Thats heart breaking
Please let us know if there is any way we can help Kasha/Allia or other families that have been affected in this way. It’s too heartbreaking to just watch with no way to help.

I worry about the children who are living in unsafe home conditions with abusive parents or siblings with no escape.
I hope this little girl and her mum's circumstances improve so that they can be as safe and healthy as possible.

People like to demonize the homeless without realizing that at given time 100s of thousands of children in America don't have a home. Their parents are often single or have fallen on hard times and struggling despite their best efforts.
People who are experiencing homelessness aren't a monolith and too many people don't take the time to feel empathy for them.

You could "pray" for help, or people could finally start actually doing something about it.
Paying instead for praying would definetly provide a tangible solution.
@BayAreaEASports I did not donate anything. I don't live in the United States. I live in a country where families with children are guaranteed to receive their own apartment, free healthcare and financial support, regardless of the parent's employement status.
The concept of prayer to address issues is a strategy that only helps politicians, because this way they don't have to deal with citizen's demands. The cold, hard truth is that you don't evoke change by talking to walls. I don't mean to insult any religious folks here, but you have to avoid situations like these, where incorporating personal beliefs causes harm to those in need of actual help.
She is so precious!!!
@@komentierer we struggled to have a place of our own but ur country seems like a Nice place...
how about you take her in? your prayers are hollow.
“We don’t know if we can get to go to school.” It breaks my heart that so many students hate school and celebrate it being out while Allia and others like her are vying for a chance to learn and escape their own conditions for hours a day. Education can be the ticket out from not only day to day, but for a different life for these students.
Kids don’t want to go school because of the USA school system learning is supposed to be fun how wouldn’t want to learn how to have a good life?
jacob carballo it’s a feedback loop; we don’t support teachers because we think it’s an easy job, teachers don’t feel supported and thus don’t won’t to teach better, students grow up and dont like education who eventually always dislike teachers, not voting for things that would support them. We always put our money with what we socially value. Other countries that are massively ahead of our education system in the US treat teachers like gods and pay them amazingly. A starting teacher in the U.S. would almost be better off working at a restaurant.
school really sucks tho and the teachers don't teach, they just give us homework assignments and test & quizzes. You clearly know nothing about the schooling system nowadays 🙄
Alexander Appea you’re making it seem like every school is like that

Why doesn’t the shelter allow internet?
Because then lazy people would go to shelters and use their phones/ iPads for free internet all day, eat free food and process repeats
Maybe to protect people who maybe leaving abusive homes from being tracked or contacted by their abuser?
So they don’t become coomers
Exactly. And no one in this comment section is giving a clear answer
Probably to help those leaving abusive family members or spouses. They can’t get tracked down I guess.
If being homeless is not hard enough, imagine having a kid as well
In my state, the schools provide laptops with a wireless modem to connect to the internet for the students who do not have a laptop and internet
Yeah my state schools are giving iPads/Tablets with LTE data to students to don't have a computer and internet at home

Baldoxxx4000 Politicians won’t do anything. We’re too far gone and they’re too corrupt. Direct action, mutual aid and revolution are the only ways we can save these people.
Name a third world country that can provide a 2 trillion dollars package to its people. Moron.
Family shelters probably don't allow the internet to make it harder for women to be contacted by their abusers, or in-turn, make it more difficult for them to to make contact with their abusers in moments of weakness. It's not that outlandish.
My internet is getting me through this here in the nursing home I live in here in Canada.

That is scary. no kid should have to worry about that.
She's a smart one. You guys should have set up a GoFundMe for her
@Brian because the money actually needs to make it to her. I'm pretty sure the reporter who did the story could arrange for it.
that's not how journalism works.
It's a shame she need a GoFundMe in the Richest Country in the World, yet their citizens and children are homeless and still rely on donations. So many billions spent on bombs... What a waste!
@@TheMegaTheseus the consequences of building up several countries, across the world. I'm pretty sure its just the bad economy though not the military spending, but military spending is a bit excessive I agree. A bad economy will help future generations avoid the mistakes of their predecessors though, so I think it's better to be poor and learn something than to be rich and be spoiled.
@@TheMegaTheseus actually its not the richest country in the world XD
What kind of world have we created 😢 my heart is breaking watching this
Mom of two
We created an amazing world. To think that 20 years ago 90% of Africa was in abject poverty and today its 10%, that 100 years ago the poverty rate of the WORLD was 60% higher than it is today. That 120 years ago, children all over the world had to work because of how poor everyone was...that 140 years ago homelessness was rampant all over the world...300 years ago, there was almost no middle class outside of Europe, which had a tiny middle class...500 years ago you were either dirt poor, or rich with the worlds poverty rate at over 90%.
The world is awesome outside of the over-privileged with too much time on their hands that they spend on telling everyone how horrible things are.
It kills me what these people have to go through. That little angel girl. I can't.
Well, this was absolutely heartbreaking. That little girl is hilarious and incredibly smart. Imagine what she could do with the opportunities and tools other students are given... I live in a mid-sized city in NJ, not far from NYC, and we have a pretty high homeless population, especially after a court case made it legal to panhandle here as long as you don’t verbally ask, but you can use a sign. I’m a drug & alcohol counseling student, and I’ve lived in this city for over 10 years so I’ve befriended quite a few of them, and I can’t stop thinking about them. I wish there was something I could do. How many empty apartments or houses are there right now? Call me crazy, but I don’t think they’re going to be sold anytime soon. I heard they’ve already done this in CA I think. It’s pretty obvious to me that we should do this all the time, but hey. What do I know.
That's what y'all get for voting Democrat. Failure after failure. Vote Republican next time and you won't have this problem anymore.
@@wthwasthat8884 You have it backwards you dummy!!...SMH Imagine how profoundly stupid you have to be to believe that Traitor Trump is actually smart.

"In the 2016-17 school year, 1.4 million students (ages 6 to 18) experienced homelessness.
Most students experiencing homelessness were doubling up with other families during the 2016-17 school year (75 percent), while others were in shelters (15 percent), hotels/motels (7 percent), or were unsheltered (4 percent).
In 2017, most children and youth experiencing homelessness who were unaccompanied were 13 to 17 years old (87 percent), while a disproportionately high number of all children in federally-funded shelters were infants (under age 1) and young children (ages 6 and younger)-10 and 45 percent, respectively."

Public libraries are your best friend. Trust me I know from experience. They provide warmth, space and usually free internet. But in this pandemic crisis libraries are closed, so try to see if there is any spot nearby where you can feel protected from the cold and still get their WIFI signal
You can always get connected next doors but sadly they might not open to you during the pandemic.
are the libraries open?

Yeah everything is closed because of that stupid mayor.

Why doesn't the shelter allow internet????????😠😠😠😠
Certainly tragic, but mom seems perfectly capable of getting a job. Perhaps flip a few burgers and work on relocating to a city that doesn't charge $2500 a month for a studio apartment? Why anybody in financial trouble would want to remain in New York City is beyond me. There are plenty of places to go where your poor daughter wouldn't be stuck on the street... You just have to be willing to make the effort.
When we have so many luxury apartments sitting empty/unsold and families living in cramped shelters, this is a DISGRACE! I'm heartbroken. How can we help Allia and others in her situation?
@Sofia Zahra
You can help prevent this situation by telling people to stop popping out babies unless they can afford to provide them with food, shelter, AND medical care.
Sameer S sometimes that’s not the case, they probably had a place to live and were stable years ago. We don’t know their situation.
Its really sad to watch these clips. Seeing so many people suffering I pray for things to be all right real soon.
This is girl is so much more mature and intelligent compared to the college students who went to FL for spring break.
She is so pretty and smart
Poor Little Girl. She's so happy and full of life. I hope her safety net never gets upaet.
I wish we could financially support this little girl directly.
I'm in my 30s, worked steadily since I was 15, still don't make a lot of money, always wanted kids - I have NONE.
