These videos are phoquing enlightening , push then out as fast as you can . Maybe a 'Fan only link for the homeless girls of Hasting

To the interviewer you have a very pleasant voice and that really helps for the people and the listener. I hope Allie can find a place soon that is suitable for her and gets the help she needs. 😊🌺💖🌺👍

Stay strong Allie, I’m sorry that your going through some difficult challenges. I hear so many people are homeless now around the world. We need to all stand together & help each other out. 🙏

I hope you found sobriety and reconnected with your kids Allie-I wish you and others who are also trying to change their situation strength,healing and wellness

Allie, you should think about coming back to Courtenay. We have Salvation army shelter, The juntion shelter and they will be building a new shelter in the next year close to Ryan road. This shelter will house 50 or 60 cant really remember and also have shelter for 60 more...

I wish you good luck, Allie and may the force be with you! Really !

I’m praying you do really well Allie ❤️🙏🏻 I hope you have housing and good work. Look after yourself kind lady x

Thanks so much for your sweet message for Allie.❤

I hope Allie can access You tube to read all the supportive comments. She is a sweetheart.

This interviewer is trusted naturally by these vulnerable individuals because of the honest unjudgemental attitude of the interviewer. Excellent job of connection.

Allie, please don't give up. You can do this , 💪 ❤

This lady has kind eyes. I hope she is doing well.

I hope you get away from there Allie. Please. Never stop trying. I’m watching this because I keep hoping to catch a glimpse of our son walking by. He died there just before Christmas last year, right after getting out of rehab for the 4th(?) time. He was such a good, sweet boy..but fentanyl snuck in and he OD’d on the fucking street there. Don’t break your family’s hearts. Leave that shit behind you😢❤We’ll always Love You Son💔

Yes. Thank you for doing these videos. They are our children, brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers. We love them and we need to do right by them. They’re not bad people they just need the right help. Housing first then safe supply. I know because I’m helping my daughter who is using crack/fentanyl. We need programs that will really make a difference in our lives. I’m the mother and my whole family is affected by this. I’m pretty much the sole provider for my daughter. If we help the drug users then they can give back and be functional citizens and good people. When you receive is when you’re able to give back. 🌈🍄🌹

I just came across your channel, great interview, I’m wishing her safety and hopefully she has housing soon. Watching from: NewJersey ❤

Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment, and your kind wishes for Allie! 🩷 ps Also, thanks for letting me know where you're watching from--so nice to know. Hope all is well with you there!😊

Agree. We've been sold the idea of housing first. Addiction is powerful and that's a whole different story.

Allie you are worth having a good life again. Never give up trying to get sober. I wish you all the best! ❤️🇨🇦

Alcoholism - giving up everything for one thing. Sobriety - giving up onr thing for everything. Why is the choice so difficult for these substance abusers? Are drugs more important than being with their family and children?

Poor sweet Allie, I wish the best for you.

Blessings; a home and good luck for Allie.

I could t afford to raise my first child ....so I had 2 more with the guy from the bar. Where does personal responsibility matter ?

The PAST will not change anything for Allie, and where would you like to start?? This is one of the ugliest and stupidest comments ever. TRAUMA. Look it up!

She's had a hard life☹

What this NDP government has done to the beautiful people of our beautiful province is criminal

We all start out with nothing and then we have kids and a dream and then….. bad choices take over

Ran a business, valuable skills even if it was a cleaning business, business is business.

She needs a lot of help her mind is clear but

While this is an excellent concept....you might have chosen a slightly quieter location. The traffic and background noise is horrendous.

she completely skipped over her childhood and went straight to age 16

Actually, you might be interested in knowing that Allie met with me for a second interview to talk about her earlier years. I'll leave the link here if you're interested 🙂 kzread.info/dash/bejne/Znens8yek6_UebA.htmlsi=E5Ii1DA0hG0v7orH

I wish there was more spiritual help with drug addiction. More mention of "talk to God, ask God for help".

Thanks for offering this suggestion. I've been pondering this as well and will implement something of the sort soon. Many thanks again. God bless 😊🩷🙏

If I hadn't asked a power greater than myself, for help, I wouldn't be here sober for the last 28 years. An "honest" plea does work. God bless you Allie!

So what is your socialist premier doing for you and other homeless folks doing sumptin or nothin .

@@jeffsullivan2044 you got that right

More housing is not the solution. "More housing" just stay in words, there will not be enough housing even if the housing does increase a little over time. It takes a very long time to get "more housing", in fact, it might take forever. By contrast, homeless is in crisis now and right away, people are dying,suffering and aging day by day without a place to call home. So "More housing" is not resolving the crisis of homeless and safety. The only solution is Cheap Tiny Shelter/Cabin/Homes/Boxes/outhouse with the freedom of being able to create heat on one own. Allow burning wood, propane, gas for heat. People who is in need of a home will accept a basic box/shelter/container without power. Tiny cheap shelters/homes are easy and fast to build with nowadays technology. Because it's cheap and it's easy to build, it makes it fast for anyone to get one in time. It's more realistic and more likely to happen, and quicker to resolve the emergency of homelessness.Cheap Tiny Shelters/Cabins/Homes/Boxes/outhouses with the permit to make heat is the solution to the emergency of homeless. In no time, all people in need have a place to call home and stay safe. Please allow people to have small cheap basic shelters to ease the emergency in need of home and safety.
