  • Mrs. Berry is living with a rattlesnake inside of her home. She is afraid to go to bed at night and open any cabinets doors because of the snake. Her home had large holes in the floors. There is only one heater in the entire house.

    My grandmother taught me as a young girl never laugh at anyone, you don't know what they been threw, it can happen to anyone. Get your education and skills and work hard while you are young. Don't drink,smoke or gamble , this will make you broke. 2nd Wisdom: always pay your rent on mortgage on time. Have life insurance car insurance and home or renter insurance. you need shelter, buy food in bulk. Always save your money, live frugal. Buy a home you can afford, on one salary, fix it up little by little. Take care of what you have. Clean your house or apartment each week. Wash and dry your dishes every night, you will never have bugs. Never leave garbage in the house. Put your garbage in the trash cans tied it up outside. Learn to cook your food, grow herbs and vegetables. Income tax money can fix things about the house. Have hope and faith, be strong. Learn how to paint and fix your place, my husband and I were young when we brought our house, we painted our house, inside and outside. it was a lot of work, but it was worth it, my parents and grandmother helped with the cleaning. You can do it also. Remember if you don't work hard when you are young, you get no Social Security, or a pension. what is going to happen to your life when you get these people age. Peace and love to all, get wisdom and knowledge.

The average American family is 1 paycheck away from homelessness. Or did you fail to see this with the recent car industry and banking bailouts, housing market crash, etc. Judgment is cheap, helping costs something. If you have nothing positive to say then please don't say anything.

    IMO, this should be embarrassing to no one other than those people who she let into her house and the people in her community. Did I see a NOI guy there, dressed in garb? If so, where's the delegation of men sent to that sister's house to take an inventory of her needs and see to it that they are met? Assuming that she has no husband, sons or male relatives. None of this stuff is anything that the "government" is supposed to take care of. Where's the delegation from the church (or churches). Where's the community organization, put together to see to the needs of those who can't take care of themselves? Where I grew up, in the country, we took measures to stop up all the holes around the house to keep snakes out. An periodically burned sulfur to drive them away. If you saw one, you dealt with it. That's life in the country. This is what you do if you live in the country. Snakes live in the country just like people do. Look, I lived around folks and homes just like her's growing up. People in the community stepped up and helped out, if they were allowed, and if the people in need weren't trifling. There is much more to these stories than an 8 minute video can address. Again, poverty of the heart, mind and spirit needs to be addressed more than anything else.

Are we so jaded and cold in the US that we won't help anyone who hasn't worked 3 jobs and had two heart attacks? How about just because its the right thing to do, as humans??

    @cherishachenelle2212 5 років тому +2

    Many counties/cities in Mississippi do not have "Slum Lord" Ordinances in place. There is nothing that forces landlords/property owners to maintain their rental property. These landlords/property owners are allowed to charge whatever they want In rent for houses that are in horrible condition. If you want to help people like this lady, go to your local city hall and check to see what kind of ordinance is in place to protect renters. If there isn't one then go to your city council meetings and demand that an ordinance be put in place. Many people living in poverty just need the chance to get out, they need the protection of their city, and the support of the community. Pressuring city officials to adopt an ordinance that provides some guidelines for landlords/property owners have to follow will at least ensure that the houses are not falling apart around the people living in them.

It would be a great idea if whomever is the landlord would just tear down that place and rebuild a better dwelling. He could even build as a triplex and have housing for three families.

His Mother name was Mamie Payne, 2 Brothers Doc and Pink Payne, 1 Sister. I, was told that He was Geechee. He was a medium height dark docile man with beautiful hair. Strong 💪🏾 big hands.

    And what’s sad is these slums still want rent money for the beat in falling in houses that they rent out. There’s a housing authority in Shelby Nc by the name of Harrill and associates. I am from Shelby Nc and I was looking for reasonable pricing for rent and housing and this place rents in the baddest parts of towns and the worst of the houses and collect $ off of people for poor living conditions and I get so sick of that!! How do you rent to people with a falling in home and holes and roaches and rats and snakes☝️ I don’t understand how you could greedily do that in the US? I don’t. And now I’m in SC and the beauty of the state is only a vision. I am living with my boyfriend now and his home is old and need so many repairs yet and still the rent office wants theirs and it kills me because we as a couple work so hard to pay these bills and it’s not worth it but we can’t afford anything else here because the rent is high as hell in SC if you wanna love decent you gotta pay big money I mean big big money. One bedrooms go for 700 or better round here and I’m a damn waitress my boyfriend does landscaping work and I feel so bad for him because he is the main payer of bills in the home and it’s just too much with all the bills we have and the insurance the gas the maintenance of everything we pay out of pocket and the electric bill is so high in this Trailor it is insane! I cry a lot because you don’t know what to do and who to reach out to for help??? A lot of people are living this way and it’s not just in Mississippi I tell you that straight up!!! All of us are tacking our house up round here and making the best of what we have because it’s a fight with the state and authorities.... the Trailor I stay in is very old and don’t get me wrong I love the way it is made and everything about the vintage Trailor but it is so old that it is falling apart I mean literally. Anyway this isn’t about me RN this is about Mrs berry and I will be doing all I can to reach out to her!!!! I don’t have much but god knows I’ll send what I have to Mississippi. If we don’t come together ain’t no use in discussing this matter. If 1 million people sent $1 to Mrs berry just think of how that would help her. Please y’all let’s come together??? Please? Just send $1 to this woman please and I’ll be checking to make sure it’s legit and ain’t nobody tryna get money for these you tube videos and splitting checks that are for her... cause oh they out here lurking. Believe that part! If God’s will I will be checking on this matter. I ask god to give us as people willing and hearts to help one another at this time. If we don’t help each other we have nothing here is the US. Understand that.

    I don't know what is wrong with her mind because my mother and father both were born and raised in Mississippi and they are both older than she is and my grandparents and great aunt's and uncles and they didn't live like this and they were all educated and had beautiful homes and acres of land that still in our family and they purchased the land themselves and GOD blessed them and prospered them too and the ones who are still alive in Mississippi are living well and truly blessed and I have history of generations of family born in Mississippi going to college and have graduated too and the younger generation are still going to college in Mississippi and have good jobs and happy lives too. How did she allow her tub to get like that, she needs to go to the store and buy some bleach and mildew cleaner and scrub and soak that bath tub and clean it every time someone takes a bath not cleaning it and bathing once a month will have her tub looking like that and they have plenty of resources in Mississippi to help poor people in need and they have more help in Mississippi than in Florida and they have more jobs in Mississippi than Florida and some jobs pay more in Mississippi than Florida and they have jobs in Mississippi that they don't have in Florida. Mississippi have a lot of factories that Florida and other states don't and is one of the few states who actually have jobs that are not outsourced to China, Taiwan, India and other third world countries who they pay peanuts to do long labor for ungrateful people living in the United States. She needs to go on the internet, get on the phone and go and seek help and seek GOD first, because her life can be better than that if she reaches out
