    I have been there. It was only a week but it was the longest week of my life in a motel with my husband,daughter,dog and two cats. I had an ectopic pregnancy and needed emergency surgery. My landlord threw me out because I was 3 days late on the rent. I had been unable to work for 3 weeks and was extremely weak. I had lost half my blood. Luckily I was able to become roommates with another family in financial troubles and we were able to get on our feet. I hope the best for all of these families. I hope they are okay now.

      Your heart goes out to the kids, but you also feel embarrassed for them, especially those who are in their teens. It's awkward enough adjusting to growing up, but having to do so in a neighbor's home, or some motel, and then to have your story told on the news for the world to see., there's no way I could do it.

Pizza places now if no one claims any mistake pizza , or leftover i seen stacks go pile up in the back to be thrown out next day . I would take my mistakes , or claim the leftovers to feed homeless folks .

      Going hungry for days on end when there was literally nothing in the house and when there was it would be two loafs of bread to feed three people or a couple weeks, not knowing if I was going to have a home after school, in the winter it would warmer outside then inside (-15 degrees), not knowing if there would be enough money for clothing when mine was so worn I couldn’t wear them anymore, sadly the list just continues.
      As bad as it was it has in many ways made me more tougher, resilient and resourceful but it’s no way to live ether however it’s prepared me for if the worst of anything to come.

    I go to ucf and I was so upset at the beginning thinking that they don't do anything to try and help the homeless kids, then I saw the end. It made me a little happier but still they could do a lot more

    hard times i myself when i was little i did the same and i know its hard and you learn to survived and you are only a baby i was like this since i was 3 so i understand every detail of living like this sleeping in cars it hurts when the nights are too cold or too hot or when you dont know if some one is going to do something to you ii is bad and on the strees its worst just trying to stay as much as you can without sleeping so you can survived and wont get hurt and hunger there a trick you just eat a piece of bread and just a lot of water it will expand and you wont fill hungry before you go to sleep or try any fruit that you can find i ,bad memories those i know how they hunt you every single day that make part of what i am i learn to survived alone if i didnt do it i would been dead a long time ago .

    I recently watched the 2005 movie 'AMERICAN JOBS'.
    In 2004 a teacher had student go to store & see where items were made.
    .
    In 2004 the students were STUNNED to see so little is made in America.
    We have been exporting our jobs for years.
    This problem has been brewing for years.
    .
    From 2000 to 2007 we lost 39,000 factories in the US.

    As far as I am concern i think it's good to through difficult situations in life as this will enlighten us that life is not a bed of roses especially for those who are lucky to born in the first nations of the world. Hard times discipline us and make us wise and careful.

    A home for shelter from the rain and cold should be a given and should not be taken from a person by anyone, especially a bank. The bank managers and government have all been charging a criminal interest rate over 60% when you calculate compound interest and should all be put in jail for 5 years! Give the people all their money back from the proceeds of this crime!

    Many of us are struggling but we should help each other when we can. Recently I was in Hawaii, I saw lots of homeless people; many live in tents along the beach. While in Waikiki, everyday after lunch I would share my food. I was so depressed by what I saw I went to the mgr. of the Cheesecake Factory & asked for his help in feeding them. He informed me they work w/an organization that feeds the hungry but he helped anyway. There were a lot of smiles on their faces & I felt so happy & grateful.

    One of the things that really gets to me is I've watched the movie The Big Short which caused all of these kids to be homeless because of the faulty loans in there show me people that should be in prison right now not bailed out and it's causing a lot of problems for these kids.

    Whatever you do, do not go to a shelter with an intact family. Mom and young kids will get a place, but Dad, forget it. He can sleep under a bridge. Same for older teen boys. Better to live in a vehicle, or a tent in a secluded place. Tell the school you're moving and study wherever you are, whenever you can. Expect no help from CPS, only to lose your kids and probably your marriage.
