Living under a Bridge Doesn't Stop This Seattle Homeless Woman from Staying Positive.

UPDATED update video: UPDATE VIDEO: Hanes Takes Formerly Homeless Woman Shopping for Her New Apartment. • Taking a Formerly Home...
UPDATE: New vlog Manda shows us her camp and why it feels good to give • A HOMELESS WOMAN Shows...
A few months back I logged onto Facebook and was greeted by a smiling homeless woman's selfie in front of a tent holding up a cup of coffee. It was captioned "good morning." Today, I met Manda at her homeless encampment where she made me a cup of coffee!
Most of the time I meet homeless people in person on the streets or in a homeless shelter. Then we often connect online and become friends. Manda and I became friends online first. I got to know her a little before seeing how she survives homelessness. I am having a hard time processing it all. Lots of emotions both good and bad right now!
Manda is an amazing woman. She is disabled from severe brain trauma, yet because she is high functioning, she falls through the gaps in the safety net. I have been working with her trying to help find a path out of homelessness, but the walls bureaucracy are impossible to break through.
For all the people that believe homeless people are lazy, I wish they could just spend an hour in Manda's shoes! She works hard to keep her tent camp clean. She works hard getting to treatment and therapy. She works hard every single day trying to survive. And she works extremely hard to stay positive while facing the madness of homelessness each and every day!
We must get Manda out from under that bridge into housing. Because of her health and being a woman out on the streets, she is extremely vulnerable living outside. If you are connected to social services in Seattle or know anyone that is, please reach out to them and forward Manda's story. I have talked to her social worker. Her health issues are severe, and we need to get this woman inside!

About Invisible People
There is a direct correlation between what the general public perceives about homelessness and how it affects policy change. Most people blame homelessness on the person experiencing it instead of the increasing shortage of affordable housing, lack of employment, childhood trauma, lack of a living wage, or the countless reasons that put a person at risk. This lack of understanding creates a dangerous cycle of misperception that leads to the inability to effectively address the root causes of homelessness.
We imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home. Each day, we work to fight homelessness by giving it a face while educating individuals about the systemic issues that contribute to its existence. Through storytelling, education, news, and activism, we are changing the narrative on homelessness.
This isn’t just talk. Each year, our groundbreaking educational content reaches more than a billion people across the globe. Our real and unfiltered stories of homelessness shatter stereotypes, demand attention and deliver a call-to-action that is being answered by governments, major brands, nonprofit organizations, and everyday citizens just like you.
However, there is more work to be done on the road ahead. Homelessness is undoubtedly one of our biggest societal issues today and will only continue to grow if we don’t take action now.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to educating the public about homelessness through innovative storytelling, news, and advocacy. Since our launch in 2008, Invisible People has become a pioneer and trusted resource for inspiring action and raising awareness in support of advocacy, policy change and thoughtful dialogue around poverty in North America and the United Kingdom.

If I can ask, what did you do to get off the streets?

[@hajile20]

@@coreyzamprogno5510 I ran into some guys from a church (at a picnic near the shelter that I stayed in) that encouraged my life and my potential. One of the guys was a life coach that used me for a trial run. He helped me to gain a better perspective of my life and how who I want to be is up to me and their are no limits or excuses. I also made some really good friends who just cared about my progression. So I got a job stayed with a friend (paid what I could), got a GED, went to college, and kept climbing up. I also became apart of a drug recovery program at the church called chemical recovery to deal with my addictions. It's been about 10 years now, and I'm married, been to 4 countries in the past year, have a great job and the main provider for my family. Ive volunteered and encouraged people at the shelter that I lived in and have invested in the lives of a lot of people. Most of it my perspective came from learning from Jesus on how to serve others. I learned how it's better to give than to receive and it helped put me in a much better mindset because I realized that I really matter to the world.

Never underestimate how much life can kick you in the curb. Most terrible situation can happen to anybody of us

[@mementocatharsis9372]

We can all be lazy. Use drugs, at first occasionally. But what it really is is the death of the idea of god. What is the point of experiencing pain if the end result is the same? To suffer seems to be the actual truth, the reason. So the only question, for a genius, is to be or not to be? And if you choose to be, you choose to live, love, kill, eat, shit, and die. Not everyone is able to fool themselves. Not everyone believes the lies that they tell themselves. When you can't even pretend to believe in the comforts (god, gods, spirits, and meaning) you go back to the earth.

You re correct, im a pilot and skydiver, i speak 3 languages and ive been homeless for over a year now...i dont do drugs i dont even drink or smoke

[@BluePrecious77]

No, not all homeless people are what you expect - so many people are naive as to how this can actually happen. DO NOT think that this could never happen to you. Living in a world where most people are self-absorbed and selfish - do you really think it could never happen to you? You wonder about their family, friends, and associates - well, keep wondering! You have to have unconditional love and patience to deal with a love one misfortune in life - unconditional - which is really RARE! Becoming homeless allow you also to see people for what and who they REALLY are.....my heart feel her pain and know the pain she feels - so much disappointment in humanity as a whole.

Борись, не сдавайся и ты увидишь как ты одержишь победу в той или иной плохой и казалось бы плохой ситуации... И да, я всегда старался быть позитивным и улыбаться не смотря ни на что. Многие наверное видели фильм "Гладиатор", там есть прекрасные слова:"Смерть улыбается нам в лицо и нам остаётся лишь улыбнуться ей в ответ!" Я искренне сочувствую этой женщине и прекрасно её понимаю.

Help, support, realising their pain contributing towards their betterment and very rich people who may be able to provide a simple habitat to a one homeless person are few great steps to ease homeless people's sufferings.

I appreciate the work you do, but I wish there were more people like you out there who help the homeless people who are basically invisible to everyone else.
