      I asked you on your video of the older 70 year old woman you did on in Gainsville Fl if you could point me to her exact whereabouts so I could help her but you still have yet to answer.. Could you please let me know sir, is she also at the farmers market? I live in G-Ville and was born here so I have many friends and family that want to help her.. Please let me know, thanks and God bless🙏

      Can you create a gofund me page for her so we can all chip in and help her get a few months rent and a deposit for a room?
      We can't wait for the government to bring affordable housing, it will just get worse and worse. God has to help us so we can help each other. Imagine if everyone who watches this would donate one dollar she would be off the streets by next week.

      I’m sorry I cannot direct connect people for their safety and yours. That said, there are 400+ homeless people living at Grace Marketplace. My suggestion is to go connect with them and volunteer.

    You found Laura!!! To know her is to LOVE her! I met her at McRorie gardens, and she vibes so high it feels like being in the presence of an angel. When she told me she was heading North for the summer last year, I was so sad. Not sad for her, because she is capable, and STRONG and is deeply connected to nature,but sad that I wouldn't see her anymore. To be In her presence is indescribable. If you are reading this Laura, you have no idea how much your smile means to people. You are LOVE INCARNATE. Your wisdom, you HEART OF GOLD, your vulnerability and your REALNESS is what people crave human relationships to be.. Being in your presence is to feel Grace her on earth. I am crying happy tears to see her here on UA-cam. I was missing her smile so much.

    The rental price for anything has almost doubled in the past 10 years. I called about staying temporarily at a seedy motel. They wanted $500 plus $200 security. Even if homeless people have an income, renting a liveable apartment is almost impossible, and I'm in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Whatever rent subsidies are out there, it's really not available for homeless people.
    I went to a local religious-based day shelter that is a nightmare. I feel sorry for the people that have to be there. I've got a car to sleep in & will eventually be able to rent a liveable apartment.
    The toughest part for me is staying clean & shaving. It would be a lot easier to seek employment while clean-shaven and showered.

    Sweet Laura. One of many sad stories. Heartbreaking.

    Wow, she is so sweet and positive. I've been homeless a few times as well. The last time was only about 6 months ago. and there were absolutely ZERO positive thoughts going through my mind. all I could think about was suffering, being alone, feeling like nobody cares about me, suicidal thoughts, and sadness/anger. She is one strong woman. If she's made it this far, I don't think there's anything she can't accomplish in life. All she needs is someone to give her a chance with a living situation.
