the saddest part is this could happen to any of us entirely by chance
That is SO true!
Perhaps some, but I’ve seen far more people fall into poverty simple because of bad decisions as well. Goes both ways.
No it can't, some people are in lucky circumstances.
@@vandibox True
What a great day to not live in America
Only 32 adults out of 20000 in her area who were not dead, on drugs, or in jail. That’s wild.
Not even 1%
And they say everybody has the chance to become something
I'd really like to see that study. That seems practically unimaginable. How Does a community survive if only 32 people from an age range grow to adulthood?
@@501Labsbecause it’s south central LA…..
@@501Labs Probably a fair amount had kids before going jail, dying or addicted
Matthew has been so raw, open, and vulnerable on so many different platforms. From the outside, and through a phone screen, he seems successful and educated but it truly shows you we do not know anyone’s full story. Listening to him talk about his past and his present was so humbling. The very simple basic needs are things we take for granted.
He makes me feel seen. I love him
As a tech dude who got laid off twice in a year, I thought I had it bad. Damn. Really talking, or in this case listening, to other folks is all you need to realize your spot in life.
Mathew laid off 3x in one year 9:59
You did have it bad. My hardship doesn’t minimize your pain. Sorry that happened to you, and hope you end up at a company that values you more than that.
just got laid off and almost got homeless. i felt the pain.
@@zofzof713 I'm sorry for that like the stress is that insanely real. I wish you the best of luck with your situation, because it's rough out here.
Poverty trauma is so real. I can relate to some of these individuals so much growing up poor has truly impacted the way I function and work and I’m constantly living in fear that I could go back to being poor and everything I’ve ever worked for will be gone even after recently graduating with my masters degree
OMG SAMEE 😭 I've recently finished my master's degree and want to try to leave my current job in order to start working at what I've studied for, but have a fear for losing the opportunity they've given me in my current job and also not finding anything related to my studies
@@nffalltry to find another job but don’t leave the one your at until its a definite position
@Trini190 yesss I'm def gonna do that. The thing is , it's a bit more complicated. Where I'm working, once you've been there for one year, you either leave for at least another year, or they give you the opportunity to stay for another year as well (not less). I've been there for 10 months now and I don't plan on staying there for more. So yeah, I'm looking for another job currently, but the fears are there.
I was a homeless child. I was homeless because my mom was. When you’re in a situation like that, it’s hard to drink the kool-aid that “anyone can be successful if they just work hard enough” and “if you’re homeless you deserve to be.” Nobody deserves to be homeless. Ever. We need systematic change, but the system is literally designed to have some people losers so others can win. It doesn’t have to be this way, but for some reason it is. When you see a homeless person, don’t ask yourself how they got there. Ask yourself who profits from it being this way.
Its the language guessing guy from cut, didnt know he was homeless
you never know what someone is going through
@@awesomeyeahroxsNah you truly don't and will never know
People have no compassion and empathy for people anymore. Its sooo sad.
no fr, even in this comment section😭😭
well all of them chose to not work any job they could find, fast food, hard labor, under the table work. They didn’t set up an emergency fund they basically chose to be homeless
@@hunterxcraft8328 Which country are you living in? And did you even watch the video?
@@hunterxcraft8328 And how do you know? Do you know them personally? 🙄
@@hunterxcraft8328 How can anyone afford to live on those jobs in L.A.? Plus you need an address to get a job along with a number of other things. Also, nobody chooses to be homeless, that myth just enables the government to evade responsibility for creating and maintaining the homelessness crisis.
Hearing everyone’s tell their stories weighed heavy on my heart. Eventhough I have not experienced all the things the panelist shared I can relate to having difficulties in my own personal journey that made me feel like giving up on myself but I am happy that I didn’t. Thank you Jubilee for another thought provoking episode.
what are you proud of? "all of me" YES! i love that for her and idk her but im so proud of her as well
Thank you 🫂❤️
When I was 17 my family became homeless for a month, we were fortunate to have enough money to live in a hotel but it was so scary not knowing what will happen to us. I can’t even begin to imagine how people who live on the streets must feel.
I'm sobbing. We gotta do something about the homeless issue. We gotta help. Nobody should ever have to worry about being homeless. 😢
The mom who thought her kids were better off without her is like looking at my future. Homeless with a child is so hard and it’s crazy how easily you can lose your home. Rising costs and reduction of hours just knocked us out of the middle class
I feel bad for all these people went through. I wish them well!
Only 30 seconds in and I’m already tearing up 🥺
same omfg
wahhhhhh
@@samu-chan hehehehehehhehehehehehehehe
That a big issue no one talks about a lot (not all) who grew up and or are rich either don't care or are blessfully unaware of what poverty and homelessness exist...
100%, i think a portion of them do know it exists, but the main problem lies in the fact they have no accurate conception of what life really is like when you're in those circumstances. society is pretty heavily segregated in many areas, and a lot of the environments people with money grow up in - they're never exposed to those situations nor meet people who are dealing with, or have dealt with that. they might read about it, or see a video on it, but witnessing, knowing, hearing someone's lived experience in person is an entirely different understanding of what it really means.
@@Hey_Hi_Hello_HowsItGoingit doesn't help that a lot of tv shows and media we consume shows it in a very negative light
"A small loan of a million dollars". The ultra rich live in a different reality
Everyone is just one step away from losing everything. No one is “immune” to homelessness and i think it’s important to understand that many homeless people never thought they’d be here. Just because you have money now doesn’t mean you won’t end up in the same situation they’re in
this video made me re-think or wake-up on alot of the stuff that i want to do but i didnt because of the comfort zone. thank you everyone in the video and thank you jubilee
Andee is such a strong speaker ! She needs to be a motivational speaker
Andee deserves a Ted Talk. I didn't know I needed that today.
I really appreciate Andee’s realness responding to Edward. He was sharing his story but kind of keeping it on the surface and I think she fiercely and compassionately asked him to go deeper into the feelings. And she showed such awesome self-integrity as well as humility. Owning what she could change when her friend screwed her over and sharing to her community when she needed help instead of being too proud and ashamed to. (Those two things sound like opposites but they’re not. Pride is the cover up for shame)
"Youll be alright if you do everything by the book" is the lie people who use an entirely other book tell YOU to keep you from getting where they are.
I'm only going to express my gratitude for living a comfortable life. I don't ever want to be homeless. These people have the real strength to keep going. What's scary is that this could happen to any of us.
No it couldn't happen to ANY of us. That's ridiculous. Even if you're broke you don't have to be homeless. It's called being RESPONSIBLE. Taking the necessary steps to ensure a job or have skills that are needed for one. Paying your bills and not relying on others to do it for you. YOU might be homeless with that attitude. MOST everyone else would not be.
Life is really unpredictable and sometimes no matter what you do or try it just doesn't go in the direction you want it to go. There are many more factors that are not in our hand. @@dustyjeffers5716
@@dustyjeffers5716Bruh...Any job/career is not gararuteed. I see where you're coming from, and just a bit salty about everyone always claiming victimhood as a form of social currency. And that's fair. But this isn't applicable here. Being homeless is an actual struggle that could happen to anyone, even you.
@@whateverwhatever4026 no it couldn't. You think the world is against them. It isn't. It's hard to be homeless. You have to fawk up in SO MANY WAYS. Unless you're under 16 and parents throw you out. Literally anyone can work a job and pay to live in government subsidized housing. Just stahpp. Stop normalizing this behavior. It's a choice to be a drug addict it's also a choice to quit your job or get fired for being unskilled and terrible at your job. Stop victimizing everyone. Literally 95% of homeless people have Chosen that life. 5% have it forced on them.
@@dustyjeffers5716you missed lots of factors too. Throw them in and it won't be too simple and predictable. 🤷🏻♀️
Witnessing Debra speak about overcoming homelessness with children is profoundly moving. And the way she described overcoming the odds she was up against, truly moved me. Her story is a testament to the indomitable human spirit, her unyielding and unconquerable spirit, showing us that even in the darkest times, hope and resilience can lead to incredible transformation. Her journey inspires us all to believe in the possibility of change and the strength within ourselves to overcome life's greatest challenges. 🥺🥺🤗🤗
Two of the people in this circle never spoke a single word, nor shared a secret. What's with that? Regardless, I wish the best for all of them... I've been on the brink of homelessness for years and years. Paycheck to paycheck, and those paychecks are just getting smaller while everything is going up in price. It's tragic what's happening in the world today. Stay strong, everyone, and always do your best.
I hope everything ends up working out for you.
They edit the videos so even if they did speak, it probably just didn't make the cut. It's also the person's choice if they reveal themselves, so if no one stepped up they probably didn't keep it in
But it would still be interesting to hear there secret and make us think about our own life's to I also wanted to hear all of the other secrets even if they didn't step up I would of still like to hear it n either form our own opinion or relate to there secrets
Well too bad lol@@jordanmartin9689
I can literally hear some of their hearts pounding as they speak through my AirPods. It’s so sad. My heart goes out to them.
cops: let me see your ID
me: I don’t have an ID
cops: go get your ID at the DMV

Ive had a rough time lately, and im relatively lucky in this life. Money or not, life is hard. Thank you so much for your positive influence. I love you all, thank you so much for the inspiration. You all are so strong. You all are gods of your own life. Thank you, thank you.
Living in LA as a young adult is soooo hard
I was homeless and pregnant, it's as bad as you think it is. I put my kid up for adoption so he wouldn't have to go through that with me. Tbh that experience was like the pet cemetery for me, I'm an angrier more cynical version of myself now.
everyone watching this video should be glad they have a home and a phone!😀
i edited my comment becuase ejoy-yt stole my comment
Luck is for losers
@@user-hx4le1vn2c sure...
I wouldn't make that assumption 😬
This is prob the realest episode jubilee has so far
Absolutely heart wrenching.Each story was sooo raw and open.Sooo proud of each and every one of them for getting this far, and overcoming so much pain.❤
I love that they all are down to earth and supportive of each other🥺
Every person on this video is so strong and inspiring, what Andee said about being rich in love is so true; as for the hard financial times and struggles I've experienced even remembering the times of being on friends' couches, the one thing I remember is I'm rich in love and support.
Remember, you don't have to be alone and help is out there in someone that will help make you smile. The sad truth is that the institution of government is failing us all no matter where you are, this life doesn't work and is too risky. If you read this, just remember if you have a problem and want to make a positive change in your life, there's a solution out there to help you find your happy place in your heart. ❤
Poor Mathew
The poverty cycle is so real and so sad because it’s almost impossible to escape it.
Andee just spoke her truth and touched me!
What I took away from this I can do this. I’m not alone. Sending these people my ❤ and hugs. 🥰
“no one can relate but thank you for sharing” lmfaooo im sorry but what 😂😂
side note: i think y'all should do one on people in sobriety/recovery and cast me. I feel like the world of sobriety isn't talked enough and people can really learn a lot. // I love how raw in open people are on this. This is both heartbreaking and so powerful
loving the new vid ideas, keep it up jubilee❤
I’m hearts are going out to all of these people ❤️ thank you for sharing your stories. Im prod of all for all you’ve overcome
u gotta love when jubilee uploads
Being homeless is akin to being treated less than human by people who know NOTHING about your circumstances and it's a very disheartening experience. To see the look of fear on peoples faces when I exited the tent that I stayed in firmly cemented in my mind the sorry state of society and how it treats the impoverished.
I wish. I wish. I wish I could do something. I want to hug them all so bad.
what a beautiful and awareness-raising video. my heart was truly touched listening to all their stories.
They’re so much more down to earth than any “normal” person there is
i watched it from beginning to end, thank you
U watched beginning to end when this was posted 2 mins ago?
@@tanya2658LOL
@@tanya2658Solid 😂
i doubt they didn’t help these people after this video, they have truly all went through something. & if y’all listened some of them are no longer homeless, and are trying their hardest to not get back to that place.
Im grateful for the opportunities that my life has taken me to.
I cannot get through this in one sitting. Hearing Andee around 8:14 just made me start bawling. I’m gonna have to come back to this one. So powerful already 8 min in😅
Andee needs to be a motivational speaker or something.
I want to say I’m extremely proud of each person who had the courage to share a piece of their life. I love you Nikki! ❤❤❤❤
I am currently going thru it and I about cried when the woman spoke and she talked about her children.
I needed to hear this
We need to remember that, especially after the grants pass SCOTUS ruling, we all are at risk. We all have to be kind and support eachother, there is no other way.
THIS
Debras and nikki stroke with me so much. Grew up homeless from age 2 to 14 in southern california and mexico. i was around 9 or 10, Cant really remember what age i was now that im 27, but i remember one day i saw my mom cry one time. And was the only time i seen her cry besides when she would pray. This time it was out of the know where. She was trying so hard to hide it by covering her face. I remember asking her why are you crying. It was the second after she replied by saying "perdon mijo, por el frio". when i looked around and realize that sleeping on some random apartments stairs to keep away from the rain wasnt something my mom would have wanted for me. Up untill then, i honestly didnt think that not having a stable roof was ok. All i really knew was just streets, parks, canals, and sewers to go to sleep. As a kid i really didnt mind. my brain was just stoke on no curfew, having freedom everyday and just being a kid and being chaotic in the streets. After that day though, i realized that none of that was ok. It also made me realize how much being homeless hurt my mom. Thankfully once i reached high school we where able to have a secure place. I probably will never ask my mom exactly what she was thinking that day, being that ive only seen her cry a couple time in my life it had to be someting related to nikki. That day i also realize how strong my mom was. anytime hero comes to mind, i always think of my mom. if it wasnt for her and the strong will she has i most likely would still be homeless, which would have ended me in bad situation and making poor decisions. It made me teary seeing nikki talk about her self that way.
Wow, I always have so many doubts about how my kids will feel about me in the future for this. I feel like I failed them from such a young age and gave them a childhood that they never deserved. They didn’t deserve to grow up in hotels or have to do UberEats with me. But I can only hope & pray that when my kids are your age, that they see me the way you see your mother ❤️ I know the way you grew up was tough for you & your mom. I’m so glad to read you guys are in a safe home now! 🫶🏽🥹❤️
This made me cryyyy
I work multiple job stay up for 48 hours at times just to pay rent I think about just going homeless because it’s so hard to just pay rent as a single adult !
If you can and are open to it I’d look up adult continuing education programs so that you can learn a new skill.
Many programs may offer a scholarship as well, it won’t be easy but it will give you the opportunity to get a job that supports your life sufficiently
Andee ❤️ I’m happy she and Nikki hugged. I wish them all strength love, and support to get through. This video I feel debunks the stereotypes that people have on homelessness. Costs of living are high, AI is threatening all-collar jobs, layoffs, and frankly people are assholes in how they treat others.
Even though no one is immune to homelessness, this video still teaches us a lot. First: if you can own a home or small apartment, it's better than renting or throwing money away in the long run. Stability. Second: choose your friends and career wisely. Stability and survival should be your priority. Once that's done you can follow your dreams. Specially if you have kids. And lastly, don't have more than one child unless you can consider yourself financially wealthy enough to do so. Unless you're assaulted, no one has kids by accident.
Omg! Matthew! A very talented language guy! So sorry Matthew that u were in this situation
This video needs more attention
I work in the downtown area of Houston and I see so many homeless people around and I hate that I have to always ignore them. I have to act like they're not there and it's so dehumanizing for them. I can't even make eye contact for fear that one of them might be mentally ill and hurt me, because living in the street really messes with your mind.
There are enough houses in the world for everyone to live a dignify life, if only the rich and powerful stop being so greedy and make housing affordable.
My heart goes out to you. Even if you both were angry with each other you know you both love each other no matter what.
8.7 million subscribers m. I hope they helped these people a bit, than just an interview.
Ive been through most of what they have been through. I technically am still homeless i stay in a program. Trying to finish my education and become a doctor. I still dont have a home to go to but im working hard for a place to call HOME. Im praying for every homeless person. We all need that and fr people not to give uo on us. Its hard.
Homeless people are more humankind than the amount of people around the world tbh.
.......What?
Is this a bot?
I agree 💯%%
That made no sense !
LOL I bet you arent signing up to homeless. Your comment is total rubbish.
Are homeless people not part of the world wtf am I missing here?
I am so thankful for videos like these. Its beautiful and I relate so deeply.
I am curious if maybe the team could explain how these episodes are constructed in the sense that we know two people there did not share a secret or speak at all. I know it is not mandatory for people to speak on their secret but I am wondering why they were not read? I feel like the audience still may have related without them sharing. I am also a Peer Support Worker and my job is to use my lived experience to support others. A mandatory expectation of my role is self disclosure and though I know this is not their job... I imagine they are getting paid and they are voluntairly choosing to be on this platform. I more than anyone understand the difficulty in being vunrable so please dont take this comment as me being upset 2 pepole didnt share. The episode was so beautiful and even their energy in the room I am sure made a huge difference for everyone there and their willingness to participate is also so beautiful!! I am just wondering if the jubilee team could maybe explain how these episodes are constructed, what are the expectations, what are not the expectations? I am just nosey and curious :P
3 minutes in and i’m already crying
8:33 low key needed to hear that
WHATS MATTHEW DOING HERE NOOO
this episode means so much more given the recent SCOTUS ruling
wait how
whatchu mean
Give the context I think that’s the rule where homeless people can legally be prosecuted just for sleeping outside
i don’t care how hard you work we are all an accident or diagnosis away from losing it all. that should be enough to alarm absolutely everyone but it’s too easy to be deluded and instead find fault in people we don’t want to end up like.
I totally want to try out for this platform….
I can relate to the first one.
The woman at 8:30 is very well spoken, wish the best for you all ❤
It is so hard to be a human! Will pray for all these people.
i need to be in this kind of video
this vid really hit home
This Video made me cry
Andee’s story wad poetry
"If you believe in it you'll risk it all for it" word.
In times like these health is wealth
I feel like after every one of these videos like if it was me I'd be like can I just get your number or something so I can have this little support cuz I feel so connected while in these talks
The fact that jubilee kept the Starbucks part 😂. Real ones
America is a pressure cooker. The only thing that matters money. This is a sickness...
Love these beautiful souls and wish them better days ahead. The people I see going to church each Sunday could learn a lot from this group, like what true empathy and support for fellow human beings looks like. That seems to be missing from America as a whole, but dangerously so from the white evangelical community in America. Smh
FDJT
As someone who would be considered middle-upper class, I find the way people around me view or treat homelessness is very dehumanizing. We are taught from a young age through the media we consume (such as social media, TV shows, and similar) that people who are homeless have done this to themselves (suggesting if they'd work harder it wouldn't be like this) and are often viewed as an extremely harmful stereotype (my mom usually assumes that people who are homeless are purposefully violent and drug addicts) -which some homeless people are addicted to drugs, but that is literally because some are struggling with reality and that is one of the only coping mechanisms they have to depend on (wether voluntary or not)
I want to learn more about this stuff as I am fully aware I am not close to understanding how truly difficult it can be to be struggling financially and I feel the need to be aware.
If you have stories, or thoughts/opinions please let me hear them if you are comfortable sharing. (Especially if I have said anything offensive in this comment, please let me know)
Perseverance.
I’m in the same position as the woman in the white… hopefully I get out soon :/ it’s sad that just having daycare for my son could fix it
Is there a state sponsored program you can apply for daycare support?
Thanks g ... Im about to call loval starbucks
Y’all need to move out of California
That also cost money and is a privilege
My parents and relatives always told me that homeless people on the streets are just scammers, lazy people, or people who have chosen the wrong path in life. Watching this made me realize that sometimes that's not always the case.
It’s a mix of traumatic life events and mental illness honestly with added measure of not having executive functioning/ adulting skills.
There’s a spectrum across all 3 but I would say this is really it.
*Still struggling to classify this series... There are so many things that point to it as rehabilitative and helpful to those also dealing with the issues but at the same time it also seems sooo exploitative*
As someone who was in this video, I couldn't feel less exploited. I was there voluntarily, I was paid well, and I got to share my story on a wider scale than I ever could have on my own. I can't speak for the others, but that's all wins for me. If I were the creative director of a media company like Jubilee and I wanted to use that power to share stories of poverty, I don't know what I would do differently. Jubilee knows these types of videos get far fewer views than the less dark gameshow-type videos, which is why they need to work with outside companies to make them at all. If they were truly heartless and just using people like me for money, they wouldn't be making these types of videos at all.
They volunteer for it. Anyone that's on a jubilee video knows that what they say is going to air on UA-cam and they make sure they're comfortable with that fact.
I wish I had the money to help all of them-
I wonder what program was keeping track of 20,000 people South LA. Makes you wonder if all those people going down the path to death or prison were pushed there by design.
Yeah, it was a kinda weird story. I could not find something to confirm it.
It was a study. Longitudinal cohort studies are conducted by universities & researchers across the world, every day. I was part of one by Rice University.
There’s the British documentary series “UP”, of which 14 children were revisited every 7 years; “7 Up!”, “21 Up”, “ 28 Up”, “35 Up”, “42 Up”, “49 Up”, “56 Up”, & “63 Up”. Nothing sinister.
@@sunshine3914 That's fair. It's more than likely nothing. I'm just very cynical and largely untrustworthy of organizations working with vulnerable people. Also I'm from LA, so I see a lot of exploitation around and I have trust issues lol
They do studies on how where you are born is the biggest determining factor of where you end up in life. It’s all geography/demographics. It’s actually heartbreaking in a society that blames the individual for systemic issues.
Whats blue shirt doing there
With how the economy has been going in the past few years, my care cup for homeless people (often violent/selfish/drugged up) is now empty.
We should set a go fund me
Why didn't Andee stand up when Briana talked about drug use? At first, I was shocked Bri was the only drug user in the group of people who used to be homeless it seemed like an odd ratio, just for Andee to later confess. I guess Andee was hesitant about oversharing her life after hearing her say she didn't want to tell everything, which is fair. I wonder what Bri was thinking after hearing Andee later confess.
