Homeless Mom Works Three Part-time Jobs While Living in a Skid Row Homeless Shelter

Marrisa and her four children live in Union Rescue Mission, a large homeless shelter in Skid Row. Marrisa was abused growing up and went into foster care at age 15. She now works three part-time jobs while living in a homeless shelter trying to make a future for her children.
Last night, 245 homeless children slept at Union Rescue Mission. Let that number sink in a little! That's just one shelter. There are thousands of homeless children in Los Angeles County.
Where is the uproar and outcry from the public about all of the homeless children in America?

About Invisible People:
Since its launch in November 2008, Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vlog (video blog) gets up close and personal with veterans, mothers, children, layoff victims and others who have been forced onto the streets by a variety of circumstances. Each week, they're on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as KZbin, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.
Invisible People goes beyond the rhetoric, statistics, political debates, and limitations of social services to examine poverty in America via a medium that audiences of all ages can understand, and can't ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nation's most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath - its founder - and brings into focus the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions face each day. One story at a time, videos posted on InvisiblePeople.tv shatter the stereotypes of America's homeless, force shifts in perception and deliver a call to action that is being answered by national brands, nonprofit organizations and everyday citizens now committed to opening their eyes and their hearts to those too often forgotten.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.

3 part time jobs means the minimum wage is too low. Nobody working 3 part time jobs should be homeless. We should have a homes guarantee! Jeff Bezos is making like $8 million an hour it’s just very sad the priorities of the people running this country. Anybody working hard should not be homeless.

[@01Lovelycreation]

Vive La Revolution!

[@naelyneurkopfen9741]

What does Bezos' earnings have to do with anything? He earned his place. Sheer didn't bother to get an education, she didn't bother to keep her legs closed, use birth control or lay up with a decent man who would provide for his family. That's on her. If she's ever been to school, watched TV or has been in the net, she knew what she needed to do to have a life. And before the "she's a victim! Victim blaming, omg!" I was molested by a family "friend" from the time I was in diapers till I was 10, at that age I pointed the finger and let it be known. At the same time that was going on,I was beaten almost daily by my alcoholic mother. I worked my ass off to get and keep an apartment at 17. I kept my legs closed & I made a life. I didn't ask for shit, I didn't bring little bastards into the world to suffer my screw ups & I most certainly didn't envy people who did what it took to become wealthy. You're a sick person, you're not kind, you don't care, you're just an envious, maladapted, malcontented communist jackass who wants everyone to suffer equally. Shame on you.

[@gratitudesageproject]

It's not just about minimum wage. It's the cost of housing. Housing is at an all time high in many cities. You can move but (a) u need money to do that and (b) job opportunities are less availble. Now with COVID 19, many are moving out of cities but are driving up housing costs in suburban and rural areas.

[@jacijune]

@@naelyneurkopfen9741 I am happy for you that you were so strong willed and strong minded. But please be aware that not everyone is the same. Some people face abuse and they create a hard shell of defense around themselves and determine that they will never be vulnerable or let anyone get near enough to touch them or take advantage of them again. Others get abused and determine that they are worthless individuals and that is why their life turned out that way and therefore continue to allow the abuse to happen. Yet others go searching for the love they never received as a child in the arms of others but since they don't truly understand what love is, end up getting pregnant because they think if someone wants them sexually it must be love because that's what they learned from their abusers. Please don't judge and be nasty because your reaction to your situation was different from this girl's reaction to similar circumstances.

Why are people over simplifying and judging this situation so harshly? this woman was sexually and physically abused and probably had no clear guideline on how to be treated in romantic relationships. Abuse has complex and lost lasting effects on people, and childhood trauma manifests in different people in different ways. Get off your high horse and shut the hell up already.

Chris Eddings I'm so sorry! I wish that I could have been your Mom. Don't hate..too much energy.

[@Vivalinaaa]

Her energy is so contagious. Loving how she’s smiling through. Keep the positive vibes 🙏🏼

[@laurenferrell4445]

She’s so gorgeous and so articulate!!!! She’s such a good mom and an even stronger person. She’ll make it, I have FULL faith in her!!! God bless her and her beautiful kids!!!

[@KosmikGawdess]

Andy you deserve the best, I pray for her that she succeeds in life. Such a humble person. Humble spirit.

[@nailedbylore]

Good luck to you and your beautiful babies hun. I'll definitely be praying for you guys.

[@JARomero88]

I was gonna say that homeless shelter looks amazing! I love this channel because it has really helped me understand that homeless people aren't homeless because of misconceptions like laziness, addiction, etc. a lot of people just get dealt a bad hand by life, and that could happen to any of us. I pray to God that this lady is able to get her life back together.

[@nevillelover6976]

Wowwww I love how positive and grateful she is!!! Her life and those kids are definitely going to get REAL good from now on! In Gods name I pray! 🙏 Amen

[@reneeunpingco775]

She is a very strong young lady, with a beautiful spirit 🙏🏼

Thank you for doing what you do. You are an amazing human being and I really appreciate you helping to tell the stories of these incredible people. I wish all of them the best and you as well. So much love and peace your way sweet stranger 🦋💛

She's literally one of the sweetest Angels and when she teared up, I teared you too.

This story really touched my heart. Maritza seems very humble and genuine. Such a strong mother. I would love to see future updates on her story. I know she can do it!

[@shei924]

Something about her, she seems so sweet and her smile lightens up the room. She has def taught me something today.

[@taylormitchell5336]

She’s so amazing. This video goes straight to the heart there are mothers that have so much more and don’t care half as much about their kids as her.

[@ashketchum1377]

Dude this woman didnt cry once. She is keeping it so together for her kids. Such an amazing mother. I cant even imagine her life. I pray she succeeds in life and is able to single handedly provide for her kids.

[@marcusmorris450]

🤔We obviously didn't watch the same video she shared a company of tears 🤨

[@kme3894]

the world needs more Andys. And sweet moms like this girl. Such a patient and loving mom. And to think her own mother was abusive... I hope she will be safe from now on

[@beautymentalhealth5511]

She needs a GoFundMe me .. so she can get herself together ❤️God bless her

Yall need to stop wtf .. just because nobody helped yall or yall didnt ask for shit dont mean ppl can cant help her ... those beautiful kids are a blessing they are here already, nice and healthy .. her having them shouldn't even be a goddamn discussion... stop being so damn ignorant 🙄

Andy.... i CRY Cuz of what you did... Andy... You are such a good person I'll pray for you always... From Saudi Arabia ...big Respect💚

[@LeeLeeWilliams-1908]

Beautiful kids 🥰 When she was talking about Mr. Andy and started crying. The way her oldest son was looking at her like mommy don’t cry 😔

This makes USA look the opposite of “ the American Dream “. Depressing . Hard life .

[@IzThatit]

I know right, when you look under the bridge it makes the bridge seem like it's bad to cross right?

It is the opposite of the “American Dream” because that doesn’t exist.

[@JesusLovesYouSoMuch1]

Praying for the best outcome for this beautiful young mother 🙏🏼❤️

[@MonicaRodriguez-tv2vr]

I’m sending lots of love her way. I admire how she keeps herself in a good mood for the well-being of her kids. You will make it! To all the judgmental people constantly criticizing her: please shut up! She can’t take her children back. You can’t preach contraception when the children have all ready been born. You are only making her feel bad and in return that will affect her children. She already knows and has payed deeply for her choices. She is a nurturing, loving mother and that is something many people lack.

[@kindone9]

Monica Rodriguez I think if she ever gets some extra time she needs to learn some stuff to teach her kids so they can be successful in life. Also, she needs to not have any more kids.

[@arleneaugustahair8393]

lovelygarden roses65 um 😐 how can she teach them if she doesn’t know better herself! She just needs some really good mentors to help her through.

[@haydenholden1367]

What a sweetheart. I love this young lady. I hope her dreams come true.

[@kcmabel4440]

She seems so sweet , I am glad she is doing so good for herself. You go girl!!!! No matter what people say you are amazing!

[@oh2887]

Andy was a hero for this lovely lady and her children

[@emiie.effect]

This litteraly made me cry legit 😢😭

[@feralLove]

what an amazingly strong willed young mom. Glad she currently has a safe living environment for herself and her beautiful young children. Former foster children struggle immensely after aging out and they need additional support to be successful in life. My heart goes out to her and if by chance she reads this I would like for her to know "keep your head up and don't give up on your dreams.' 🙏💝

[@lifeafterleon8080]

She’s an Angel on earth! After going through much, she still has a calm and sweet demeanor. Her smile is infectious! I truly hope that she gets all her dreams come true!!! Sending kisses to her beautiful babies, especially that little guy sitting on the sofa on his phone (he reminds me of my 3 year old) 😊💙

[@camillapalmer82]

Fucking hell. This woman has endured. All love and peace to her and her kids. If for some reason she sees this message - one mum to another, YOU ARE AMAZING. Fight. Keep fighting. You have the strength of a million in that one body of yours.

[@mommy2both435]

She sounds like a wonderful mother. Andy is a blessing from God... we need more people in the world like him...

This makes me want to cry.. Look at how good of a mother she is. I cannot believe she went back to work 2 weeks after she had her first child.. Lord Jesus Christ bless her for her strength alone

[@rebels42wynn83]

She is one incredibly sweet and loving soul. I have nothing more than awesome admiration for her bravery and determination.

The people who create these programs and housing to help , they are angels

[@chrissttiiee]

I hope this family is placed in permanent housing soon .. nobody should be without. I'm glad she's utilizing the homeless services available. URM has a YT channel that highlights what they do, and testimonials by the people they help. It's actually a great org.Yay Andy!!

[@AA-bx5zx]

You can do it Marisa! YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE IT! All that you have been through you have persevered.. You will be an inspiration and I pray the power of Jesus Christ over you and your babies right now. I pray for the Lord's confidence , endurance, accomplishment and Joy overwhelm you! And God Bless Andy!! and the interviewer for bringing us real awareness of what's going on in our city.
