanda richer”
Tammy Douglas, really? It’s a very good news!
This was 2 years ago, just imagine how much more homeless there is now.
@@StinkyDustyBird
Thanks God for that x
@Namy
Agreed
This woman’s heart is as close to world peace as we’ll get.
@@brothertyler fuck you man life is hard don’t sit there and judge her this woman is so grateful and real she’s trying to live her life to the best ability
@@jdakid1765 if you were to write down what she is saying, and read it aloud, you would sound like you had mental health issues. These people need help, not to be sensationalized by youtube. Put her in an institution.
You must be fun at parties...
@gunit 010 donald trump is close to world piece?
@@brothertyler Tyler, it only took two short sentences for you to reveal that you don't know a wit what you're talking about. You are ignorant, there is a lot to learn, and you could start today.
What a lovely soul. I hope things work out for her. It's great that she can cling to the nice stuff in the world, like birdsong, leaves etc, to lift her spirits. I'm sure she lifts the spirits of a lot of people she meets.
She is a sweetheart, and she is brilliant!
She is more intelligent than most people in the Congress
@Wiggeltje Woepie
There is a very big difference between being intelligent and being astute.
The intelligent man serves humanity and enriches it, vitalizes it.
The cunning uses humanity and impoverishes it. Is a parasite.
In this case, we all need a roof, but if some have luxurious homes and others do not even have a room, the former are the parasites product of the inequality system.
That is why in the second commandment, God tells us to love others as we love ourselves.
Is it understood or not?
Only the intelligent, sensitive and of good will understand it.
With much love for each one of Boyana Skrbic from Chile. 🙋🏻♀️💖🇨🇱
( Google translation )
@Wiggeltje Woepie no need to be sorry! As he quotes the biggest lie known to mankind! She can't be all that intelligent if she lives under a bridge and starts crying when talking about it! Only yourself puts you in situations like this and she will not be able to dig herself out!
i’m from seattle, and i met a lot of really intelligent homeless people. i hate the stigma around all of homeless people.
TOUCHE’!!
The Congress and the presidant NEED TO GO BE HOMELESS TO THE FULLEST RAWEST FOR 24 HOURS TO SEE WHAT IT REALLY LIKE MAYBE IT WILL STOP THEM FROM WAITING THOUSANDS OF $$$$$ ON GATHERINGS IN MEALS TOGETHER THEY DONT EAT . AND THE WORLD WLDNT BE AS IT HAS BECOME . THEY HEED TO FEEL WHAT IT IS TO LIVE RAW .
I'm from south London and ended up homeless due to being evicted for rent arrears of 79 pounds which was devastating I lost everything basically as I had no where to go, my boss found out and sacked me...so I saved money while on the streets to pay for my cscs test which allows you to work on building sites, after 3 weeks of passing I got a job labouring for a plumbing company I saved an saved for 9 months while working homeless an 8 years after all this I'm a fully qualified heating engineer but will never forget what happened so people please do not treat the homeless like they are invisible they are still human god bless you all
Flid Arse... Wow!! You are amazing! I am so very happy to hear that you not only got thru it ok, but you got on top of this awful situation and are doing well now!! Congratulations! Your hard work paid off for You! It just kills me knowing so many people worldwide are homeless and that it gets worse every years! It's a terrifying problem, a lot closer to many of us than most people realize or wish to know.
Flid Arse km homeless and people treat me like shit. I asked a man for a sandwich he said “plenty of dumpsters near by, you’re not worthy of my money” 💔 breaks my heart
@@jodipipkins5579 bless ya I hope things work out for you x
Your old boss sounded like a right prick. I live in south London too and I know just how close we all are to being out there on the roads with these unfortunate people. All it takes is a couple of bad decisions. God bless
@@jodipipkins5579 that's disgusting I'm sorry you deal with this shit from another human what's your current situation if you don't mind me asking
I know this video is very old but I wish there was a way I can tell this amazing human she just saved my life
Today I checked comments, which has been a long time for me. I hope you are doing well and I am glad you are still here on this crazy world of ours 🥰
It break my heart to see a broken intelligent person like this girl. Why is no one helping her. She is really nice. Praying for her. 😱🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Could you imagine how positive she was BEFORE she was homeless? Blessings and prayers to her, I hope someone lends a helping hand to her.
Wow!!! My thoughts exactly..."Before" ....key word there.
🙏
I imagine how she survive very Hard in his life . It's heartbreaking .any one does not help him family, friends and nation .
Look at the link.
She has a home now, and her own RUclips channel
She has a beautiful spirit.
Shut up!!!
What the hell is your problem, telling this person to shut up and/or die? Are you allergic to kind words being said about someone? Not a believer in God, I can tell.
Still no excuse to jump on this person like you did.
@@michael9000 i believe in Jesus christ and God.. people are so bad.. You dont understand. He made me angry....
Jane made you angry enough to say this to her, she wasn't even talking to you or about you.
@@michael9000 you dont understand.... so shut up!!
When you meet people in the public you never know what they going thru. Respect everyone
She say 3 wishes is a lot and she wish for others...
Can you see how beautiful she is ?
God bless you beautiful lady !!!
She’s so well spoken & intellectual. Really opened my eyes how not all homeless are lazy, drug addicts.
Never underestimate how much life can kick you in the curb. Most terrible situation can happen to anybody of us
We can all be lazy. Use drugs, at first occasionally. But what it really is is the death of the idea of god. What is the point of experiencing pain if the end result is the same? To suffer seems to be the actual truth, the reason. So the only question, for a genius, is to be or not to be? And if you choose to be, you choose to live, love, kill, eat, shit, and die.
Not everyone is able to fool themselves. Not everyone believes the lies that they tell themselves. When you can't even pretend to believe in the comforts (god, gods, spirits, and meaning) you go back to the earth.
You re correct, im a pilot and skydiver, i speak 3 languages and ive been homeless for over a year now...i dont do drugs i dont even drink or smoke
No, not all homeless people are what you expect - so many people are naive as to how this can actually happen. DO NOT think that this could never happen to you. Living in a world where most people are self-absorbed and selfish - do you really think it could never happen to you? You wonder about their family, friends, and associates - well, keep wondering! You have to have unconditional love and patience to deal with a love one misfortune in life - unconditional - which is really RARE! Becoming homeless allow you also to see people for what and who they REALLY are.....my heart feel her pain and know the pain she feels - so much disappointment in humanity as a whole. So much disappointment!!!
@@ricardonagy9130 I wish you all the best for your future

Wow my darling, you are not only a bridge but a beautiful portal going through all of this to teach through compassion. I am so grateful you exist 🙏❤️✨
I pray this woman will be blessed.❤
She tried to keep herself from breaking down and covered her sad expression with a smile. I feel really sad. But she’s active,I admired this.
I think that's acting

Can't you see true feelings .
Honestly. I would give her everything I have . She’s so broken but so put together at the same time .

Don't say things like that. It's disrespectful. Because you don't mean it.

“A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members.” ~ Ghandi
Exactly.
Ghandi also promoted the Aryan Brotherhood while he lived in South Africa. Ghandi also campaigned to segregate native blacks from the whites and Indians living in South Africa. Ghandi’s campaign in South Africa promoted white supremacy. Look it up if you don’t believe me.

No. Weak members are like a chain in the link. You can't fix them. The chain link either has to break or fix itself
That old man lived in a time where racism was normal.
I can relate...I was homeless for 20 years sleeping from one place to another then finally moved under a bridge for 3 years( I-95 and I-10 merger) in Jacksonville Florida. Then later I moved into a abandoned 3 car garage for another 3 years then finally I was discovered there by the owners. Rather than being put in jail for vagrancy they reached out and helped me and now I finnally have an apartment that I been been living in for about 5 years now and still going strong. God works through people to people always believe and never give up. Even though I was homeless I was happy and had lots of good times surviving. It was a great outdoor adventure, I was resilient and determined, and it was just like she said like camping out because we cooked out on homemade open grills dranked plenty beer and smoked plenty weed to help us get through the days. Other homeless friends who I can truly call friends looked out for each other and each other's stuff and belongings. We went to the food banks and got food and every month food stamps would come and help us. We had huge igloo coolers with ice for our meats and stuff. We took showers either at the mission's or homeless shelters or we improvised and found a isolated water hydrant, it maybe was cold especially during the winter but it did the job. Believe me when I tell you can be homeless and still be content just stay faithful and be resilient and change will come and that is my honest testimony. Im'ma living witness. God bless ya'll and just keep your head up and smile😇
My kids used to volunteer at a church that provided showers, meals, clothes and medical. They genuinely enjoyed interacting with the homeless community. We moved away and we heard the church was talking about stopping the outreach. It saddens me because reading your comment shows it is very much needed and appreciated. I think some don't understand the transition from homeless can take many years and require ongoing community support. We can't give up on one another. A great minister said, "There but for the grace of God there go I."
Hi-Five, Gary!! Very excited for you! Thank you for sharing that testimony!
Thank you Gary, in in love with you and with woman in the video you strengthened my faith and wowwed me. I wish there was more people like you
What a beautiful soul she has... Hope she's doing well
So proud of you I was homeless for 13 years and it was ruff but made me stronger and had my lurn so much about my self and others...God bless you
Her voice is so beautiful ,they should give her a voice actor job
I was thinking of that too omg
Definitely can see that in her
agreed, her voice is beautiful, but who the fuck exactly is "they" in "they should give her a voice actor job?"
Yes bro nice voice
@CrazyLegsMcGee Time to let people believe in and be happy with whatever they want to be.
God bless her she is so strong 💪
Bob Smith bad idea, all that money would go on a massive binge that could result in an OD.
What a beautiful selfless lady!
Neema's world she can’t even finish a sentence without breaking down. Strength would be NOT living under a bridge. If she was strong she would be able to keep herself together despite the terrible abuse she has obviously suffered. God bless her yes, but she is very weak.
Mark Seven - you pretentious fucking punk-ass piece of shit. *FUCK YOU*
Tionna Outen - your god is a useless myth. Grow the fuck up....
People who are not gone through thiese sort of devastating times never ever would realise the pain she and other homeless people go through.
The pain is unbelievable and destroys the inner self of a person. It could be one of the most horrible and harshest things happen to a human being.
A kind word and the smallest possible kindness is very huge thing in this condition. Help, support, realising their pain contributing towards their betterment and very rich people who may be able to provide a simple habitat to a one homeless person are few great steps to ease homeless people's sufferings.
Made me cry. I pray for this sweet, beautiful soul.
I just found her on Twitter and then Instagram. She’s no longer homeless and seems to be doing great these days. ❤️
I'm just glad that she's ok
Great to hear that God always helps people like her it’s just a test in life
That's great
Thanks for the info. I believe she earned also a better life. It is very sad, that people have to live like she, in a rich country. But not only in the USA. In Germany, there are also people on the streets. At least in some big cities.
What'is her IG
This woman is an absolute angel.
Is there a go fund me for her?

@Sam Armstrong no she is fine and has a channel called Amanda richer
Positive is the only way survive in this world. Is ver hard seeing people in this condition. Good vibes for this woman.
Cruel world. Hope she’s ok now ? God bless beautiful woman.
She went from crying to smiling 💔 she wants to be happy so badly
She has a RUclips channel called Amanda richer, she’s doing good now ☺️
Her mood swings are quite common for her disability. Very likely when she tears up it can be tears of joy or of a traumatic reminder. It's sad to see such a young woman in this position. More often then not the abuse she experiences in a homeless environment will never heal. I'll be keeping this young woman in my prayers.
no smiling from crying
She is so bright and warm, she’s like the sun personified.
i hope she gets to read this coment some time. i want her to know what most people in the comments here think abt her
She's on drugs
And a wreck
no she's dirty, drugged and very unhygienic.
leave her alone c"Cold Hearted People!"
What a beautiful soul. I wish I could give her a hug, if nothing else. God knows she deserves one.
For me, this woman embodies the essence of humanity.
She's a gorgeous woman, inside and out. I pray the best for her.
I cry with her...
Yes amazing. The opposite of the entire US political class. Especially the current psychopath currently glued to the thrown.
@@stephanguitar9778 Leave that mess of a puppet show out of it, this is a wholesome video that doesn't need political sewage dumped on it
@@cherrysprite3059 I really would like to but the vile politics of today is at the very core of it. Fighting politicians as I do in the UK every day for similar issues as this. They are cold, self serving, callous and disinterested in anything that doesn't serve their wallets or ego's. Its politicians in the UK and in Australia where I have family who destroyed social housing in favour of private landlords and greed. Hence the increasing levels of homelessness.
this lady is rich in another way, she has a beautiful soul.
yes, unfortunately beautiful souls are the ones who take the most damage in this world!
Sounds very tempting ... what a snotty bull shit ... nice person gets homeless, well, but she has a beautiful soul... What a hypocrisy!! Like thanksgiving... majority of population are not even capable to comprehend the irony ...
Hope someone could help her. 🙏 she has a big heart ❤ GOD BLESS HER.
Oh please........the whole purpose of life isn't about defining words like rich and poor in ways that cater to making aomeone feel good about their circumstances. As her soul suffers soley based on what she's going through even though she doesn't have to. As there are an array of programs that set in place to assist individuals as such, when things like this happen. But these programs usually employ low lives and the likes of those with mental illnesses that actually believe they have vision and insight for the unfortunate. What a joke. Saying that her soul is rich means and does absolutely nothing for her. Neither are those that are souless giving a rats ass due to the need to envy. As they don't care about being souless.
I'll move her in
I noticed when telling him what her three wishes were it wasn't about her. They had to do with mankind and her peers experiencing life the same way. An incredibly lovely soul. Thank you for showing this. God's speed!
this woman is what america and humanity is all about, be positive!!!
She has a rare health condition: A HEART OF GOLD. God bless you and God bless this channel and every good person who really cares about people. Sorry for bad writing
Milos Vukosavljevic I AGREE WITH YOU 100% GOD BLESS YOU
This was really painful to watch. This woman is in a hell of a lot of pain, and I really admire her courage to continue. I truly hope she gets a lucky break. Its so important, to value what we have in life.
Linda Hill not fair
Gok Wan ur gross
Robert MacDuffie how do you know?
Linda Hill i
Genuinely teared up watching this. She seems like such a sweet kind woman and she's clearly in so much pain
Where are her family and friends? I can't believe that no one has tried to help her? From Ms. Harper Stacey.
This broke my heart,, please can't we help these poor people, especially those that still remain positive, xxx
This lady is strong inside. She will not be defeated.
Del Halley fucking dumbass she will prob not me homeless in these days
Strong? Man, if this is your idea of stronge then you're slapping the faces of all of those who come back from far worse conditions and turned their hardships into successes. She's dealing with her issues right now and now is not the time to tell her what she is doing is "strong".
@Del Halley she is no more homeless watch the follow-up videos.
Some people sell their souls for money. This lady is rich in heart
Don't lose hope just be strong in every single day
The title is glorifying her situation. She deserves better. It's clear that she is experiencing a lot of pain.
This is your takeaway?
totally agree.
I wish I could buy her a house.
I mean. Title is still acurrate.
It didnt stop her will and strenght, even though she struggles and suffers from it she keeps fighting and dont want to give up.
I pray for her well being.
Its not glorifying her situation, just saying shes homeless and is still positive and working her hardest
WOW THIS WOMAN IS SOMETHING. This whole story is just the most touching words you ever heard.
GOD BLESS HER ALWAYS. SHES A VERY SWEET GIRL SPEAKING UP. AWESOME♡♡♡♡
She has a big heart over other rich people I had known.This woman is rich inside.God loves her so much I believe.
Yes He does...It’s so incredibly heartbreaking!
@Marco God is surely taking care of her my friend
@Marco God wants only one, God wants save you and me and her too , not to mention about this world but so quite people's really want it. Because they just pretending about . God loves each human but He won't be force them , Well I so little English , dont assume me about. God loves you, just try to read His Word.
She is rich spiritually
Yes Holy God loves everyone very much
She needs to do a TED talk. Or she could write a book and become a motivational speaker She is so well spoken and smart, so positive and grateful.
Shellina Musa Agree
Yes. Someone needs to make this viral...
I admire this woman for her strong personality. Just pray and God will find a way to help you.
Thank you! ❤I really needed to hear this right now!! God Bless you!! ❤
Hope this goes viral and we can get her a place to say. She’s such a beautiful person 😢
Patricia Buckley lol chill I’m black my mom don’t allow me to have girls in the house lol
She chooses to be homeless, who gives a fuck.

she probably ended up there by using drugs and shit. seatle is a shithole pretty sure rent is cheap there
egje EORWIJ one bedroom apartment $1800 a month in seattle
Homeless, humble, and graceful. This intelligent woman needs shelter and opportunities.. Im praying fo herr tonight
She's cool now bro...thank God! She has her apartment, her dog, she's vlogging...she's allright now. Thanks for your thought
@@bogdanpruteanu4258 where can I see her vlog?
@@startingtogetannoyed I couldn't find her vlogging but in the description you'll get links with her shopping for furniture for her apartment. I'll try to drop the link...
Sure does!
Well said sir🙂
This is possibly the most heart-wrenching and painful video to date. And now I'm emotionally invested into checking her RUclips page just to make sure she's doing okay. 🥺
On the face of the video, one of the most genuine people I've ever seen.
This woman is a rarity. Beautiful outlook. Most people don’t have this capability, to look life in the eye and be real about it, and still have a positive outlook.
I want to give her a hug. I lived for 14 years from the age of 12 till 26 homeless under bridges addiction prostitution just to eat. This is heart breaking to me. I will never forget where I come from.. So hard. Someone needs to rescue our brothers and sisters. Most times people suffer in silence . Most times when one does not know how to help it is because basic necessity and number one importance is a place to call home in order to heal and or start the process of brushing off the ick life sometimes deals us. Some are affected more than others and their only form of survival is to check out mentally as reality is far to hard to handle. May all of Gods children be valued period!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Carlos Sotelo you are sad and full of hate. Come back to the light! I have read all your comments about homelessness and you have been horrible to people who have had to live through it and you have the idea to kick them when they are down is completely inappropriate and wrong! May you carry love and empathy in your heart at all that hate will eat you up and spit you out. Facts!
@Carlos Sotelo I feel sorry for you.
I'm tearing up inside listening to this lady. May God open many doors for her that no one can shut. 🙏
And there are beautiful people like you god bless
Its so sad because you can see trying to force her smile, you can see the tears in her eyes
Breaks my heart to know that this people out there at some point in this world they were someone’s baby.
That’s why I hate horror movies, whenever people die in it a lot of the viewers don’t care but I always remember that that was somebody’s child.
@S.A. G what goes around comes around remember that.
S.A.G it's more then that, I was homeless. I was abandoned and lived with random people by the homeless shelter. Never did Christmas or birthdays. All I ever wanted was a mother and father. It is more then working hard and keeping your head down. You are a bystander, Let it die SAG. Like most of society just laughing at those in need and bitching when something goes wrong instead of understanding and moving for a way to provide a solution. Everyone is like you and that's why so many people are homeless and go to drugs. I fucking hate alcohol and drugs because it dumbs us down but my country loves dopamine and sex and partying and to be a fucking bystander like you. It hits me in the heart man really hard. We can get a home and we can do better but we have that emotion that exists of loss. I wear my best friends dog tag next to mine on my chest and I feel that pain every day. If I was lying dead on the street people would walk on past. The most they would do is call the cops of whom they rely on for help and disrespect. I wish I could show you the rape and the trouble I have had. I have done nothing but tried and tried. I am a Marine, I am a patriot. I try everyday man, your so closed minded. Not all of us are bad. I just wanted a mommy and a home.
@@bairtube983 it's really people who are like you who are the better ones. The Bible says laughter is good, but sadness is better because it refines us. You are a compassionate human being which seems to be waning more these days. People like you are the ones who give the world a soul and make a real difference.
@@tlc6756 Thank you
I am so sorry you are living this way. I am sure it is so so hard to do. I wish homelessness was non existent. I pray you will have a home soon. Need to address this issue as a nation. We all need to have a warm place to live. God bless you. Hugs... ❤
She's a sweetheart of a human being!
She didn't deserve to be in the situation she was placed in. None or at least most of us didn't ask nor want to be in the similar circumstance! God bless her, and everyone out there! 💖
I see the sadness in her eyes. Yet she stays positive, I am so lucky to have a home, a family and even pets I can talk to, express my feelings too, have fun with. Sometimes I don't realise how evil and naive I can be. This woman gives me faith in humanity again.
God bless her ❤🙏❤
We are all just a couple paychecks from being homeless.
Not all of us, but a ridiculous amount of us.
Facts. Nothing in this life is guaranteed.
I work a part time minimum wage job. I live in California where cost of living is high and I have medical expenses. I am very wise with my money, even with the little money I make I am far from a few paychecks away from being homeless.
Absolutely true.
Ignorant comment, most people live paycheck to paycheck and have little to no disposable income after paying bills, buying food and laying rent to assume people can save money really shows your privilege , be grateful, humble and show compassion for your fellow HUMAN , that's what the world needs, not judgement
This woman has my full respect.I hope that she’s better now.
This lady is an absolute boss. What a great attitude. Bless her.
Oh I love her. I'm not far from being homeless myself. I pray for her.
Hope you're doing okay yourself and things are looking up. Holidays always hit hard
How come? If I may ask...
Same.. I pray for us all
I'm from Britain were solving the homeless issue poor girl. It's an absolute disgrace that rich countries like ours allow this to happen
She has a home and a channel now
