Brenda Update: No Longer Homeless in New York City

  • The number one request you all ask for is updates on the homeless people we interview. Because our travel is mostly dependent on 3rd parties it's challenging to get updates but whenever possible we try to make them happen. As we grow, we do hope to be able to provide more updates whenever possible.
    I first met Brenda when she was sleeping on cardboard homeless on the streets of New York City. You can watch that video here: • Disabled Homeless Woma...
    What's interesting is in her original video, I didn't understand everything Brenda was saying but now it all makes perfect sense.
    Many years ago, Brenda used to work at the Hershey chocolate factory in Pennsylvania. She knows of the area including an independent living facility for seniors.
    Brenda was homeless in San Diego. Brenda should have been receiving disability from Social Security but as she got older and closer to Social Security age, she traveled to Pennsylvania to apply for an independent living apartment. While waiting, Brenda decided to live on the streets of Manhattan. The moment she got Social Security income she housed herself. Truly remarkable.
    Also remarkable, a mother sent me an email about visiting NYC with her daughter when her daughter recognized Brenda from watching Invisible People. The family befriended Brenda including buying a bed for Brenda's new apartment. You can read that email here: / powerful-email-i-21576713
    Brenda is one of a few homeless people who engaged with people in the comments of her Invisible People video. Over the course of a year, Brenda would leave updates about her situation and how she was going. I noticed some butterflies on the wall and Brenda informed me that someone from this CZcams channel sent her some stuff.
    You can tell by the sound of the room, Brenda does not have much. She has a bed, a few chairs, a small table, and a plant. Social Security does not provide much after rent is paid. Invisible People will be donating to Brenda a special gift to help her with her book but she needs things for her apartment too. If you're like to help, here is a link to her GoFundMe www.gofundme.com/f/8-years-ho...

    About Invisible People
    There is a direct correlation between what the general public perceives about homelessness and how it affects policy change. Most people blame homelessness on the person experiencing it instead of the increasing shortage of affordable housing, lack of employment, a living wage or the countless reasons that put a person at risk. This lack of understanding creates a dangerous cycle of misperception that leads to the inability to effectively address the root causes of homelessness.
    We imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home. Each day, we work to fight homelessness by giving it a face while educating individuals about the systemic issues that contribute to its existence. Through storytelling, education, news, and activism, we are changing the narrative on homelessness.
    This isn't just talk. Each year, our groundbreaking educational content reaches more than a billion people across the globe. Our real and unfiltered stories of homelessness shatter stereotypes, demand attention and deliver a call-to-action that is being answered by governments, major brands, nonprofit organizations, and everyday citizens just like you.
    However, there is more work to be done on the road ahead. Homelessness is undoubtedly one of our biggest societal issues today and will only continue to grow if we don't take action now.
    Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to educating the public about homelessness through innovative storytelling, news, and advocacy. Since our launch in 2008, Invisible People has become a pioneer and trusted resource for inspiring action and raising awareness in support of advocacy, policy change and thoughtful dialogue around poverty in North America and the United Kingdom.

We’ve been homeless over a year now but through prayers, have not slept on the streets yet (friends and strangers have provided us hotel rooms before our car where we slept in got repossessed) nor missed a meal. When we did have our car, we worked UberEats and helped some fellow homeless people with the money that we earned and gave them food from canceled orders. That is the only reason we miss our car.
      We just have to trust in God more than ever. We love you and God bless!!

    Story: My friend Ray was homeless once so he told me "if I'm going go down hit bottom then it's going to be in style and I'm going be best I can." So he kept very clean, had his docker pants all press down no wrinkles, had all his face products in his bag, kept shaven and clean cut looking. You coukdnt tell he was homeless like that. Kept his body fit at the gym. He went to AA meetings every night and talked recovery. At night he slept courageously In some bushes cause he couldn't get In the crowded shelter. In couple weeks all kinds of people were practically begging him to stay on thier couch, he was so inspirational at his best at his worse. Rip ray correll. (He loved to know I told that story)

      Ray died 7 years later. At 57. He was not homeless anymore. He called me hours before he was found dead mysteriously by his roommate. He was complaining about his heart that month. He was still doing his AA recovery meetings and stated he wish God take him home, he was tired. I was asked to speak at his funeral. I said " I don't know how ray died but I know how he lived. A man of God, a man of grace."

    I knew it from her video when she was homeless that she would get out of it quicker than anyone. The reason why was her persistence and her street smarts. Every day she would go to the government offices and ask for help. She also picked the safest spots to sleep and she washed every day so she did not look homeless. She also had no addiction other than an addiction to persistence in getting off the streets.

      It really helps when you're not an addict. I was homeless and people tend to assume that you're a junkie or a drunk or a prostitute. (SO many people, including some homeless MEN, presume a homeless woman is a readily available prostitute!) I just had to train myself to very early on, when I felt that vibe/ convo coming from them, to look them in the EYE and cut them off with "I'm NOT a PROSTITUTE....."
      They'd fall back and often apologize. They would leave me alone, in peace.

This woman has a beautiful soul she’s in a struggle and yet she’s still shining a beautiful life and a beautiful light and whoever that moron is is just a bitter, hateful, horrible person who can’t conceive that one can be struggling for their life and literally still have a positive attitude, hopes and dreams and believe in a higher power.

    I am so eager to read this book, my boyfriend was homeless for a year or two and although he had a lot of friends to sleep with sometimes, it was extremely challenging and depressing. Everyone please stay aware and help whenever you can, don’t break your pockets if you are in that situation, but if you can help please do. Not everyone is scary, not everyone is addicted to drugs, and even if they are, they are still good people inside and out. Stay aware! ❤️

    I feel so deeply for the shame and confusion that being that impoverished brings. It's so tough mentally and emotionally..the shame is 50% of the struggle. Ppl who have never experienced poverty, lack of support and serious depression have zero idea. Usually younger ppl or privileged ppl who just cannot understand.
