💔 Heartbreaking and INSPIRING Story of Disabled Homeless Mom

  • Cori is a homeless single mom living in a Los Angeles 90-day emergency shelter with her daughter. Cori's 90 days in up on 3/28 is just two days from now. Cori is disabled and cannot work. She received a little over $700 in disability income, but that is not enough to pay for rent and basic needs.
    The 90-day rule is a stupid rule driven by government contracts. Who gets their life together in 90 days? While it's frowned upon, family shelters can extend Cori's stay, which is the best-case scenario. It's shocking that the service provider has yet to find Cori housing or would even consider kicking this young mom outside, but I have seen it happen. No one should be homeless, especially young children.
    Cori reached out to me and asked if I would interview her. Cori sent a link to this video • Unhoused Artists of Lo... . Watching her story moved me, but meeting Cori and her daughter Cordelia was far beyond what I expected.
    Cori was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at age 3. She has lived a tough life. At one point in this interview, I had to change the topic, or I would have cried; her story is so heartbreaking.
    Cori's an inspiration. She's been in the homeless shelter system in multiple states, trying to find support. It's mind-blowing that a young mother has to move from state to state to hopefully get the help she needs only to find a broken, homeless services system.
    Cori is a talented artist and businesswoman, even against all the challenges that a homeless single mom faces daily. She started drawing on cardboard selling her art to tourists. Cory now steps up a little popup shop on the sidewalk to sell her art and some jewelry that was given to her.
    Homelessness is a growing, national crisis. It should be addressed in Washington. Bottom line: Housing is the solution. We need more resources to get folks into housing. Demand action. With your help, we can end homelessness.

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

I’m homeless, live in my car with my daughter who has a disability according to the state of Georgia. I am DAMN proud! Obviously there is more to the story.

Such a weird conclusion to me. And I would be proud of my daughter! It’s not about your situation, it’s about what you’re doing with it! As someone who has worked with children on the spectrum and know first hand how hard it is, this young woman is navigating with a good head on her shoulders! This is PART of her story not the end!

My LTR is from Europe and told me that. You know what I said??? "What rights??? The right to get arrested??? That means that any family with kids who loses their home would end up going to jail and have their kids put in Foster care!!! Way to go !!! IT'S TIME that we, the people stood up to the politicians who make the rules!!! Sorry but enough is enough. HOW COME THE UNITED STATES has MONEY for wars but totally ignores the homeless, the hungry; our veterans who served this country but are homeless and are in wheelchairs because they lost their legs fighting wars the politicians created!!! People they are taking mo ey and lining their own pockets. They use the Medicare system to victimize old people by telling them they have diseases when they don,'t. WE NEED TO STAND UP AS A PEOPLE and make these politicians accountable to us for why they do nothing about the working , disabled, people on social security. Go on U Tube and type in "HOMELESS in San Francisco" See how bad it is there. People we are turning into a 3rd world country. Even the United Nations asked Washington DC why America was turning into one big slum. This is happening in other countries like Italy, Sweden and Germany ,etc. Of all people the Muslim immigrants in Sweden have taken pity on the homeless in Stockholm, Sweden and now serve meals to the homeless there. Amsterdam and Venice are 2 other cities people x annot afford a place to live. PLEASE petition the United Nations to send Every country funds and aid.

      Yes Kimiko Sumi. But how is she to get there. In one way it would make things worse. I came from California. I live in Tennessee. She is in Georgia. How would she get a place to live???? California rents are thousands of dollars. Where she lives, rents can be under $900 a,month. Besides, to get there she would need a bus ticket or plane ticket. I doubt she has the money for that

    • @patriciamartin6756

      I left California. Our rent was $1500 a,month for 1 room. In Tennessee, I had a 3 bedroom brick house for $125.00. There wasn't much to do out in the country but we had a roof over our heads

      I still say she can go for an Associates Degree in Graphic Art. I applied to the school and was accepted the first day. It was easy to qualify if you showed any aptitude for art at all. The school shoes you how to combine your art skills with the computer. The first week in school I received over $3500 in overage money from my grants and loans and used that to pay rent and buy art supplies. I got a check like that every three months That's what she needs to do

Thank God she was gifted with her art that gives her purpose and a bit of money, but she should be in a house with her baby. Much love and prayers to these two, I’m sure she is smart enough to make it through. She will manage. They both will. It is so unfair, but they will make it. I’m happy to send them some small donation, because you made it possible. I’m so thankful for what you do with this channel, and giving the invisible people of society a voice.

      If she has SSDI she could get a job. And also priority housing because she has a disability and she has a baby. The shelters she is going to are not doing their jobs. This woman needs supervision, and guidance daily.
      Without the supervision to ensure daily stability she could be sabotaging herself. Meaning she presents well in this moment, but off camera in her everyday life she may not be functioning this "together". She may have had support, but when you present well, without the true cognitive abilities to carry out executive functions you truly become your own barrier every step of the way. Some people are disabled, but not disabled enough for continuous support... But they also aren't functioning well enough to sustain stability. It's an awful position to be in.

      Gotta love policy and broken systems. I interned at a shelter for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors last year, and shelter policy was you could only stay 90 days, but have the option for an additional 120 days if you meet criteria. I was counseling a client that just had a newborn baby, and was tasked with being the one to tell her they were kicking her and her 3 week old baby out since she also wasn't eligible for an additional 120 days-- again because of policies-- not attending individual/group counseling, case management, completing chores, attending meetings/completing chores etc. Her mental health was so bad and she fled from an ex in another state who tried to strangle her I don't blame her for not being able to keep up with all of the policies. Oh and there were about 4 or 5 empty rooms, one of which she could have stayed in if it weren't for the shelter policies. Thankfully she ended up connecting with one of her cousins and found a place.

We need to do something about the homeless but I’m not sure what the answer is. Each homeless person’s story is individual and different. I know they have the villages like the one in North Hollywood but I know they have strict rules. We need the rules in order to maintain social order so some people don’t qualify. Taxes should help more than they do. We don’t even necessarily need to increase taxes if they would just be a better steward of the taxes they already collect. I was happy to help her out a little.
