Powerful Story of San Francisco Homeless Woman, Her Dogs, and Neighbors That Care

  • Lynda is a precious human filled with compassion and love. She has been on the streets for a long time. Too long! The life of homelessness for a woman is extremely stressful. Lynda drinks and she has a mental illness. That doesn't make her any less of a person.
    Let me start at the beginning. I was on the phone with a friend that works in San Francisco's homeless services. We started talking about Twitter. He told me about a video he saw online of a woman whose first dog was killed and then her second dog was stolen. He then sent me a link to this tweet: / 1129251284794597376
    I contacted the woman who posted the video. Angela shared a little more of the story over Twitter along with this link to a news story about the man charged with a felony for killing Lynda's first dog: www.sfgate.com...
    I interview Angela at 17:30
    I called Angela this morning. Angela is amazing. I wish more housed people would adopt their homeless neighbors as Angela has. When Angela first encountered Lynda and her dog, she was concerned about Lynda and if she would be able to take care of the pet. Over time, Angela saw how much Lynda loved and took care of her dog. Something else happened, Angela and Lynda became friends.
    Lots of people love animals. It's common to hear people complain about homeless people who have pets thinking the dog or cat is not being cared for. The real truth is, homeless people often take better care of their pets than housed people. The other issue that needs attention so there are people who care more about animals than homeless people. I like dogs too but humans, YES HUMAN BEINGS, must always take priority over animals. If you care more about a dog or cat sleeping outside than a homeless person, you really need to readjust your thinking because that's all kinds of wrong!
    Lynda eventually got another puppy. His name is Buddy. Lynda loved and took good care of Buddy. Bathrooms are a serious challenge for homeless people. Lynda needed to use a bathroom and asked a friend to watch Buddy. As puppies do, Buddy got into some turpentine that was laying around. Lynda tried to contact Angela but Angela was away. Lynda then took Buddy to another friend who has helped her watch Buddy in the past. This friend took Buddy to the vet but then refused to give Buddy back to Lynda.
    Some of you probably think that's a good thing. It is not! Lynda needed Buddy, and Buddy loves Lynda. Even the veterinarian told the person to give Buddy back to Lynda. Buddy was loved and well taken care of. Probably better than most dogs! Just because someone doesn't have a home that doesn't mean they cannot love and care for their pets.
    At the time of this interview, the police were involved, but Lynda still did not have Buddy. About an hour ago Anglea let me know that San Francisco Police contacted her and Buddy will be returned to Lynda tomorrow morning.
    I wish I could say that's a happen ending, but Lynda is in desperate need of housing. You do not have to be a social worker to know she is vulnerable. We need to get her and all the other homeless people in San Francisco off the streets and into housing with the support services they need. To do that, we need you to advocate for your homeless neighbors.

      I am 58, physically disabled, use an electric wheelchair, a mother, and a grandmother and was homeless and on the streets for close to 2 years! My 2 sons, that are both in their mid 30s, didn't even care. I was living with my youngest son. They both locked me out and left me shivering in the cold in the front yard in my wheelchair. It's a VERY sad situation for this kind of thing to keep happening to WAY too many folks! I lost my 3 Turtles due to the selfishness and carelessness of my 2 sons! 😢 I had made my 11 year old Grandson my Assistant on the permit for my 2 Box Turtles and this was a huge loss to him and my granddaughter too. I have a home now, but my 2 sons still mistreat me! My oldest son is homeless, I offered him shelter, he hurt me physically, ate up my food, and drained me financially because he's on drugs! I NEVER thought I would end up homeless when I was 56 years old. I have NO vices, but I do have to take medications for 2 autoimmune diseases and some other diseases. This situation with the homeless needs to STOP!!! My sons saw me out there a number of times and drove right on by. 😢

I have position as property manager so I'm unable to house anyone or I'll lose my job but I'm really trying to figure out how to help more.

    I’m new to your channel, so I’m watching this yrs later. This is really good to know. When I use to live in NYC I never got the feeling that homeless folks treated their pets badly. I always felt like they gave their pets more and gave themselves less. I did donate to a few homeless folks because of their pets. I’ve donated sometimes just because I was able to that day, but a lot of times it was when they had their pets with them. But it’s good to be aware of this and I’m glad Lynda got Buddy back. I hope they were able to find housing by now. 😪

I am disabled and on a tight budget, but HaShem gives us what we have, and we are to share it when we can, and He will take care of us, because I have always managed make it each month.

    I have been homeless 3 times in this life...the hardest part is always being on the go...never able to just relax for a bit...ones guard must be maintained at all times..socks are so very important..i used to dream of a new pair of socks..so for those that don't know..giving a pair of socks is everything...every time I had a full time job as well....i worked my way back into housing...
    I finally was stable...but at the age of 22 in was hurt on the job and became disabled...perscribed fentanyl for my pain...but after two years was tried of feeling stupid so I stopped the meds cold turkey..luckily no withdrawal....docs were shocked but to me if one takes it for the proper use them it really is fine....my ignorance...as my docs later told me I was part of the 5% of the world's population that can't get addicted to opiates...the university of Washington decided to take my DNA to study and try and find a cure for opiate addiction...
    Well I did force myself to work till my body shut down due to my disabilities...and forced with very few options....
    Was approved for SSDI to make the story short....bit due to my age and only getting half the average in benefits as well the average person...i was looking at a return to the streets...
    But I found out I can still collect my benefits anywhere in the world except for 13 countries...so I did some research..and moved
    I currently find myself able to maintain an upper middle class lifestyle..supporting a family of three for around 800 dollars a month...in my city one can rent a two bed single bath for 100 a month...i see my doc for 10 dollars an office visit once a month and my meds are 60-70 a month...a live in maid is 100 a month plus their basic hygiene needs and food...my house in a gated community is 211 a month at a 15yr mortgage...my sons private school is 600 a year plus books and uniform...a meal at a fast food type is about 2 dollars...

    Property industry n marketing agents have their share of this homelessness problems.
    Property developers have a habit to increase their price for about 10% every year, especially in the big cities. The problem occures bc almost all of property buyers actually do not have their income increasing by 10% , their income r only stagnant or only 1-5% increase each year. This condition after some decades SURELY will make people cant afford housing anymore.
    Marketing agents also tend to inflate/ mark up the price of properties theyre selling , in order to get bigger fee or bc its requested by some demanding homeowners.
    Together w rich foreigner buyers who dont understand the real situations & unsensible prices given to them. Thus buying those bubbling homes/ properties... BOOM!!! Chaos...

    I believe those who make people cry had better be prepared for some awful to happen to them. This is called KARMA. They cannot avoid the vengeance that has to be r returned. No one escapes it. You might not see it happening but it will take place. This I can assure you. You might not want it to happen, but it is out of your hands no matter how much you pray for that person to be forgiven Annie Low Malaysia. Just know that your dog is in a better place where he will never experience pain and cruelty again. When your time comes to join him, he will reet you with so much joy and happiness. I know because I have experienced meeting my pets, loved ones who have gone on before me. You will dream of your dog and you will see how well he is. Pray for him, your loved ones are always around, not to scare you but to help you God bless you, I send you and all the Homeless my love and prayers. I wish I could help more. I would if I could.
