Emotional Story of Homelessness and Our Need for Purpose

[@InvisiblePeople]

I spent some time with Saige today. For some reason, she is having problems responding to comments on this video. I am not sure why. I looked at the backend, and it's nothing I am doing. She's going to reach out to KZbin for support. She wanted me to let you all know she is reading comments are will respond when tech issues are worked out.

Great interview Mark, you coming along may be the moment Saige starts coming into purpose. Good Luck Saige, take opportunities - you are somebody 🙌

Hi, Mark. John Oliver just uploaded a talk about homeless people. He used some of your footage, I think it would be a good opportunity for you to leave a comment down there, might attract some more people to the case. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oprTpYCYn6tme6c

Matthew Chapter 6 25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

She is wearing a mask....but she has severe depression and ptsd. This is the the result of saying " don't be a victim!" Which when the situation go worse it could end with suic and people asking " why he/ she did it?" " why didn't the person ask for help?". And the thing is..if she goes saying she has depression and needs help, nobody will care but if she goes with the " don't be a victim" mayyyybe she could get help but also it could lead to the hiding part where she bottle the problem and could end in suic.

Truly frightening what America has become, and before 1980, you didn't have homelessness at all hardly, because there were so many rentals available, lots of apartments and small houses before the end of the 70's. Rentals were so cheap,too. You could rent a one bedroom apartment,have a part time job, and live well-- then. This era reminds me of those movies " Soylent Green" or " Running Man.". Seniors and disabled people are the fastest growing demographic for becoming homeless. Most people have a stereotype in mind,when considering homeless people. Lack of housing stock is the real cause of homelessness, as I've seen things change from affordable to expensive, abundance to scarcity. This country has some strange ,evil agenda, because Washington is unwilling to build housing on q massive scale, nor restore Section 8 to what it was before Nixon and Reagan cut it down, in 84 Reagan cut it 80% in 1984.

The fact that you have compassion and care about these people makes you a very special person ❤️ 🙏🤗 You need to never think of suicide the world needs more people like you that are kind and decent❤️🙏. It's difficult to think that that other people are suffering from mental illness, homelessnes.. Not all are having mental or drug issues & alcohol. My heart goes out to people because it doesn't take much to cause homelessness. I'm a senior I'm in heart failure, post stroke, Parkinson's disease and Lupus. I trusted my sister with my bank card and she started using drugs depleting my acct without my knowledge. She was helping me pay bills, and my care giver. She turned on me and moved out with a friend of hers after they physically abused me. I'm not on drugs, I don't drink, I've never smoked pot. I'm on soc sec but I was forced to take soc sec at 62 after my stroke so I lost 600.00 a mth income. So too poor to get an apt. But anyway I wanted you to know you're special. I almost took my life 8 weeks ago. It's a long term solution to a short term issue. I find that for me helping others takes away my depression. I still have it it has been with me since I can remember. I'm talking to a counselor but I dislike meds. I take only the meds I need for my health conditions or I'll die.

I hope all is going with Saige. At one point she mentioned about not wanting to take a job at McDonald's. Nothing is wrong with working at McDonald's. It was my first job and I was able to buy a $500 car after working there for two months. Healthy mentality is the key - if working at McDonald's or Lowe's is a step of one's life, take it. Life is made up of many small steps.

[@Here4TheHeckOfIt]

Do you mind me asking your ballpark age? I am older and I remember it was possible to work at a fast food restaurant for the summer and afford a car, but sadly, those days are long gone. Now, the main issue is jobs that can pay for the high cost of housing. The current climate has created a new segment of homelessness that do not match the stereotypes. Put this in perspective: there are now more than a half a million homeless people nationally THAT WE CAN COUNT. That number is probably doubled realistically and only growing. The real issue is a lack of AFFORDABLE housing that stagnant wages and an unstable job market can cover. It really doesn't take a rocket scientist to see this. There is self-interest, denial, false beliefs and corruption undergirding our society, and it is blocking solutions to this. It's just so sad because it's all so unnecessary.

WE LOVE SAIGE. SHE IS SO PRECIOUS. I OPENED UP MY HOME TO HOMELESS TO HELP. THEY HELP ME. WE ENJOY HELPING. I HAVE MY RULES AND THEY HAVE THEIRS. Everyone should house the homeless.

[@charlesjgilbertjr6217]

I accept her with open arms I know what she has gone through I was homeless for two months and most people didn't care about me I had to scrounge and dig to make money and some of my family members tried to take advantage of me after my late wife's viewing and my mother's funeral in2015 that is when I became homeless I lived in my van

[@buggarden6813]

Give this amazing beautiful person access to just one acre of land and she would 1) build a lean-to and sleep well 2) plant food and feed an entire community 3) rescue amazing animals and create an exchange of unconditional love 4) fulfill her purpose of having purpose....my list could go on but I'm sure my point is understood. She is inspiring despite her circumstances. Her heart is kind, generous, giving and by no means conceited. I have hope for Saige.

[@samposampo9432]

Very well said! If you want to give something to Sage go to her channel and watch her videos. She needs to have 4000 hours of videos been watched. So I play her videos as a playlist on repeat to help her reach 4000 hours quicker.❤

[@gigiweaver7936]

Saige thank you for sharing your story. You are strong & you are resilient. The struggle to gain independent footing when you are starting with nothing is exhausting. I too understand the plight. Hoping you can keep your dream as vivid as your daily grind.

[@mmm7m672]

I can't imagine being homeless in Canada because of the weather & it's going to get really cold before long. God bless her... My old house is in need of a lot of repairs but it is cheap on the rent to own. So that is why stay here. Depression does a lot of stuff people. Looks like government would let people live in the older houses to be fixed up if they would just help get them back on their feet.

[@rkt81]

Thats what happens when people are taxes till they get to the brink of getting homeless. Fake economy created by government using various interventions using money created out of thin air to benefit few.

[@bathsheba9581]

MONEY IS THE FIX. Any housing requires money and that money comes from somewhere. Whether it be employment or welfare programs or Sec. 8 or Social Security or Veteran's Benefits, you cannot get any housing without money. You are bringing up other needs that people may have like "purpose" and love. But that really isn't directly related to getting shelter. Not having shelter should be treated as a crisis situation. The other issues can be addressed later.

[@thoruramspeaking]

Dude, you're a philosopher. You're not just helping Invisible People. You're helping your audience as well. (24:44)

[@annanirathsi1111]

I think that when people are out on the streets they actually get some camaraderie from the people around them and that is something they give up if they move to an apartment or house or shelter. So finding a way to provide a sense of community (1e:dignity and love) once someone is housed and receiving services is important. Also I recommend taking fish oil for anxiety and depression. I am reminded of how effective it is when i run out and don't take it for a few days. It really is an amazing anti-depressant backed by many studies as well. I pray she is able to find her way. She is obviously very intelligent and educated and would be a tremendous resource for any job.

I understand it feels like negative forces keep you down i was there for 7 years

[@kaspersway7009]

Homelessness does make you numb and change your personality especially for years.

[@helenhines2712]

Saige is the most intellectual woman i have seen on your channel. It just goes to show you that anyone can get in this situation. So many people are just 1 paycheck away from being homeless, including myself. I wish all the best for Saige and in her new endeavors. 🙏 ❤

I'm so worried about Saige. She felt in a moment of the clouds parting and started her channel (below) but she hasn't posted anything for 6 months. She spoke of being suicidal, and I hope she has found the help she needs.

Lovely woman..It touched me hearing your story. We are all struggling with something. I hope you get what you desire. Stay strong and keep on inspiring people. Blessings from England, UK x I look forward to following your KZbin channel!

She has a good point: she wants to do her best to help herself before accepting help from others. God bless her!

This is the first time I have wanted to cry for this lovely woman. She is so beautiful. I wish she could feel she is so beautiful inside & outside. She is worthy.😘

[@palace927]

Sometimes a person can overthink life and get stuck. A person needs to work to get their needs met and sometimes that can mean not doing a job you really like. As you get older, many of us do not have close friends. People have families, responsibilities and no time for close friends. They just have time to go home recharge and do it all over again.

[@FosterChicken]

This poor woman! She brakes my heart!

[@wanda4573]

I agree, things pile up. Life is so hard and especially when their no support of people. Yet they all come running when they need you. Always live in care.

[@sandybeach2135]

I am so glad to have heard your story! You have a heart that GOD has clearly been in your life. If I may, I'd been homeless for a time, too. Not fun, but I learned it was by faith that He opened wide a door for me to have a home. It was when I believed in the Word and held onto it; even speaking He would make a way, He did. He even provided the help to move in. He's answered me time and again when I take Him at His word. Those mountains just melt, by faith. I pray you're encouraged, beloved. I'll pray for you, too. Please keep in touch. 🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸

[@AR-lz2br]

This is crazy... it's like she needs to get to New York from Los Angeles but unless she can build her own car and make her own gas she can get the will to travel to NY , when some friends offer her to pay for a plane ticket, others can lend her their cars, other can drive her all the way to her destination, but she refuses to receive help unless she can build her own car and make her own gas she will get to NY...OMFG!!!. Sometimes these people are so fixated about their own ideas and the way how things are supposed to happen and be done according to their mindset that they take many people for granted and opportunities that life puts on their life paths to give them a hand and improve their lives because according to her that's not the way she has planned things. It's all in her mind. They push themselves so much that they end up mentally ill for continuous frustration for not being able to accomplish their "plans/goals" falling into a vicious cycle. 10 years in homelessness and poverty for a prepared college graduated woman is so much time when it's just a matter of start making desicions and be more emotionally intelligent. Hope she gets better soon.

[@AR-lz2br]

@@villanelle529 She said she wants to feel loved and have a purpose before she decides to start making decisions, so chances are that she lacked love and attention when raised by her parents. Maybe every effort she did was to gain her parents attention and validation and she focused so much in being recognized by others that with time all that mindset leaves you empty. She wants a purpose, when the most important purpose for a person is their own well being, health physical and mental, dignity, healthy relationships etc..., but she's expecting something to happen outside of her, something that is not up to her to decide but from others because she needs to know that someone cares about her...well, how about those friend's help that she rejected? That's caring and love, the only thing she gets out of that is rejection because her friends might think that if she's in that situation is because she has chosen to be in that situation. I may be wrong but that's my point of view.

[@norcal1009]

😢I cried everytime she cried. Purpose is EVERYTHING to most folks and feeling even just a spoonful of dignity everyday can make survival worth living for is the message. So much to keep fighting for and being there for yourself can also bring us out of the holes we may find ourselves in. It's people seeing people, connecting, and really listening as set by this woman's clear ability. I admire her and hope her loving heart will stay open for humanity.

Do I hear a Canadian accent? Depression is the worst. It's like withdrawal but doesn't get better after a couple days/weeks. Hope she finds her purpose and finally feels fulfilled 💪
