San Diego Family Lives Out Of Their Van

- For San Diego County's homeless, finding a safe place to sleep just got a little harder. A week ago the City of Vista pulled the plug on a program there. Cornerstone Christian Church opened its parking lot for people to sleep overnight in their cars. But the city said the program would need to apply for costly permits and undergo public hearings to continue. Dreams for Change, the organization running the program, still offers an overnight lot close to downtown San Diego. Reporter Acacia Squires brings us this story of one family taking advantage of it.

She is a beautiful person. She's not blaming anyone and is so positive !! She is dealing with her situation and remaining strong for her children. I Love her attitude. I learned right now from this woman that you can get through bad times. It was her smiling face and happy children. I think when she gets through being homeless, with all her children, there's nothing she can't handle as a mother.
My hero!!! God Bless her!!
Donna you are a beautiful person too. I love your attitude and totally think the same.Wishing this loving mom with her children lots of luck for in the future. They will get through this!
I think she is being positive for her babies. That is a strong woman.
donna luce nice comment!
You’re so right. Loved your positive comments!
AMEN!!!!💯💯💯
Wow what kind of man let his family deal with this alone🙄
A fuckboi. A MAN would neverrrr
Dale Francis right ! I have him on child support I don’t understand this .. it will at least keep me in a motel
A "MAN" wouldn't.
He's not a man he's a punk
He isn't a man but a little boy in a man's body, useless male specimen.
May the Lord bless her and her babies, for everything they need.
Bless her Lord, for everything she and her babies need.
They need contraceptives. Does the Lord provide them ?
She is beautiful and so are her children.
Cathy Waller 🙏 amen
Barnettstrongman Jnes fuck you and mind yah business
GRACE AND PEACE TO YOU FROM GOD THE FATHER AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST !!!!!
Never say it won't happen to you because you never know.
Nope, already been homeless once. Bad choices and vices lead to that. Leaving a place she can afford to San Diego was a STUPID STUPID mistake
True
@dkd da Who said you were dumb? 🤔
@dkd da Well I don't recall saying any of you were dumb, but ok. 👍🏾
That's right
She comes across the country to be closer to the father- and he's letting his children sleep on the streets? Okay- don't take your ex wife in- but your kids? Wow.
I would take them all in, because she's still the mother, but as soon as I can, because of my her" I would find them a nice place too live .
yessa lee that’s because if he took them in they’ll get less welfare and no free home. They’re scroungers.
yessa lee sad
Now that’s what we call a deadbeat dad🤦🏾♀️😒
😱@@blobbyblob2573 ❗
YOU CANT GET GOVERNMENT ASSITANT WITHOUT A HOUSING OR APARTMENT LEASE OR MORGAGE❗
Her smile is so beautiful. It's 8 years after this video was first published. I wish their family all the very best and I hope they are all safe, happy and doing well.
Where is she now?
She really hit rock bottom. One of her sons has cancer and the father is NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. What kind of man is that? I admire the mother's optimism, and I hope she got some help because she and her children don't deserve to suffer.
They don't. He has to think of them sometimes. How can he accept this?
@@barnettstrongmanjnes5023 Moron, nonsense. Black mammies have aborted 20 million babies since the 1960s to please white daddy.
Michael Smith man can you keep your hatred for black women to yourself I’m tired of seeing all you racist mfs comments talking bad about black women that aren’t bothering you
Michael Smith yea that’s true but it’s not just to please white men it’s to please black men too it’s a shame that women would kill their baby just because some man told them too
I don't feel sorry for her at all a white man play her like that she deserve it a black man wasn't good enough for her stay in your own damn race the situation was even worse than because it by white man
First look, I immediately thought she should be a good mother. She sounds calm and caring. 👏🙏
And not mentally ill. I hope she got out of that situation fast.
That's what they WANT you to think. You only know half of the story, the females half. Not good enough!
She is a good mother............... Making this an adventure as opposed to a hardship for them.
Traders Friend a good mother doesn’t irresponsibility make 5 children
Traders Friend ah
Blobby Blob she was married
Ebony Davis married or not it’s still the fathers responsibility too. He should put his children up it’s not the tax payers responsibility. Why have so many. I have no sympathy or empathy. I see you keep making excuses for her and the likes of her.
Traders Friend you're a very smart woman
She is so positive and knows that her situation is temporary. I like that.
wait you can be disqualified for help because of too many kids???? if anything she should be given priority
Frances DaGraca It's a screwed up system. People WITHOUT kids are more likely to get a place than people WITH kids..
Exactly. Let her had a been an illegal, they would have helped her in a heartbeat
TrucketteTV MsMac Yep! An illegal with a "caravan" of beggars. They get freebies immediately in CA.
That’s what I said ...smh
stop breeding..should be at the top of her list.
She seems like such a sweet lady. I hope, 6 years later, she is now happily living in a stable home and all her beautiful little ones are doing well.
She's doing a good job under terrible circumstances. That little boy had to go thru cancer and treatment, now he has to go thru homelessness? I'm praying he and his family get blessed so much it blows their socks off. God bless them.
Often men will leave spouses when they birth a special needs child or the child or wife has a major illness . Working in health care l have seen this too many times.
theresa bollman the kids are so sweet and the father should be ashamed of himself
Linda Curry that’s not the reason the father is just bad he would have left either way
@@trees8240 Evil men leave and then start a new family with a new wife and don't look back at the disable kid and ex-wife and corrupt judges are letting them.
@@trees8240 hl8ih vvv7 kd
It’s all about perspective; that family is safe, loved, has a roof over their heads, food and each other. That is a strong mother. God bless that family. ❤️
Her beautiful children looked happy and healthy
GOD Bless them
Looks are deceiving. These children are SUPER STRESSED. They know they are homeless. Maybe the baby doesn't have a clue, but the toddlers up KNOW!
Amazing Mother!
Father is an a**hole for letting HIS kids sleep on the street but thank goodness this woman is so damn strong and keeps her kids happy and busy! Hope for the best for them
where's her ex husband
+Queen Bee My thoughts exactly! Understandable if he doesn't want to take in his ex-wife, but his own kids??? I'd be devastated if I ever saw my kids live on the streets when I can provide them with a roof and some warmth and comfort...
Right
@dachicagoan With another gullible black mammy
busy with Becky...
Yes ex husband doesn't mean ex daddy. He made them he needs to tell his white wife what he did buy her some diamonds and take care of these kids.
She has such a great spirit. I hope everything work out for her. Those kids are beautiful!
My family has been living in a hotel for over 2 years. I'm a born again Christian and my children are being raised with God's values. My husband got laid off of work and we just can't seem to get out of this situation. We make the best out of every day and are waiting for God to deliver us from this journey. I pray for each and everyone of you who are homeless. May God bless you and keep you safe. In Jesus name. Never give up on waiting for your miracle. Just keep doing what you can and let God do the rest ❤✝
Vickie Finney ..Amen Beautiful. Praying A Miracle For You.
I've been homeless before, and she's handling it was better than I ever could. What an excellent mother. She's making being homeless sort of a living experience for them, and still allowing them to be kids. For me, it was a constant panic sort of thing. I was so worried about getting mugged or losing my job or something else stupid.
What an amazing open-minded calm and caring woman! She is doing the right thing by keeping her children busy and trying to stay positive. I wish her and her BEAUTIFUL FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE children all of the best in the world. God bless them!!!
I like how positive and strong she is about her life even though they lived in a van.... Blessed a woman like her that never give up in her children and her life 😭
Yes. Some kids would trade a house life w parents who are alcoholics and fight all the time, for one living in a van w a mother like this one.
I wonder how she and her children are doing today. I hope they are no longer homeless and all doing well.
It takes strong will to be so optimistic in situations like this. I hope everything works out for her and the kids.
Doesn't she get child support? If not, TAKE THE DADDY TO COURT!
cruyeda That was already party of her plan perhaps. Filing out of state could take years.... But now since she is in the same town as her husband, filing and being awarded money and health care should take about 6 months for her
Glam Bammers filling out of state definitely doesn’t take years! 😒
When u r working all of the time it may b hard to keep up with going to court steadily to follow up on a child support case
Umm can you hangout in court while hungry
Glam girl here do u live BC filing out of state don't take no time
So proud of you Mama keep those babies together by any means necessary, one day A door will open just for you
I hope she’s okay now and they’ve found a home. It’s been 7 years

Im so blessed to have my man that wakes up everyday to provide for us.. i work too but only while my kids are at school.
how can a so call men allow there children to live like this you cant just blame her
luckylou07 - maylea mineyourbusiness said "you can't blame JUST her", this means blaming both. Did you not get English composition in school? Good grief.
Easy he wanted out so call for a Lawyer and farmers will create cancer while they live in their Walton house. No one wants to pay for her children's meals or a roof over their heads his semen goes on forever her need for a family and the riches country in the World is made by a pyramid system with poor peas at the bottom they get squashed in the process...umm is there emotional help for the feelings of old fashion family Walton ideals only for farmers they all work together to have what the poor peas also want for future ideals of having this family network that government takes over by teachers living off your mistakes
SHE IS DOING GOOD KEEPING 5 CHILDREN BUSY !!! 👋🏾😚And she do not have TOO many children. She got how many God blessed her to have .💗
She is truly making the best out of what could be a devastating situation. Bless her and her babies 💛

I am so proud of her heavenly Father send your Angels there to watch over Beautiful children of God
Now this is true protective parenting. I love how she's pushing for her children to see the brighter side, while she works on getting housed. I hope things turned out well for her.
I pray she and her family are well. God bless them. She is remarkably resilient. I greatly admire her strength.
They have a beautiful house now

She have a beautiful and positive spirit. She is not letting her situation get her down.
What an awesome mother! Good attitude & trying to keep her beautiful family together. I wish I had a lot of money. I would love to buy them a new home, nicely furnished, with the cupboards & frig. filled to the max with food. Any of us can be in this situation at any given time. God bless this dear lady & her children.
She's got an aura that can overcome whatever life is going to offer. Love her positive vibes.
Great woman! And pretty. Bad shit happens to good people. Haters gonna hate!
Hating on what?
What an amazing woman and mother.
Praying for this family 🙏, and all the homeless.
Watching this woman staying so strong for her children made me a better person and be appreciative of what I already have really.
Continue to stay strong your future is better you can get through this ...
What is wrong with the "father" he is no father.
And she still manage to smile, wow...this is a strong woman
She seems like such a sweet person but something is off here. Hopefully they’re ok
@ALPO YAO LMFAO Black Men aren't held accountable for the type of sh*t. Are you serious?
@ALPO YAO No he wouldn't, 'cause she wouldn't even know the Black Dude's Name, that she bent over for
@ALPO YAO Why do you think there's so many BLACK SINGLE Mothers? With 100% Black kids?
God Please protect her and her children! God ,Please supply every they,give them a home, shelter, food. Let someone who sees this video, or walks pass her, try to help her,with resources, Thank you God! Is there an update to her situation? 🙏🙏
Tina Cosom. This was so sweet! We need more people like you in these times! God bless you sister in God😃
Oh in another video , she moved back the Metro Detroit and got a brand new house,fully furnished! . This was like in 2013 or something
Lana's Daydream ......where did you see that video?? Thank you .....
Ameen!
Mother's always make away. Prayers.
She is strong with a beautiful spirit. Her faith and perseverance showed that you can "choose," joy in the hardest of circumstances. So happy their entire world turned around.
Many woman do this. When the man is no longer interested in being a husband or a father he runs to a different state. The mother of the children feels sad for her babies and chases after him in hopes that he will either come back to her or be in the children’s lives.
She seems devastated but hopeful. I love her willingness to make it as it seems her family has been through a lot....
P.S. Having children or even getting pregnant is not going to make that man stay. I’m sure someone who is in a position to help will see this story and guide her to success.
What an absolutely beautiful family. And mom is still smiling through it all.
Seems like a wonderful human being, god bless her and her family.
Shes a good mother i hope her and the kids are safe and have a place too stay now❤
salute for her. she is a strong mother.
God be with you all❤I pray God finds you and you are all together and happy❤ I pray the same prayer for me and my child
What an amazing mom❤️ I would love to see a follow up story.
I'm Disabled, a Veteran, and have been homeless for two years. I'm not a drug addict, just lost my housing two years ago when the Apartment Complex I was living at was sold to a buyer in Toronto, who promptly notified the tenants living with Section 8 or VASH assistance was given the option to move out or pay full market value rent. I found while looking for a place to move to, that most low income housing was eliminated in this same fashion by greedy investors.
I bought an old van on payments and was forced to start living in it. I did so for a year and was offered a tiny fiberglass trailer on payments. I found that the person I bought it from had mislead me on a clear title, and have had difficulty getting it registered and legal to tow. I have been stranded at a Recreation Area, above Kingman Arizona for seven months now trying to get repairs done to my van. It is no longer safe to drive, and definitely not suitable to tow my trailer. It has been a living hell, upto 128 degrees at times this summer, now dealing with freezing cold at night and heavy winds. Every time I try to get some repairs made, something comes up. I bought a used generator which failed in a couple weeks, had to buy another one, then my emotional support dog Archie was badly bitten and required veterinary care, my air conditioning compressor failed in my Van, I cut my knuckle to the bone and ligaments on some glass discarding some trash which resulted in an Emergency Room Visit. I have been trying to get help, and have not much success. I was accepted for Rapid Rehousing through the Catholic Charities, but have searched all over Mohave County but found I cannot afford an apartment on my disability income. I am now in a panic as I was notified by the Catholic Charities Caseworker handling my information, had their computer stolen and now my personal information has been compromised. I am on a waiting list for Section 8, basically started over. I did not choose to be in this homeless situation, and have been doing my best to deal with everything I have experienced the past 2 years. I had to literally give everything I owned away when I lost my apartment EVERYTHING!, I did try and keep my many tools, but those to were lost by a "friend" who was going but keep them until I get settled, but would never respond to my calls or texts. I am absolutely sick of my life. I don't live anymore, I merely exist, and it's not much of an existence. I have not showered in nearly 8 months, and haven't bathed in over two years since losing my apartment. I have reached out to every VA organization or service center for help, but am ineligible. I served 6 years in The Air National Guard, and was honorably discharged, but still don't meet the requirements as I was on active duty for well over a year with Avionics Technical School, and was activated during Desert Storm, but could not deploy with my unit, as I was a 3 level technician straight out of school. I have no family for support, no friends, only a few people I have met while being homeless. I have had a fellow vet brings some water bottles and food items several months back, but I don't see how I can ever get out of my situation as my limited income doesn't suffice...
Wow, such a good mother and shes doing the best for her babies... may God bless her also her Beautiful babies 💙 hope shes doing better!
She is one brave woman. God bless her and her beautiful children! I hope with all my heart things improve for them.
I hope she gets the helps she needs because she is very positive about the situation and she is doing what he have to for her kids. Im standing up clapping for her.
She did. They have a beautiful house now.
@@prncessbaby16 oh really you know her personally.
@@jazzmapalmer6497 no but someone on another comment thread here posted an updated UA-cam video of her and her family.
@@prncessbaby16 oh okay send it to me if you can. That's a true blessing
she is strong. this is trully mothers loves.
God Bless this family. Children are adaptable and this mom makes this a great adventure and this keeps the children happy because their mom is their “Rock” I wish the best of everything this world has to offer to this precious family. In the years following the grownup children will talk about this and say this was the “Best” days of their childhood 🙋🏼♀️ I know this is true because my mom was our “Rock” with all 5 of us 💯
Wherever you are, you seem like such a positive and kind person. I hope you're doing well. You and your children are beautiful.
Just keep pushing, you'll & your children will soon come to a peaceful clearing and live happily ever after. Just DON'T QUIT OR GIVE UP, YOUR KIDS NEED YOU MORE THAN YOU NEED YOURSELF! GOD BLESS YOU. I REALLY ADMIRE YOUR POSITIVE ATTITUDE & PLEASANT DEMEANOR.
Yeah we'll pick up the pieces and marry her daddy Walton can you do that for her?
There’s no one stronger then a women trying to be strong for her children ❤️ I pray god keeps sheltering them as she prays everything falls into place
Our yesterdays have no importance, except as experience in making today more fruitful.
Beautiful family and this mother has an amazing ability to remain positive.
Just about I always pray for the homeless ...Lord bless this family...
Yet, she doesn't drop her smile so her kids won't pick up on any negative energy. Now that is a SUPER MOM!! So much to admire from her!!
She has such a positive attitude I know it’s for the kids or the camera but I can’t help but think why would the father allow them to live like that this shit is making me mad
Blessings to her & her beautiful children wherever they may be today! I 🙏🏾♥️
This is sad instead of giving this woman a job and one of the thousands of vacant homes we have here in California they force this woman to sleep in her car... People always say there's no jobs.. BULLSHIT they're just reserving them for the right person.
What a well put together woman! Hard times won't be hard forever. Hope she's doing well these days.
5 kids!!! He's her EX-husband for a reason! Why would she travel cross country for a deadbeat dad? She's delusional. I feel great pity for her kids.
This is a great mom with a huge heart. How many women and men out there that have a job are complaining every day for every thing and she does not have a job or where to live but she is so positive and dreaming on having a better future. God bless her
I'm so confused by this. How does one move across country like that with 5 kids, without an iron clad plan, or 2 or 3. And where the heck is the ex-husband? Did he even know she was coming?
SOUNDS LIKE A LIE.... SHE HAS TOO MANY CHILDREN PERIOD..... IF FIVE YEARS AGO HER SON HAD CANCER WHY DID YOU JUST KEEP HAVING BABIES
+wildcurlgirl True..having a child with cancer is emotionally and physically draining...and she's still having babies. insane
So often we, the tax payers do what the fathers won't. It's so sad.
Do not be so harsh , what you is see is not always what it truly is . Everyone deals with situations DIFFERENTLY . You should be patting her on the back , not any of these rude comments .
3/6/18.....WHERE do these kids go to school during the school year?
HOW about the son who had cancer? WHY did this intelligent well-spoken lady stay in bad relationship & keep having kids?
She came across country in a van with 5 kids, so WHERE is their dad that she brought them to see & WHY isn't he helping them? Why are taxpayers supposed to pay for this woman & her kids? Let that abusive dad fork over some $$$.
An amazing, beautiful soul right there. She deserves a decent home for her family. Inspirational.
I wish her the best. This is an indication of the quality of men as well. CHOOSE WISELY.
You don't always know! Some people don't show their true colors or change after married.
Caitlin Soliman TRUTH
@@deaddropsd1972 I had married a seriously abusive narcissist before who had been so kind and romantic throughout our entire dating period....I was really duped.
Caitlin Soliman damn
Wow, the fact that she has that beautiful smile on her face shows her faith. You always think your going through rough times until you hear other ppl stories.
so many people are so rude you can not say nothing about no mother thats trying you dont know what caused her to be in this and until half of you say i truly know how it is to struggle with kids like this then you need to shut the hell up and that god y'all are not homeless keep judging and watch you will fall!!!!
Deshelia Bowen I agree! people can be so negative!
Deshelia Bowen ....😉🖒👍👌👏❤
Right, because uprooting five kids and moving to a city where you have no job, no money and no guaranteed housing is the responsible thing to do....
I8thumper maybe I heard wrong, but didn't she say, "ex- husband ".
How strong is this women. The fight in her is seriously strong may God bless her.
Having children is a choice. Let me repeat that. Having children is a choice. Why in the world would you have five children when you can't even afford one? That is an incredibly selfish thing to do because you are basically committing them to poverty and deprivation. Then, why would you move to the most expensive place in the country to live? If she had just abstained from having children until she could afford to care for them, none of this would have occurred. That was her choice alone. Now, her bad choices become all of our financial responsibilities.
Wow! Amazing woman. And beautiful children - hope all ends with them finding a permanent home.
I have known several women to pickup and leave one state for another bc of a man and it never work out. It's very disruptive to the children's lives. When you move away from family/friends, you loose network of supporters. Women, esp. mother's should be cautious of such moves. Also, where's the father, now? He has no place of his own? No, family that can help with housing? And, he can't be doing too well, he should have moved to MI.
LV West It does seem like she’s chasing after her husband.... Sad story
LV Teach Me ..Respect...People Talk A Good Game And Do Lip Service When It Comes To Children..But At The End Of The Day Only The Grandmother Will Truly Help Her Daughter With Her Children. At The End If The Day..People Care Absolutely Nothing About Women But To Use, manipulate, belittle, Talk, And Put Her down. Look How judgmental and ugly these comments are. You have kids out of wedlock you’re bad..You Are Good If You Have Kids And You And the Husband Are Still Together. But if he abandons You..especially Because You Have Kids..You Are nothing...
.for Women..sadly ..Just Because You Are A Woman ..With People..You Just can’t win..
I hope they're doing better & in a nice comfy home. Her kids are beautiful she is too ❤️❤️♥️
Best Wishes to this family! Cant judge her! She has beautiful kids!
She is so sweet, hope things turn around and those children can get a shelter over their heads.
Good for you leaving an abusive husband. Hang in there..
Couldn't been to abusive because 1 you drove across the country to go back to him and 2 you had 5 kids with this man....once i got away from my abuser boyfriend i ran and hid...i didnt want a kid let aline 5 kids with him and never ever have i looked for him again!
Who said he was abusive? A deadbeat for sure, but she didn’t say he was abusive.
Any man that don't know if their kid ate that day is abusive. Abuse isn't always physical.
Isthatso notsofast that’s neglect.
ALPO YAO who even said that her husband no matter the race was abusing her? He could just be a deadbeat dad for all we know. Also wtf does race have to do with this? She picked her husband because he’s white and she wanted kids with “good hair” ...wth...so no way she could’ve actually fallen for the guy? Just wanted him for his skin color/hair? Yea, ok🤦♀️👍🏽 wasn’t aware that all mixed race kids were the result of self hatred. Thanks for the memo.
This was a encouraging video, I'm going through a similar situation with my 4 sons, thank you for sharing your message.
Why would you move for a man that didn’t help you
You are a wonderful mother and woman. A man would be lucky to have such a strong positive like you.
Sorry that she lost her job Why would she move across state w/o a plan Why is she not getting child support for her 5 kids
I think she needs a good family lawyer to help her get money from heartless father.
You see she has a baby ... obviously her husband walked out on the family and she steady chasing him across the country
Sharon Wilkins I think even if she got child support the dad wouldn’t afford to pay and he’d go to jail. Either way she may have to struggle by herself which is so sad. Praying for them 🙏🏾
When have you known a La'Quesha to have a plan?
How you know she didnt have a plan...and it didnt work out?
God Bless this woman I pray things are better..forgive me God for ever complaining about my hardships..I only have one son and,he is,a good kid❤❤❤❤
