I mean the solution isn't going to come from one individual. It's not even unrealistic to say we can get rid of homelessness in this country, it's just not how our system works.

What I like about this video is it shows positive people and organizations helping the unhoused . Bless this man! 💗

Lived on streets of London in early nineties as a teen girl. Ran away from abuse and the amount of "respectable looking couples" that approached me to have a threesome was mind-blowing I was 14-15 and baby faced, now at 45 with children of my own I would never judge a book by it's cover. All the best to this man and his son.

I was homeless almost 5 years ago in Iowa due to chronic serious heart diagnosis that prevented me from working. I was working and suddenly ended up in hospital and almost died. l I moved from rural area to a city of 60,000 by Omaha to get services since there are NONE in rural areas. DONT think there are no homeless in rural areas, be cause it happens every day. I lived in a tent with a guy through the summer but ended up in the hospital because of my living situation with my health issues. I was getting medical care every week. I eventually went to a wonderful shelter in Omaha that changed my life along with great services in the city I lived. I was never an addict, no mental health problems, I dont even smoke. I just had a chronic health issue that kept me from working. I still have not been able to get disability even after 5 years of trying. I help support myself with my art and crocheting that I sell. I have lived in my apartment for 4 years. I see homeless people everyday and help when I can and direct them to services if they want them.

I was homeless in southern California for about 3 months and learned a lot from the street folks. They made good $ panhandling and used the $ for drugs and alcohol while always going to eat at The Salvation Army and The Midnight Mission etc.....People ignorantly think that giving them $ is such a good thing and I would like to see their faces if they could actually see what was done with their $ given for various reasons the homeless would come up with to get it from them.

If you are an able body (walking around) then you need to be able to provide for yourself.! If no one will hire you then become a Boss.! Understand what credit can do for you, once you understand credit and how to use it correctly then your life will improve. So while these videos are out here, the ones making the videos should teach them about credit and help them use it wisely. Unfortunately alot of people who are homeless are not educated enough to do the right things in life. Sad but Truth.! ✊❤️

DO YOU KNOW WHY WE ARE LOSING THE WAR ON DRUGS IN AMERICA? There this strip club here in Las Vegas, Nevada that by the MIDDLE EASTERN. That place is not a strip club but more like a TRAP HOUSE! And what is a TRAP HOUSE it a place where you walked in there as a normal person but come out as a DRUG ADDICT! Let me tell you what happens at this strip club so you and your family don't fall for this TRAP. Most of the strip club close to the Las Vegas strip are good, there nothing wrong with those but there this one strip club just a bit outside the Las Vegas strip. THAT PLACE IS A TRAP HOUSE! Right when we got to the strip club, I felt something was a little bit of. They only have one other table that have customer. EVERY TIME THE STRIPPER WALKED BY OUR TABLE EVERYONE IS HIGH AS HELL! THE STRIPPER WAS WALKING BY OUR TABLE AND AT THE SAME TIME RELEASING SOME KIND ON DRUGS IN THE AIR!! THE DRUG IS AIRBORNE!! RIGHT WHEN I SAW THAT I TOOK OF MY JACKET AND COVER MY NOSE AND MOUTH RIGHT AWAY. WHAT EVER YOU DO, DO NOT BREATHE IN THAT AIR!!! Sang Ho the person that came with us see me covering my nose and mouth with my jacket, all night would ask me if I want a lap dance from one of the stripper. I say "HELL NO" BECAUSE I KNOW STRIPPER WOULD GIVE ME A LAP DANCE AND RUB SOME KIND OF DRUG ON ME. Security see me covering my nose and mouth with my jacket and refusing all the lap dance from the stripper, started surrounding me. Evey five minutes I got to get up and change seats because I did not want security to grab me from behind. I know they can't do anything to me at that strip club because it was MY OWN COUSIN THAT LURE ME THERE! But that how it is in the Vietnamese Community, they go around PRETEND TO BE YOUR FRIEND, PRETEND TO BE YOUR COUSIN BUT THEN LURE YOU AND TRY TO GET YOU ADDICTED ON DRUGS. AND IT NOT JUST THE ASIAN COMMUNITY THAT LURE YOU AND GET YOU ADDICTED ON DRUGS BUT ALL RACE!!
