Seems if this lockdown continues a lot of ppl will find out what it's like. It's not something I would wish on anyone. Perhaps a vision I have had of communities forming where tent cities and rv/cars are formed where if you're homeless you can come and start a life again. Before I became homeless I knew it was coming and started trying to help. I got ripped off repeatedly. I pray about it every day and have vision of parcels of land where the disadvantaged will find safe haven. No one will make them move if they nap in their bag or on a blanket. All will contribute to the community to have pleasant grounds and to expand as the need arises. Anyone with me on this? I'm ready. Let's get this started before the numbers skyrocket. It's going to happen pretty soon I reckon. A 5 acre piece of land is a good start. Get a business plan/license and start taking donations!!! Who's with me?

I was there in 83, got out and never looked back til today. Venice is still going, eating people alive. I built a career, moved to Oregon, own my home, have a good reputation for repairing vehicles. Folks have potential, they just need a chance.

I'm so grateful I've never been homeless, and prayers to all the people who are, may they find their way.

That would be a good start, but often there are more complicated reasons that people are homeless. There are social service systems in place, but sometimes people can't follow the steps needed on the path to getting off the street.

I was living out of my van in the Venice area. It can be sketchy and I am a guy. I was so lucky to have a van where I could lock up my stuff and sleep in peace, with my piece under my pillow. I got into CSUDH and did the homeless thing in front of that university while I finished up my degree. Got myself off the street but it was a mix of luck and hard work, mostly luck. Lucky to be a guy, lucky to have a van, lucky to get into school and lucky be able to pull financial aid and student loans. Now I am in debt and working. Modern serf, indentured to the system. Just a few paychecks away from being back on the street. It is a thin veneer that separates many of us working stiffs from the homeless.

Luckily, they both came to my assistance. But with that all said, I never once think that I am secure. Not even the fact that I own 3 homes. Not fancy homes at all. Kind of run down actually. I don't rent anything because I don't want the headaches. I bought a small camper 2 years ago in the event the shit hits the fan. I think it's going to. I keep my tow vehicle filled with fuel. I have 10 extra gallons in my garage. That's enough fuel to get me into Canada. I would load up my cats, grab all the canned goods I have on hand, my generator, long guns, space heater(s), books and be on my merry way. I would survive without being a panhandler. I know I would.

It's so heartbreaking that just one mistake can lead to a lifetime of consequences. When your heart is broken it's so hard to find self worth and the energy to try from scratch. I've noticed many homeless have a problem staying in victim status. The key is to forgive yourself, forgive others and ask God everyday for the strength to move forward in the right direction. If you have addiction issues start with rehab to get off the street. Go from there. No man is going to save you. You have to save yourself. God bless you sweetheart. ❤️

i hope she gets what she needs, bless her and everyone struggling...

"Go to work, pay your bills, soccermom etc. This doesn't mean there not proper humans.

The lady in the video seems nice and I hope she gets out the homeless situation.

Life is hard. I feel exhausted most of the time. I work hard, go to work everyday even when I’ve gotten three hours of sleep. It’s not easy, but it’s something I have to do to be able to have food to eat, a roof over my head and a bed at night. I never wished for it, I just did it. I didn’t have a job for four months once and put in over 500 applications and went to 25 interviews before I was finally hired. During that time I was in bad place mentally I thought there was no hope for me and although not similar to being homeless in anyway, the feeling of hopelessness is what these people feel. But as long as you’re trying then know that there is hope.

83 for me, lived on the roof of the methedrine manor, Brooks ave if I remember right. Living on rooftops kept me alive, living on the ground was deadly. I got a van, parked three blocks from the beach, made a career, retired to Oregon. Venice didn't kill me, nothing will.

Lol I live on Brooks! Venice born and raised since 1979. The doors used to practice on the roof of my childhood home. Venice is not even close to what it used to be.

I am going through something similar....May the Lord bless you!!

I was homeless for a month. I slept in friends cars. I would brush my teeth and shave from bottled water. Having to need go to the bathroom was challenging. Watching a day slowly tick away to finally go to sleep in a tiny back seat. Before that I slept in the park I use to fish at when I was a boy. That was scary. There are a Lot of people wandering around at night in the riverbed. Under the bridges. I am fine now with alot of hard work. Every story is different. Drugs was not a play in my situation. My business went under and I lost everything. When you have nothing it is amazing how those good friends turn their backs on you. Be kind to each other. Count our blessings as small as they may be.

Bless her that must be hard not seeing your kids. People judge the homeless so badly, but I always see broken humans that need love and support and just do not have it. With the wealth in this country there should be no homeless yet its astounding how many there actually are. There has to be a bridge to go from the people that want to help, directly to the homeless. There are alot of people that can and want to help. We need to make this happen somehow. Im working on ideas, because I literally lose sleep over homeless people, it makes me so sad for them. We are all children of God, no one is better than the other, the homeless, broken people mean just as much to God as the celebrities living in their mansions. No one life is worth more than another. All these homeless people are someone's child. And we are all children of God.

Most of the Homeless were betrayed by someone they should have been able to trust right before they became homeless. That's why they don't have $$ & the means to support. Dakota needs to go to a Law firm that helps people like her so she can get her birth certificate

Some people comment about how the girls that do not look homeless people should not get help . But alot of women and men clean up and wear decent clothes because it makes them feel better about not having a place to live. Some jerks think that just because a lady puts on makeup and wash thier hair that there is an alternative motive. Such jerks. I give them alot of credit for taking care of theirselves.

She was so nice and her story broke my heart. I can't imagine having to escape from an abuser and he ADOPT my kids out. I do hope her life improves drastically soon. She could opt to opt out/do drugs to try to "forget" the loss of her children. I pray not. I pray she is given hope and SOLUTIONS to get her life turned around. What an excellent dialogue you two had. Great interview as always, Mark!

Not sure why you would leave your children with an abusive partner, who is physically and mentally abusive. I got my child and disappeared forever..no matter what, I’d never leave my child with a abuser...sorry, but that’s how I feel. I had a very violent and abusive partner. one day I took my kid and left the family home, left all my friends, left everything behind. I built a new life for me & my child. I had no money, nothing...

Miss Demeanour Don’t be so quick to judge , we don’t know the whole story also i have four kids , I’ve been in situations where I’ve locked myself in my kids room to hide from their dad trying to abuse me , yet he wouldn’t ever dare harm my kids except through mental abuse of telling them mommy doesn’t love them . People are sick and twisted . You never know the real situation but it could’ve been a situation where she had to leave to save her own life and wanted to come back for the kids . I personally couldn’t leave my kids but I’ve been in situations where there’s no way I could get four kids safely and myself out the house . Especially when he’s came in drunk in the middle of the night . Kids in different rooms - never know what people are going through . Just saying .

Sounds like they were brothers! I’m sorry this happened to you too❤️ My ex partner was an evil man. He did unspeakable things to me, I was battered and abused and terrified... long story short, I got my child and got the hell out of there and never looked back. I had no money, nothing, just the clothes on my back. I would not and could not leave my child with such an abusive man. She could have called the cops, after she got out and got the kids then, the kids would have told the cops what he was like.. There’s is definitely more to this story. But she is now homeless and I do feel compassion for her❤️ nobody is perfect!💯

Yes, but she wants them to be there, with her, living rough? I can't get past that. She wants to "go out every night"? And occasionally tell them that she loves them? That's no way to raise children with love.

She’s too smart and beautiful to not be ok by now, I pray. I just spent past 18 months homeless. Got out

Just talking and asking the homeless questions is therapeutic for them in a way.

I was homeless for a year. In NY when it was cold as well. That was now 10 years ago. I now own a home. Have a son. I work in the mortgage industry as well! Hard work and goals and of course some luck. It can be done!

All my prayers to these people

She seems like a nice person. I hope she gets the help she needs.And her id.Hopefully some one will give her a place to stay.lots of 🙏.

Nobody is to blame personally for being homeless, drugs and alcohol have a greater power and control than you will ever imagine.
