Eileen's statements about masks and the coronavirus are not true. PLEASE WEAR A MASK. I wrestled with posting this video because of her false beliefs, but to preserve each person's story's integrity, we do not edit videos. It's their story raw and unedited. It's also not my story, which means I do not feel it is right to censor a story. What is true is Eileen is an elderly homeless adult, and she is vulnerable. Elderly homelessness is the fastest-growing homeless population. It was a crisis before the pandemic, and it's going to get worse. WE MUST END HOMELESSNESS! For these reasons, I decided to post Eillen's story. Coronavirus cases are spiking again across the country. The pandemic is now shifting to the Midwest and to more rural areas; cases are trending upward in most states, many of which are setting weekly records for new cases. The reason the pandemic continues to grow is as a nation, we all do not follow basic safety guidelines like wearing masks and social distancing. For a homeless person, the coronavirus is just another challenge on top of all the other challenges they face every day. Homeless people also do not have access to information as housed people do. I often run into homeless people who share Eillen's point of view. Like many of us, they are frustrated about having to live through this pandemic. Bathrooms are now closed. Foot traffic to panhandle from is gone. Feeding programs and other support services have stopped. With winter coming, many emergency shelters are not opening. The only way we are ever going to get past this pandemic is by following basic safety guidelines such as wearing masks, social distancing, and using hand sanitizer. People's lives depend on us following those guidelines. Please wear a mask any time you are around other people.
Yeah i think this video did provoke some negative reaction and unnecessary debate. Rather than pay attention to main subject which homeless issue, now some people debate about wear mask or not to wear mask, and bullied each other also from mask group and no mask group. Sparks so much negativity. Really lose my sympathy for her. I imagine one day she will stay somewhere and create unnecessary fight aggressively with her neighbour over things which could be resolve if she can be little respectful to other who has different view as her. U can see how she suddenly talk so rude to someone who just help her with glasses. So imagine how she will argue with other stranger.
@@lialia3796 I hear you. the people leaving anti-mask comments made up their mind months ago. Who knows, maybe a few of them will click on the links in the description and learn the real truth. Our work is not about creating sympathy. Every single day, I help people who I may not like personally. We must end homelessness for everyone. left outside, Eileen will die. At 62, she is vulnerable. She is also vulnerable to the coronavirus. From this interview, you can tell Eileen is upset. She's been homeless for some time. The mask thing could just be her lashing out at something. Eileen's views on masks have nothing to do with the fact she is homeless. Her story is a very real story on elderly homelessness, and we all must do something to end homelessness in our communities.
@@InvisiblePeople i do respect u for what u do. It's another level of human compassion. Actually it's not about helping someone u like or don't like personally. What i refer to 'sympathy' here is maybe there is a reason why her initial friend who offer her the place then changed mind. Anyway, my point is we ourself could help ourself or create problem for ourself.
@@lialia3796 When people are scared and distrusting they hit out. Eileen is on the street, the state has taken her belongings and trashed her memories, they’ve not helped her back up. This pandemic has compounded the homelessness and poverty issues. I don’t agree with her view on masks but I can understand why she’s angry and wants to figuratively flip the bird to the establishment. Why should she give a flying fig when she clearly feels no one gives an F about her 🤷🏻♀️ You can see the negative cycle... and there are many many more Eileens out there. You have to break it somehow and gain trust to move forward... it’s basic human psycho dynamics.
@@duran007fan5 Dead serious; million social security beneficiaries are living in foreign countries to maximize their dollars. You need to learn to differentiate social security income and social supplement income (SSI).
No screw lose, you try living on 1000.00 a month! Horrible situation . A small loan for a used little van would be the safer route if you can keep the payment to a couple hundred dollars. A huge percentage of people are living in cars and vans because the cost of living is out of control it’s called inflation! Buckle up because with the Government and the Fed Res printing money like crazy it’s going to get much worse!
A lot of people have a lot of opinions that are sitting in the Comforts of their nice homes when the majority of you don't know what it's like to live on $1,000 a month and you sure wouldn't know how to be homeless but you sure do know how to judge one just ridiculous the nerve of some people
@@magdaty1815 Magda how can you totally blame the government and the wealthy for the homeless problem. Some of them don't want to go to shelters because they are drug and alcohol free. People need to take a certain amount of responsibility for their own lives!!!
@@vsculpt wake up, at least watch some feature movies to get a clue about shelters geez have you even heard what that woman had to say about her experience with "the help"?
Kelsey, breaks my heart too. I would love to get in contact with her. I live about 3 hour from Harrisburg. But I have an empty 3 bedroom house that I would absolutely let her in. Bless her heart . This makes me so sad
@@terriprobst4680 As a former landlord the biggest problem I ran into when extending any extra kindness or helping hand they always turned on me. Just listen to how she talks about building code standards and fire codes. My gosh at the drop of a hat she will sue a landlord. Seems to me she don't mind the streets. If it were me on the streets needing a hot shower and a safe place I wouldn't complain at all. In fact I would hug and kiss anyone that would rent to me. This woman is too head strong and way too demanding. I would never rent to her intitled ass. And you are only looking for a world of trouble here. Just listen to her and ask yourself do you want legal issues? Because she will sue you in a heart beat if the battery in the fire alarm beeps or the thermostat is a bit off ect. Ect. You got a good heart but your going to get burned by people like this. And fyi: the courts always weigh in favor of the renter. So get ready for big problems. She does not seem humble at all.
If I were her I would move to Greece and rent a place for €350 and have a fantastic life I don’t know what she’s doing in the United States doesn’t make sense
Love, love, love this woman. She's very logical and understanding of economics. She is right, affordable housing is a scam. Renter pays 1/3, tax payer pays 2/3 for over inflated housing.
Yes. They figure out how much they can charge a person at their max they can probably afford, knowing the government will pay them double what you charge the renter. So they can get $900 total for an apartment that MIGHT be worth the $300 the person pays. I'm betting it's healthier living in a tent. It's not rodent filled, bug infested, mold ridden in a tent like "affordable housing". Then the area is usually not safe either.
She knows the whole scam. Affordable housing is not affordable. And the $700/mo won't rent to her. private apt. She knows it. I hate affordable housing. A nonprofit renovated a couple buildings in my neighborhood-- millions of rehab and people were thrown out of the cheap apts. Now you have to apply and attend financial lessons to get one of these apartments, taking it out of the private market. They have better landscaping than my apt. It stinks.
Yes, she’s right about it! But surely a “not-so-nice” place in affordable housing (with heat, running water & a lock) is better than living in a tent in the winter. I don’t get it. I think she wants to be homeless.
No money for taking care of people but billions spent to support lockdown measures across the country. We keep feeding the States to lock us down and harass us with mandatory tests to work ( yes! Where I work! ) and then cut us all a puny check that barely pays one month rent.
My mom is her age and she said she would be in trouble if she didn't have savings. Her retirement is poverty wages and she worked as a teacher for 25 years!
Ya thats inflation. That's what happens when the government spends a bunch of money like crazy. And everyone on here is liie the solution is dumping shit tons of money on the needy
@@OptimusDelta yes man, in today's world there is a lot of despair and sadness going on, this channel identifies small problems and lets us help them so I got interested, great to see you here too
She should do b able to get that $700 apt; so sad n ppl lose hope - hope deferred makes the heart sick - these are courageous ppl who face this everyday😢
@@keilana6 There's a "trendy" complex by me that has apartments or should I say, shoe boxes, going for over 2k a month, they are 800 square feet! There is no regulation and idiots are renting them left and right, just to say they live in there. It is all about greed and image, it's ridiculous.
I have friends who also lost all of their possessions due to a "homeless service" throwing them away. Certificates of education, social security paperwork, etc. That's just cruel. And you're supposed to be helping... they should be ashamed of themselves. I hope their conscience wakes them up.
I was in affordable housing and it caused many, many problems. I will leave it at that. Totally bad decision to go for that program, at least for me. "The poor you will always have with you." - JESUS "The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests but the Son of Man hath not where to lay his head." - JESUS After I get out of my own predicament, I hope I can make a difference someday :/
These videos should be sent to ever congressmen and Senator and then they should look into the housing problem and fix it. All TV channels should show these videos and let people know what is happening to our homeless. It’s such a tragedy. We let Thousands of immigrants in and give them everything, yet we can’t take care of our people who need help.Shame on us!!!
I agree but lefties tppoliticians and rhino ones don't care they want free and cheap labor and Democrat voters is why they want all these illegals and immigrants here.
Yes! Some people have made their bed with their families and some prefer to be alone. Some have been kicked out due to issues with drugs and alcohol, and prefer to be on the streets. But this woman, she WANTS to be independent in shelter. Where are her children? Maybe she gave up on family for a reason. I LOVE the extended families living together and watching over each other. This country is not good with taking care of their elderly or disabled family members at ALL!! They send them off to live in a ROOM with someone they don’t know where strangers take care of them that don’t love them. It’s a horrid and evil thing to do to a loved one. I’ve seen it done and ask myself about how someone could drop someone off and not look back. It’s horrible and so damned sad.
Lmao just because she's an older lady, don't assume that she's had kids because that is a little sexists. Not all woman have lives where they have kids or yearn to do so. Tbh, I think randy visitacion meant that if other societal members in the Philippines see an elderly lady like this outside, they go more out of their way to take care of her, to help her, and to help her feel more peace, comforted, and cared for than what Americans do
@@hope4humanity222 It’s not always the fault of the homeless person. I have tried for 55 years to get along with my maternal family. It isn’t possible due to untreated mental illness! I would not and could not take in anyone on that side of my family, because it would cost me my sanity and likely my life. One of my family members has been trying to kill me since I was a child and I am not being melodramatic! My heart goes out to this beautiful soul!
@@aznbspikey Housing isn't free. Someone always has to pay. Everyone wants the government to take care of the problems that most people caused themselves. They just assume the government prints more and more. The tax payers are already paying a lot of money in taxes just to support themselves and their family.
@@erniebell1858 When you say 'tax payers' you're talking about yourself, but you're also talking about people like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk who pay almost no tax. Tax them properly, and we'd have plenty of money to build plenty of FREE housing for vulnerable people. It's literally that simple, anybody that tells you otherwise is either rich, or more likely convinced by rich people to act against their own interests.
@@jimmysmickles7598I agree but those people are smart enough to find a loophole. New York tried to greatly raise the tax on some of the very rich. They also planned a budget on the taxes that they would receive. Then suddenly, several of the very rich moved out of the state. There went their planning and the taxes that some rich people. Some rich people do pay a large amount of taxes. I do admit that there is a lot of corruption and a lot of the times it is caused by politicians from both sides.
Prayers for the Lord to come & shelter Eileen into a small apartment for winter. This is heart breaking what our country has become not helping homeless citizens.
I think i could help her but if she would be able to move to Phoenix az i have a 4 bedroom hse and i can have more info about her like her name or a phone number that i can reach her if someone knows how i can get a hold of her plzz let me know thx my name is yolanda
I was homeless for 3 years. From age 69 until 73. I did live in a small car. I agree about some of the public housing. I live in an apartment that is funded by private corporations, federal government, grants, etc. I had an excellent social service agency. Instant housing is almost impossible because there are too many homeless and not enough housing. Unless she changes her attitude about a mask during this pandemic, I doubt that anyone would rent to her. Here in Austin, where I live there is a very steep fine for not wearing a mask during this pandemic.
I feel so bad for this lovely woman. Our government is heartless. Make it really affordable for homeless to find peace and a place to call home. We are all so vulnerable.
Such a great interview Mark. I like how, inspite of your fundamental differences in opinion, you kept the interview flowing. I was speaking to someone the other day about the impact of affordable housing . It's truly a public health issue. Again thank you.
Sending love from NZ, heart-breaking seeing so many people in that situation. Sadly I have seen our wee country go from a land of plenty to a land of greedy. Although not as bad as America, NZ now has an extreme housing crisis, many of my nieces and nephews generation will never own a home....just finding a house to rent is difficult enough. Rents have gone through the roof and many motels are at full capacity with people unable to find a home. Storage is hard to find so many have to give up what little they have. I'm 50 this year, how times have changed. All the best to you x
Me too. I'm educated, worked hard my entire life, saved and lived frugally but due to illness and a huge ripoff scam I've lost everything. Its difficult being elderly and poor.
The housing crisis is getting worse. Greed got us to this point, in our declining economy. Technology is changing the way we do business now. Retail jobs r obsolete. Malls r a waste of money. Online shopping is a hot potato. Our future is more unemployment, and a rising cost of living. For people who live in basic housing, like a studio , for around 1200 a month, the shortages r increasing. There will be more collapsed governments, global warming, over population, gentrification, greedy corporations, evictions, and foreclosures. The pandemic has created many more social problems.
Absolutely. The thing that pisses me off is people who complain about homeless camps!! I saw a family of 4 in great looking clothes, their kids playing with toys, holding signs at a intersection light. God.
This woman had her entire life to figure out money and life and she’s got nothing to show for it. Who’s fault is it really? An emergency or life crisis doesn’t cripple you for 60+ years when you’re as articulate and verbally combative as her. Instead of calling bullshit on a virus, she could’ve studied something that brought value to others instead of screenplays that no one wanted to read.
I'm in a completely different situation than this lady, but she is right, there is no such thing as affordable housing. The government would rather you pay interest for your entire life, for the illusion of ownership rather than having houses that people can actually truely afford.
@@pest174 Cheers buddy, no doubt about it.... many many people and corporations have hoovered up tax payer dollars by being on the corruption ladder between payment for services and the actual delivery to people who desperately need them. 😪😪👍👍
It is not affordable to me. Not eligible for 1/3 payment if rent so more than half my SS goes for rent. Who understands the 50% percentile of are in of income. Government is inscrutable.
@@keilana6 Most governments invent more layers of useless unnecessary bureaucracy so to place bulwarks between us and them. So I always take the view "the book stops at the very top of the chain" , and that is nearly always a politician.
Yea, I even saw a youtube video where a guy managed to repurpose porta potties into functional mini homes (not a great, dignified solution; but he was specifically doing the experiment with cost constraints & the homeless in mind, to see if it was viable)
Yea the part when she was talking about us breathing in carbon dioxide was the same thing as breathing in fumes from a running car in a garage. Even though that would be carbon monoxide. Two totally different gases. Yea she’s intelligent alright. And so are you.
what is happening now in the world? we are educated to know what is right and what is wrong but why did they just let their grandmother to sleep outside? and then their city is cold weather and no one was kind enough to help grandma!?
they are all intelligent and articulate, either Mark cherry picks them, or i don't understand what is going on. Aside of the accountant who seemed to enjoy partying on the streets, the rest are very decent people who one way or another lost their apartments and now they are not given a second chance. why?
We have an extortionist housing/rent situation. No one can save or spend. We need low cost solutions across the board that completely replace the old model. Housing should be as affordable, efficient and abundant as possible. No tax payer or government dimes, just efficient housing by design that meets the demand at a far lower cost, replacing the old extortionist model. Everyone from college kids to homeless would benefit. Most people's purchasing power is wasted on trying to survive with the majority going to rent. All businesses would benefit as all the money saved would flow into every part of the economy.
Agree! I think when the pandemic passes and how business and economy is effected...things will need to be done differently to bring back thw economy...old way is extinct. MY HOPE is that in areas with land....more tiny home communities and incentives for people to start home business. And in the cities to take abandoned buildings and warehouses and amp up developing them into apartments with a businesses on the first floor.
Definitely agree! Shelter is one of our fundamental needs, and all of our income shouldn’t be depleted for our shelter, before we even do anything. CHANGE IS COMING. 🙏✨💕
just wanna say that i think you handled the discussion about masks etc. really well - clearly stating your disagreement with her take on "science", rephrasing her complaint from a different perspective that you could both agree with, re-focusing the interview on homelessness, and showing your respect to her as a person and to her perceived experience by not editing that part out.
And ACTUALLY, she is correct. We are not supposed to breathe in our exhales lol. It's common knowledge actually, but msm makes it seem like everybody agrees with them. We DON'T.
@@imdonewarningyou7265 well i strongly disagree but w/e. its true that if you have problems with the lungs or similar issues, you shouldn't wear certain masks for too long (like ffp2 masks, which filter more than others), but if you just wear normal masks for limited amounts of time, its not really unhealthy, especially when you dont have breathing problems in the first place.
@@imdonewarningyou7265 then how do those poor doctors survive when they have an hours long surgery and wear one? The mortality rate must be through the roof for that profession.
this old lady, should not be homeless, America has fallen, our politicians is no good; people don't depend on your government,, you are basically on your own.
I feel so bad for her and anyone else in her situation. My thoughts and prayers are with her. I think people at social services are people collecting a paycheck. Caring and compassion doesn't cost a thing.
I disagree with this framing. Your implication is that people who make use of government safety nets have bad morals. She shouldn’t feel bad to accept the help, the help is there for a reason. She’s paid into it with her taxes.
Keeping my elderly single mother housed and not eating cat food is everything to me. I'm beyond thankful that I've always been able to do those things. Watching this video is really tough.
When you make it back to Utah, the homeless problem has gotten quite worse again in the last 8 months specifically. Cold snap as well, we went out last night to hand out sweatshirts and tents ⛺️
I am always so curious about the homeless people's family. Don't they have any family to help them? It's so heartbreaking to see older people that are homeless. I hope she gets the $700 apartment with paid utilities.
Classic overplayed question ,” Don’t they have family or parents to help ?” Nope strong no, not all family is true not all family is family. Sometimes one stranger is more family than someone who claimed they loved or cared for years, and all just for them to be greedy and kick people out their own people, so no. Not all family is good, it’s always a messy long story in most cases, family can cut good family members off making them homeless, but not in all cases. But I’m most of the cases these homeless people’s” family” misunderstands them and their needs .
This is a snippet of this person's life. You don't know anything about her mental health, you don't know anything about the relationships she's broken, we don't know anything about her. A lot of people have a large ego and would never call their family for help.
@@konye618 who says “she” broke anything first? Why so quick to point the finger of guilt into her? Yeah she may not be a saint or high qauality but it’s not just “she this “ “her secret side” “her downfalls”.
@@mariesha5915 Understood. All the family I grew up with is dead except for the narcissistic mother whom I don't speak to. I'm not homeless and it just pains me to see those who are.
This woman is my hero . I love that she has the fortitude to stand for what she knows is right and does not join in with the brain washed masses . What she said is absolutely true! She does not take the attention off homeless issues by talking about masks . She shared the impact on her as a homeless person. The forced policies related to this virus have destroyed economies and lives and have no scientific validity.
I can and will be an advocate for the homeless, I've been homeless and on the streets.i slept under the roof of a church in the winter in very bad conditions no blankets, I used the church's welcome mats to stay warm/ dry. I walked around with no shoes on my feet and sometimes I had urinated on myself because I had no toilet. But prayer does work and I prayed that God would help me and he did!. I've been in a place now for 8 months.I am clean dry and safe and I wish the same for Ms.Eileen and her friend and everyone who is homeless and struggling. I will 🙏 for them.
Well said! I also pray for the homeless and that's the reason why I watch these videos so I know whom to pray for. May God always protect the homeless 🙏 and give the housing people willing hands to help the homeless

Sad I hope this lady gets a nice place to stay no one deserves to be on the streets ... definitely a HARD life and it's really a cold world we live in and we live in the richest country yet we have a huge homeless problem
Oh Mark bless you re the mask 😓 This whole Covid situation must add so much stress/anxiety/ confusion to the already bewildering experience of homelessness. Eileen’s frustration is palpable. I hope there is some way to help her back to Rhode Island or at least find shelter in Harrisburg.
@Avery Breaux This sounds like complete BS. The lady would do herself a great favor if she started wearing a mask. I have never heard of anybody dying from wearing a mask.
@Avery Breaux You clearly don't know what you are talking about. All around the World people are wearing masks. I live in Denmark, and we have a government who actually believes in scientists. But if you think superspreader Trump knows everything, you should follow a program on Trump University. Btw maybe you should wonder why Trump is so keen on promoting hydroxychloroquine and now also degeneron.
@Avery Breaux Try telling that to the Japanese. Japanese have always been a country of mask wearers even pre-pandemic. They are also a country with high longevity attributed to their generally healthier lifestyle, large consumption of fish - omega oils, densely packed nutrients such as seaweed and immune protective vitamin d. They have grasped and understood early on the protective effects of mask wearing and social distancing (they bow and don’t greet with touch) that you protect others by wearing one especially the elderly. Japan with a population of 127 million has recorded only 1,635 deaths!! Economically they are forecast to come out of this terrible situation as one the strongest because they have been quick to adapt and as a result keep things going. Ultimately getting through this thing will be down to protective measures individuals can take for themselves and collective action. I suppose only time will tell which stance is right but in the meantime I choose to pay heed to the medical and healthcare professionals who advocate that it’s in our best interest to wear a mask.
@@troelskristensen7448 What are you talking about people all around the world don't wear mask's all the time I work with a guy who was in China during the sar's and almost no one had a mask on.

My heart goes out for this lady. All her life she worked hard and at this age she cannot find a place to live. What happened to all the tax people have been paying??
Retirement! People have this thing that social security is going to be their end all be all. Social security is only to supplement what you have saved for retirement. If you don’t have any now, start Laddering CDs, start a Roth IRA and so forth. Put your money to work for you. This way when you retire, you can be set.
I am in a total agreement with this sincere lady. She is impressive , and everything she stated is real. I own property in South Haven, MI have 2 homes on 20 acres. The 1 smaller dwelling is a studio, that I will remodel this summer. If I would find this sweet lady, I would allow her to reside in the studio apt. rent free, I said free. The only thing she’d pay for is her low utils. which are very cheap. I say this because of this lady’s honesty, My Best to this honest person. Roland
Dear US of A! You need to change your political system!! Your society have become so effing inhumane!!! We are all humans, we need to take care of ALL citizens!!! Never lose genuine solidarity!! Respect human rights!!
Of course, I know! But the normal working people do have 'the power' to change society! And all those years some people live homeless, most take their toll in a not so nice way! The financial resources exist! I it is just in the wrong hands....same problem here in Denmark, just on smaller scale. The times should be 'a changing'....Old song you know!!😏
Nah.. 1) Just keep voting for the better of the losers. 2) Keep paying the taxes to feed the overpaid government officials. 3) And be a puppet to count for the corporation's profit.
I'm from here! I volunteer with the church a few blocks from where she's sitting, my home church's sister church, Market Presbyterian Church. These are the kindest people in the world, they warm your soul. Thankfully this church offers people showers, meals, and prayer. Unfortunately they only have a winter shelter for under freezing. :( I hope to help them more and more every day. Volunteering has blessed my life. I'm so grateful for clean water, a warm home, family. Our downtown is on a riverfront!!! It gets freezing cold. Please pray for these people in Jesus name. Amen.
@Coral Islands Biden is senile and communist, which says it all. In addition, he is friends with the whole communist patras like Clinton, Obamarama. Trump has done everything he promised in the last election.

Agree to disagree on the mask. I have lung and heart disease but I do wear a mask to protect myself and others while I'm out. I'm not going to judge someone who chooses not to wear one. Maybe head down south to some of the warmer states. They trashed all her memories. Bless her heart. Thank you for giving people a voice.
yes we are all entitled to our opinions..the day we r not allowed to use our voice will be a sad day..look how we r all being controlled now..good for her to say how she feels
if we d'ont wear mask we are not allow to enter in buildings,bus,foods market .. they call the police to arrest you! so put the mask do what you have to do and get out fast! i don't go anymore in mall shopping centers since coronavirus! i go in independant stores!
I kind of felt bad for her, especially after saying she moved and her room rental didn't work out.. then she opened her mouth about the virus and went on a rampage about everything. Now I know why her room rental didn't work out, her roommate probably didn't want to die of Covid. .. Although she's completely right about affordable housing, it's a huge scam.
She's right. She's, having a "rampage"because it's driving us ALL fkn mad watching you idiots fall in line over a 99.7 blah blah survival rate. Wake up!!! MASKS are an absolute JOKE. Do some research. Water drolets? lol please. .. More than USELESS!! You CLEARLY have no idea.

Eileen's statements about masks and the coronavirus are not true. PLEASE WEAR A MASK. I wrestled with posting this video because of her false beliefs, but to preserve each person's story's integrity, we do not edit videos. It's their story raw and unedited. It's also not my story, which means I do not feel it is right to censor a story. What is true is Eileen is an elderly homeless adult, and she is vulnerable. Elderly homelessness is the fastest-growing homeless population. It was a crisis before the pandemic, and it's going to get worse. WE MUST END HOMELESSNESS! For these reasons, I decided to post Eillen's story.
Coronavirus cases are spiking again across the country. The pandemic is now shifting to the Midwest and to more rural areas; cases are trending upward in most states, many of which are setting weekly records for new cases. The reason the pandemic continues to grow is as a nation, we all do not follow basic safety guidelines like wearing masks and social distancing.
For a homeless person, the coronavirus is just another challenge on top of all the other challenges they face every day. Homeless people also do not have access to information as housed people do. I often run into homeless people who share Eillen's point of view. Like many of us, they are frustrated about having to live through this pandemic. Bathrooms are now closed. Foot traffic to panhandle from is gone. Feeding programs and other support services have stopped. With winter coming, many emergency shelters are not opening. The only way we are ever going to get past this pandemic is by following basic safety guidelines such as wearing masks, social distancing, and using hand sanitizer. People's lives depend on us following those guidelines. Please wear a mask any time you are around other people.
Yeah i think this video did provoke some negative reaction and unnecessary debate. Rather than pay attention to main subject which homeless issue, now some people debate about wear mask or not to wear mask, and bullied each other also from mask group and no mask group. Sparks so much negativity. Really lose my sympathy for her. I imagine one day she will stay somewhere and create unnecessary fight aggressively with her neighbour over things which could be resolve if she can be little respectful to other who has different view as her. U can see how she suddenly talk so rude to someone who just help her with glasses. So imagine how she will argue with other stranger.
@@lialia3796 I hear you. the people leaving anti-mask comments made up their mind months ago. Who knows, maybe a few of them will click on the links in the description and learn the real truth. Our work is not about creating sympathy. Every single day, I help people who I may not like personally. We must end homelessness for everyone. left outside, Eileen will die. At 62, she is vulnerable. She is also vulnerable to the coronavirus. From this interview, you can tell Eileen is upset. She's been homeless for some time. The mask thing could just be her lashing out at something. Eileen's views on masks have nothing to do with the fact she is homeless. Her story is a very real story on elderly homelessness, and we all must do something to end homelessness in our communities.
@@InvisiblePeople i do respect u for what u do. It's another level of human compassion. Actually it's not about helping someone u like or don't like personally. What i refer to 'sympathy' here is maybe there is a reason why her initial friend who offer her the place then changed mind. Anyway, my point is we ourself could help ourself or create problem for ourself.
@@lialia3796 I couldn't agree more ! 🤯
@@lialia3796 When people are scared and distrusting they hit out. Eileen is on the street, the state has taken her belongings and trashed her memories, they’ve not helped her back up. This pandemic has compounded the homelessness and poverty issues. I don’t agree with her view on masks but I can understand why she’s angry and wants to figuratively flip the bird to the establishment. Why should she give a flying fig when she clearly feels no one gives an F about her 🤷🏻♀️ You can see the negative cycle... and there are many many more Eileens out there. You have to break it somehow and gain trust to move forward... it’s basic human psycho dynamics.
She is right that affordable housing is not affordable.
Right it should be called unaffordable housing
@Derrick Klone Shut up Liberal
Adrian Vargas ah yes but when states want to build new affordable housing in good areas for cheap trump says it's just gonna bring criminals 😂
What GOOD is a $550,000 home (a+ starter ) when your children , their friends - your parents are homeless ?
@ A Long - yes
Being homeless at 61 that would be just horrible. Being homeless at any age is horrible but 61 my goodness.

There are people older than her,who are homeless, because rents are too high and utilities.
This women is great so down to earth please give this lady a chance
I agree.
A society who doesn't take care of its orphans and elderly is doomed.
She's homeless because she's clearly got a screw loose. She could easily not be homeless.
No screw lose, you try living on 1000.00 a month! Horrible situation . A small loan for a used little van would be the safer route if you can keep the payment to a couple hundred dollars. A huge percentage of people are living in cars and vans because the cost of living is out of control it’s called inflation! Buckle up because with the Government and the Fed Res printing money like crazy it’s going to get much worse!
different cities have different societies
The need one, the orphan and the elderly - exactly Jesus' words.
A lot of people have a lot of opinions that are sitting in the Comforts of their nice homes when the majority of you don't know what it's like to live on $1,000 a month and you sure wouldn't know how to be homeless but you sure do know how to judge one just ridiculous the nerve of some people
All the homeless are not substance abusers.
Not all but a majority!!
it's an excuse for the fortunate ones to label homeless people addicts
this channel shows that politicians and the reach are to blame
@@magdaty1815 Magda how can you totally blame the government and the wealthy for the homeless problem. Some of them don't want to go to shelters because they are drug and alcohol free. People need to take a certain amount of responsibility for their own lives!!!

Affordable Housing is designed to situate workers (the workforce) near their jobs.

Unfortunately, she will probably remain homeless forever.
There is such little respect for the elderly here in the US 😞
There’s no respect for anything other than money. From the sounds of her mask tirade her level of respect for others relatively low as well.
To Drink_Emma: the US has no respect for anyone who isn’t rich or famous
That's very sad.
Same here in the UK

@@terriprobst4680 As a former landlord the biggest problem I ran into when extending any extra kindness or helping hand they always turned on me. Just listen to how she talks about building code standards and fire codes. My gosh at the drop of a hat she will sue a landlord. Seems to me she don't mind the streets. If it were me on the streets needing a hot shower and a safe place I wouldn't complain at all. In fact I would hug and kiss anyone that would rent to me. This woman is too head strong and way too demanding. I would never rent to her intitled ass. And you are only looking for a world of trouble here. Just listen to her and ask yourself do you want legal issues? Because she will sue you in a heart beat if the battery in the fire alarm beeps or the thermostat is a bit off ect. Ect. You got a good heart but your going to get burned by people like this. And fyi: the courts always weigh in favor of the renter. So get ready for big problems. She does not seem humble at all.
America needs to take better care of it's elderly, homeless, and mentally ill.
We could do that easily if we were to stop helping so many people in other countries and stop wasting so much money being the World's policemen.
Yes AMERICAN should be helping ALL ELDERLY, VETERANS, HOMELESS FAMILIES and Mentally ill.
@Heart Haven So true. Your heart is in the right place. You are wiser than many people that I have met.
If I were her I would move to Greece and rent a place for €350 and have a fantastic life I don’t know what she’s doing in the United States doesn’t make sense
But America won't because our country is fucked up
Love, love, love this woman. She's very logical and understanding of economics. She is right, affordable housing is a scam. Renter pays 1/3, tax payer pays 2/3 for over inflated housing.
All housing prices are inflated
Yes. They figure out how much they can charge a person at their max they can probably afford, knowing the government will pay them double what you charge the renter. So they can get $900 total for an apartment that MIGHT be worth the $300 the person pays. I'm betting it's healthier living in a tent. It's not rodent filled, bug infested, mold ridden in a tent like "affordable housing". Then the area is usually not safe either.
She knows the whole scam. Affordable housing is not affordable. And the $700/mo won't rent to her. private apt. She knows it. I hate affordable housing. A nonprofit renovated a couple buildings in my neighborhood-- millions of rehab and people were thrown out of the cheap apts. Now you have to apply and attend financial lessons to get one of these apartments, taking it out of the private market. They have better landscaping than my apt. It stinks.
Yes, she’s right about it! But surely a “not-so-nice” place in affordable housing (with heat, running water & a lock) is better than living in a tent in the winter. I don’t get it.
I think she wants to be homeless.
This lady is amazing.
Knows what's really going on in this world.
God bless her.
There is no reason that we should have elderly people living on the street in the USA.
So do something about it
No money for taking care of people but billions spent to support lockdown measures across the country. We keep feeding the States to lock us down and harass us with mandatory tests to work ( yes! Where I work! ) and then cut us all a puny check that barely pays one month rent.
Thanks good ole 🇺🇸

My mom is her age and she said she would be in trouble if she didn't have savings. Her retirement is poverty wages and she worked as a teacher for 25 years!

Ya thats inflation. That's what happens when the government spends a bunch of money like crazy. And everyone on here is liie the solution is dumping shit tons of money on the needy

I have friends who also lost all of their possessions due to a "homeless service" throwing them away. Certificates of education, social security paperwork, etc. That's just cruel. And you're supposed to be helping... they should be ashamed of themselves. I hope their conscience wakes them up.

Love this woman and fully agree with her !!
Praying for all our homeless.
These videos should be sent to ever congressmen and Senator and then they should look into the housing problem and fix it. All TV channels should show these videos and let people know what is happening to our homeless. It’s such a tragedy. We let Thousands of immigrants in and give them everything, yet we can’t take care of our people who need help.Shame on us!!!
Praying is fine, giving selflessly is better. Can the hunan race understand this? I think not!
I agree but lefties tppoliticians and rhino ones don't care they want free and cheap labor and Democrat voters is why they want all these illegals and immigrants here.
here in the philippines we do everything to calm grandmothers and not to let them suffer outside.
Yes! Some people have made their bed with their families and some prefer to be alone. Some have been kicked out due to issues with drugs and alcohol, and prefer to be on the streets. But this woman, she WANTS to be independent in shelter. Where are her children? Maybe she gave up on family for a reason. I LOVE the extended families living together and watching over each other. This country is not good with taking care of their elderly or disabled family members at ALL!! They send them off to live in a ROOM with someone they don’t know where strangers take care of them that don’t love them. It’s a horrid and evil thing to do to a loved one. I’ve seen it done and ask myself about how someone could drop someone off and not look back. It’s horrible and so damned sad.
Did she say she had children? I didn’t hear any mention of them, only her mother. Some people don’t have much family to begin with.
Lmao just because she's an older lady, don't assume that she's had kids because that is a little sexists. Not all woman have lives where they have kids or yearn to do so. Tbh, I think randy visitacion meant that if other societal members in the Philippines see an elderly lady like this outside, they go more out of their way to take care of her, to help her, and to help her feel more peace, comforted, and cared for than what Americans do

@@MaloureTV What’s your solution? Are you going to build housing for free?
@@aznbspikey Housing isn't free. Someone always has to pay. Everyone wants the government to take care of the problems that most people caused themselves. They just assume the government prints more and more. The tax payers are already paying a lot of money in taxes just to support themselves and their family.
@@erniebell1858 When you say 'tax payers' you're talking about yourself, but you're also talking about people like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk who pay almost no tax. Tax them properly, and we'd have plenty of money to build plenty of FREE housing for vulnerable people. It's literally that simple, anybody that tells you otherwise is either rich, or more likely convinced by rich people to act against their own interests.
@@jimmysmickles7598I agree but those people are smart enough to find a loophole. New York tried to greatly raise the tax on some of the very rich. They also planned a budget on the taxes that they would receive. Then suddenly, several of the very rich moved out of the state. There went their planning and the taxes that some rich people.
Some rich people do pay a large amount of taxes. I do admit that there is a lot of corruption and a lot of the times it is caused by politicians from both sides.

Invisible People has a website (in the description). I would think they can contact her for you. It would be worth a try.
I was homeless for 3 years. From age 69 until 73. I did live in a small car. I agree about some of the public housing. I live in an apartment that is funded by private corporations, federal government, grants, etc. I had an excellent social service agency. Instant housing is almost impossible because there are too many homeless and not enough housing. Unless she changes her attitude about a mask during this pandemic, I doubt that anyone would rent to her. Here in Austin, where I live there is a very steep fine for not wearing a mask during this pandemic.
I feel so bad for this lovely woman. Our government is heartless. Make it really affordable for homeless to find peace and a place to call home. We are all so vulnerable.
Omg My heart aches for this lady. Lord I pray she laid back on her feet
Such a great interview Mark. I like how, inspite of your fundamental differences in opinion, you kept the interview flowing. I was speaking to someone the other day about the impact of affordable housing . It's truly a public health issue. Again thank you.
Eileen, if you see this, i'm the same age as you. I'm just getting over losing my life-long possessions too - it's very very hard .
Good ole 🇺🇸
Sending love from NZ, heart-breaking seeing so many people in that situation. Sadly I have seen our wee country go from a land of plenty to a land of greedy. Although not as bad as America, NZ now has an extreme housing crisis, many of my nieces and nephews generation will never own a home....just finding a house to rent is difficult enough. Rents have gone through the roof and many motels are at full capacity with people unable to find a home. Storage is hard to find so many have to give up what little they have. I'm 50 this year, how times have changed. All the best to you x
Me too. I'm educated, worked hard my entire life, saved and lived frugally but due to illness and a huge ripoff scam I've lost everything. Its difficult being elderly and poor.
This lady say it as it is. I love her fighting-spirit. I'm sad that she's in that predicament tho
Her personality is probably at least part of the reason she's in the predicament that she's in(*_*).
Absolutely unthinkable-! This should NEVER EVER happen, period.
I hope she gets help soon. Pennsylvania winters are harsh, I grew up there.
America! Please, wake up! She is so right about everything.
The housing crisis is getting worse. Greed got us to this point, in our declining economy. Technology is changing the way we do business now. Retail jobs r obsolete. Malls r a waste of money. Online shopping is a hot potato. Our future is more unemployment, and a rising cost of living. For people who live in basic housing, like a studio , for around 1200 a month, the shortages r increasing. There will be more collapsed governments, global warming, over population, gentrification, greedy corporations, evictions, and foreclosures. The pandemic has created many more social problems.
Absolutely. The thing that pisses me off is people who complain about homeless camps!! I saw a family of 4 in great looking clothes, their kids playing with toys, holding signs at a intersection light. God.
1200? Try California, where a studio is around 2000 a month.

This woman had her entire life to figure out money and life and she’s got nothing to show for it. Who’s fault is it really? An emergency or life crisis doesn’t cripple you for 60+ years when you’re as articulate and verbally combative as her. Instead of calling bullshit on a virus, she could’ve studied something that brought value to others instead of screenplays that no one wanted to read.

I'm in a completely different situation than this lady, but she is right, there is no such thing as affordable housing. The government would rather you pay interest for your entire life, for the illusion of ownership rather than having houses that people can actually truely afford.

İt's so sad people in America spend so much lip fillers but a homeless can't get some bucks to pay a room rent 😢

A wicked and twisted generation! As Christ Jesus called them.!!
I wonder what her life was before she became homeless. She is very intelligent and articulate.
they are all intelligent and articulate, either Mark cherry picks them, or i don't understand what is going on. Aside of the accountant who seemed to enjoy partying on the streets, the rest are very decent people who one way or another lost their apartments and now they are not given a second chance. why?
She was probably as difficult and hard to live with as she is now
Towards the end she said she was in theatre, acting, writing, and producing
Articulate, but not intelligent. After hearing her vent, I think she's the problem. I mean seriously, if she's do fkn smart, why is she homeless?
@@starynights9769 even if that’s true what’s your point?
This is one of the most important channels on UA-cam.
We have an extortionist housing/rent situation. No one can save or spend. We need low cost solutions across the board that completely replace the old model. Housing should be as affordable, efficient and abundant as possible. No tax payer or government dimes, just efficient housing by design that meets the demand at a far lower cost, replacing the old extortionist model. Everyone from college kids to homeless would benefit. Most people's purchasing power is wasted on trying to survive with the majority going to rent. All businesses would benefit as all the money saved would flow into every part of the economy.
Agree! I think when the pandemic passes and how business and economy is effected...things will need to be done differently to bring back thw economy...old way is extinct. MY HOPE is that in areas with land....more tiny home communities and incentives for people to start home business. And in the cities to take abandoned buildings and warehouses and amp up developing them into apartments with a businesses on the first floor.
Thank the democrats for all of that.
We are commodities in every way here in America.

When you make it back to Utah, the homeless problem has gotten quite worse again in the last 8 months specifically. Cold snap as well, we went out last night to hand out sweatshirts and tents ⛺️
I am always so curious about the homeless people's family. Don't they have any family to help them? It's so heartbreaking to see older people that are homeless. I hope she gets the $700 apartment with paid utilities.
Classic overplayed question ,” Don’t they have family or parents to help ?” Nope strong no, not all family is true not all family is family. Sometimes one stranger is more family than someone who claimed they loved or cared for years, and all just for them to be greedy and kick people out their own people, so no.
Not all family is good, it’s always a messy long story in most cases, family can cut good family members off making them homeless, but not in all cases. But I’m most of the cases these homeless people’s” family” misunderstands them and their needs .
This is a snippet of this person's life. You don't know anything about her mental health, you don't know anything about the relationships she's broken, we don't know anything about her. A lot of people have a large ego and would never call their family for help.

She does not take the attention off homeless issues by talking about masks . She shared the impact on her as a homeless person. The forced policies related to this virus have destroyed economies and lives and have no scientific validity.
Amen !😕
I feel for her. She should go to the smaller communities not another city. My family lives in rural PA they take care of people.
I used to live in Carlisle which is only 30-40 mins away from Harrisburg. She'd prob be better off there 😞
I can and will be an advocate for the homeless, I've been homeless and on the streets.i slept under the roof of a church in the winter in very bad conditions no blankets, I used the church's welcome mats to stay warm/ dry. I walked around with no shoes on my feet and sometimes I had urinated on myself because I had no toilet. But prayer does work and I prayed that God would help me and he did!. I've been in a place now for 8 months.I am clean dry and safe and I wish the same for Ms.Eileen and her friend and everyone who is homeless and struggling. I will 🙏 for them.
Well said! I also pray for the homeless and that's the reason why I watch these videos so I know whom to pray for. May God always protect the homeless 🙏 and give the housing people willing hands to help the homeless
@gullars83 That is true. Our society defines success as leaving your family to go " Do you "
Amen! GOD will provide. JESUS is my rock! Enjoy your home. I'm homeless now. Pray for me.
@@meljohnsonactor3853 😢🙏
Yes prayer works.
By the way,
Why do u say her comments are false? She is saying the absolute truth.
Because he doesn't want to lose his "Hanes" sponsorship/contract. Every video is free advertising for HANES socks, and then the youtube revenue. All about the Money. Event 201, Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, W.H.O. and Johns Hopkins University. CORONA is Fake, power grab, disaster capitalism.
They are absolute OPINION. That you agree doesn't mean they are 'truth".
CURVYGIRLZROCK how judgemental first walk a mile in her shoes
Sad I hope this lady gets a nice place to stay no one deserves to be on the streets ... definitely a HARD life and it's really a cold world we live in and we live in the richest country yet we have a huge homeless problem
Oh Mark bless you re the mask 😓 This whole Covid situation must add so much stress/anxiety/ confusion to the already bewildering experience of homelessness. Eileen’s frustration is palpable. I hope there is some way to help her back to Rhode Island or at least find shelter in Harrisburg.
@Avery Breaux This sounds like complete BS. The lady would do herself a great favor if she started wearing a mask. I have never heard of anybody dying from wearing a mask.
@Avery Breaux You clearly don't know what you are talking about. All around the World people are wearing masks. I live in Denmark, and we have a government who actually believes in scientists. But if you think superspreader Trump knows everything, you should follow a program on Trump University. Btw maybe you should wonder why Trump is so keen on promoting hydroxychloroquine and now also degeneron.
@@troelskristensen7448 who is talking about Trump besides you?
@Avery Breaux Try telling that to the Japanese. Japanese have always been a country of mask wearers even pre-pandemic. They are also a country with high longevity attributed to their generally healthier lifestyle, large consumption of fish - omega oils, densely packed nutrients such as seaweed and immune protective vitamin d. They have grasped and understood early on the protective effects of mask wearing and social distancing (they bow and don’t greet with touch) that you protect others by wearing one especially the elderly. Japan with a population of 127 million has recorded only 1,635 deaths!! Economically they are forecast to come out of this terrible situation as one the strongest because they have been quick to adapt and as a result keep things going. Ultimately getting through this thing will be down to protective measures individuals can take for themselves and collective action. I suppose only time will tell which stance is right but in the meantime I choose to pay heed to the medical and healthcare professionals who advocate that it’s in our best interest to wear a mask.
@@troelskristensen7448 What are you talking about people all around the world don't wear mask's all the time I work with a guy who was in China during the sar's and almost no one had a mask on. Some reading for you and one video

Are there any updates on Eileen? Thank you
This is OUR future America. Don't let this happen to you!
My heart goes out for this lady. All her life she worked hard and at this age she cannot find a place to live. What happened to all the tax people have been paying??
Retirement! People have this thing that social security is going to be their end all be all. Social security is only to supplement what you have saved for retirement.
If you don’t have any now, start Laddering CDs, start a Roth IRA and so forth. Put your money to work for you. This way when you retire, you can be set.
I am in a total agreement with this sincere lady. She is impressive , and everything she stated is real. I own property in South Haven, MI have 2 homes on 20 acres. The 1 smaller dwelling is a studio, that I will remodel this summer. If I would find this sweet lady, I would allow her to reside in the studio apt. rent free, I said free. The only thing she’d pay for is her low utils. which are very cheap. I say this because of this lady’s honesty, My Best to this honest person. Roland
This is some ones sister, mother, aunt, cousin. Friend!
Dear US of A!
You need to change your political system!!
Your society have become so effing inhumane!!! We are all humans, we need to
take care of ALL citizens!!!
Never lose genuine solidarity!!
Respect human rights!!
we know. most would love to change our political system. easier said than done.
Of course, I know!
But the normal working
people do have 'the power' to change society! And all those years some people live homeless, most take their toll in a not so nice way! The financial resources exist!
I it is just in the wrong hands....same problem here in Denmark, just on smaller scale.
The times should be 'a changing'....Old song you know!!😏
Nah..
1) Just keep voting for the better of the losers.
2) Keep paying the taxes to feed the overpaid government officials.
3) And be a puppet to count for the corporation's profit.
YES! And the KEY to doing that is NOT VOTING FOR CAREER POLITICIANS THAT HAVE ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING IN 47 YEARS BUT MAKE THEMSELVES RICH.
America is not listening
Sorry Mark, this woman was on point, she's brilliant and more people should be open minded to what she says about the pandemic!
👍
Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are different things fyi monoxide is from your car..dioxide is what you exhale
@Rob Matt lol why did they work for all the other countries?
@@HarmlessComment I don't have context for whatever he said but it seems you won
@@HarmlessComment there's a supposed increase in cases so are the masks working?
you know what she meant
Thank you! I said the same. There are different gases. If you’re going to be very strong in your convictions, at least know what you’re talking about.
She deserves to be heard. Love from IL.
I would rent to her, she sounds like a very honest and likeable person. I hope she find something soon!
I feel blessed that I am able to get affordable housing next month, videos like this make me feel grateful.
Prayerful that she gets that apartment and things work out for both her and her friend. Love her fierceness🔥 stay strong Eileen🙏🏽
I'm from here! I volunteer with the church a few blocks from where she's sitting, my home church's sister church, Market Presbyterian Church. These are the kindest people in the world, they warm your soul. Thankfully this church offers people showers, meals, and prayer. Unfortunately they only have a winter shelter for under freezing. :(
I hope to help them more and more every day. Volunteering has blessed my life. I'm so grateful for clean water, a warm home, family. Our downtown is on a riverfront!!! It gets freezing cold. Please pray for these people in Jesus name. Amen.
How sad! Give that woman her life's work back.
Why can't American homeless people get the same help with housing and benefits as the refugees ???
🤔
@Coral Islands
Biden is senile and communist, which says it all.
In addition, he is friends with the whole communist patras like Clinton, Obamarama.
Trump has done everything he promised in the last election.
Why can't homeless people get help instead of giving the billions of dollars to the billionaires?
Oh gosh you tRump cult fools who have no information and swallow the ttRump.propaganda hook line and sinker. Trump is an utter failure as a president and human being. And I have a strong feeling that in a few weeks, we'll all say goodbye to him like this: Bye Don
Get it? Biden Harris 2020 💙💙
My Thoughts Exactly 💯
@Matt Joyce Well why don't we wait and see huh?
Thank you 🙏🏽 for sharing. I wish your wishes come true🧡
I have a friend who moved to Mexico and lives on his minimal Social Security. There are lots of good and cheap places there.
Agree to disagree on the mask. I have lung and heart disease but I do wear a mask to protect myself and others while I'm out. I'm not going to judge someone who chooses not to wear one. Maybe head down south to some of the warmer states. They trashed all her memories. Bless her heart. Thank you for giving people a voice.
🌹
yes we are all entitled to our opinions..the day we r not allowed to use our voice will be a sad day..look how we r all being controlled now..good for her to say how she feels
if we d'ont wear mask we are not allow to enter in buildings,bus,foods market .. they call the police to arrest you! so put the mask do what you have to do and get out fast! i don't go anymore in mall shopping centers since coronavirus! i go in independant stores!
@Michelle M. Science is not opinion. Wear a mask, wear a seat belt, don't drive drunk. Sorry if your " freedoms" are hurt. 😷
Carolyn:Science is your God.
This lady is amazing. 100% agree. Hope she finds a nice place to live.
I kind of felt bad for her, especially after saying she moved and her room rental didn't work out.. then she opened her mouth about the virus and went on a rampage about everything. Now I know why her room rental didn't work out, her roommate probably didn't want to die of Covid.
.. Although she's completely right about affordable housing, it's a huge scam.
She's right. She's, having a "rampage"because it's driving us ALL fkn mad watching you idiots fall in line over a 99.7 blah blah survival rate. Wake up!!! MASKS are an absolute JOKE. Do some research. Water drolets? lol please. .. More than USELESS!! You CLEARLY have no idea.
@@nephilangel Well then, the next time YOU get the flu, don't go to the hospital, don't take medicine, etc. Lets see how much of a "joke" it is, over water droplets. I'm glad I won't be one of those people you spread the flu to. And, that's the flu. Before factoring in Coronavirus.
@@jasongates- i dont ever get the flu genius, because i know how to stay healthy. Stay away from hospitals, they are dangerous places. And if i do get an infection i stay home and take care of myself. Because that's what you are supposed to do when you get unwell... Duuhh?
If she's everything you want her to be ; could you spare some empathy then ?

Theres a saying that a lot of us are 2 paychecks away from being bankrupt and ending up in a similar situation its just sad that someone of this age can end up homeless with the current services systematically against them
Yes yes yes I love this old lady I wish I could afford to help her out but I can barely afford keep my own life going. This old lady is 100% real talk. We need more people like this in America.
How to get in touch with them? I may have some affordable housing , back on east coast.
"0:56" "and winter is coming"
This is 21st century UNITED STATES. It's not the 1400s. Seriously??? This is ridiculous.
It looks like things are going backwards and I can’t see it changing anytime soon ! Scary 😕
Such a smart, vibrant lady. I'm so sorry, Eileen!
