Meet Danette

[@jakeappel400]

There is so much pain there. Breaks my heart. She is fragile at this point. She reminds me so much of my mom at one point in her life.

[@askledhead]

Its really hard seeing a parent in a bad situation. It makes a person feel helpless. I hope she's doing well now

[@dinamarie4445]

Jake Appel what’s a happening Janesville?

[@jakeappel400]

[@dinamarie4445]

Aren’t you in Wi? I misunderstood maybe🥴

[@128Dar]

This is the saddest interview I have seen. Five kids and no contact with any of them. My heart breaks for her. She is in so much pain.

[@asenathdagraca1401]

Oh my gosh this is one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen 😞😞😞 Lord please help this woman and use your people to help her 🙏 she is a gentle spirit 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

[@b.a.brackus6371]

When l see these women....l see the little girl in them, and the hurt they have been thru by the hands of others and also maybe thru the poor choices of their own..... It's heartbreaking...

[@aetreus88]

This is the saddest one i watched. I can only imagine how she would feel in her own home. The pain that would be relieved would be the greatest in the world. I hope u make it

[@OGitGirlJess]

Aetreus I agree, this one is absolutely heartbreaking. She is so broken. It looks absolutely horrible where she is. Like a living hell. But I assure you GOD has not given up on this beautiful soul. And neither will I. 🙏✝️💔

[@levinaferran2258]

Wish I could reach through & give this lady a massive hug. She seems like a very gentle soul but so much sadness. Thank you for being there for these ladies Tom. I'm definitely going to see what I can send for this beautiful lady.

[@michaeldevito5575]

A year ago. First time in meeting Danette. Awwwwww. Prayers go out to Danette from us who are watching this video. Blessings. Thanks Tom. Hey Daisey.

[@sunshinegirl9333]

I fucking hate drugs!! I hate what it does to every soul it touches! God please bless these women. Danette I’ve been where you are sweetheart, you can get out. I’m praying for you!!

[@kathyinwonderlandl.a.8934]

Poor thing... she looks so beaten down from life. I’d love to think somehow something great would happen and she’d have a complete change in her life circumstances.. sending loving vibes to her hurt soul❤️🦋

[@garye2838]

I see these people all over the country every day. I see them when I cross into Mexico as well. This thrives only 3 blocks from my house. I've helped two over the years. They went to school with my sons. One is 21 now and I'm hearing she has been clean a year. The other is 26 and I just gave up on her. She is in very bad shape using heroin. I seen her couple weeks ago and her once gorgeous face is covered with self inflicted wounds. It's so sad. Think how Danelle feels. 50 years old and no one gives a shit about her. She will never get out. She is stuck. Some one needs to care. Some one needs to love her. Her face is so sad. She is so damaged ....i doubt she could allow anyone to care about her. How could she trust anyone after the horrors she has seen? It's a sick world we live in. It's not just Delray.

[@mikewinkelman7015]

She's been through a lot the pain is their for all to see my heart breaks these girls are all great and deserve a better life

[@diannasowards5521]

This is so sad my heart breaks for this precious soul. God bless you Danette.

[@norml6874]

She looks like she is hurting and feeling ashamed of how her life is 😞 I truly hope something she wished for comes true

[@gabrielleaviva]

Poor sweetheart. She’s beautiful when she smiles but the pain carved into her face is heartbreaking

[@janeokeeffe5297]

It's heartbreaking poor woman is broken,hope things get better for her

[@tuff8725]

[@hildaaybar9042]

Keep doin what your doin tom your Makin changes big time!!! love y'all -Donna

[@stephmartinez701]

I pray for her to find relief from the pain the pain and trauma outside of drugs. Suicide leaves the most brutal scars on the people left behind. She needs help to heal.

[@caitlinmiller7429]

[@carlalewis2149]

Heart breaking 💔 Dannette hang in there darlin, we got you 💛

[@charlesmartin800]

That poor poor lady I feel for her. Wow 5 kids and a ex boyfriend that killed his son. We can’t judge her but give a helping hand and love. Only she knows the life she’s lived. God bless her and her children. 🙏🏼 🙏🏼

[@telliehellums2537]

Danette is so pretty. Naturally. Hope she can get out of this awful life she is in.

[@spellingbee2000]

Awww she needs clothes. Said nice to meet you Tom .

[@chrissttiiee]

Aww .. I hope she makes it ok. Danette seems like a nice lady in a bad situation.

[@lyndonprice4584]

Heart Breaking!!! People need Love and Care- Christ working through us to help them-

[@terrysigmon3119]

These people just need love.

[@lisamarshall6024]

Hi Danette, My heart goes out to you. I know how tough it can be, but i want you to know your special, you are not worthless, you are a beautiful person. May the Lord guide you, walk beside you. Love Lisa xx

[@KimMc74]

Omg poor, poor thing... You can definitely tell she's majorly traumatized from her boyfriend killing his son! WOW!!!! Clean for 10yrs... That's a phenomenal accomplishment!!! I can't fault her though. Witnessing that would mess up anybody's mind! Throw in being a recovering addict and BAM! Back at it!!!! She needs some professional therapy to deal with that trauma and work through it or she's going to be trying to push that image out of her mind with drugs forever! Tom made her so happy. She was sooo grateful at the thought of getting help with food and winter clothing... Made my heart melt! Thank you for helping her, Tom Reed. Danette, you're a beautiful lady! You really touched my heart!!!! I'm praying for you to get better and for your safety.💕

[@deidrahall9996]

God bless this woman ❤

[@Teagan461]

Listening to her voice shake breaks my heart 😞 ❤️ Beautiful lost woman

[@ava2124]

I have been watching your videos for a while now and they have inspired me so much. So many people view the homeless as pests or a waste of space but in reality, they’re people just like us. I wish everyone would watch these videos and realize that. This video in particular hit me hard. I wish I can hug all the broken people and help them pick up the pieces. Best of luck to her, she truly is a kind soul. 💗

[@SoulFightSoulFree]

Danette, we share the same birthday! Ma’am, you are stronger than you know & braver than you believe. I have had such an awful day but I know it something divine that pulled me to this clip. You are not alone. None of us are. We share this same human experience as we fumble our way through it and try to do our best. There are so many reasons to stray off the path. There are so many ways to get lost. Danette, I will pray for you and keep you in my thoughts. May you find the type of peace and tranquility you have always deserved.

[@paulabrown4004]

Oh my gosh....please lord help her she is hurting soo bad.💕🙏

[@kakatherinepez4094]

Atru sweetheart she is,. Praying for her and Tom ty again for the videos,. It made me cry right with her,. God help her in this time of need,.🙏😞🌟🙏👼 yez she doesn't look her age?? Is she sure she so pretty but sad,. Awh ..

[@bthechange1545]

@Chosen Won , I love to see when you connect with them by bringing up things and places you would have in common. It's like they feel human by knowing places you know. makes me smile every time. Tom, she's younger than me by a year, she looks so tired.

[@lovelylou7618]

Awwww she’s so broken, I hope she can clean up again that seems like the only thing she was proud to say that was a happy time for her.

[@-jc-3380]

Speechless!!

[@karenhoward3662]

This is one i havent seen before. Love it Tom. ❤❤❤

[@ChosenWon]

[@ember2855]

I don't think she wants to be there aww praying for her

[@courtneyjones8307]

Danette, you are loved and worth it! If you have recovered once you can do it again. Im so sorry for the awful situation you went through. I can't imagine dealing with that trauma. Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way.💗🙏

[@finolaomurchu8845]

[@garymartin8619]

Tom this is so sad I love how you are trying to help in your own way bless you sir

[@mimimc8685]

Tom, heartbreaking

[@BCP07]

What a sweet girl. She really needs a break. I wish I could have given her a coat and gloves right then. She was shivering... what size is she ,Tommy? She looks like she is a small size.

[@paulrabbit2011]

My heart goes out to these people Tom

[@DannetteMarie]

Such a sad sad soul, My heart aches for her.

[@allanperkins7888]

You are adorable and so soft spoken.. and I cant imagine the trauma you have endured. I pray you find yourself once again.. you did It for 10 years. You can do it again love . Please be safe and keep your head up 😪👼🙌❤❤ ~stacie

[@paigemarie2751]

She breaks my heart 💔😢

[@emily-wb4fv]

God this is so heartbreaking... these are people who are really struggling.

[@lisaperez3158]

Sobriety is truly a struggle but rewarding. Addiction is so ugly 😭. My prayers to u Danette..💜💓💜

[@jameshughes525]

Its very sad to say but if 5 beautiful precious children doesn't make you get clean and live better then nothing will so sad 30 years she's a lifer and that sucks

[@MR-mv6hd]

This is heartbreaking. You can tell she is really really hurting. She is so gentle, polite, and kind. She also looks very appreciative of the interview. Even though she was crying she still didn’t forget to say “nice to meet you Tom, how are you doing? They are really great people stuck in a awful cycle. If you are reading this message, you can make it out of it!! Stay strong and you will make It. Sending you a huge hug to you 🤗!

[@hornydolphin7953]

Monserrat you must easily be fool

[@Gemini61]

I watched several of these amazing videos and out of all of the ones I have watched this is the first time I’ve seen one of the women ask Tom how he is doing. I am so thankful for Tom he is amazing for his bravery in getting these interviews most of these places aren’t too friendly to those asking questions way to go Tom!! I live in Rhode Island and it’s so small here the amount of homeless people here is shameful. There is bare minimum help for people in these situations and it truly weighs on my heart every day in each city and town in this tiny state there are homeless men and women at intersections panhandling( and no they are not all scammers). There is very little affordable housing here. I give what I can but I think about the deeper needs more than 1$ can fulfill. The items Tom and the viewers donate like food and clothes. This is something I always think about I give so so much thought to women and their needs such as hygiene while on the streets and have decided to prepare small care packages with women’s necessities. Tom thank you for all you do and for motivating me to put my thoughts into action.

[@patriciamarie5114]

She’s the only one that has a question for him and it’s how are you doing she is a good soul with love and care still

[@ilovemydressinggown9715]

Omg that poor woman, so easy to fall down a slippery slope. I really wish her all the best xxx

[@ChosenWon]

Thanks.

[@spearzoid]

She's in need of immediate care, help and support for severe PTSD. This is so painfully sad. She's slipped through the cracks in the system. She relapsed due to the trauma.

[@graceforgivness498]

I hardly know what to say. If you can tell me her size I will send her everything she needs including boots. I am talking new stuff, not someone's cast offs.

[@tec61]

HEARTBREAKING💔As a recovering addict myself 31yrs clean.these are GOOD KIND people with VERY BAD addiction’s PLEASE DONT HATE THEM😔🙏💙. If possible HELP them HELP THEMSELVES.

[@ChosenWon]

Congratulations.

[@jenniferrosa2572]

[@richardsoutdoorworld5284]

My Message to all these women......... I don't look down on you , you all have value ! Hope all of you can break the chains of addiction !

[@nicolewessel511]

This is so sad you can hear and see the hurt 💔

[@lovemytwinboys8871]

I just love her.

[@teresaacevedo4825]

Praying for you sweet lady! I know it hurts from the loss of your boyfriend. He would not want you to be so distraught over his death. Try your best to pick yourself up and know you have people who care for you. Pray hard for what you want and it will be done!

[@allisgrace1313]

Danette, you look so much younger that that. Get yourself outta there while you still have some health. God bless you, hon.

[@KaraLynnJack]

Praying for you Dannette, that you get the help you need to get off the, drugs and off the streets and into the therapy you need to be well and whole again. I'm so sorry for the loss of of your significant other and pain and relapse it caused you to endure. I hope and pray that once to are in recovery you are again reunited with your children who need you as much as you need them.
