It upsets me when folks say you should have saved for retirement. I had a job but never thought I’d end up divorced or widowed with no benefits and on disability at 58. Omg people don’t know everyone’s story.
So true. My heart goes out to the folks on disability,can’t work at all and the women who stayed at home with kids or perhaps worked part time jobs and ended up divorced. Now they’re stuck with the limited Social Security for their senior years. Just terrible.
My rent has literally doubled in less than 10 years. My appliances in my apartment barely work (they're 30 years old, give or take), there are dead plants, bushes and muddy spots from dead grass. It's absolutely grim. So many property owners/investors that don't reinvest their profits back into the properties or tenants. It is evil.
She’s 68 and her son is 50, so she was 18 when he was born. I also had a young mother. When I was 10 she had my younger brother. She was a better mother to him than she had been to me. I now realize that it had nothing to do with me, it was her being so young. Unless your parent really abused you, it’s time to grow up and forgive our parents.
She needs to call the health department and HUD and report them. Sewage backup is a serious health hazard. The federal government will light a fire under the management ass.
@@virgilhilts3924 My complex has had problems with people flushing personal wipes in the toilet and grease down the kitchen drains. The sewage plants have the same problems. We get emails often enough reminding of the problems of doing both but people ignore. Thank God I'm on the second floor. I think it happens a lot of places but the place in the vid seems to a serious problem with it.
@@virgilhilts3924 Landlord business is tough. It amazes me that so many landlords think it's going to be all sunshine and roses and just sit back and collect a check. You are renting to people! People do terrible things. Tenants don't care about your problems. I mean if you can't handle it get out of the rental business.
Especially on social security. It shows how greedy the system has gotten. If you make more than $1200 you can live in a nicer place ur when you make less they force you to live in terrible apartments
That apartment place should be ashamed. They know they are taking advantage of those who can’t just pick up and move because of their housing allowances. No one deserves to live like that with the sewer and bug issues. I appreciate how thoughtful Big Super is. It is so lovely how he shares their stories and they chat like they do. It shows you also how much good neighbors count and matter.
I’m ready to call the adult services on this one. I am so sorry she’s going through this. I have Sec 8 and there’s no way that this should be going on. I lived in a complex that was similar and we had to call so many phone numbers to get things done they can lose their Sec 8 or HUD contracts if they don’t get this together. Bless her heart and thank you super for the great interviews. You have the biggest heart.
This kind of thing was going on in my area and the mayor got really mad and enforced the existing laws. Apartment buildings were condemned and the people moved out to other apts. Landlords are complaining but they're fixing stuff.
I noticed that too. She also has a pretty good handle on what she is, and that she needs to let some things go. Such a positive attitude and disposition as well. God bless her.
Big Supa You DA MAN! Thank you for shining the light! Shame on this complex and policing that allows this to happen to anyone let alone Seniors. The age population has grown but affordable housing has not.
What a sweetheart she is. She could be angry and bitter but she is not. She could act like a victim with her anxiety but she does not. I love her for that. Thank god I saved for retirement and the only reason I did is because my mom told me to. I also have a pension from 2 different companies I have worked for and I am still saving. The word on the street is all of it will be wiped out by the greatest recession on record so all that effort of saving may only lead me right to poverty. My Lord I pray that does not happen.
He may not be in the position to help her like he'd like too. It's a blessing that he's in her life at all, as many children abandon their parents for their own interests.
She said he only throws out what she allows. There's a woman on UA-cam who cleans hoarders houses for free only for 2 days a week and she asks them how did they get there and why hasn't anyone ever tried to help and they say "They do but it comes back or I won't let them because I'm afraid to let go. I felt bad for them after learning more about why they hoard. It's sad when some get their houses clean and they do it all over again.
You truly have a way with everyone and not all can make people comfortable to open up about their lives so easily and show what they are truly going through. She is lovely. I'm so sorry to see her and other seniors being taken advantage of concerning a clean safe home.
Someone needs to contact local news stations when that sewage problem happens again and put the management on blast! I bet they'd get it fixed in a hurry then!
She really seems to have a good attitude despite the raw sewage and bug problems. She really needs help getting organized too. Just watching the walk through had my anxiety and OCD kick started with all the clutter and disorder, but she seems relatively content so that's good. Management really needs to fix the sewage though- that poses so many health hazards
I was thinking the same thing, especially at her age. With all that clutter, she’s more likely to fall. She said her son is helping her clean, I hope he really is.
I don't like clutter either..i throw out stuff all the time I am an minimalist..the less the better .we give all our, old clothes, to charity 3 times a year, I even have the junk man come and they take away everything we don't use .the less the better,. Clutter makes me nervous,,ugh,,,

@@deborahcaldwell9775 Right. The Social Security increase was 8.7%. The increase started in January/2023. Was just a little confused because it's usually a third of ones income - or the HOME program they were talking about maybe it's 30% of the rent - and that does include utilities. The market rent - $1400.00 does seem high.
@@deborahcaldwell9775ou’ll never get ahead on SS we got an increase yet Medicare has gone from $132 to $170 then this landlord raises the rent a hundred bucks what an asshole, greed. She’s a bit of a hoarder from the looks of her things. Son will help her clean then she’ll fill it back up…
@@patriciagriffith7402There are a few threads it looks like besides HUD and the Housing Authority overseeing the section 8 voucher - if she has a section 8 voucher or if she is just operating under that Home - she mentioned a program I don't know if she said Home - Home something.

Thank you Mrs. Deborah. God bless you. Glad her assistance dog is helping with Mrs. Deborah's anxiety. I really hope the apartment complex fixes the sewage from coming into her apartment. I can't imagine having to clean raw sewage up that many times each year. That's not acceptable. Thank you Big Super Living in Arizona!
That’s HUD. You have to go through recertification every year. 6 months bank statements, all medical and prescription costs/bills for the year. As soon as there’s a social security cost of living the rent gets jacked up. I’m in. HUD low income senior building. We fight roaches, bedbugs (which I do a lot of myself) and rats. Elevators out of order, the building is never cleaned. Yes HUD inspects once a year, but there’s a lot they don’t see. Last year they raised my rent another $125. I’m dreading this year. The problem with going through reaching out because of problems is HUD can end up ending the contract. Then you’ve got a lot of disabled and seniors with nowhere to go. These landlords know we can’t afford market rate rent.
@@mschief-central4940 absolutely disgusting, and it's not right they look at your bank statements. What happened to security, privacy, and respect? There is none, they just want to farm you until you're a dead husk and farm the life out of the next people!
I wouldn't be surprised if someone saw this video and tried to get rid of her. She should never have to live in an overpriced apartment that is endangering her health. The health dept should be stepping in to help. No one should live like that. She probably worked her entire life just to have to suffer through the living conditions she had now.
Ya that's too bad....I worked in senior living and had to leave because of all the screwed up things that happen that no one ever finds out about. Healthcare is worse than the military at covering stuff up.
When my wife was in bad shape in the hospital, her intensive care room was over 83-degrees one day. I called the maintenance dept. I said I'd be talking to the hospital administrator the next day if the problem wasn't solved immediately. The temperature dropped within 15-minutes. The intensive care nurse said she had called repeatedly and they did nothing. I was there 58 days in a row as my wife's advocate. Another day, all the RN's in a recovery area were at lunch when my wife's blood sugar dropped to 25. A nurse's aid went running down the hall to get help! I have plenty of other anecdotes about this "world class" facility.
Big Super another great video. I relate to her. I lived the last 2 years only leaving the apartment for appointments. Depression, anxiety. I just moved in with my son and his family. Looking forward to the future now.
She's such a brilliant young lady with a beautiful spirit. I'm so sorry to see her living like this. The management needs to move her to another unit. she's living in sewage, feces, and filth. Her son needs to talk to management about this. Something needs to be done stat. Praying for her 🙏🙌
I agree! They need to move her asap! They manage nothing but getting away with not fixing and doing illegal stuff when they see vulnerable tenants who don't realize they have a voice.
Super thank you for exposing these complexes. Bringing the people's stories to your platform. My heat goes out to her and the rest of the tenants . Housing department in AZ don't care it seems. I see so many Violations and Fines.
The sewage really needs to be addressed, can cause a lot of health issues long term, especially when it's right there in a common area where children play. You really are/were so kind to her. Often our way of life/the way we live is a reflection of our mental health. She seems like a nice lady. I loved that she enjoys wanting to be around/live around all people.
I am so blessed to have a home. all praises to the Most High. I was considering selling to my daughter and living in a Sr. facility then I considered the cost of rents, my meager income and reconsidered. I would have to get a job to survive. I have no roaches or mice. My neighbor just a few days ago rented some traps and caught the 3 ferrol cats in the neighborhood and disposed of them. I have a garden too. I'm staying put. My daughter will inherit after I am gone. Wow and yes, this is shocking. I am grateful for the little I have. Big Super you are awesome. I'm still trying to find the video regarding the cattle farmer so I can purchase some bulk beef. Thanks again
@@bs4real I’m sure the word disposing here is not meant for killing otherwise she would’ve said it they probably dropped them at different neighborhoods or area they do that a lot
Black mold is TOXIC!! Where da hell are the HUD inspectors? This amount of clutter should NEVER be tolerated! I've lived in HUD apt. & I'm VERY CLEAN, but I got written up 4 one neat stack of boxes of nic-nac's etc.!! I'm a disabled senior now living in a VAN, in need of major repairs that I can't afford, have no one to help.
Lovely lady. Yes they need to be reported for their lack of fixing that sewer problem. Also a written statement that there will be no retaliation to anyone who need to have things taken care of.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ sweet lady .they need to fix that sewage ..how disgusting . Sending hugs to the lady and her doggy ...i like her . Thank you so much for the great interview...FIX THAT SEWAGE..NOW .
Aww I am so very sorry about how Mrs. Deborah has to live in such AZ. SHE SEEMS TO be such a sweetheart ,she is so polite and she talk with respect, I could talk to her everyday. About her life and never get bore with her .I am so glad that she have to sweet company pets. And she does have a son ,so that's a blessing.she has family. . I appreciate her courage may she .have peace in her life ,filled with many added blessings.i love you Mrs. Deborah.
I love your videos- i just found your channel and ive seen people do similar videos like this but some of them rub me the wrong way because even though they try to hide it - they seem to be kinda judgmental to me and imho are exploiting the poor for views. But you seem genuine and kind and sincere to me and not at all judgemental and im glad you are bringing attention to the social issues. This shouldnt be how things are in america.
Thank you Big Super it's so good to see that you're still on top of it you are awesome keep up the good work you are appreciated, yes my heart goes out to this woman no one should have to live like that I've been there in a rental house where the sewer backed up into both bathrooms the shower floor and the bath tub, and there was no accountability.
Super, would you please send your photos to the house in authority for this lady? Somebody else needs to help her with her hoarding problem, but it's not safe for her to be in that apartment with all that feces, and with all the roaches they carry diseases and somebody needs to get on that apartment complex to do those repairs, so would you please send those pictures in for all of us who watch you? I am a disabled senior, and I sure would not want to live like that and she sounds like the sweetest lady I mean she doesn't deserve this. Thank you.
That place needs to be reported to Public Health! All the furniture affected should be replaced by the owners of the Condo Corp as the sewage is coming from the common element! Someone needs to help her as this can affect her health with regards to bacteria, mold etc.
Well, she was well spoken 19:5620:01 and gracious to bring you in to her home. It’s astonishing what people will put up with. I was in a subsidized housing building that was quite beautiful but not well kept kept for 4 1/2 years and my neighbors were astonished at how bold I was when Atrocities like that happened. I just wouldn’t put up with it and then got lucky and now live in a middle-class home . Age segregation is terrible and I’m glad for her that she knows that.
I have watched several of your videos and you have an amazing gift for knowing how to talk to and connect with people. I'm in AZ, born and raised. It's always interesting to see the places you go bcuz many of the places most people wouldn't even stop at to get gas...you go to some rough and scary parts! Much love
Thank you, Debra! Love at the end how you said it really is a nice neighborhood especially when you get a little ways away from here. Sorry to hear you’re dealing with the tide from the plumbing. That’s crazy. As a fisherman, I would check the tide charts to know when to go fishing, and never in my life would I have thought somebody would’ve said there was a tide line in their home from waste water. Other than those that have been through natural disasters when they get flooding. Glad to hear you’ve got a loving, caring son. What a nice guy to get you one of those mattresses which come vacuum sealed. Can tell your two pups are your best friends. Liked how you said we sit down and have a Sprite. Including your two dogs in that. Hopefully they’re still just drinking water. ❤
My husband and i are elderly, retired and disabled. We both worked hard all of lives, sometimes two jobs at a time. We saved our money. Now we're being taxed to death on our social security and 401ks. We live in a very old mobile home, yet we pay high property taxes. Its nuts!! The golden years can kiss my ass!!!
She doesn't deserve to live with sewage coming into her home... That is illegal in government housing... Everything is supposed to be in perfect working order. If she could find the right over-heads to contact, she could probably get it resolved.
I am so proud, and amazed with her growth, and what she has achieved.....to see her go out and walk around the complex...tells you that she is more comfortable living there, than she was living in her home....years ago. Most people like her can not even go outside at all. She must of been determined to push herself. They really need to run/dig that piping out and change the system for that complex because it is clearly not able to handle that capacity for sewage. I don't comment on your channel because you do such an excellent job.....but I do watch. TY
I'm divorced and 59. I was a stay at home mom so no retirement. I live on part of my ex pension n I have disabilities n get SSI.. it's a fixed income. The govt is eliminating elders , they don't want anyone collecting social security. Soon I think it will be gone. Getting old is not what it used to be. It's sad really
She is a smart lady.This guy really got her to open up about her situation and she is so articulate that by the end of the interview, I felt I really got to know her and her (positive) attitude in a created situation that should never exist! This Country can do better. When LBJ envisioned the Great Society and the idea of subsidized housing came to exist THIS is so below the standards he imagined people could live with.I managed subsidized housing for many years in the NYC area. I have seen some nasty stuff but never to this level. I understand that the hoarding doesn't help this situation but I have seen hoarders before. Some of that problem it was necessary to call government agencies and and insist on rectifying those situations. I had lists of organizations that I called to provide remediation. Not an easy thing for the resident. This building is just not built correctly to be maintained.. The sewerage problem was there when the buildings were put up. That is due to lack of proper development regulations or non compliance with code being over-looked.... add the word "graft" right there!. A building that is not habitable should not be rented up to begin with. I was crying by the end of this video.
Good morning Super, been watching your yt for about 3 months.....Thank you for what you do. You have a kind & Beautiful heart!! I found you...been looking to move down to Az....Im on sec 8 in Wis....disabled & senior...winters are getting harder here....I have a camper..I was looking @ Quartersize....just need electric.....Open to suggestions...Thank you & God Bless you!!!
I don't know if abuse or stress, and anxiety go together because I have not researched it. But, I remember not being able to drive my car in the dark. I don't know what was wrong with me. It was the strongest fear that was just crushing me. I remember visiting my family, and my brother wanted some gloves....some driving gloves. His girlfriend, the kids and I drove to visit my sister. Later, we stopped at the mall to look for some leather gloves. I had forgot about the time. When we came out of that mall....it was dark. I didn't want anyone to know I was freaking out, especially since I drove.....and the kids was with us. All I kept thinking was I have to get these kids home. I was at a mall I wasn't familiar with, in the dark....in a parking lot I didn't know. Tons of cars. Mind you I was three hours away from home. I was praying! When I made it through the parking lot, and to the highway....I was still panicking inside. We made it back to her house, and I stayed the night. Left in the morning, so I could drive comfortably. I was so thrilled, and impressed that I made it through that. I went to work, and told HR to put me on the schedule for any shift. 😂😂 April was so good to me. She knew I could drive in the dark. Sometimes we are put in situations that we have to face our fears, and push ourselves. God bless you for showing the other side of living for a number of people. Hope all is well with your new move/home and family. Your daughter is so beautiful. Your wife does a beautiful job with her hair. God Bless You, and Keep You!
Hey Big Super what a nice lady praying for her they really need to clear that water sewage up it has to smell bad thanks again for another awesome video
I love this lady's personality... Such a shame that in this country everything has gotten so... I don't even know what to call it so many people just don't care and so many people are corrupt and greedy and then there's people who just have a rough life and end up living this way I know I'm headed probably for something like that or worse due to inflation and I've never been able to keep a job for very long because of various reasons a lot of them out of my control so many people's lives do not go perfect where it all lines up and you end up having money when you get older
Hi bruh you havent seen south africa YET. Here our seniors and younger people deal with loadshedding (zero ELECTRICITY) for some places for 4 hours to 8 or even more. Then our roads are fucked whe used do drive on tbe left side of the road now we drive n whats left of the roads. Then we have the sewage situation . Our state hospitals are screwed oi.

Under this president and administration you can’t save for shit because of inflation 😡 it’s not her fault
Very true I can definitely agree and truth be told, the way things are going, we're all one step away...
No one plans, to be disabled, but here I am. Housing is affordable, but the LL, are not made to keep the property up. And, that's not right.
Imagine collecting all these people's rent and they still ain't fixing the sewage problem. Purely evil😫😔

As soon as there’s a social security cost of living the rent gets jacked up. I’m in. HUD low income senior building. We fight roaches, bedbugs (which I do a lot of myself) and rats. Elevators out of order, the building is never cleaned. Yes HUD inspects once a year, but there’s a lot they don’t see. Last year they raised my rent another $125. I’m dreading this year.
The problem with going through reaching out because of problems is HUD can end up ending the contract. Then you’ve got a lot of disabled and seniors with nowhere to go. These landlords know we can’t afford market rate rent.
@@mschief-central4940 absolutely disgusting, and it's not right they look at your bank statements. What happened to security, privacy, and respect?
There is none, they just want to farm you until you're a dead husk and farm the life out of the next people!
I have an apt for elderly and pay 350.
@@mschief-central4940 by the way rents are rising, HUD will end up costing the same as the regular rent smh
Great interview 👍 No one should have to live like that Arizona is expensive Very nice lady
I wouldn't be surprised if someone saw this video and tried to get rid of her. She should never have to live in an overpriced apartment that is endangering her health. The health dept should be stepping in to help. No one should live like that. She probably worked her entire life just to have to suffer through the living conditions she had now.
Ya that's too bad....I worked in senior living and had to leave because of all the screwed up things that happen that no one ever finds out about. Healthcare is worse than the military at covering stuff up.
Yes they are!!! I was a PCA for 8 years, I’ve seen things I still can’t get over years later..
When my wife was in bad shape in the hospital, her intensive care room was over 83-degrees one day. I called the maintenance dept. I said I'd be talking to the hospital administrator the next day if the problem wasn't solved immediately. The temperature dropped within 15-minutes. The intensive care nurse said she had called repeatedly and they did nothing. I was there 58 days in a row as my wife's advocate. Another day, all the RN's in a recovery area were at lunch when my wife's blood sugar dropped to 25. A nurse's aid went running down the hall to get help! I have plenty of other anecdotes about this "world class" facility.
Big Super another great video. I relate to her. I lived the last 2 years only leaving the apartment for appointments. Depression, anxiety.
I just moved in with my son and his family. Looking forward to the future now.
I just love how you treat people. You are so kind and make them feel at ease.
She's such a brilliant young lady with a beautiful spirit. I'm so sorry to see her living like this. The management needs to move her to another unit. she's living in sewage, feces, and filth. Her son needs to talk to management about this. Something needs to be done stat. Praying for her 🙏🙌
I agree! They need to move her asap! They manage nothing but getting away with not fixing and doing illegal stuff when they see vulnerable tenants who don't realize they have a voice.
She said she don’t want to move
I bet her family don't care about where she lives
Super thank you for exposing these complexes. Bringing the people's stories to your platform. My heat goes out to her and the rest of the tenants . Housing department in AZ don't care it seems. I see so many Violations and Fines.
Such a sweet lady. I wish she could get into a better place.
BigSuper I'm scared to get old,they think old people don't deserve a decent place to live.
What a nightmare with that sewage issue😱
Keep ‘em coming Big Super🔥🔥💯
Keep saving and investing for your old age.
He makes people comfortable so they open up to him.
The sewage really needs to be addressed, can cause a lot of health issues long term, especially when it's right there in a common area where children play.
You really are/were so kind to her. Often our way of life/the way we live is a reflection of our mental health.
She seems like a nice lady. I loved that she enjoys wanting to be around/live around all people.
capitalism keeps its dogs hungry so they keep fighting for their next meal
I am so blessed to have a home. all praises to the Most High. I was considering selling to my daughter and living in a Sr. facility then I considered the cost of rents, my meager income and reconsidered. I would have to get a job to survive. I have no roaches or mice. My neighbor just a few days ago rented some traps and caught the 3 ferrol cats in the neighborhood and disposed of them. I have a garden too. I'm staying put. My daughter will inherit after I am gone. Wow and yes, this is shocking. I am grateful for the little I have. Big Super you are awesome. I'm still trying to find the video regarding the cattle farmer so I can purchase some bulk beef. Thanks again
'Disposed'of cats???wtf?
Cats keep vermin in check. Best is to trap, neuter, and release.
Those cats saved you from the mice and rats....YOU WILL GET CATCH BACK FROM THEIR GHOSTS
@@bs4real I’m sure the word disposing here is not meant for killing otherwise she would’ve said it they probably dropped them at different neighborhoods or area they do that a lot
We're the feral cats KILLED?! "Disposed of" implies you think of these cats as waste/garbage. Is that the case?
Black mold is TOXIC!! Where da hell are the HUD inspectors? This amount of clutter should NEVER be tolerated! I've lived in HUD apt. & I'm VERY CLEAN, but I got written up 4 one neat stack of boxes of nic-nac's etc.!! I'm a disabled senior now living in a VAN, in need of major repairs that I can't afford, have no one to help.
I was thinking the same thing. It's time to clear the clutter. Way too easy for mice.
Looks like a few people will be making calls to different authorities. Trying to get the name of these apartments.👍Thank you again.
He scores 💯 in therapeutic communication. He listens and provides feedback to the one sharing their story. Love your interviews🙌
50 this year! Wow 😮 you fly and what a lovely lady ..god bless her and her pets❤
Lovely lady. Yes they need to be reported for their lack of fixing that sewer problem. Also a written statement that there will be no retaliation to anyone who need to have things taken care of.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ sweet lady .they need to fix that sewage ..how disgusting . Sending hugs to the lady and her doggy ...i like her . Thank you so much for the great interview...FIX THAT SEWAGE..NOW .
Interesting to hear the comment about arthritis being better in a warm dry climate!
I love the interaction videos with the people keep them coming thanks big super
Bless her heart ❤
you are soo kind and respectful to others...bless you for your beautiful soul
No one should have to live with roaches and raw sewage for 30% of their income, how can this happen 😞
Aww I am so very sorry about how Mrs. Deborah has to live in such AZ. SHE SEEMS TO be such a sweetheart ,she is so polite and she talk with respect, I could talk to her everyday. About her life and never get bore with her .I am so glad that she have to sweet company pets. And she does have a son ,so that's a blessing.she has family. . I appreciate her courage may she .have peace in her life ,filled with many added blessings.i love you Mrs. Deborah.
I love how you’re able to really connect to the people you interact with
Such a sweet woman. When she remembered the word "caulk" my heart melted
I love your videos- i just found your channel and ive seen people do similar videos like this but some of them rub me the wrong way because even though they try to hide it - they seem to be kinda judgmental to me and imho are exploiting the poor for views. But you seem genuine and kind and sincere to me and not at all judgemental and im glad you are bringing attention to the social issues. This shouldnt be how things are in america.
Thank you Big Super it's so good to see that you're still on top of it you
are awesome keep up the good work
you are appreciated, yes my heart goes out to this woman no one should have to live like that I've been
there in a rental house where the sewer backed up into both bathrooms the shower floor and the
bath tub, and there was no accountability.
Super, would you please send your photos to the house in authority for this lady? Somebody else needs to help her with her hoarding problem, but it's not safe for her to be in that apartment with all that feces, and with all the roaches they carry diseases and somebody needs to get on that apartment complex to do those repairs, so would you please send those pictures in for all of us who watch you? I am a disabled senior, and I sure would not want to live like that and she sounds like the sweetest lady I mean she doesn't deserve this. Thank you.
That place needs to be reported to Public Health! All the furniture affected should be replaced by the owners of the Condo Corp as the sewage is coming from the common element! Someone needs to help her as this can affect her health with regards to bacteria, mold etc.
Well, she was well spoken 19:56 20:01 and gracious to bring you in to her home. It’s astonishing what people will put up with. I was in a subsidized housing building that was quite beautiful but not well kept kept for 4 1/2 years and my neighbors were astonished at how bold I was when Atrocities like that happened. I just wouldn’t put up with it and then got lucky and now live in a middle-class home
. Age segregation is terrible and I’m glad for her that she knows that.
Thanks Super for sharing 😊
I have watched several of your videos and you have an amazing gift for knowing how to talk to and connect with people. I'm in AZ, born and raised. It's always interesting to see the places you go bcuz many of the places most people wouldn't even stop at to get gas...you go to some rough and scary parts! Much love
Thank you, Debra! Love at the end how you said it really is a nice neighborhood especially when you get a little ways away from here. Sorry to hear you’re dealing with the tide from the plumbing. That’s crazy. As a fisherman, I would check the tide charts to know when to go fishing, and never in my life would I have thought somebody would’ve said there was a tide line in their home from waste water.
Other than those that have been through natural disasters when they get flooding. Glad to hear you’ve got a loving, caring son. What a nice guy to get you one of those mattresses which come vacuum sealed. Can tell your two pups are your best friends. Liked how you said we sit down and have a Sprite. Including your two dogs in that. Hopefully they’re still just drinking water. ❤
I REALLY enjoy Miss Debra! She's awesome. Thank you for visiting her and I hope she continues to live a blessed life with her doggies for a long time.
My husband and i are elderly, retired and disabled. We both worked hard all of lives, sometimes two jobs at a time. We saved our money. Now we're being taxed to death on our social security and 401ks. We live in a very old mobile home, yet we pay high property taxes. Its nuts!! The golden years can kiss my ass!!!
She doesn't deserve to live with sewage coming into her home... That is illegal in government housing... Everything is supposed to be in perfect working order. If she could find the right over-heads to contact, she could probably get it resolved.
happy shes ok i understand panic issues!
I am so proud, and amazed with her growth, and what she has achieved.....to see her go out and walk around the complex...tells you that she is more comfortable living there, than she was living in her home....years ago. Most people like her can not even go outside at all. She must of been determined to push herself. They really need to run/dig that piping out and change the system for that complex because it is clearly not able to handle that capacity for sewage. I don't comment on your channel because you do such an excellent job.....but I do watch. TY
God Bless this 68yr old lady always !
- I just watched three videos of yours
and now I'm a subscriber.
/Lisbeth from Sweden 🇸🇪
Beautiful lady and so fun to hear her tell her story. ❤️ ty for sharing.
She could get free wireless through Cox.
For every TOMORROW that we dream of, there is SOMEONE TODAY sweating for it
Big super you are a lovely man.
Big Super is always so respectful.
I'm divorced and 59. I was a stay at home mom so no retirement. I live on part of my ex pension n I have disabilities n get SSI.. it's a fixed income. The govt is eliminating elders , they don't want anyone collecting social security. Soon I think it will be gone. Getting old is not what it used to be. It's sad really
Thank you for this video.
She is a very smart honest lady. A sweetheart
She looks at you with smiles such a lovely lady
poor lady living in sewage & yappy companion dogs no wonder she & her doggies are stressed with added anxiety. bless her hope she gets help.
Whew…I need her to clean😢
She is a smart lady.This guy really got her to open up about her situation and she is so articulate that by the end of the interview, I felt I really got to know her and her (positive) attitude in a created situation that should never exist! This Country can do better. When LBJ envisioned the Great Society and the idea of subsidized housing came to exist THIS is so below the standards he imagined people could live with.I managed subsidized housing for many years in the NYC area. I have seen some nasty stuff but never to this level. I understand that the hoarding doesn't help this situation but I have seen hoarders before. Some of that problem it was necessary to call government agencies and and insist on rectifying those situations. I had lists of organizations that I called to provide remediation. Not an easy thing for the resident. This building is just not built correctly to be maintained.. The sewerage problem was there when the buildings were put up. That is due to lack of proper development regulations or non compliance with code being over-looked.... add the word "graft" right there!. A building that is not habitable should not be rented up to begin with.
I was crying by the end of this video.
EXCELLENT INTERVIEW, BIG SUP!
Im from Australia love watching this show
Blessings to you Super!!..💕 this channel "R0cks" hands down!!💪👑✔️💯I used to have a friend that lived there....😔
Good morning Super, been watching your yt for about 3 months.....Thank you for what you do. You have a kind & Beautiful heart!! I found you...been looking to move down to Az....Im on sec 8 in Wis....disabled & senior...winters are getting harder here....I have a camper..I was looking @ Quartersize....just need electric.....Open to suggestions...Thank you & God Bless you!!!
She is at risk for health issues with that sewer issue and that reality is no secret, this is shameful that the
management isn't proactive.
THAT SUNSHINE LOOKING G ☀️☀️D...💯BIG SUPER 💯
nice your so kind to all the people,truly!
I don't know if abuse or stress, and anxiety go together because I have not researched it. But, I remember not being able to drive my car in the dark. I don't know what was wrong with me. It was the strongest fear that was just crushing me. I remember visiting my family, and my brother wanted some gloves....some driving gloves. His girlfriend, the kids and I drove to visit my sister. Later, we stopped at the mall to look for some leather gloves. I had forgot about the time. When we came out of that mall....it was dark. I didn't want anyone to know I was freaking out, especially since I drove.....and the kids was with us. All I kept thinking was I have to get these kids home. I was at a mall I wasn't familiar with, in the dark....in a parking lot I didn't know. Tons of cars. Mind you I was three hours away from home. I was praying! When I made it through the parking lot, and to the highway....I was still panicking inside. We made it back to her house, and I stayed the night. Left in the morning, so I could drive comfortably. I was so thrilled, and impressed that I made it through that. I went to work, and told HR to put me on the schedule for any shift. 😂😂 April was so good to me. She knew I could drive in the dark. Sometimes we are put in situations that we have to face our fears, and push ourselves. God bless you for showing the other side of living for a number of people. Hope all is well with your new move/home and family. Your daughter is so beautiful. Your wife does a beautiful job with her hair. God Bless You, and Keep You!
The Health dept find that out they would shut them down.. If that was my mom or friend i would get her and take care. This is Shameful
Hey Big Super what a nice lady praying for her they really need to clear that water sewage up it has to smell bad thanks again for another awesome video
Hey súper great channel my friend. You seem like a good dude and a great interviewer with people skills
I love this lady's personality... Such a shame that in this country everything has gotten so... I don't even know what to call it so many people just don't care and so many people are corrupt and greedy and then there's people who just have a rough life and end up living this way I know I'm headed probably for something like that or worse due to inflation and I've never been able to keep a job for very long because of various reasons a lot of them out of my control so many people's lives do not go perfect where it all lines up and you end up having money when you get older
I need low income housing, and i have to say, you make me want to move to Arizona just to hang out with you!!!! What a great job you do
Them washer are actually cheap. There 4.50 to wash here
oh my !! Prayers
Your awesome big super thank you..great channel
I love going to cemeteries and looking at the graves. I wouldn't go in at night either..to dangerous.. She is a sweet lady and has a nice smile.
Hi bruh you havent seen south africa YET. Here our seniors and younger people deal with loadshedding (zero ELECTRICITY) for some places for 4 hours to 8 or even more. Then our roads are fucked whe used do drive on tbe left side of the road now we drive n whats left of the roads. Then we have the sewage situation . Our state hospitals are screwed oi.
