This Homeless Family Lives in a Small Hotel Room. 11 Year-old Son Has Brain Cancer.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Tory is one amazing mother. Fighting homelessness is bad enough, yet her 11 year-old son has brain cancer. I cannot imagine the strength it takes just to get through a day.
I met Tory and her 3 kids living in a hotel room in Phoenix, Arizona. 6 people actually now live in this hotel room. They only thought they were going to be there for 2 weeks, and that was months ago.
The hotel cycle for homeless families is often never-ending. Tory's husband often walks 4 miles every day to get to work, but he does not make enough money for them to save up for first and last months rent to get back into an apartment or house.
Tory says she is having a hard time finding support services. Either the service provider is out of funds or they are just placed on a waiting list. Tory is trying to stay in the same area so her kids can stay in the same school. There is some good news, I was with a school liaison who will start helping Troy's family the best to their ability.
Tory's son received an award for student of the month in September. That's amazing. Please watch to the end to hear his 3 wishes.

If I ever become wealthy, I will help every homeless person that I can. This woman is amazing and strong. My prayers go out for her and her family.
cee hernandez I hope you can help as I'm on the verge of becoming homeless.
Good on you !
Saul Val Whats your story?
Me too
Since 1965, this country has.spent over 15 Billion $ on the War on Poverty, which includes homelessness. Each day it becomes worse. The current influx of hundreds of thousands of illegals every month, makes paying for their free benefits, impossible. It simply cannot be sustained.
i live in a motel. its me and my three kids. its been difficult. i applaud you for being strong and not giving up
You should give up having kids.
Mr. White Did you know that things can happen after you already have kids?
People died, loose job.... don't judge, instead have compassion!
tiss.tiss mr.white lets hope that u wear un mudded shoes and are unflawed. Things happen in life dont concern urself with hers for she is not asking you for help for her story is being shared. It would be a "Mr.White" to pass judgment & criticize😏
Mr. White how stupid can one person be? Literally ANYTHING can happen in the blink of an eye. What is the point in tearing someone down even further than they already are?
♥️♥️♥️👑🦁👑♥️♥️♥️🙏🏼
They are fortunate to be in a hotel room ,,, better than on the streets. Being in a good school is priceless for your children.
wow her kids couldnt even think of 3 wishes other than helping the family and his sick brother that is sooo humbling I pray for this family that they get out of this tough situation.
I watch these videos so that I KNOW I'm not far from this. I was just laid off last week and I was devastated. But I'm counting my blessing and hoping to find a job asap so I can keep my house and my kids fed and clean. God please help her and her sick son 😓
"hold fast"! 🎈
Could tell before she said anything about her son getting student of the month that those are some great kids. So well behaved, reading and listening to every word their mother is saying
What well behaved kids, you are doing something right mom.
I LIKED HER......SHE IS A GREAT MOTHER......THEY JUST FELL ON HARD TIMES........
This lady is one tough cookie. I have no doubt she'll overcome, she's so inspiring. You go girl.
Tory's story is one I hear all the time, it is indeed a circle - a good mom, doing the best she can! I met a grandma in Yuba City California living the same life, carrying for her loved ones. She was so desperate she was buying food stamps for fifty cents on the dollar. When I asked her how she felt knowing that money would be used for drugs and alcohol she said. "I don't like it, but I have to provide for my babies anyway I can."
God Bless this family with the money that they need and their health !
michael czajka Amen.
I feel so sorry for their misfortune !
So sad, America we need to help our own!
Never gonna happen
What a lovely family. We all hit hard times, I hope that they find some help and have luck with finding a home. We all deserve to have a place to call home where we can be safe and at peace.

What a great family! I love how that child was petting the dog the whole time!
A good mama. These children are well behaved. I hope her husband has better health and that this family got a better place to live 🌸💖
I watch these videos everyday to remind myself before I start bitching at work or arguing with someone over nonsense, or losing sight of what’s important. To remind myself to always be thankful and realize it could be any of us out on the streets because of one situation. We all walk around with our heads in our phones worshiping all the material things we have been taught to love but life is the greatest gift...of you have more than just that then you are blessed so don’t forget that
What a great mom! I wish we lived in the same city - I would love to be a support/friend to her.
Now, this is a family that tries but is family difficult circumstances. They are sensible. I pray for them.
This is for the mother you are a very strong person i hope that you and your family get back on your feet.
God Bless this family, I hope they get a big beautiful home asap!!
I try so hard to be humble and thankful for everything God has blessed me with. I try my best to not be greedy and these are the reasons why. There is always someone in worse shape. Even for them, there is someone worse off. Bless their hearts.
Where is her family to help her? This is why I only have one child. I'm terrified to not be able to provide for him, God forbid. We live a fortunate life and I am grateful.
i was homeless and my family didnt help me, i didnt expect them to nor did i want to, maybe they are hitting hard times too, it happens.
you are a blessing to your family mom....stay strong. God bless you
And many prayers for your son
Moving is very expensive we had to move 3 times in 1 year it cost over 1500 each time, we have 3 kids and understand the school situation and grocery situation. We are Christians and believe God has a plan for us and you can't never lose hope.
wow what an amazing family, good parents and Bright kids. Hope they'all make it.
you have a lovely kids and family.. you and your family deserves a better life.. keep fighting
I've seen many of these "Invisible People" videos and everyone of them has the nicest people you'll ever meet!
I love this family the mom is amazing and the dad
I wish I can find these people I would love to help them out I wish I new were they are!!!!
I've seen many of these "Invisible People" videos and everyone of them has the nicest people you'll ever meet! 😊😇😊
I’m gunna watch these videos everytime I start complaining about my bullshit problems. These people deserve more.
How are this lovely family doing 7 years on? 5 thumbs down...really?!!!
Her son was student of the month❤❤❤
This was 8 years ago. How are they now?
Prayers
Hoping you are doing well now.
4 thousand views? People SHOULD see this.
Nice family. I hope the older son’s brain tumors were treated & he’s healthy now.
I've been homeless with children so I know the struggle. This just made me remember my struggle to be thankful for what I have. I feel like I've been ungrateful because I live in a income based and I've been trying to move into a house . The way the economy is I'm so scared because anything could happen I could lose my job I mean anything and me and my children will be homeless again. I'm thankful for my income based home I give God all the praise
Government bringing all these immigrants here giving them housing food stamps medical gift çards while are own are own are being put out in the street loosing everything while they are taking over not fair
@@patriciakehaya6711 smh the system is wicked.
I would like an update on how they are doing
that sad to here that i feel bad for you and your family
pretty eyes
hugz to her
I attempted suicide because I was homeless constantly since i was very young it was horrific it’s changed me forever I still can’t erase it from my memory
Suicide is the work of Satan,
don’t ever do it or think about
it. Cause JESUS CHRIST exist,
and whenever you think about
suicide that is because Satan
puts those THOUGHTS 💭 on
all of us.. TRUST ME. That is
not you thinking like that,
trust me...Next time that thought
comes say this, is from the Bible,
“THE LORD REBUKE YOU SATAN”
It always works for me........
Satan flees every time I say that,
trust me. It’s like the
Cheat codes of a game.
It works, people just don’t know
how to apply it to Satan...
confia lo que te mensione...
@@pauljohn6546 fuck that BS so sick of this its mental health issues and depression it is NOT EVIL it is what it is grow up
400 dollars a week times four weeks is 1600 dollars you can find a 2-3 bedroom for less than that in some places
My heart aches for this family. They had been going through so much, the worst being the mom's 11 year old son having brain cancer. If I was a millionaire, I would help this family out. This was 9 years ago. Does anyone know here they are now?
when these people interview homeless people about their life... do they ever help them out??🤷🏽♀️
They should
Someday when I win the lottery I'm going to buy a big lot and have 20 tiny houses for the homeless people. Some houses will have 3 bedroom for family That's my gold in helping people out so they don't have to be on the street. So they could have a place to call home northern California
Yeah.... she said her husband had a heart attack and couldn't work. I believe that's the reason they got behind on the rent.
So why doesn't she work?
@@MrWhite-pn7ui someone has to take care the kids I’m sure he couldn’t after having a heart attack
is there an update on this sweet Family or the son ?
"hold. Fast"! 🎈
I want to know how they are doing,?? Has their lives changed as the years went by
I wonder what the chance are that national evening news broadcast would pick the stories to feature. I also wonder if doing so would foster positive change.
They would never do that. This poverty is by design and we are not supposed to know about it
Lord Jesus help this family financially and with a house Amen....
Where do homeless people receive their mail?
this society is so very wrong. In I would say almost every part of the world. And it's not the money. Money is not the root of all evil. It's your own head, how you use them and whether you are greedy or you have a brain, you use it and you help others. You can do a lot of good with money.
Noone in America should have to be homeless or without healthcare. Shame on Washington for failing good honest hard working families...
The healthcare part I agree with, because even the poorest third world countries have free health care for it's poor. Homeless? People have to make good financial decisions and work hard to secure their home at any cost. I personally have my mortgage and car payment on auto pay, so these vital bills get paid before anything else, food included.
Any updates?
Can you get a Job at the hotel? They would probably offer you free room
🙏
That's why I always suggest you being uncomfortable for a little bit of time. Staying in your car is better than the hotel loop. Save for a RV and find lot rent.
Follow up . What happened to the family since this story?
Can I donate somewhere???
is there a update on these families?? this is very sad
the boy is nice to the dog
Puppy omg I want. Try to stay with someone for a month so you can save the hotel money
Housing doubled in just two years. This is more than simply inflation ☹️
I really feel for families in this 'hotel living' situation. I hope she is doing better. What she stated is true only now, with cvd evictions and the pandemic economy AND with increased competition for the same amount of rentals...it is even harder for people to get into a rental. One thing that I would suggest is for people to get a GTR www.goodtenantreport.com report because this can help get.
What is her sons name so people can send prayers for him. ?
mark can u plz set up something so ur views can help the people u show us directly in som way
plz help this sweet family my god my heart goes out to them all these wasteful tax dollars u would think we can house a family come on America u should be ashamed
@kms That is very at the forefront of my mind: "You see and hear they have to move because they can no longer afford the hotel rent, they've children, are you just talking and sharing these videos in the hope will reach out or are you thinking ahead, maybe with a voucher, another safe place to go or even some money donated or from your own pocket/wallet?" Wondering each time and wondering what becomes of them after the camera stops, interviews are done, hopeful, ever so hopful...
Where is this family now?
At $30/day, an apartment would probably be cheaper.
No bc utilities are included at a hotel. They are not included in apartment
IJest there are companies that help with electric bills and even gas
i feel sad for them it suckz
....
🙏🙏😥
💔
All these people sound so surprised about what it takes to rent an apartment. It’s been like that for as long as I’ve been a renter I.e. for the last 20 years. Why everyone get so loud talking about it?
Updates 😫

Does anyone have any cont details for woman. I want to send her some mouey. I live in Australia.
Blessings her in so many ways 💗
Upsets me though, she deserves help , a disabled son she should of been in a place.
I hope someone sees this that has the ability to help🙌
Bless her ⭐ stay strong !!!!
Don't forget how much it cost to raise kids...
Why aren't the living with one of the two sets of grandparents? Or their brothers/sisters?
Keep trying mumma xx
not safe for the son with cancer
See that’s the type of shit right there that pisses me off this lady is talking about she’s in poverty your families in poverty all this bad stuff going on but they got a dog how are you going to feed the dog when you came to feed yourself give me a break
God bless these people why reproduce so much? I mean a little foresight won’t go amiss
My question is .do she work?? I understand is not easy. But both parents have to work..
Your right but sadly it should not be this way.
Should have reached out to the Mormons
Ppl need to start wearing condoms if their just goin to f. C'mon stop making kids if you'll cant take care of yourself. There are some conditions were its unfortunate.
I don't understand this at all. Her husband worked for 19 years. Where is their savings? His 401k? Did she EVER work? No mention of that. If I was her I would try to get a job at the hotel, or for God's sake, anywhere! She can work nights, weekends! I always worked part time, in case something would happen! She can save her pay, and at least get a trailer home. No credit needed in a lot of those. She just sits there and complains! My husband also lost his job in 2009, due to the plant closing. But, he had severance pay, 401k, and we had thousands in savings for a rainy day. Did he not get a severance pay? I know he was getting unemployment. Did she work then?? Stupid, irresponsible, ignorant people! Poor kids!!! She can get a house, but does not want to change schools. That is stupid! She would rather stay in the hotel! And also, no vehicle?? Makes no sense to me?
Chicago Gyr good point 👍👉👉
I was thinking the same thing...two incomes could get them out of there! Wonder what happened to them...
It's from having so many kids, you can't save any money with so many kids
Did you guys miss the part where the father/husband had a heart attack and her 10 year old has 2 brain tumors? Medical treatments are not free. Having heart or brain surgery is expensive! And not to mention medications as well.
divinewords save your breath! They're not here to empathise. They're here to snipe and condescend. Makes them feel superior.....
Probably..but maybe she doesnt have the money.

I wish I could find a place for $30 bucks a day to live.
Queen Lewis no she didn't you lying fuck.
David Martin yes she did, dummy

:(
she obviously means $30 a day for rent on top of the money she's already paying per month.
Hmmmm ,but she can afford not 1 but 2 small dogs ..which are extra mouths to feed in an already tight budget ,doesn't make sense :/.... nice family, though.
Excellent point. Save the sob stories, dollars to donuts they have a long history of poor life choices.
Jerks, both of you!
Ok, fuckwits. Let's not have any kids or family pets or both unless we can guarantee we will never become unemployed, never live in a country who's economy collapses, never live in a country where despite insurance medical costs bankrupt us.
We can't do that, can we?
What would you suggest - they have their pets euthanised?
Give them away on Craig's list?
Perhaps they should give their kids up, too?
I only see 1
