@@le_th_ I do believe there is a God, I belle in God. I've been homeless myself 3 times, and I'm going through it now. To believe in God is to understand that there is a Devil. And the Devil clearly rules this earth we live on. One thing we all know for sure is we are going to die one day. So, we all have the freedom to make our own choices. Believe in this world? Or believe in the Savior and the Afterlife and Gods promise to His believers. About this woman? One thing is for sure. for her to survive in those conditions for over 40 years shows the strength, courage, belief that most do not have. Perhaps she is so blessed and good of a person, thus her saying she's a square who can never fit in circles, that living in this hell hold we call earth, has had her facing many challenges that a non-believer would never face nor understand. Perhaps, her rewards and blessings when she passes on will be greater than most of us.

@clint83 I hope you’re wrong about a lot of people hating you, the way things are today anyone can end up homeless whether young or old. And what I’ve noticed lately most people don’t have anything to donate to food banks or church pantries because they don’t have enough for themselves. I know people that a few years ago would never accept donations from a food bank but today they don’t have a choice. I hope you can find a place you can afford, I pray everyday for my family because it’s getting harder to our heads above water.

@@InvisiblePeople Very true. I have a friend that will never be able to stop working because she never worked a high enough paying job for enough years to get a decent amount of SS. I feel so bad for her; as we age we get tired so much faster and after doing daily things if we over do it we ache all over. So I can't imagine having to work forever, plus she is on her feet all day. What is even more sad is that she has no family, they've all died off. At least I have my sons even though they are nearly 100 miles away. I barely get by on SS and just bought my first home last year. I put all my savings for a down payment into a 20 year old tiny mobile home and I live in a horrible CA desert town, but that is where I could afford. At least I have a roof over my head. I can pay my bills, but I have no savings for emergencies and trying to save money for such things on social security is a joke, but I am trying. I can't go to the grocery store like I use to when I was working. There are many food items I don't buy anymore because they are too expensive and because they are more of a want than a need. Now I can only go grocery shopping once a month and when I run out I just have to wait. I make all my food at home. I don't even buy bread anymore because it's too expensive. Anyone still working Please save your money, don't have credit cards, you are going to need so much more money when you get older than you think you will. I hope that poor lady in this video gets a place to live before she dies. No one should die on the street being homeless!! 💔

Somebody told me that nobody wants to be homeless and I had to correct them some people don't want to be homeless and some people do want to be homeless so they don't have to pay bills and deal with responsibities. I was homeless and I gotta say I got tired of it I had to get myself together. I'm from NJ and they done nothing for me. So I came to NYC and got the help I should have gotten in NJ. Now I got my own place. Pluse she's old theirs so many services in NYC for different reasons. If your a senior citizen, or immigrant or disabled, or have mental health issues or HIV / AIDS issues theirs help in NYC. They don't got it in NJ that's just an excuse not to want help 💯

If she is a US citizen at 65 she should be able to get SSI even if she never worked in the US. Social Security gives people from other countries who become US citizens and never worked in the US at the age of 65 SSI. She needs to be connected to the Dept. of Aging in NYC.

I can't not believe that a elderly women like her self being homeless 40 year's still unable to get the right help and what bother me the most what she say about that free lawyer going behind her back and do something shady that's so mess up, so I guess getting a free lawyer doesn't work when getting help, Please god help this beautiful soul she doesn't deserve this...

I’m trying to detect where in America her accent derives from…I recognize it. Hmmm. There are rules to Social Security..you have to have worked 15 years full time. You have to pay into it. It’s not a freebie. Nor is Social Security Disabilty which again one pays into, and it was designed so disabled American citizens are left with something. I’m sorry for her plight, especially with winter coming…

This is such a sad story for an elderly citizen, in a city in the USA, (thought these things happened only in the less developed countries and Africa) Some of the funds put into wars and arms, should be assisting folks like her. Lord help! 😓

Near half a century. More time than many people have been alive. You could be a grandparent at 40, and that's how long she's been outside. But judgmental people find this acceptable. It's NOT acceptable. We could say "where are her children and grandchildren," but that doesn't change a thing. We need solutions, not judgments and assumptions. But she does have a light spirit. And she reminded me of my grandfather, in that, my grandfather said he was "49 and holding." One time someone said "You're not 49." He said "I didn't tell you how much the holding is." What gets me is, we have how many empty houses in this country? But none of them are used to house people, like this lady. Instead, cities want to tear those houses down. But then, they sell houses for hundreds of thousands of dollars, when one would think that some of those houses would be one fifth that price. But they say the homeless are on their own. Use those empty houses to house the homeless! Fix them up and put the homeless in there. You don't have to make it brand new. Just make it livable. But, there's no excuse to leave people on the streets, especially since people like to kick the homeless while they are down. If you want those empty houses to have better use in your neighborhoods and not be empty (called blight), let the homeless move into them! THAT would help solve the housing crisis.

I hope someone steps in and helps her get the social security that she deserves, as well as a check for all the years of social security she should have gotten, so that she can settle down in a home rather than on the streets. She seems younger than her age. She looks 60-65 and sounds even younger than that.

I don't understand why her social security record is not accessible. You only have to pay your social security credits for a certain number of years to qualify.

If she could qualify to get into a nursing home, Medicare will pay for that, then she would have food, and safe shelter, and probably meet people she liked. She needs to talk to someone in her city about it, perhaps you can help, or someone here can help that lives in her area.

Blessings upon this lady and justice to her and all homeless peoples everywhere! I'm 66, disabled, and live in the UK. Because of the lies, verbal abuse, threats and so many breaches of the law committed by a housing association, a local council, an ambulance trust and all their employees, as well as the threats of other tenants, I now live in a caravan moving from site to site and paying for it out of my pension. But i will have my day in court. One way or another. And the world will see it! Are you listening Anxhir Hanover Housing, East of England parient experience team, Cambridgeshire council, and the nasty evil old stags and hags at Wrights Court Harlow Essex UK. I won't forget nor will I forgive you. And I will have vengeance. 😶💥👊🙏⚖️🙏
