Homeless Woman Shows How She Lives in a Tent

- UPDATE: Rockey Is No Longer Homeless in Los Angeles • UPDATE: Rockey Is No L...
When I went to visit Rockey at her tent, she started to show me how she made a gate to keep people out. I wasn't yet set up with my camera but I started recording video. Rockey shows me how she ties a rope to the gate and then sleeps with the rope so if anyone tries to get in, she'll feel it and wake up. Homeless people and especially homeless women are constantly of being attacked. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THAT!
Some of you may remember Rockey from our behind the scenes vlog on the virtual reality movie made possible through a partnership with Oculus's VR For Good, film director Rose Troche, and Invisible People. You can watch that video here: • Virtual Reality Film o... Thanks to the help from Eric Montoya and LA Family Housing, Rose was connected to Rockey and the two became friends. The VR film is about Rockey's story and Rockey also plays herself in the VR experience.
Rockey has lived homeless in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles County for over three years. She has lived in this tent for about a year. Rockey says she had to make it as much of a home as possible.
Rockey had a bad turn of events that snowballed until she had no choice but to live in a tent. Rockey doesn't want to draw off the system forever. She wants to work. Rockey wants to be like normal people. Go home at the end of the day. Have a meal and watch television.
Rockey says life can change in an instant. If you don't have money to pay rent, you're going to try to survive. You build a tent. You get a trap. You grab cardboard. You do anything to keep yourself warm at night.

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 CZcams, 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.

Great
So happy to hear that
So where is she at now ?
If Andrew Yang became president, it would offer all adults, including the homeless $1000 PER MONTH! Medicare eligibility for all. Etc... It’s not a gimmick. It would be funded by a toll placed on the largest corporations... too complicated to explain, watch his interview with Joe Rogan
@@gnome3928 Where did you hear this at cause I find it very hard to believe that we all would get a thousand dollars a month check no way this could be true .
When I was younger I was just two steps from being in this woman’s position. I had lost everything due to drugs.. my job in the fashion industry, my apartment, my family cut me off and due to my actions, I burned bridges with my friends that were allowing me to stay with them. I remember being on Bowery St in NYC sitting on my suitcase, crying... i had no idea what I was going to do. I proceeded to ask for money on the street, so many people passed me. Finally a gentleman stopped and asked why I was crying... I was honest with him and he said he would help as long as I went to rehab. He proceed to pay for the Fung Wah bus to get me to Boston and gave me some extra money to get home to NH..when I got there I went to rehab. I’ve now been off drugs for 15 years. I will never forget what that man did for me, he possibly saved my life. All it takes is that one person to listen and lend a helping hand. I love what you are doing with this channel❤️🙏🏻❤️
What a beautiful story! Thank you so much for sharing that I'm so so glad to hear you're doing so much better!
Good for you Morgan! 🙏
Morgan Rose I'm happy for you...sending you positive vibes❤️💕
Such an incredible story!
We're you in front of starbucks by the cube?
This woman is more intelligent and level headed then most people. Life is hard and we shouldn’t judge anyone
She's smart 💖🌹💯
@mrtubevisitor Gabriel you ever consider the elephant man as Nero in the movie satriycon was lucifer? Of course it doesn't matter if you are ugly or handicapped to have a house or be homeless. Try again on a world lesson on life in Los Angeles.
@@chaseriderthetruthchaser5988 if she made 70 an hour no shit. Maybe you should hand out socks and food to homeless. I did.
@Vicente Montano it's fungi killing people. Rewatch the movie ace ventura 2. Bat guano, and bird shit have mutating spores that grow in your lungs.
Jesus or quagmire was homeless once. If you can't get sleep in a tent or can't read call uncle fester.
Says she wants to go to work, come home tired at the end of the day, and just have a meal and relax. Oh how we take life for granted! May God bless this dear lady and give her a beautiful future.
I want to thank ALL The homeless people in this world. I WAS ALMOST RAPED GOING HOME ONE DAY AND A HOMELESS ANGEL SAVED MY LIFE!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sweet sister that was an angel. Bless you darling in Jesus name
@Sky Johnson
Did all the homeless people save you?
@@JC_inc funny man
@@JC_inc yes, he represented all homeless people. So in essence all homeless people did save me. It’s like how we judge by collective. U represent your kind.. so when doing deeds do them consciously.❤️
angels in disguise can be homeless people
And people think homeless people are not smart; gees this woman is incredible.
And homelessness isn't a disease, you can't catch it. People should help instead of judge.
100 % agree
Because I think ppl think uve got yurself there but pet can't choice.
I've never thought they where stupid. There r a lot more entitled kids that r stupid xxx
Common sense. Bad luck. Still alive tho, that's a good thing.
" i wanna come home, tired at the end of the day... eat a meal and watch tv" that got me for some reason.
I just watched that same part as I read your comment lol. I agree with her, that is what I want too.
Yes
It’s something so simple to us that soo many of us take for granted.
MINDYWAAAA probably because so many people take that for granted.....
Things simple things we take for granted were truly blessed.
It just makes you wonder how far it all has to go before we end the foolishness and learn to start taking care of our fellow humans.
Hi Bob Cook. I'm married to a bob cook. I had to check and see if it was him!😂 his little dog is white though.😊
This woman is intelligent... God bless and protect her
One bad event , loose your job , get divorced, have an accident. It can happen to anyone. Esp if you have no family or friend's that can or are willing to help.
evan the terrible JUST STAY SOBER because no substance addict stands a chance in the life of jungle if you don’t even have your mind sober.
evan the terrible definitely 😔🙏
@evan the terrible Exactly. Two years ago I was homeless too. Luckily I found a good job,which helps me to pay my rent and food. But,it is not paid enough so I can save some money and I have no health insurance. I live from month to month and I am thankful and happy. But,if something happens to me, I get ill or disabled, I can't have sick leave and I will lose my job and end up on street again. I pray to God everyday just to stay healthy and able to work. If not I will end up just like this wonderful, brave lady.
@@antonelabakavic4045 I'm just like you & so many other's out there in the same boat. Just one missed paycheck away from the street's. Grateful we both have job's & for today a place to rest our head. So very grateful!!!

It will be OK?l..
I'm amazed at her tent and door. She's very resourceful and you can tell she was a hard worker. I hope she gets that house she wants.
and she said she's making doors for everyone, what a wonderful person
She got her house guys !!!!! It’s fully furnished he did an update on it she had nade so many things in her home from branches . She truly is a hard worker and she got what’s he truly deserved

AJ B young innocent homeless huh? 😏
Cant sum1 help her?
The older I get, the more I worry that something like this is going to happen to me. Despite careful planning and saving, the last decade has really crushed my family, and Covid was the last straw. We had to sell our house earlier this year to pay off medical debt and student loans and it's just been a mess. I have a lot of sympathy for the homeless because this can really happen despite your best efforts.
She admitted to a drug problem... You got a drug problem?! Pretty sure 99% of homeless people use drugs or have abused them enough to cause the psychosis that makes their behavior ok.
99% ??? are you sure about that statement especially in California , true that lots of homeless guys have dugs and alcohol addictions but you do have no drug users that end up homeless too.
In the US it can go pretty fast, 1/ lack of family support , most peole ar on their own, if you get laid off and get sick with no or little health insurance that can turn sour pretty quickly, 2/ how many people in the US ( any occidental country) own their home with no mortage on it ? Rent are expensive, cost of living to the roof, and too many people are chained to the banks with personal loans, credit card debt, car lease, college loans you name it and 3/ most people got meaningless/ redundant jobs in the services / financial /insurance /IT industry, most of these jobs are here for the people to pay the bank , difference between areal profession and a job and it does not matte if you got a master degree or not , 90% of college degree are useless, there was a study that show that tuitions fees for college increase by 300% between 1990 and 2010, we are now in 2023........so you get the picture, my point is , even without drugs and alcohol things can turn south rapidly @@riversidehermit
@@elwoodpalmer7622 sounds like a long way of saying .01% of homeless people don't have substance problems
American household debt hit a record $16.9 trillion at the end of 2022, up $2.75 trillion since 2019, according to the Federal Reserve. It is called modern slavery , it does not matter if you're white, black , heteresexual, gay , christian ,muslim , young ,old , man or woman but the beauty of it , people think they are free , not aware of their own condition............@@riversidehermit
@@riversidehermitHer drug problem was 30 years before this. Try paying attention.
Never judge someone unless you walk a mile in their shoes. Bless her
That way, you get a mile away and you have their shoes, lol.
You're absolutely right never Never judge someone until you This world has become so cold
It broke my heart to see her barely make eye contact. She is fierce, strong and smart. God bless her in her new home.
Wow I'm just like you... I can be homeless next week
You make me feel better in a weird way..
@@susanlong8978 I will be praying for you if that's ok? I pray in Jesus Christ name only.
Praise God!
I thought the same thing. I was like "come on mama, hold your chin high". Bad things happen to good people. Just ask Job.
@@susanlong8978
“God bless her”? HOW... TELL ME HOW GOD HAS BLESSED HER?
Բuck your god.
The people who criticize, won't last a day in their shoes.
She's decided to be a TAKER....A BUM....Period. Let her move in with you !!
People who criticize are one's who actually take responsibility for their lives instead of just being lazy.
@@Steveleanr that's amazing that you know every single homeless person's story and it's so black and white. I've always wanted to have a conversation with GOD.
I couldn't agree more all I made a comment on another video on this channel and someone said basically they wouldn't be helping them out because they are all druggies or drunks and that's just stereotypical b******* in my opinion I've been homeless I've known people that have been homeless and I've had people come stay with me that we're homeless many different factors have to do with people being homeless not just addictions
No doubt there are multiple issues contributing to homelessness. People like Rocky and homeless families receive help because they are high functioning. 75% of homeless are either drug or alcohol addled and those with mental issues. Many do not want to be helped or are so mentally disabled that they make illogical choices. I worked with social service agencies and have seen this.
This Lady is so soft spoken inspite of what she is going through, she really deserves a chance🙏
That door design is honestly really impressive, like I would have never come up with that. I hope she’s doing better, she seems to be well grounded and clever.
Yeah, she’s a smart woman! I love seeing the ingenuity of unhoused people. I also see more clean camps than dirty ones-it’s the city who is dirty.
The alarm branches and rope are pretty clever, hopefully she finds a place
alarm branches 💯🤣 besides that I hope she finds a sweet home also
Lorenz_ very smart, remember the first will be the last, and the last will be the first in God's eyes
It says in the video, that LA housing got her a place.
@Shanna Sweger nothing funny bout that to yo ass in that position
She got a place
This woman is an engineer my goodness she’s amazing
If she is your roll model, I wish you luck!
Rebecca boudreau lmao!! Sure she is
@Janet Salcido they are known to be very proud of themselves so they put there hand to stuff but that stuff isn't good for anything apart from not sleeping and jaw clenching not to mention it makes you look sickly
@Janet Salcido As someone who works with drug addicts on a daily basis, she does not seem like an addict. Just look at how white and intact her teeth are.
“Engineer”
I'm a grown man and this makes me so sad that it makes me cry. I'm poor but still give what I can.I found that no one else cares for you even family members, everyone is out for themselves. We are all Gods children please help just little makes a big difference .To all the homeless God loves you when no one else does.
It's sad that we have so many empty houses and people have to be homeless. Breaks my heart.
Its called landlords and property owners making money off of people.
I wish was this easy, But the homeless usually have a mental health problem and or drugs. Without help they would destroy the house, back to drugs
Dear God please bless her with a safe home in Jesus name.
Mia Miller hh
Yeeeeesss🙏👏💯💪🤗
Yes Lord plz help her and keep her safe
Yes. In the Name of Jesus! 🙏
Amen
I am this Woman. I would be homeless too if it weren’t for my parents and I am 53 years old. One bad year of uncontrollable events took my bottom out. I had to leave my well paying job due to disability, I was living off of a small settlement from the accident. My husband had lost his job and really wasn’t interested in finding work again. The month my money ran out I found out he had found another woman. So he moved in with her and left me the responsibility of our high rent apt in Seattle. So my parents asked me to come live with them. 3 years later I am still waiting on Disability I paid into and have no income. Even with all the struggles I am so fortunate because I have family and not on the streets. My heart goes out to this woman.
johnny cat get a lawyer ASAP. I was living in the hospital for over a year and was denied twice while near death. Just let a lawyer sort it out as if there’s a legit claim a lawyer will take it at no cost
I have an attorney. I’m on my 3rd appeal now. The judge on the second one is nationally known for low approvals. Just a bit more bad luck in my life.
Im on disability and left my husband ( who moved in another woman) at 54. My parents are my strength. I am blessed to have an apartment and can work a part-time job.
rgtrooper13 I am adopted.

I just learn this guy last week. YangGang2020
"a wishbone, a backbone, and a funny bone."
She's an amazing person.
What a nice lady, pray her life here on in is blessed.
As depressive as this appears, this remarkable Lady has managed to make the best of a deplorable situation❕ How she has managed to survive on the streets is beyond me. God keep her safe.....
She doesn't have a choice. When you're in a situation like this it's in a human's instinct to survive. When I went to jail in 2005 I was so used to having all of life's little amenities play a nice mattress hot water TV able to eat whenever I wanted but in jail you don't get shampoo brushes simple things unless you have money and the only way to have money is if someone sends it to you. Sometimes you can get socks or a t-shirt from the counselor or case manager actually mad. I was there for a month before my family would send me any money and I was given a small bar of soap a very tiny toothbrush and some toothpaste and some of that cheap roll-on deodorant. So I had to use the bar soap on my hair and my body. Monday morning the soap was so horrible that I became allergic to it and there was nothing I could do because otherwise I wouldn't be able to wash my body and so you figure out ways to survive.
Allways someone else's fault..unless you are mentally I'll no excuse to live like this..
@@casper24ism wow. Your world sounds wonderful.
@@kenyettaready it's called self respect ,something the libtards dont teach their kids..
@A Dominguez I agree this problem is a direct result of Democrat Party and Congress
Hearing this lady's story has been humbling... she is tired but she is a fighter 🙏
SG Reid I just made a song called Diary of a sad homeless man. It means alot to me and I was wondering if yall would go to my channel and give it a listen
Check out awake afflicted Jerusalem on Twitter for an encouraging word of god for the afflicted and homeless.
'survival instinct' tends to do that..
Yes she is indeed a fighter all right no matter what life has thrown at her.
It was an honor to virtually meet you dear lady. I hope things turn out well. My heart goes out to you. In my community ,if a woman with children and without much money,becomes a widow ,she is given a three room decent apartment . Free education for her kids. All their medical needs are met . The whole family gets a monthly allownce. All this money comes from people voluntarily and spent carefully to help the needy. I am so glad that it is doable .Society should be able to take care of people down on their luck. It's happening in my small town called Chenab nagar in Pakistan.
It makes me so sick how people can say homelessness is entirely the persons fault . This is clearly a person of intelligence and resourcefulness. I’m glad she’s no longer homeless
My sister once said people are homeless for a reason, like it's their fault, I disagree I believe there are many reasons people are homeless, but it is not their fault, I think a lot of people have relatives like mine that only care about money, that is one of the reasons people are homeless, I walked for a year & told my sister & her husband I needed a car even if it was a five hundred dollar junker to get me & my wife from A to B, they said nothing then she bragged how she brings in four hundred thousand dollars a night through her business, it made me feel so small & uncared for, it is people who think they are great, but in reality are self-righteous & heartless that should live like the poor, maybe then they would gain enough wisdom to know how to treat others.
The mercy people show is the same they will get in return.
So many things can affect people- health problems, job loss, a divorce, etc
i have been almost in that position - thank gawd i had a ford ranger with a leaking uninsulated cap to sleep in. a storage locker. a camp stove and two candle lanterns. wool blankets. And i was FULLY EMPLOYED... 😶
I do NOT look at homeless people like they're trash. Pretty much been there.
She's intelligent, decent, got buggered over by lousy people. I'm grateful she's not homeless anymore, too.
Capitalism at its finest
That’s good she survived and is no longer homeless.
This lady has a mind of an engineer
Absolutely she's very smart! Intuitive thinking, she came across some rough times. I pray she's indoors now.
Yea but some how see can't engineer her way to a JOB!
Heartbreaking! One bad injury, and I could be in her shoes. Thank God for my health!
BLESS YOU LADY AND BLESS EVERYONE JUST LIKE YOU! AMEN
Same here!
It doesn't look like she unhealthy or injured..health doesn't have a thing to do with it.
Von Musklaus great send it over i dont mind helping you out...lmao hahaha
@Gary Nelson honestly, I used to feel the same way as you do about addiction but after years of reading and watching documentaries about it I've somewhat changed my stance. I'll admit I still have moments where I slip into my old way of thinking so I can see where you're coming from. I also REALLY REALLY did not like her complaining about people helping an injured stray dogs/animals before helping people . The injured stray DID NOT to do anything that caused his situation.
I just have to say, for a lady who is homeless, we can learn a lot from her. She smiles and has a pleasant voice, even through her hours of pain. I'm happy for you, that you found a home. I hope you have many years of happiness wherever you may be!
She made me cry. It was an honour to watch her discuss her life 💗
I'm so glad to hear she is no longer homeless in LA, this women has a strong will to survive, so she does. Not everybody can live homeless. Bless her.
I lived in LA years ago--- wish I had known you. You're a great lady. God BLESS !!!
I like her. She’s smart, self aware, and relatable.
Were all humans, we need to realize the connection whether another can communicate they're relatable or not
Take her in as a Roommate. ..

@@JC_inc why not say a simple prayer and find out for yourself? Watch your life change before your eyes. I’ve never believed in God, I was an atheist. Now I love the Lord with all of my heart. Try it just as you would with anything else.

Im glad I saw your comment! Its our free will that messes us up. The Lord God loves us so!
@@JC_inc Because believing in God and His promises is based on free will. You get to choose to believe or not believe. How can you ask where He is when you are a faithless non believer?
I am homeless, so grateful to two different families that have taken me into their homes when my remaining family wouldn't answer the phone after my childhood friend and fiance died unexpectedly after a brief illness. I've lost everything and done my grieving around people that I hadn't known before Ted's death. People that don't have a lot themselves but I have eaten everyday, even had cigarettes, been allowed to claim a puppy that I still have for more than a year. I cried so hard when after having Christmas dinner with the first of these two families, I was handed two gifts wrapped like the rest of the family. It was a beautiful Christmas and maybe the most meaningful presents I ever received. So, blessedly, I haven't had to sleep in a tent or been on the streets yet but I'm so aware how close I am to that. I truly think that people that have less, give so much more. They know how it feels to be poor or do without where people in their lovely homes, look at poor and homeless people like we are lesser. So happy this beautiful, well spoken lady has a home. I hope she gets to watch T.V. and be tired at the end if her day, just as she spoke of. I lived in a very nice home, had pretty much anything my heart desired and all that was gone overnight. Praying to have another place if my own again, I'll never take a simple thing like a bed for granted again. The kindness of strangers, now family, saves me from who knows what. Terrifies me to think on what I may yet have to suffer. Bless us all, all the homeless, so many of us. Bless the people that care about us.

@@ellanina801 yup and just ridiculous considering tap water is free. I would boycott that business
@@JenessaAndKingston I agree. Funny thing is that they treat the unhoused poorly, then expect them to bow at their feet. It’s seriously NBD to give someone a drink of water. Those tiny acts can make such a big difference, and it’s certainly not one-sided.

They are Human "just a pay check away" we should care more n HELP THEM.,
Amen
What have you come up with these last two months to actually help them? Inspire us.
"helen essien" : take her to your house...in fact as many as possible!! many of them they burnt their bridges with their family or friends because of their addictions...so...take them to your house if you feel so bad!
Homeless myself at the moment . I fly a sign alone I don’t make anything . I bring my cute old yellow lab along and people help me out a lot then .
Stay dogs or cats don't know how to set volume without humans they don't know how to look both ways before crossing a street I don't know how to make the temperature

Such wise words. No human is better than anyone else.
Worldly possessions mean nothing - love, kindness and compassion means EVERYTHING.
I was homeless twice in my life. And after living in apartments for over 30 years, I bought a mobile home. Working toward debt free in 10 years. Creating a legacy with my kids of taking care of themselves and one another.
God bless you Kim
Been close to homeless when I was raising kids and moved out of city to country. Rent was a fraction and it was safer for my kids. Then bought an old run down house fixed it up. Owe 0. Keep going Kim your on the right track.
You see, that is what is a mystery to me...Why not buying a property, long time ago?...why paid rent for more than 30 years?...the prices were very low 30 years ago.
What an amazing human being. You have educated me and made
me realize how fortunate I am. Bless you and thank you.
Bless you sweet heart i want to take you today andput you in a apartment. And give you everything you need 💙

"fixed the broken horses"... I knew I immediately liked her for a reason.
Just to think. Ppl in her city have millions to blow. But they choose to buy. 10k purses. 100k watches and 5k jeans. Instead of helping there fellow man. Sad world we live in.

If Andrew Yang became president, it would offer all adults, including the homeless $1000 PER MONTH! Medicare eligibility for all. Etc... It’s not a gimmick. It would be funded by a toll placed on the largest corporations... too complicated to explain, watch his interview with Joe Rogan
Minto Gean you can vote socialism but you have to shoot your way out of it. Goverment is not god. If it is. Then you are doomed.
L Yang is far from a socialist. UBI is a long time capitalist idea. Socialism is when the government takes over means of production. UBI by re-allocation is capitalism that doesn’t start at zero because it allows the people to control to flow of the market. That’s why thousands of economists endorse Andrew’s plan. While other candidates want to create more programs, Andrew wants to give that money directly to the people to solve their own problems. Automation is changing the rules of capitalism. Replacing 40% of jobs with technology. That can be a great thing for society but a UBI will need to be implemented to allow capitalism to continue to thrive and benefit society. It’s a lot more complex than what you are currently assuming. Also it’s not just “free” money. Right now all the biggest tech companies are making insane amounts of money from mining our personal data. Yang would require them to pay us a small portion for us and allow us to turn off their ability to sell our data if we choose to opt out. Data right now is worth more than oil and technology is the oil of the 21st century.
It’s all fault of democrats
Minto Gean I hope Bernie looks at this idea, you’re right, it would help so many people get back on their feet. God bless Yang and you❤️
Oh God I am SO SORRY for this woman and I pray that by the time I watch her story she has found a comfortable home and life, we ALL DESERVE that, no-one more and no-one less. This lady has a LOT of Self Respect
This has me balling! I lived in a tent for 3 years in Venice beach not too long ago! I’m so glad she housed up now!

Basically people watch movies and sometimes, your life is one of them where you are the victim of horrible family rejection, mental abuse and neglet. So, in my situation I had to go to get food we're addicts, sex offenders, thief's, killers basically anyone in the street hungry looking for help. It was horrible, and it took them 2 years to honor me an apt. I had people outside of my family help me. People judge without knowing.
Yes I've been in that same situation that's why I always help people whenever I can
Laira Calderon the great land of the free and home of the brave should look at Australia and how she doesn’t have these issues and she is the same age as the USA...I wonder if all the homeless were gay or transgender, would they get more help from the lgbtqrxyz crowd?
@@ylnodnaenoeht Yes, my own siblings and a house fire caused my homelessness for several months. But God!
I've been homeless since October of 2019....I finally start a new job on the 3rd of February and am determined to work as hard as I can to get out of this situation. Being a homeless woman really does strike a blow to your dignity and self-esteem..... no one deserves to live like that, not men, not women, not children, nobody.....
God bless you
💜 GOD BLESS YOU & I WISH YOU WELL 🙏 STAY BLESSED
🤗😇🙏🙏💜💜💜
Very nice
How are things going? How’s your job?? 😊
Blessings to you
I admire your creativity. Stay strong and positive. Peace
What an intelligent and articulate lady. I hope she’s doing well now.
It was an honor to meet her and I’m grateful you shared this amazing journey with me. Life is about humanity and dignity which we all are entitled to on this planet. To be 60 years old and spend your days in a continuous cycle of survival mode is a testament to her humble and sage existence. She has soulful and empathic eyes. She shouldn’t feel shamed for her situation. She took lemons and made lemonade and I’m proud she’s had the strength to endure so much! May she soon know the blessings she is being prepared for! I hope she gets a safe comfortable home to rest every night! Blessings!!!!
THE SADDEST THING IS RIGHT UNDER EVERYONE'S NOSE,WHEN IT'S SOMEONE ELSE AND NOT YOU OR YOUR LOVED ONES AND PEOPLE GIVE WATER TO A DOG ON THE STREETS AND NOT A HUMAN BEING IT'S JUST LIKE WE HAVE BECOME SO UNGRATEFUL AND SELFISH AS HUMAN'S WHY NOT JUST RIP THE FLESH RIGHT OFF OUR ON BODY'S TO AND PROVE THAT WE ALL HATE OUR OWN SELF AS HUMAN'S.
Some homeless people are the most resourceful people on Earth.
it's incredible the ingenuity that poverty inspires

@My Life Now I get it. I hope you are doing well.

What a creative intelligent woman!
Thank God she’s not homeless anymore. She seems like a great person. I hope somebody hired her because she would do a great job.
Carlsen life after 60 Carlsen,Your lovely smile 😊 can make the news
So glad she is getting off the street and getting a place to live. I pray so many others do as well. This lady had such a sweet soul and a beautiful smile.
really? id love to hear an update on her
Kasual Beauty it’s in the description box with a go fund me link
I wish they would have a phone,a home , they have money and clothes 😣😣
@@kasualbeauty309 she is on youtube
Homelessness can happen to any of us ...i pray for the homeless every night
I've concluded - 'we're all a few paychecks, from being homeless' !
I am so happy to hear that you are no longer homeless! We all have a lot to be thankful for!
I cannot make eye contact either. I was homeless when I left my abusive ex-husband. I slept in my car, and that was scary sometimes. I can't imagine not having those locked car doors or the ability to drive off when my presence wasn't wanted. It must be miserable in the cold winter and hot summer. I hope someone sees this and helps her. She's too old to live like a dog. No one should live like this
God bless this amazing woman and her courage and strength! ☺
I would give anything to give her a home. Breaks my heart.
I know. I've been told I'm naive, but she would be a welcome friend. I would do anything I could to help her. When one of my daughters was about 9, I (as a single mother of 3) gave a homeless man, who said he was hungry, $5. My daughter (already cynical, unfortunately), said "mama, you know he's gonna buy drugs or alcohol." I said "Well, he might. But he has the option to eat." I taught her something that day and she remembers it this 30 years later. "So many humans, so little humanity." Alan Watts.
@@purpleflametarot39 your daughter was 9 when she said that? Dang my son didnt speak like that at 9 and still doesnt. My question is why does a 9 year old speak like that?
@@purpleflametarot39 You're amazing! ♥
Same... wished I could fix all the bad things.. in the world.
@@stacymedina9374 I was wondering the samething.... who taught this 9 year old that
It seriously was a honor to meet her .I just wanna hugg this lady . This is so not okay . #endhomelessness
This is excellent. Thankyou for covering this story of this lovely lady and bringing insight of the homeless lives.
Humble yourself or life will humble you and never say never!
jessica kelley very true..u never know what’s waiting for you around the corner 😢
So so true.
Jessica Kelley are u on here often
jessica kelley needed this !!💕
jessica kelley preach sis
Bless that family who helped her out of a very sad and potentially dangerous situation.
Did someone take her off the streets??
Hey where's the rest of that story?
@@vlucidity yes, her brother but she left ......
Oh my lord please look upon this lady and bless her and keep her safe. Breaks my heart to see this, may the Angels watch over you❤️xx
This story broke my heart! I saw the msg update that said she’s no longer homeless. Praise the Lord! She seems like a kind, sweet, intelligent, strong woman. I’ve been in some tough spots financially and without my family to help, I could’ve been in that same situation. We all need to remember that every human being has feelings and needs and hopes. Once they’re in that position, it’s almost impossible to get out unless someone has compassion and intervenes. Not saying some homeless people aren’t choosing to live on the streets without any responsibilities except to get loaded. Some just caught a bad break and need a hand to get back on their feet. Thanks for making and sharing this video. I hope it encourages people to step up and show the love of Christ to others.
My heart goes out to her n so many! I was homeless and slept in my car with my 5 year old and hubby. I took care of both of them. Husband is blind and fighting cancer and our lil boy. God blessed us and God bless this woman.
Never look down on anyone Unless ur helping them up !..
CHURCH
Even then, you shouldn't look down on anybody, or it's just superficial pretense and ego.
This type of living was the norm in pioneer days. Sleep in tents ,cook over an open fire,live off the land, and no money required, they had trading posts.
Well said..!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Well said *Canada*
The strength the homeless have is immeasurable!
This woman is ingenious. Even in her situation, she is aspiring to make the most out of what she has which is remarkable. She makes the 'haves' compared to the 'have nots' seem so indulgent.
May God Almighty bless you with a new home & job. 💝🙏
Amen!🙏🙏💞
Amen, I come in agreement in Jesus Name Amen!
purespirit9 Amen

She looks good for 60 , what a beautiful soul. God have mercy on the invisible . .
I agree. I thought she was younger than 60.
Are you kidding me?! She looks like she's 70!
And I would like to say, California SUCKS....
@H8 Red Cindy bell dnt be rude looks can be deceiving
I know you mean it as a compliment to say "she looks good for her age" but take it from a 67 year old we really cringe when someone says that. Please see just say "she looks nice, or pretty, or attractive", just like you'd say about younger woman. We already feel invisible .
This beautiful lady is so content with her life. Whether she is homeless or not, she seems well with everything going on with her. Some people with even a million dollars aren't this content. The world will never be enough for a lot of these people. If you are unhappy, it wouldn't matter what situation you are in, rich or homeless. Might be worried about your homeless situation but, still happy with whatever they are dealt.
Thank you. These stories really keep me grounded. My concerns/worries are minimal compared to what these people go through on a daily basis. I am so fortunate. I have a family, job, roof over my head. They are just trying to get through the day with no guarantees of food, shelter or safety.
We are all just a paycheck away from this kind of disaster. Everyone goes through hard times at some point.
We are all tail,their are a lot of people that are doing well.
No I am not.
No. Not everyone is a paycheck away..try saving ur money n quit spending it on crap
@@azazelRising72 Same here--We also planned for what can go wrong. Never spent on extras. Dinner out was a once year on our anniversary. Do not take vacations. Our HOME is what is important.and the ability to keep it. We can pay it off if we choose. Not a good use of the $$$
@Holy Acid for libtards, sjw, lgbtq, dems, & antifa So damn true. Socialism is creating urban Argentinas. It destroys everything it touches.
I was homeless back in 2016 due to heroin addiction [in recovery now] and it's so lonely. What little you do have, other homeless people steal from you, people judge you, you have to keep moving around because you get ran out of places, it's dangerous and it's just not a good place to be. Once you lose everything it's SO hard to get back on your feet. I wish there were more resources to help people and that people wouldn't look down on the homeless the way they do. This can happen to anyone, addicts or not. Bless this woman♡ She is very creative with the door making...wish I knew how to do that! I wish her a continued recovery and I hope things get better for her. When she said she was blown away because you said it was an honor to meet her....made me cry!
Bless you from one recovering addict to another
@@stackbundles7058 💕 THANK YOU!! Likewise ♡♡♡
I need to get on my knees. and pray when seeing this. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL.
Glad to see her get a place ...she is a human being and has had enough struggle
Please do an update on Rockey when you can!
What I most liked about this woman, is that she doesn't victimised herself.
Hope she's going well.
Do you think you're entitled to an opinion on how another person presents themselves? Especially one at such a low point in their life. It's pretty fucked up that so many people in these comments seem to think this human being exists for their own moral example.
She explained how animals are treated better than homeless people. Humanity needs to be more empathetic.
@@jacobohnstad4432 thank you for saying this
She lives in a tent. She hasn’t had a home in three years. She isn’t doing well.
Is she going well???
Oh yeah 😁
See this :

Wow this woman is Amazing 👏 god bless her 🙏❤
I hope this woman is thriving. What a down-to-earth, wise, free soul. She is the essence of humanity. I’m inspired.
Just heartbreaking, and she’s right, many of us are just a paycheck away from being homeless ourselves. What a mad, sad, unfair, enraging world!
That´s the American world for you. Rotten to the core!
From coast to coast we need to make tiny home for the good folks that are elderly and sober.
Tiny homes in safe, clean, water/utilities furnished settlements would sure help a lot of people. They could be cooperatively managed be the residents and a Board of Advisers to deal with issues which always come forth. It is a wonderful, wonderful concept. I believe these being built could become reality. *Canada*
we need to create jobs for them
@@maybebaby1112 he said elderly. Lots of old people can’t work due to illness and arthritis.
@@maybebaby1112 Jobs are for illegals. Ask Biden.
California is greedy and won’t help their people
This beautiful woman is so amazing so creative so strong and soooo real. I love you you are inspiration to me to never give up
This woman has a great personality, very funny, humorous. I pray things get better for her.
For those of us with no families (or families that care) it's way too easy to slip through the cracks...it's scary.
K. Popper, Amen.
True, God bless you.💗
Thank you that's exactly where I was it hurts even more when family says they don't care & show it
This why family is impotant
@@cliffa2901 it's very difficult to trust or call on them ever again because in that description they told me we didn't care
I never considered myself wealthy... until this moment.
Not wealthy but damn if we are not fortunate right
I consider myself Blessed 🙏❣️😇
Wow, definitely wakes me up. I am rich compared to her at this time. God Bless her!
I never considered myself poor until this moment. Because that woman’s light is shining in the darkness. May God bless her and KNOW she has her three bones through Jesus Christ our God. The father the son and the Holy Spirit. 3 Bones
I have everything conpare to this
I like her she’s strong and honest and doing her best.
She seems like a very nice person, she talks better than most people i work with
Everyone Pray for all the Homeless People.
Prayer doesn’t do anything.
I just pray that they would all get jobs and stop burdening the entire society with their drug addictions
@@AntonArmsberg 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
🙏🙏🙏
Or help them. Might be a little more effective 🙄😒
I’m crying can’t believe she’s dealing with all this all alone by her self .... this world sucks !
Cinnamon 619 poor her if only I had the power of money I work give her a nice job and normal home to rest in piece ❤️
A strong woman. making the best out of the cards she has been dealt. Such a great story. So glad she is getting into a place with a roof over her head. Please send updates.
