Homeless mom and her two daughters live in a van near Seattle

I spent the day with a homeless family here in Seattle, yet it felt like spending the day with a normal family. The big difference was at the end of the day Carey and her daughter Maggie drove their van to a park to sleep for the night.
I first met Carey Fuller through I post she wrote on change.org "What It's Like To Be A Homeless Mother" [bit.ly/lloSgo]. She blogged anonymously so I had to beg the editor to connect us. From that point on I have been so very impressed by Carey. I have done everything I can to help her and will continue to do so.
Yesterday, I met Carey and her daughter at a yard sale they were holding. On weekends she tries to make a little money by selling either old stuff she had in storage or new stuff she finds. Carey is very resourceful. When she needed money to repair the van they live in she published a Kindle version of a book she wrote on Amazon.com [Writings From The Driver's Side amzn.to/m4F5Wh].
Carey wants to start chronicling homeless life on video. I was bringing her cameras, but they were stolen at my first stop when the car was broken into. I am all about empowering homeless people so that did not stop me. I just took Carey to Best Buy and let her pick out a camera that would fit her needs.
In the afternoon Maggie, Carey's youngest daughter (oldest daughter was at camp) wanted to go swimming. We drove to a local park and Maggy jumped right in to playing in the sand with other kids. No one would ever notice this family lived in a van, unless we told them.
This is the first time I have spent the day with a homeless family. As a case manager in Los Angeles, I spend lots of hours with families experiencing homelessness, but never like this. I had mixed emotions all day. Part of me was overjoyed seeing Carey and her daughter as a normal family, and part of me was dreading what I know was going to happen next.

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 KZread, 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.

    By who, we the tax payers? No one pays my bills, I put in my big girl panties and pay my bills. I was homeless once, lived in a tent in the woods, with kiddos. Then I figured out it was up to me. Got a job cleaning at hotels, took a second job as a cashier at a gas station. You do what you gotta do.

    Respectfully, I don't believe that but I'd hope that. She has a twitter account and though she's no longer homeless she still struggles greatly to stay in her home and paying her bills with the money she now earns. Also I think she's been laid off or something. You can't necessairily expect huge jumps from someone who's been homeless with her kids for that long. I can imagine her now grown kids are going to need alot of help getting that structure they never had growing up if they want to make it in this life. That homelessness WILL have a negative impact on her kids.

They’re teens now and they hardly ask for anything and usually ask like “do you think maybe I can get _____” and usually I say we can work to it and they say that what they mean. I live my kids and it made us value ourselves, learning and memories more than stuff.

    I think both of her children will be successful. She seems like a great mother.

    She’s a beautiful woman with great common sense. Hope she ends up in her dream home. Daughter is really cute and deserves a great life. Govt she be ashamed of themselves.

    I don't know how I got here, but life in America is a great shock for me. I can't even imagine this kind of a situation in my country, Ukraine. There are always people who help you, friends, relatives.... I hope and believe WE WIll NEVER LIVE LIKE THIS. God bless this lady with her daughters.

    These two are doing just fine. If they had a place and had to pay rent/mortgage, the mother would never be home working all the time and they would become strangers like most these days. The daughter will learn some valuable life lessons this way in survival and will appreciate what she has. Most kids these days are flat out spoiled and spend most of their time staring at their cell phone.
