San Diego Family Lives Out Of Their Van
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 сер 2012
- 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 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❗
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.
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 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
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 !!!!!
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.
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?
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 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.
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
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.

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!
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.
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.
I hope she’s okay now and they’ve found a home. It’s been 7 years

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!!!
She has such a great spirit. I hope everything work out for her. Those kids are beautiful!
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. ❤️
It takes strong will to be so optimistic in situations like this. I hope everything works out for her and the kids.
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.
So proud of you Mama keep those babies together by any means necessary, one day A door will open just for you
This woman's attitude is awesome. I pray for a beautiful life for her and her children.
I wonder how she and her children are doing today. I hope they are no longer homeless and all doing well.
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
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 .💗
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.
So sad:( she is such a strong woman
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.
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.
Any update on this family? 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩 I hope she got the help she needed! She seems like a good person
may god bless this family
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
Hang in there sister. Ya got a blessing coming 👍🏾
her positivity and optimism is so inspiring
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.
Great woman! And pretty. Bad shit happens to good people. Haters gonna hate!
Hating on what?
She's got an aura that can overcome whatever life is going to offer. Love her positive vibes.
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.
Awesome young Mother. Good Luck to her and her babies.
Praying for this family 🙏, and all the homeless.
And she still manage to smile, wow...this is a strong woman
Wow her children are so beautiful. What an amazing mother 👏🏾
What an amazing woman and mother.
This kids are so cute.

Mammies fawn over "mixed" / light-skinned kids...now she has a litter of unwanted bastards.
Cheryl Young You Sound so stupid!
I hope things get better for them, they look like such a beautiful family. She is a strong, positive, loving mother. Her attitude is so inspiring. This is surely a bump, she will get back up.
I am so proud of her heavenly Father send your Angels there to watch over Beautiful children of God
Any updates on this family seeing how this is from 2012?
Here is the update😊😊

@@Purpleeyes92 thank you🤗
@@Purpleeyes92 Thank you.
@@Purpleeyes92. Thank you for this video. I was cried when I saw they finally got a house
Update. Still homeless & still black.
Our yesterdays have no importance, except as experience in making today more fruitful.
Mother's always make away. Prayers.
She is truly making the best out of what could be a devastating situation. Bless her and her babies 💛
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.
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!
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
@@prncessbaby16 was there a follow u story we missed? Please drop a link or social media information for her and her family. Thank you.
@@rivoniaollier-burrell6536 I looked and I couldn't find the link but I did see the update on here. I'll try to look again
@@rivoniaollier-burrell6536 got it!! ua-cam.com/video/3U4HxYDl_HU/v-deo.html
What an amazing mom❤️ I would love to see a follow up story.
What an absolutely beautiful family. And mom is still smiling through it all.
What is wrong with the "father" he is no father.
How strong is this women. The fight in her is seriously strong may God bless her.
This was 7 yrs ago, I hope the Americans or the government have rescued this mum and the kids.
A good ending to the story: ua-cam.com/video/3U4HxYDl_HU/v-deo.html
salute for her. she is a strong mother.
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
She have a beautiful and positive spirit. She is not letting her situation get her down.
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 ...
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?
Seems like a wonderful human being, god bless her and her 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 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.
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
Just about I always pray for the homeless ...Lord bless this family...
Shes a good mother i hope her and the kids are safe and have a place too stay now❤
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
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?
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!
Blessings to her & her beautiful children wherever they may be today! I 🙏🏾♥️
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 💯
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
This was a encouraging video, I'm going through a similar situation with my 4 sons, thank you for sharing your message.
She is one brave woman. God bless her and her beautiful children! I hope with all my heart things improve for them.
wonderful strong mommy !! may god bless her and those children ! I hope things get better !
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 ".
Beautiful family and this mother has an amazing ability to remain positive.
Wow! Amazing woman. And beautiful children - hope all ends with them finding a permanent home.
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 $$$.
this woman is so strong God Bless
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.
Wherever you are, you seem like such a positive and kind person. I hope you're doing well. You and your children are beautiful.
Best Wishes to this family! Cant judge her! She has beautiful kids!
AW! Her and her children are so beautiful! ^_^...I'm very glad they're happy! _*_^_**^*
An amazing, beautiful soul right there. She deserves a decent home for her family. Inspirational.
I hope they're doing better & in a nice comfy home. Her kids are beautiful she is too ❤️❤️♥️
she is strong and beautiful!
Lady may the Gods bless your courage. i wish you the best, I've done it before
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
She’s a good mom. I can’t say the same for her children’s father. If he really cared for his children, he would of taken them until their mother got on her feet, git a place and job, then return their children to her when she got stable. What a guy.
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.
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..
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❤❤❤❤
You are a wonderful mother and woman. A man would be lucky to have such a strong positive like you.
children are a blessing but i am so leaning towards not having any. stop following men around and depending on men to take care of you, even if it is the father of your children/husband. have plan before you have kids and stop just having them. we all know you didn't have them alone bu we all know who ends up with the responsibility. i bet their father isn't living in a van. probably in a cozy bed with some woman taking care of him. sad but probably the truth. you and your kids are in my prayers.
Stop having them are you for real’s....You could have use some kinder words Kelly....did you ever think stop to think that maybe one of those children of hers might make one of the greatest difference in this world.. Look at her children their beautiful...they might be struggling right now...but its not for ever with God blessing and good people out there she will get up on her feet....this woman in not ghetto it looks like something went wrong in her marriage and now she is struggling alone without a having the father around to help. We shouldn’t pass judgment so easy it could happen to anyone of us.
Love2TravelAway Thank you for your thoughts, but I am just expressing my opinion. I did not get rude or say anything out of line: nor did I judge her. You have your view and I have mines. I do not expect everyone to feel the same way I do, and you should not expect the same.
That is the most reasonable thing I've read today Miss Kelly. Good talk!
