    Your voice can help end homelessness. If we do not fix the affordable housing crisis, homelessness will continue to get worse. Click here invisiblepeople.tv/getinvolved to tweet, email, call, or Facebook your federal and state legislators to tell them ending homelessness and creating more affordable housing is a priority to you.

    My grandmother was homeless in Puerto Rico before she met my grandfather. When my grandfather brought her to the United States, she worked her butt off to make sure that her and her family were taken care of. She’s always been the hardest working person I knew. Very soon, she will be able to retire and live comfortably at home. Every human being deserves a fighting chance.

    This is an excellent short film. Its illuminating. It shows how homelessness can start; the value of kindness and support; and how dangerous it is to live out on the street. This film should be shown in schools, annually, from middle school (7th grade), through college and graduate school. This film generates compassionate understanding, and that's a lot.

      3. Never & ever loose hope regardless ...... .
      4. Dont be afraid to seek God 's help and people who may be able to help. There are geniue understanding people in this world

      True there are many causes of homelessness. But don’t deny that drugs, alcohol & mental illness are also causes. Not every homeless person is an addict or mentally ill, same as not every addict/mentally ill person is homeless. But when they are, it adds significantly to problems getting housing & holding down a job.

It's hard to deal with life sometimes but you have to try to make the best of it and I rely on my experience in the military. Talking and listening to other people that has been out here like me(homeless) helps get me through. Society looks down on us homeless but let me ask a question....... Do you really know what that other person has gone through or experienced in life? Don't cast a stone when you live in a glass house yourself....

      It can, and does. My kids and I have been in a one room hotel room for almost two years. My lease ended during covid. I was unemployed because my job shut down, and getting by, but to sign a new lease, my landlord raised my rent & I could not afford it while on unemployment. Putting everything we own in storage and coming here was all I could do. Been living out of a suitcase with the kids (and cats) for far too long. I miss my stuff. I miss privacy. I miss feeling like I am giving my kids what they need.
      It is absolutely soul crushing.

    I was homeless at one point and time. It was my husband, myself, and my dog. We were all living in one car along with all of our backpacks and things we had. But my homelessness wasn't because of drugs, or that I had gotten evicted. Although, with absolutely $0 in our pockets, deciding to leave all the stress away at home, we traveled in a car across the US during a pandemic. I have to say the trip definitely wasn't easy. Being on the streets you'd have to deal with a variety of obstacles: finding changes of clothes, CLEAN socks were such an issue and sometimes you'd have to resort to stealing food... Altogether with not being able to shower up until you panhandled for enough money to get a night's stay at a cheap motel.. It was hard to keep up hygiene, and I myself like to keep very clean when I can. Luckily we weren't without a car, so we were mobile fortunately safer with the whip than out on the street. But having to sleep in a car brought along a whole other set of issues- police, nosy people, and crackheads all at once, so my advice to anyone sleeping in their car right now - park and rides are your best friend. Don't stay at Walmart parking lots. You could either get kicked out or encounter people trying to rob you. Also, try to always carry around pepper spray with you just in case. I remember my husband ended up finding a job up in Sacramento, CA at a restaurant. The employer was so understanding about the situation, but get ready for a rough patch of 2 weeks. Unfortunately we weren't able to keep the job. But to all employers - give the homeless a chance. And to all people who might encounter someone asking for spare change - Don't be afraid to give. It could really help someone out, and in most cases that money isn't going directly to drugs or alcohol if its someone who actually wants the help. I am now writing this in my own house with my husband and dog. I have never felt more proud to have my own little spot. But I never forget all those people who helped me get through living in my car. I hope if you are reading this and you are considered homeless, remember to stay strong and don't give in. God bless whoever is reading this, stay safe!

    10:24 I love that line. That is what I saw when I was homeless and why I walked away from the shelter and wouldn't go back. It's all sorts of insanity put into a small building and no one cares you or your safety. It's just not worth it and honestly better on the streets themselves. I'm lucky to have gotten out without too much damage taken. I know I got lucky

    When I was homeless with children we created a sort of stick house around our tent in the Salinas river bottom with limbs and brush and seriously most people could not see us as they walked by. We also camouflaged the top of our tent with Willow branches. You can often feel like a refugee in your own country just for trying to stay together and stay alive. My heart still skips a beat when I hear a helicopter. My biggest fear was being discovered and my children being taken away because we could not find a place to call home ... no rest besides the few days a month we could afford to rest at a motel. The shelters where frightening for children. Seriously scary. I had someone place a bunch of medication that could of killed my babies in their cots so they would try to eat them , Twice. In SLO county CA.I filled a report about it then they treated us as an enemy. We left and tried our best to stay in camp grounds, motels and to hide. Thank God we met a woman who gave us a place to call home.

Now I have seen vids of you interviewing those of us who are working the front lines, who have lived through the understanding of how the system supports the creation of mental health issues by torturing individuals, particularly women, with domination tactics on every level. I have survived and I receive SSI/SSDI for PTSD rape/incest survivor and am able to pay rent so I am not on the street. It is truly a hopeless struggle. Those who need this help are too far gone to put the pieces together on the level that is necessary. Thank you again for making better vids.

    I was made homeless following being burgled. It was a case of give my dog up & get a hostel or keep him & stay in a tent for 6 months..
    Years later & my best friend is still by my side ❤️

    OMG!!! I am so heart broken. I have been giving care packets to homeless people. I tell them they are not invisible. Today one guy said he was short 30 cents and the store asked him to leave and not come back. Please, please, please let's see people through the eyes of Jesus. Everyone has a story.

      I was at a light and gave him a care packet as we waited for light to change he told me the story of the 30 cents 😞 Maybe I should had given him the change but it did not occured to me.

    This was very hard to watch from beginning to end , I had to put my phone down a few times. This is a heartbreaking video.
    Being homeless was not easy at all , I have an understanding.

    Even with the little that i had , It didn't took me away from helping someone to stay off the streets. I had to sacrifice the extra I had . to help the ones in need. Pay it forward and you will know how real it feels.

    When I came home from the army in 1976, I lived in my dad's attic it was hot and dusty, yet, the price was right. I knew then, the only way forward was to find employment and soon. The key to a life of quality is a job. I would encourage people to find employment no matter what kind , just find it. May god bless you. Period.

    I remember I met this older man in Los Angeles, who told me that most of the people who were homeless that slept in front of this hospital (Harbor UCLA hospital), died and it really woke me up even though I was renting a bed at a shared living house. But, I'm going to donate $20 when I get my check💜

    I watched with hope that the homeless guy with these compassionate new friends would get back to a better life. Cried at the end which was a strong impactful reminder that until off the street homeless people are not safe. Some of the most humble and caring people I have met were those I gave food/or money to. Even if I have nothing to give sometimes I talk with them. It takes real humility to ask for help. I pray the Lord Jesus soften my heart to have more compassion towards others.
