Homeless People Living in Freezing Cold in Ithaca's Tent City, The Jungle

- Only moments after walking into Ithaca's infamous homeless camp known as The Jungle, we learned of a homeless woman who had severe burns from trying to put out a fire the night before. When she came out of the shack they were living in, you could see how the fire burned through the layers of clothes she was wearing on her arm and leg. The woman is screaming in pain.
Luckily, Deb and Carmen were there to help. There was also an outreach worker from the Department of Social Services, but he didn't have a vehicle. Deb took the young woman to the emergency room where she was treated and later released.
This all might seem a little odd to ordinary folks, but Carmen and Deb are not typical. They are not social workers. They are not even volunteers. They are simply concerned citizens doing what they can to help their homeless neighbors.
Deb's husband is a dentist. The original plan to start the day was Deb was going to outreach with us and then drive a few of their homeless and formerly homeless friends to get dental work done. Compassion to help people is deep-rooted in both Carmen's and Deb's families!
Others are part of the Ithaca Homeless Crisis Community Group [ / 869415259888079 ] doing what they can to help the homeless people living in shacks and tents. Still, there are not enough people and not close enough resources to support all the people who need help.
Ithaca is a rural community in Upstate New York. Although the cost of housing is high, the funding for social services you'd see in a larger city is not available. There literally is no place for all of the homeless people to go to get the help they need.

About Invisible People
There is a direct correlation between what the general public perceives about homelessness and how it affects policy change. Most people blame homelessness on the person experiencing it instead of the increasing shortage of affordable housing, lack of employment, a living wage or the countless reasons that put a person at risk. This lack of understanding creates a dangerous cycle of misperception that leads to the inability to effectively address the root causes of homelessness.
We imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home. Each day, we work to fight homelessness by giving it a face while educating individuals about the systemic issues that contribute to its existence. Through storytelling, education, news, and activism, we are changing the narrative on homelessness.
This isn’t just talk. Each year, our groundbreaking educational content reaches more than a billion people across the globe. Our real and unfiltered stories of homelessness shatter stereotypes, demand attention and deliver a call-to-action that is being answered by governments, major brands, nonprofit organizations, and everyday citizens just like you.
However, there is more work to be done on the road ahead. Homelessness is undoubtedly one of our biggest societal issues today and will only continue to grow if we don’t take action now.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to educating the public about homelessness through innovative storytelling, news, and advocacy. Since our launch in 2008, Invisible People has become a pioneer and trusted resource for inspiring action and raising awareness in support of advocacy, policy change and thoughtful dialogue around poverty in North America and the United Kingdom.

bless you guys for helping
We have a van called “ a cup of water” that drives around & delivers prepared food water & some supplies to homeless camps in Maui. Believe it or not when we moved camps I called them to let them know where we were & that was a hard time for us we needed their visit.. however they said our area was deemed “ to dangerous “ & will not come to us we even offered to meet them at the road but it was a no. They offered us to come to the office but I have no vehicle & I have kids I’m not going to force to walk miles there & back.
Things have gotten better I am working Fulltime, one kid is getting straight A’s & my 16 yr old is now working too. Still houseless. But we have each other. Wherever we are together is home. There aren’t much resources here. All my kids want is a house & we can’t afford one here w/o help. Not sure if anyone will read this but the impact & importantance of what you guys are out doing is tremendous. It can be life & death. It can also be the only kindness they are showed at all .. ever. 💜 bless!
I believe it's up to everyone to help someone without expecting anything in return If everyone did that there wouldn't be anyone needing anything.unfortunatly the world isn't like that.I want to be one who does something and it starts right here where I live. We have the same thing here people that are homeless, sleeping in cars in the woods.We have to do Something right here where we are that's going to make a difference If you have 2 hands and 2feet and are able we can do something to help!
Being realistic the problem of homelessness is not going to get better, most likely worse. So, I would like to suggest to you a solution to the homeless problem in your immediate area. I have given this problem much research in alternative lifestyes and one that looks extremely promising and really cheap to create. Why not build living spaces into the earth. Many people are doing it for several reasons that make a lot of sense to me. You have 25 people on how much landspace and whose land are they on is my first question? If you can embarrass the official society in doing something I think you will get no hassles from the city your in. Because this solution is clean (unsightly) and solves the problem of heat, and serves as permanent housing for the homeless. Here are two videos on UA-cam to watch, search: Dan {Price's underground home and then search Idaho Modern Old timer builds u...d & solar $50 houses. Also, socks are the most important item a homeless person needs. Hope to here back from you. Dan
How can I get in touch with Carmen does he have an email address what how can I get in touch with them I have some ideas
I respect Carmen so much for his action, for his effort, for his words, for his kindness, for his big heart and his endless strenght. Thank you for being who you are.
Amen to that!!!
My husband abandoned me homeless I was homeless a year. Now I got housing and trying to save my son, schizophrenic legally blind. I have a page on Facebook called my schizophrenic son. I wrote a song called Homeless Pain. Thank you for caring. Most don’t.
Sudhir Kakar i was a teen mom so not really
Sudhir Kakar Sir, my husband was an abuser, I am disabled, my song is to give a voice to the homeless. I am an author and artist however it’s not enough to earn a living. I am healing the best I can it took years for my abusive husband to put me here, it going to take time. It took him 33 years of his narcissistic abuse to steal everything I was until there was nothing left of me. Had a tmi (traumatic brain injury) when I was 12. Between the two I am finding life very difficult.
@Sudhir Kakar If this were a man your whole tenor would be different. Pretty hateful is YOUR problem.
I’m glad you have housing now....life can provide so many struggles a lot of unfair ones....thinking about you and your son...I’m going to look up your page. Sending some love from Canada 🇨🇦
Sudhir Kakar really that’s your response to her where clearly she has been handed some struggles....maybe provide some positive feedback instead of blame...so your saying if someone has skills it means they won’t ever end up homeless? Being a homelessness social worker for 22 years I can tell you it’s a nice thought but not true. Everyone is just one or two paycheques away from being homeless
Hello! Mark and Carmen you two are superheroes! Bless you both and all that you do as well as all the people you're taking care of.
I second that!
The guy in the red North Face jacket is very rare in society. He has a genuine concern for these poor people.
And he's gorgeous
@@suesheification yes, he has it all :)
How can I help? Clothes food toiletries.
Better than church people Roger. He indeed is rare. Thank God forever for him.
Tracy Thomas I agree. I’m part of the church, Christ died to establish His church; but I’m (at times) ashamed of the self-centered mentality of my brethren. They are caught up with comfortable lives!
If regular people don't help their community nobody else is going to.
Yes. Was always our responsibility. Not. Govt.
Sad part is most “regular” people are living paycheck to paycheck. Guess I’ll speak for myself.
@@george.s.8491
Most of us are. But we all have stuff we can give away. At least to Salvation Army who Does help them. Good will doesnt so I stopped giving to them. They dont help the community. They pocket the money. Better to give those clothes blankets pillows gloves caps and even furniture and mattresses if they live in tent cities. Lawn chairs. The list goes on that these folks can use. We can all buy a cup of coffee or tea when it's cold a bowl of soup or a bottle of water. Cheap cooler so they can get ice. All sorts of things we already have. Plus if we come together In unity the govt will back off in taking peoples homes. At least it wont matter bc we show them we still have each other regardless what they do.
@Jay Harter
Wow. He did that too ? Thanks I didnt know thst. I never got a tax deduction anyway. Father sees and repays. :)
Yes I agree give straight to the people. God. Bless. You !
@@george.s.8491 Perhaps we are too busy surviving ourselves.
I actually visited “The Jungle” today. Met a man named Chris and his girlfriend. We gave them food, water, clothes, a comforter and other items. They are good people just trying to survive. I’m glad Carmen is out there helping!
Can I get location
just in case I go homeless 😥
Say a prayer for the homeless they are Gods children.
pray harder!!! it may take more than prayer, ACTION NOW!!
Wtf! God’s children? Not really.
@Jay Harter the sarcastic tone gets lost in the text.
I have homeless friends one has been homeless 17 years another 30 years.
But if they Smoke and abuse drugs or substances or live beyond their means tobad no pity me
I wish LOVE and HOMES to all of these people! 💞
Charity is the most honorable attribute of the Holy Spirit you could have and it is beautiful to see you guys in this manner and it's comforting as you can see to the ones you're showing up for which are really the downtrodden and the the meek of the Earth
Wendy Noto remember Jesus preached the word to the homeless prostitues and all
@@americanpatriot3667 well in that case no one should be homeless if you believe in Jesus.
@@truthbtoldwright6411 yahshua was not of this world and neither away he never left us some for circumstance to anything we've been through and what testimony would we have if we don't know the difference between one thing and another Miss Fortune and Fortune
“The Holy Spirit” lol
@@truthbtoldwright6411 JEsus and his disciples walked homeless for there ministry.. Read your bible..
I left a church for the very reason spoken here. It was a very wealthy church with no outreach programs. There were 2 or 3 men on their "benevolence committee" that would have someone that came to the church for help fill out an application and interview them deeper. I felt there should have been a soup kitchen and clothing and food pantry. I was able physically back then. I asked and no one would let me help or listen. Everyone is in their comfort zones in the churches. I am physically disabled from a car accident and can't walk alone. I am not able to do much financially. Every day I pray for God to show me how to help them and dream of creating a tiny village. I was raised in foster care. My biological mother walked up and down peddling pencils. Nothing wrong with that. She's gone now. I wish I had been able to do for her. If I started a tiny village I'd probably dedicate it in her memory. She was a traumatized army nurse veteran. I can't help build. I can't help buy. I do what I can and trust God for it all. People say "they make their choices". No. Many times they don't and if you do anything in Jesus' name, He will multiply it and bless it. I have lived much more trauma than mentioned here. I know what it does. I've lost a son. I've been abused. Spit on. I've been very close to where these are now. I've gone weeks without food, still walk yo work in the freezing cold rain and not have the money to run my heat with no food. I've lived on free saltine packs and butter from food places while others ate. If anyone reading this has gotten this far, please pray for these, for me (I'm crippled now), and do what we can to serve our fellow man as Carmen said. God bless him and Debbie. God bless you Mark. God bless the homeless people. God bless us all.
@Mk do thank you. Very kind.
Cut that defense budget 👏🏸you ain't doing nothing but swatting flies🏸
@@roberthouston8463 is your comment in reply to my comment or the video itself?
Well said, wise words. I'm not religious, but bless you!
Much love and respect and best wishes to you my friend!
Carmen is a legend. The humility of the man is inspirational. We’re in the middle of a homeless crisis here in the UK. Ten years ago you’d be hard pressed to find a single homeless person in my town. Today there are dozens of them.
I watched the video 2 years ago when that couple had just lost their baby. I'm so sorry to hear that she's still out there and that she's been burned. My heart aches every time I c these vids. I'm in Rochester, just a few of hours out of Ithaca. If you know of a tent city in this area and can give me info on it, I will gladly help any way I can. I do take bagfuls of clothes to the Open Door Mission in the city but I know there has to b a camp in Rochester. It's much bigger than Ithaca. There was one and the city came, bulldozed all their tents and had all their belongings tossed in huge loaders and hauled away. It was under one of the large bridges near the river. And they lost everything. I'm on disability and can't go trudging up and down hills but I have a vehicle, funds and time to help those living outside in this freezing New York winter. Again, if u have any info on a camp in the Rochester area, please let me know. God bless you and Carmen for doing what you do. And Carmen is right. So-called "Christians" need to get out of their warm, comfy pews in their big, expensive churches and get out and do what they should be doing. Bless you both 💜
Suggestion, buy sanitary pads, tampons and wet wipes. Give them to the women. They can't get them at food banks or any other charities. Women NEED them.
@@bethklecha5945 Or even better, you can get the resusable cloth pads that you can wash and rewear.
@@Babu-kr3cr sure, they have running water and sinks to wash them in. Of course everyone wants to put their hands all over what comes out from their private parts then eat food😝. Think about it dude.
God bless your heart ma'am
@@bethklecha5945 Thank you for this suggestion!
Kindness still matters.
Bless your helping hands
People like Carmen and Mark restore my hope in humanity
Then why not start doing, what they do ?
@@FrankBarryLuv because I don't have a vehicle or else I would. I take care of my two disabled kids and live in the middle of nowhere. We lived in a hotel for two years to get away from their abusive father. So I'm doing what I can.
@Army of Gogmoron.
I made me feel good also to see Carmen do what he is doing. A man that has his own home own money but a heart for these people before himself. He's not running for office just doing it out of the goodness of his heart..
@@FrankBarryLuveww. What are you doing to help??
You are not a nobody, my friend...you are a true, kind-hearted human being, and that puts you ahead of most anybody...it's a rare quality in our society...if more people were like you, many of our issues would be resolved. Honestly...if people could just be good people, we would all be that much farther ahead.
thank you for helping them today...they helped me 40 years ago...i will never forget
Still respect you, Mark . Bless you!
I work full time but don't earn enough to pay rent. I am not a minimum wage worker but it is still not enough for the ridiculous costs of rent. I have family to care for. We need more affordable housing options, health care, and a living wage.
For starters stay off the internet get a cheaper phone
Where do u live 🤔 Maybe u should relocate ! There's PLENTY of affordable housing without being on section 8 or in HUD ! I've lived in a few different states/cities and moved from the North East to the South for more affordable living and a few other reasons ! Plus Im a single parent of 3 children ! I have been homeless in the past and Im a recovering addict 💪 If I was able to pull through and now living a comfortable, manageable life... ANYONE can ! Our choices are the issue and answer to how we want to live
@@lailanimessina1473 please tell me where they are at??? I can't get on Section 8 can I don't want to be on it. I rather work 3 jobs and sell blood to be on it. For pick up pop cans in my state," sometimes you got to do what you got to do survive in this world but don't break the law..
@@timlangdon6448 I'm living in NC right now but lived in rural Dallas TX (mesquite) and had a 3bdrm house with garage, fenced in backyard, dishwasher etc for $750 a month ! Here in NC I live on a quiet dirt road for $400 a month near Asheville ! 2hrs from Knoxville, 1 1/2hrs from Charlotte, 3hrs from Atl... Its quiet laid back and dont have neighbors up my ass ! I'd never move back up North smh extremely expensive to live up there for no reason
@@timlangdon6448 I have a job with a well known Health Care company... For this area, making very good $$
This video was revelation, “Love Thy Neighbor, the heart of God, how the work is outside of the walls of the church 💔... I salute you Mark, Carmen, and your wife (sorry I forgot her name) ... Blessings, I’m checking myself” praying 〰️🙏🏽〰️ everyone that sees this video will see themselves and so something 😢 for their neighbor ✨❤️✨
Edna Gabriel amen. I am over the hypocrisy everywhere as well. If you lack kindness don’t call yourself a Christian. Some people go to church but don’t read & work the word.
@@madisonhanks2200 So, if people lack kindness can they call themselves Jewish?
@@heatherrose9373 lol haha I've know some pharassess..
Mark, Carmen and Deb are super heroes and amazing peoples !!! Bravo and thank you for helping those homeless peoples out there!
They are the true earth angels of this realmn
@@rogueoblivion3112 Agreed !!!😘👍
You guys are awesome...I'm in upstate New York and it's no joke out here...cold as it gets
I feel awful for the homeless people, Thank God they have Mark. carmen and Debbie
World*
Thank you for deepening my understanding of the hardships people are enduring on a daily basis
Then start doing something !
God bless Deb who took that woman to the hospital, and Carmen and Mark as well, all amazing people with big hearts!
This is a shame in Ithaca NY! I live about an hour's drive away. Everytime I've visited there the people were living good, in beautiful homes... there is definitely money there and NO ONE should be suffering like this in this brutal cold!!!
Thank you for helping the people there. God bless.
It's what happens when your country spends 70% of its expenditures on the military, Carmen.
The deregulation of everything. Hard P*rn Capitalism.
Carmen, you are f-ing awesome.
@Sudhir Kakar
Oh fck off with your nonsense.
I'll not even spend my precious time on that.
@Sudhir Kakar IDIOT. The military is the NO 1 money making industry in the U.S. Are you even from here?
This has nothing to do with the funds spent on military.
@catothewiserSECOND BIGGEST MONEYMAKER IS THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY.
@catothewiser Where did u get the idea I think it's a bad thing? I'm just calling it like it is.
This man Carmen inspired me to go out and help the homeless. I thought i needed someone else with me but all i needed was Christ Jesus. I have been out a few times with Jesus and my backpack full of supplies. I now look froward to helping whenever i get free time, also whenever in passing. May God continue to bless this man.
You guys are angels,God bless you
Love it... Just DO SOMETHING!
Suggestion, buy sanitary pads, tampons and wet wipes. Give them to women. They NEED them. No food banks or other organizations give them.
Never thought of that like a tent as your home and you got to respect that like someone coming to your house unannounced
Mark I saw you and Carmen on my Google News feed this morning here in Hamilton Ontario. I know that you were here a bit ago. Love you, your channel, and the small miracles you perform. You have a good heart sir, and I just wish there were more like you out there. You have inspired me to give back also. Keep on keeping on brother!
You and Carmen are doing gods work ❤ I love you both and hope you stay blessed 🙏🏻
Thank you Mark for bringing attention to all these issues with so much compassion and allowing people to have a voice and tell their story.We all need to do whatever we can in our respective communities to end this homeless crisis,we need decent affordable housing,living wages,decent mental healthcare.
Man this video really touched my heart
God Bless your humble hearts!!🙏♥️🙏👏🏼👏🏼😘😘
You may not say but I will, God is using you to be the “hands and feet of Jesus!!”🙏♥️🙏😊
God bless all these people all the homeless and all the Carmen's of the world helping those in need . You are special !!
The poor will always be with us. God bless for helping. Keep praying.
THIS is exactly what its gonna take ..regular ppl who have been doing nothing and HAVE the resources etc to get the homeless BASIC human necessities. Even hoarders IN EVERY CITY could at least give these poor homeless ppl stuff that is just being hoarded. (just a thought) Anyone who has way more than they need and plenty of time and KNOW about those are struggling to this extreme nearby ~it's about time to get out of hiding and take action!! And help your fellow humans. What's it gonna take to motivate y'all? I know there are soo many ppl who do nothing and could easily do SOMETHING. Ignoring the homeless will not make the problem disappear. Colin IS SO RIGHT! How bout keeping the preaching out of it all and just prove what u believe through action.
Suggestion, sanitary pads, tampons and wet wipes. Women NEED them, food banks and other groups don't think about them and don't provide them.
@Army of Gog REALLY????, I don't believe it is not any easier/harder, for anyone, anywhere, to be homeless. Although, women/children are statistically more to become beaten, raped/sexually assaulted.
God bless this wonderful man
It's hard to be optimistic about people caring and making changes when reading some of these negative comments about homeless people. If you don't have anything nice to say, dont say it at all and move on!
@Army of Gog So than help someone else, in need, with those items, you offered to your child. {"smelly bums"}, doubt you have true compassion.
@Army of Gog Maybe YOU'RE the problem. You can say any lie on you tube.
@Karmawaits, I suspect so. I choose homelessness over domestic abuse/neglect, also.
Thank you for sharing your altruism with us Carmen. Much love to you and your wife.
Mark, as you know this is always the most successful video! The Love comes pouring out. I am very grateful and appreciative as a homeless.
20:59, you’re right, brother. Scripture is clear about having a genuine concern for others!
Applause to Carmen and Deb for doing what they do! Let's also give credit where credit is due: Tammy Baker and her colleague from Family and Children Services, Billie Jo & Kate and many others from SJCS, Peter Veintimilla from Tompkins County DSS, you all play a huge role in providing services and supports, but more importantly compassion and empathy to our folks!
I thank God for this man and bless all those people out there
Anyone one of us could be in this situation. You are amazing people!!!🙏🙏.
I am watching ur videos from iraq baghdad Continued sir you are very wonderful
I am sorry to see homeless people in America that we hear that you are the best country in the world
Propaganda. There are many poor who recieve no help with housing. Many of those homes are now occupied by illegal workers from other countries. Isn't that horrible? It's insane. Our democratic party caused this. We hope to try them for treason soon.
FunnyStrange I don't know what your state is preoccupied with
You hear that from the super rich and their cronies in the government who are hoarding all the wealth while everyone else lives hand-to-mouth.
FunnyStrange That is completely untrue. Immigrants are not the source of this country's problems. So please cease your endless immigrant-bashing.
What two good men and the guy in the red you are somebody a very handsome blessed man
And God bless you for reaching out
*donating again to second wind cottages* I stress that everyone should! Bless carmen, deb and mark and everyone else helping!!!!
God bless you all for all your doing
Guy in the red has a big heart god bless him for all he does
Carmen you are somebody stop saying that You are GODS GIFT to these men and women you are a kind loving intelligent man....stop saying you are not you are so much more than most of the people in this country....You should be blessed so much and I hope you are thank you sir for helping those who are in need ....You are so loving and kind
That is so true! We can all help in some way. Thanks for being beautiful ❤️
Thank you so much for all your hard work. "Do something" are words to live by.✌💗🌎

You’re a good man t do these videos and bring awareness to the plight of the Homeless. It breaks my heart to see these ppl living in tents ⛺️
It would be great if Carmen and his family could be hired (Federal and Private funding) to build Second Wind Cottages throughout the United States.

I don't know that telling a location is helpful.
Might not be.
@@stevengonzalez27
Sadly, I agree. We would hope in good faith folks want to go to help. I'm sure the majority are. There Are predators who hunt/hurt homeless folks, so.
Carmen is such a great guy. Keep it up man, love you.
Thank u guys. Im in Phoenix so many here too. God Bless u
Carmen is a weird customer but he’s got a big heart like you Mark. Good to see there’s still good in the world.
Weird?
I honestly wish i could fund housing for these folks .. Dr Mount
This is a good reminder there are still great people out there! Let’s all be do-gooders.
Thank you for what you do
Man i love this channel and the people you interview. Great work man. I pray for all the homeless. I have been there before myself. I can really relate to some of the people you interview
He is so right about trauma and being stuck in the church walls! What a great example! And the city councils are the road blocks to housing many people
I’m going to do my part! Give out gently used clothing. Etc.
Brian Kay Thank You! And Yes God does. This is just the beginning..change starts with us!.
If you ever see the after math of a bum camp you wouldn't, they soil the clothes and leave them to rot or be cleaned up by the city.
That's commendable. If only one person out ten, did their part, we could make a significant impact and save some lives.
It’s affordable housing these people need as clothes and food they can always get , this is unacceptable in such a well of country:
Respect bro💚🌹 for what you doing for the needy people. .bless you star. .from uk✌
Thank you for sharing and caring 💕💕💕
you guys are awsom we love yall so uch we are down for the moment but we should be back up in spring of 2021...yall be warm...may our father bless and keep yall..
Thank you Carmen❤️
Oh I wish I was there helping you.and loving the people.
Mark you’re Incredible and Carmen is so awesome
I'm very happy to see someone help the people who need it but do be careful.
What happens when homeless people outnumbers the wealthy people? Can government be overturned? Or will complete chaos abrupt? Will the majority take advantage of the minority? If fear ever prevents the poor people from being helped, is there any hope? And now these three still exist faith, hope and love but the greatest of these is love. We all need to focus on love. Love conquers all. 1 Corinthians 13 tells us what love is.
You do beautiful work!
This man is a blessing, God bless you.
Here is the thing , most ppl have no idea this is going on. Thank you for bringing this to light !
God bless this man Carmen and his wife plus invisible people. We need to come together not hate each other. we are all human no matter what color are skin is. STOP THE HATE.
Thank you Carmen
I worked in the er there for 2 years. Ian grateful for your work. Y'all are really doing important work
OH AND SHAME ON THE GOVT AND POLITICS WHO COULD VERY WELL DO SOMETHING AND DONT!! The greatest disappointments in our societies now a days imho!
This what they should be debating about
I agree as far as the government goes but also its not their job to "save" everyone ! YES they NEED to make sure our veterans arent homeless and hungry but also there's A LOT of people looking for sum1 to save them when they should be saving themselves ! All we have in this world IS OURSELVES ! If u cant help urself in most ways.. No one else can 🤷 They need help mentally etc (some) But u can only lead a horse to water... Not make them drink it !
God Bless you Mark!
I love that you guys do this ❤ this is something I want to do for the homeless and hungry in Greenville SC. God Bless you both
The guy in the red hoodie is a LIVING breathing ANGEL.I can't even see im crying happy tears so heavy omg the empathy and compassion and his DRIVE is OUTSTANDING❤i bet hes a Libra
You are truly an inspiration
7:55, “you don’t need any credentials to help the homeless.” How true , brother! Hahahahahaha!
You two are world class gentleman...your comment about “ can you imagine if everyone was like you” your right are world would be a much better place. I have worked with mental health and addictions homelessness for 22 years and everyone has a story...I don’t know many who “choose” to be and stay homeless that’s not how it works...people just need to share heart space with other human beings....
God bless y’all for helping, I’ve been homeless myself 😢
God Bless you both! For the past three year's I have been taking care of my husband who is a stroke survivor. And have not been able to get back out YET to help the Homeless. We have a local organization called "Warm Blessings" here in Elizabethtown Kentucky who fix meals everyday as well as a service to feed the elderly. But by the grace of God go I.........because we can all be put into a situation like this. Keep On Keeping On. Prayer's from Kentucky
Carmen is awesome!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Yeah there was a group of folks near me
Was near me
I kept going out
I spent half a paycheck on tents food and water
Went daily
I was the only one who was helping them
Finally after many phone calls
And news got wind
And they actually got help
Thankfully owner of the property left them stay there
Until media got ahold of it
And they got help
One guy was able to get him an apartment and a job
Now he makes boocoo
And I'm so proud of him!
Thank you for helping.
Beautiful people in this camp. Any of us could become homeless, but not stay homeless.

I am trying to raise awareness ,Mark. I am speaking to people telling them about you , Invisible People /the homeless, etc. I am putting links to you on my social media. I am in my 60's disabled with illness, worked many years in home health care helping the elderly , disabled . Now I am a senior citizen . (I knew the day would come . LOL ) But I am so grateful and praise God the Father I am not homeless and am warm. I live with My 30 year old Son who is high functioning on the Autism Spectrum . Life is not easy. But I still believe God is good and will make a way . But our action IS necessary . Thank you for all you do ! I will do what I can and kept speaking out .
I was homeless due to my rebellion. And disobedience until I got serious with obeying the Lord and that’s when life changed
Amen.
God bless you sir
