A 94 year old woman should never ever be homeless. Her daughter should be appalled. She is a disgrace.
That's ✅
You are what you made it to be. I'm 88 years old and not homeless because I made it so. My life motto is, "Don't depend on or trust anyone, but yourself".
I agree. These "children" of the homeless parents should be ashamed of themselves. Their parents took care of them now its the adult children's turn to take care of their parents.
@@daw7773 Yeh, you would think so, but don't depend on it.
never trust friends or family with your future
No senior should be homeless. We should have senior apartments and assisted living communities that all American seniors can afford. This is a national disgrace.
@Mark Hollingsworth 😢...Israel does *NOT* need our money..they have plenty!!!!!!
They have no homeless in other countries and the Netherlands they take care of their people ..the United states dont care just want us to pay more and the streets are full of homeless even woman with children
Not just in America
@@angelatrebor8681 I'm pretty sure he was being facetious
This is a family disgrace. All of these folks have family. Why can they just dump their elderly?
The richest country in the world, and we cant take care of our own. Sad
They CAN but WON'T...
It's not that we can't it's that people and government's refuse to take care of our own.
But the newest stimulus package contains millions of dollars to study transsexuals in Lebanon!!!!
Yet we have hundreds of Americans who are elderly living on the streets.
Our world has gone completely mad!
@@clairelivefreeordie2551 AND MILLIONS FOR ILLEGALS AND PEOPLE WHO NEVER PAID A SINGLE IN TAXES ,
They cant take care of themselves.
She have five kids but non of them helping her? Wow I lost faith in having kids. I would never let this happen to my dad. My dad right now is living with us and it will stay that way until he pass away.
That's right! 👍🏽
I did that for my mom. My sister had dad
Maybe that’s a testament to the type of mother she was
This country is not structured to have multigenerational families sharing a home like other cultures. Other countries do not have this problem because their kids are taught to value the importance of family.
She said herself she wouldn't let them help her...older people aren't known for their flexibility. You can't force them.
Never put your house under your kid's name. You just never know.
That was incredible.
King Lear.
Or your bank accounts.
Many years ago that very same thing happened right on the street I lived on. Big house, the son moved in with his family to mother's to 'take care' of her. Next thing you know she was in a home and the house was sold. He moved out of state and left her in the convelesent home. Pretty common thing I think.
My mom did. She lived there til she could not moved in with us and she herselp put the house up for sale. Names were on her bank accounts as well. She trusted us and she knew it. It was an honor to have her live with me til she died. I still miss her and my dad and it is 14 yrs for her and 24 for him
5 kids and she can’t be on a mattress in the living room? Sickening. How do people live with themselves? I had an old dog that had bad arthritis and I couldn’t afford to eat and buy his meds so each day I had one peanut butter sandwich and I bought his pain meds. And this is a human being with family. I have no words.
Good for you; that is what you should do for innocent animals. However, every older person is not necessarily a nice person, just because they have aged. Also, those who are independent in personality and nice, may not want to burden or interfere with their adult children's life or lifestyle. I certainly would not want to live with mine, and we are very close.
@@poppyflower7873 thank you for that perspective....I guess I wouldn't want to live with my future kids either if I've been living independently for so long. Although if being homeless was my only option I would either try to live with a roommate or ask kids for help.
Bless you for what you did for your dog. And I totally agree with you on your other points.
I've made my bed now I have to sleep in it
American boomers often kick their kids out at 18. In such cases, It's not surprising their kids wouldn't feel any responsibility towards them. If none of her kids want anything to do with her, there's probably a good reason
This is NOT ok!
We need to take care of the elderly. This is sad
Breaks my Heart!! Their families need to STEP UP and care for them!
Such a shame here in America the richest nation.
Hello, Margie! How are you doing? It's bad for us to leave our parents who cared for us in the cold when she is old. Although I don't have any relatives growing up. Where are you from and I hope you don't mind me asking?
this is horrific!! I'm not leaving my mom out in the cold no matter what!
Me either
Hello Laurie greetings from 🇺🇸
Totally agree!!! You don't treat your parents in this inhumane manner!!!
Bless your heart, you are a good daughter.
No way.
I have to say that the daughter who sold her mothers home and evicted her, that was not right at all. That is something I could never do.
It's a happening thing in America. But there is karma. If it doesn't happen here in this life time, it'll for Shure happen in the afterlife....
@@vuelee5313 it is a happening thing
Wow...just heartbreaking 💔. There must be something legal the woman could do to recoup the $ from the sale of her home. Not only was this act a despicable thing to do to anyone, much less your own parent, it *had* to have been illegal, no?
Unbelievable!! The daughter will have that come back to bite her!! Karma!
The daughter will get her just dessert some day.....God works in mysterious ways!
This is a Cold world 😢
Yeah Nasty 🤢 Nancy’s callous cold world 🌎

My momma died wen i was real young but if i had my momma I'd never let her be homeless. She borned me. I would look after her💔💗 these stories are so heartbreaking. Godbless these beautiful souls💛❤
Yes, the story of letting an elderly live homeless is heartbreaking to us as a nation. Greetings from Preston and I hope you don't mind me texting. How are you doing and where are you from?
Borned you? LOL! You mean "borne."
I come from an Asian culture and I was shocked to see how the elderly are treated. It is really sad.
It is a known fact that Asians treasure and respect their elderly and take extremely good care of them.
Your culture is beautiful, be proud
Its cos western culture is an absolute joke, based on corruption and greed from the very top.
Never thought Americans elderly live like this.
Im from Eastern Europe and this don't happen here!
Nancy's story brought me to tears!! the way they dumped her! appalling and disgusting.
Hello Christina greetings from 🇺🇸
For the lady that has 5 kids, I can't believe one of them couldnt have picked her up from the hospital and at least found her a hotel if they don't want her living with them. Seems outrageous. I don't have the best relationship with mine but I would bring her home anyway. I could not have her out on the street.
I just don't understand that either, they could go together n get her a apt. if they don't want her living with them. It is outrageous!!!
@@sandib4234 , yes ma'am I agree 💯
Kids are crazy nowadays
Imaginaryhomegirl - Your Mother brought you into this World. No matter your circumstances, please find it in your heart to better your relationship with her. She is not perfect - neither are you. Often misunderstandings are all that keeps families from loving each other. Break through your difficult relationship with her if you are able to. Life is too short for families to not be close to each other. Could you send your mother flowers with a little note saying "Thinking of You". You might find that releases a lot of love your mother holds for you in her heart & is not able to express to you. Beneath all family misunderstandings, a deeper love awaits. You are commendable to want to care for & shelter your mother if she needed you to. Shows you have a measure of love for her. Praying for your mother & daughter healing.
Prob a family where there always has been a cold wind between them.
Why do the elders feel that they are not part of their children’s family?In India even the poorest of poor don’t abandon their elderly parents.They are all in it through thick or thin.
Strong Family ties and mutual interdependency is what is needed in US.
What you're saying is true, but this is America, where it's every person for themselves, even if it means your elderly mother is homeless or lives on the street. Don't put your trust in your children or grandchildren. Put your trust in Jesus.
@@maryrgreen28
In the Asian culture, they respect their elders. Just shameful.
@@korger1481 I wish I had been lucky enough to have lived in their beautiful land and culture,to have raised my children there so they could have learned what humanity is, al countries that live right should be proud,
@@maryrgreen28 I'm sure Jesus notices the countries that have followed his command to honor your father and mother, and for people to take care of the widows and orphans,
Used to be that way here too. The problem is the GVT set out to destroy loyalty to the family and substitute loyalty to the GVT instead. To do this they created 'womens lib' in the 70s, got mom out of the house and the kids into daycare. It truly was a plot, the added bonus was MORE PAYROLL TAXES TO USE. Those were the years when the roots of all today's problems were planted. Kids raised by people from cradle to college, By people who are at best indifferent to them 8-10 hours a day do not form close bonds to their families. Amazing the autism and all the 'spectrum' of it's symptoms seem to follow a trend. Now we have people of an age with aspects of it raising their own kids. I know a bit about the subject of childhood and proper stimulation of the brain. Back in the 70s Early Childhood Ed. was my major... Dissociative disorder was a hot topic then... They knew what they (GVT)were doing and why. Today we see the result in many people under 50.
That poor Woman whose daughter sold her house from right out under her has no conscious.
Hopefully , what goes around comes back around for that bird.
So sad.
Pos daughter
She will reap what she has sown
I'm glad and grateful that my oldest brother provided a nice home for my Mom. He literally bought a house for her to live in.
Later my sister moved in the same house to help look after Mom.
Hi, Pamela! It's very sad to know that people treat old people like nothing knowing full well that they will be old one day. However am Preston hope you are fine, and staying safe. Where are you from? Hope you don't mind me asking.

Hello Carol! How are you doing, Hope you are fine and staying safe and sound? and I hope you don't mind me asking??
The treatment of seniors in this country is criminal. Hospitals have shoved me out the door before still ill, in one case with a blood count of eight (fourteen is normal). Companies make up reasons to eliminate older employees which is illegal. The real eye opener is the same abusers complain the loudest when they wind up on the receiving end of the same types of elderly abuse they dished out.

@@Brucev7 how do you expect people to receive care from the government if taxes are so low.
@@deanrobinson7992 You don't know economics. More in the pocket, less government. Has worked for decades.
The biggest lie and joke is that kids get tought in school. America is based on Christianity. Really?
What you say is so true but the state governments are doing very little to help older people yet there are 54 million seniors. We should write our Congress and state governments and tell them to do something or we will not vote them in again.
This is shameful! We have failed our elders. Expecting their children to care for them is preposterous - too many children grow cruel and indifferent. This woman had her home sold out from under her by her daughter. Some children are amazingly selfish and cruel to their parents.
It IS up to children to take care of their parents just like their parents took care of them it is NOT the taxpayers' (government's) responsibility when there is family. They should be arrested for abuse.
Actually she GAVE her home to her daughter, a mistake we should ALL learn from. Guess it is all to common now. All of us in our senior years should realize it is US that need protection, not our adult kids. They can save for their future, we should not sacrifice ours that we worked scrimped and saved for.
My siblings did it to my father, I took early retirement and took care of him till he passed with als. Family is forever!
Hello Billy greetings from 🇺🇸
I had 8 siblings. I quit school and work to take care of my dad before he died from cancer. My mom was disabled so she lived with me and I supported her until she passed from cancer 5 years after dad. None of my brothers and sisters helped in any way.

SAME. My mother is very difficult. And yes, we sold her home because her neighborhood became dangerous for both of us. I bought another and she lives with Mr. My brother on the other hand, pretty much abandoned her. I hate that my whole life will go to caretaking. I'm single, no kids...and I worry for my old age too. But if I don't care for her...who will?
That woman who had 5 kids and not one of them would help her. And that woman that sold her mother's house and watched her own mother be evicted!!
Maybe they can’t afford themselves.
I wonder what the family dynamics were when the 5 daughters were children. It's just odd that all 5 didn't offer help. There may have been some incredible abuse.
@@eckankar7756 Maybe the children can’t afford to help🤷🏾♀️

Senior subsidized housing and the government funding has seen cuts for many years, when it should have been increased. That means existing housing units were lost.
It's not up to the government to take care of anyone who has family that can. That's the problem: let the taxpayers do it.
@@dat2ra You can’t force family members to support their elderly. It’s voluntary. We have enough for the military and billions to give to foreign countries but not enough to help our elderly. You’re priorities are messed up.

Most of us that have children, they just don't want us , or to be bothered with us , but we didn't abandon them when they were helpless , we took care of them the best we could and loved them . I took care of my mom and dad, but this generation is selfish, Karma will come in play sooner or later , what comes around goes around . God sees everything.

What I don't understand is? Hospitals have social services. How can they put that woman on the streets for someone to hurt her? We have to do better. They should have put her in a home of some sort, a rehabilation center for seniors until they could make better arrangements.
You are right! If she was in NYC they would have arranged for her to live in a nursing home. They have programs here to help seniors and the disabled.

My 103 yr. old mother lives with me. There is NO WAY she could survive in a nursing home. I could not do it without my fantastic wife.
Have you heard about the allocation refund for the year?found your name on it
The nursing home staff would probably kill her. Some pretty wicked people work in those places. Many can't get a regular job because of a criminal record. Nursing homes are often so understaffed they'll hire just about anyone.
I can't imagine my parents ever having to have lived in a home either. I was a CNA in a nursing home for a short stint. It was absolutely horrific how the nurses neglected the residents. They were treated no better than caged dogs. OSHA was a joke, they never did anything about repeated reports of neglect. I was so emotionally distressed not being able to do more, I had to find a different career.
It's the responsibility of her grown children to take their mother in and care for her. Shame on them for not insisting that she move in with them!

Hello Cynthia! How are you doing, Hope you are fine and staying safe and sound? and I hope you don't mind me asking??
How shocking! I cared for my dear mother as best I could for twenty-five years until she died and for most of the time I was relatively badly off. She didn't want to move from her friends and the neighbourhood she knew so well. She had only a tiny income, so I paid bills, bought clothes and food, and visited very regularly (a round trip of about 400 miles). I regarded it as a sacred duty to look after mother in her old age and frailty. Apart from that, seniors should be provided with accommodations and an income that enables them to live with dignity.

Are you kidding…nowadays the governments just wanna kill them off…ex jabs…low pensions ets
They need to help these people.
How about a highrise hotel, with large studio apartments, with a mini kitchen and lite meals down stairs in a dining room. With once a week housekeeping.
For maybe half of their SSI payments. ?
We need private philanthropist to help us with affordable housing for our seniors.
The population is shifting, soon there will be more seniors "baby boomers" than before.
Sorry.. The rich need the tax cuts to buy that 4th or 5th yacht.
True in countries like India u get to see so many orphanages,senior citizens shelters run by philanthropic individuals who are not necessarily super rich.
@@meuass
Regarding, Philanthropists paying for senior affordable housing ..
If a rich person sets up a "Foundation" like the William Randolph foundation, he can only use the money for charity's not for private purposes. So he can give money to say, a private hospital for new radiology equipment, a homeless shelter, or to inter city kids for a vocational training program, but not for a yacht. He can also use the money from the foundation the for rent of an office and staff. But not a private limousine. People only set up this type of foundation if they have more money than anyone can spend in a lifetime. I can send you a list of potential donors, if you have a charity that needs money. You just have to write them a letter (grant proposal) and they send you money. There's directions on wikipedia about "How to write a grant proposal"
Im one of those boomers. Im 64. I am married. But if anything happened to my husband, I would not want to live with my daughter. Nothing personal. They have such a different way of living. I could live in a travel trailer in their driveway, but not in the same home 24/7. I hope I never have to move in.
@@sharoncrawford3042 64, no husband, I'm dead to 1 son for turning him in for child abuse, my daughter's relationship is like yours. My only son who cares about me will be going to prison for years & years soon. My SS is $750 a month. Biden will probably steal my 401k. I owe $38,000 on my home.
😭 My heart goes out to them. Nobody is completely safe from such a terrible and sad reality. At any age in the world we presently live in.
There is an absolute need for plenty more high density social housing, including wheelchair accessible senior buildings.
If there is a will there is a way. It needs to be a priority though.

Thank you for sharing... I've been in my Senior Apartment for almost 5 years... I still 😢 Thankful and Blessed too.🌻🌻
I think it would help if more seniors were aware/educated that they could do what a lot of younger people do and rent a place together/ have roommates, if there homeless because they are priced out of the rental market it might be the solution for them, if they are homeless then they often don't have a strong support system so there is not much tying them to where they live so hoping on a bus and heading to a cheaper location is also an option, maybe if senior organizations helped facilitate these options it could help more seniors

I don't want to live with my kids. Cost would be a worse burden on them. I'd rather be homeless than cause all to be homeless.
That's because you don't really believe they love you😥 there's no way my parents would ever face homelessness no way!!!!

Im 64. My dad had dementia. Had his own home. But got sick and could not live alone anymore. I took him in. He wouldnt do anything I told him. He was getting to the place where he couldnt walk alone. Wouldnt call for help and wouldnt use a walker. I have a husband who still works full time. So I was on my own with no help. My dad started getting mean with me. I kept him for a week and realized I couldnt do all the things he needed me to do, keep up my own home, and do for myself and husband. So I felt I had no choice but to put him in nursing home. He needed 24/7 care, and there was no way I could do that alone. Sometimes there are reasons a person cannot provide care for an elderly parent. I do good to do for myself and husband. He lived almost a year in the nursing home and passed away.
What was the cost for the nursing home

It depends if the mother abused her children.

People aren't disposable! We don't value our elderly!!! There has to be a better way. So sad to see this trend of elderly becoming homeless.

Why don't they build a lot more affordable housing places for seniors?!! No one should have to live like this in America!
Great suggestion. But, affordable housing is only a temporary solution. Any dwelling will soon require "up-keep," then after a while the place becomes unlivable. Think about it. Just pointing out.
It is not up to "them" to help the elderly; it is up to the families! They should not be allowed to dump their own people onto the rest of society or let them be homeless. Do you see Asian homeless? Never. They are responsible.

Shame on America that there is not more housing for seniors who are in danger being on the streets. She needs to be safe and we should be able to put here there. Kids who talk a older woman into selling her home and then she becomes homeless that kid should go to jail.

@@prestonsmith9824 California a place where there is lots of homeless and America needs to stop these kids or con artist from stealing from seniors. Do you know how many government bases are abandoned and they could make homes for the elderly. It’s just so sad.
@@heidim6468 Yes, it's so sad seeing the elderly who should be relaxing in their old age, go through this process of becoming homeless elderly in the streets. Everyone needs to play an active role in the life of every citizen and they need to stop stealing from the old as you just said. How is the weather condition over there?

Sad! America seem to except this is OK. I am quite elderly and infirmed and will probably be homeless in a month or two. I signed over my property I owned more than 60 years because they lied and told me I would have a place to live. Less than two years they sold it. I put my family on joint accounts........ my grandparents took care of their parents until they’re hundreds I took care of my grandparents until the 90s. Would give my life for my family never ever dreamed they would behave so despicably just for money The Bible does not say money is the root of all evil it says the love of money. Besides being terrified of what tomorrow will bring I’m embarrassed. I got smart too late and old too fast.
I’ve been on all sorts of waiting list for five years. There’s something wrong with Sacramento California even before the pandemic.

WE HAVE ALL THESE OLD MALLS AND MOTELS. CAN'T THEY BE MADE FOR THE ELEDERLY TO LIVE AND GO. FIX THEM UP SO ALL THE HOMELESS ELEDERLY COULD GO FOR HOUSING. EMPTY BUILDINGS MAKE GOOD USE OUT OF THEM. FIX THEM UP FOR ELEDERLY HOMELESS. JUST AN IDEA.
That is a great idea. I wish I could do something more.
Bad idea. They should be living with their families, not in some shopping mall.
When we start throwing people out onto the streets who are 70 or older, it is a sign that our society has truly gone to the devil.

The government will just "depopulate"

This country is a disgrace when in comes to it's elderly. The cost of a nursing home is ridiculous, and to put the elderly on the streets is appalling. This country should do more for the elderly.
Like building high density social housing, and plenty of senior buildings.

We need more people who would be willing to write grant proposals, to private foundations, for homeless shelters and affordable senior housing. Maybe something like a "Boarding House, Hotel" where they can have a room with light meals downstairs for about 1/2 their income.

What is wrong with these children of theirs. How sad. God have mercy on the elderly. I am elderly and I am still in my home. I am disabled and can no longer drive but my kids are always here for me. We have always been a close knitted family, very supportive of each other. That’s the way God intends it to be. Parents should have done their part for their children when young and children should do their part when parents are old. 💕🙏🏼

High costs of rents is what has me homeless!
I paid off my small house when I was 40. It's been such peace of mind for decades now. I worked like crazy when I was young to pay the house off and start saving. We have our whole lives to prepare. Sure things happen, but we all need to do what we can when we are young to put the odds in our favor. The pain of work is measured in ounces, the pain of regret is measured in tons.

The ruff part is it takes a lifetime of this to provide for a decent retirement
it's surely too late for these people, 'maybe too late for you
Teach your children this - ok, that's all I got, you're on your own
As a child in california I was homeless, most of the foster homes I was put in did the deed for money and nothing eals, no preventative health care or dental for this little girl!

That daughter should b brought to court for her appalling action against her own mother ! DREADFUL!! my son told me that when I get old he wants me to come live with him. If it comes to that, I will! IM NOT living on the streets! NO WAY!! I looked after HIM for the first 20 yrs of his life; he can look after me for my last 20 yrs...or so...its the circle of life...thats the way we look at it.
Be grateful you have a son willing to have you live with him. Not all seniors have someone who cares enough.

What kids would allow their parents be homeless, I don't care if the elderly are prideful. Kids must take in their parents. I don't understand not wanting to bruden your kids.
It's saving face because they know they aren't wanted.
That’s disgraceful! I’d never allow my parent or any elderly relative to become homeless, no matter how crowded it might be under my roof! Isn’t it illegal for a hospital to release someone if they have no suitable housing?
