When I was out of high school, I started working in a McDonald’s. I met this homeless lady who lived in a literal box with no air conditioning, no nothing besides her belongings. She would always come in. She managed to get a job there with me. We became good friends and boy she’d tell me stories about homelessness long story short she ended up staying there for about 2 years and became a store manager. Now she lives in a home in Texas, has recently married, and is living her best life.

@Mad Hatter Very true. But regardless we should be humans 1st. As a religious woman we HAVE to give charity God made it commandment, that's how important it is. I'm sure if we were in their shoes we wouldn't care about the logistics\politics around it. We'd just want shelter and a warm plate. This world is more than big enough for everyone to have shelter. The greedy gov and rich motherfuckers are what is in the way if that.

[@OstrichFan]

Mad Hatter yes of course I understand, but looking at his video I see normal people helping out. Although it might be a lot of politics and issues behind it, no one should be denied shelter. These people are protesting against having shelters near their home and maybe they may be doing it for some important reasons but they're not the only ones. So many people don't want shelter for homeless people just because it's not aesthetic enough for their neighborhood.

When I was a kid, my dad became homeless, even though he had a job. He slept in his car and still went to work and took care of himself. He would still come pick me up every other weekend to spend the day together. I know even at a young age how much he needed to spend time with me during those rough times. It broke my heart to see him in this situation but we made the best of those time. He never complain about anything, and always made sure I had a good time. It's been many years now and he has a better job and a home to go back to. Homelessness can happen to anybody, even the most hard working and kindhearted people like my dad.

My heart goes out to these women. I was homeless for about a year, in Washington state, living in a truck with the man who was sex trafficking me. People want to judge and say "your nails are clean. not homeless". "you have makeup. not homeless" "you have tampons. not homeless" "you have a cell phone. not homeless" but having those resources is not the same as a home. I had a phone and a kindle fire from when I was NOT homeless before I lost my job--I kept them while I was homeless. Had no money for service--I could only connect in a local cafe or fast food place that had public wifi, maybe a grocery store. Used a wifi text messaging service to communicate when I could. My trafficker would steal me makeup so I looked better for dates. Did any of that erase the reality of me going home to a truck every night, with two broken windows, under piles of sleeping bags in the winter, still shivering underneath? No. Furthermore, being homeless is in of itself a shame-bringing situation. I loved to cover my face with makeup too, when my trafficker stole it from the store. I wanted to hide as much of myself from the world as I could, until I could no longer recognize my own face. I didn't want to be me anymore. If you've never been homeless, and you don't feel particularly inclined to care about them, just wait. My mom and dad didn't really think much of homeless people either...until I, their daughter, found myself on the streets. They care now. And so do I.

[@allielee]

​@Reese Cup good points, but its not always directly an individuals choices or their family's that lead them to homelessness. it could be that they got laid off at a company that they didn't foresee such an outcome. Thus, they would struggle more to pay the rent and eventually slip through the cracks and wind up without a place to live. To say that it's the individual's choice to be working at a company that they could get laid off at or not earning enough money to afford the rising rent would be an illogical argument. There are surely ways to prevent homelessness but the long-term preventative options are not always available at dire circumstances when one's main focus is to stay afloat.

reason many are against it is because of what they normally see., they see the crazy drug addicts, the creepy men who follow you around and harass you, etc etc. Also lets be honest.... there are not very many who dont commit some kind of burglary/theft crime.. a shelter would tank the property value of someone's home as well, so of course the home owner doesnt wanna loose on that. People dont know or even bother to see videos like this one. they rather throw out the whole barrel of apples over 2 or 3 bad ones

[@mommynab]

@@michelewilliams2920 you can contribute in other ways until finding a job. What I have seen is the adult "child" moving home to their families often don't want to follow any rules, don't help much, want to come and go as they please. "I'm grown!" That usually turns toxic because the giver grows tired of giving, giving, giving. And often substance abuse drinking, drugs, etc are not allowed. Or they can't bring in a boyfriend.. moving home requires a level of humility that many cannot bear. But there's rules in shelters too so the streets are the ultimate option. My dad went through this cycle many times, people who give grow tired.

[@LaTaeviaTanae]

As someone who is 20 and was homeless for the majority of my life I feel like the real problem is people keep having kids they can’t take care of and those kids just become forgotten adults who end up on the street. I understand there are certain circumstances that make someone homeless like loss of jobs and stuff and that of course needs to be addressed. But I was homeless at 14 simply because the family that adopted me thought I was “damaged goods” and “couldn’t make them any more money” I had been with this family since I was 3. So from 14 to currently 20 I have had to fend for myself. There are so many people not just kids who are sitting in the system because their family failed them first not the government

I paid for everything and then I walked over to her and gave everything to her, I told the lady that every thing will be okay. when she looked into the bag she just started crying, all I could do was give her a hug I was trying not to cry. me and her prayed together, and I told her that God has a plan for her. ever since, whenever I see homeless people I alwaysssss start crying. there's my story !!:)

[@kalmage136]

I still don’t get what you’re trying to fight for. No matter what the state or location is, we are trying to keep ourselves alive. We can TRY to keep whatever children alive but in the end, we have to be selfish and keep ourselves alive. How do you really expect ANY homeless, no money, no family, no job or status, take care of a child that was not in their intention to give birth to. IF they knew they were unable to take care of them, then they have to prevent it before it suffers anymore. Being thrown into the garbage, abandoned, creeps that pry on children, fetuses & babies. AND Not everyone or anyone is willing to care for a child that’s not theirs or take them in from abandonment. No one is obligated really, it’s called Self Love, Self Respect & Self Care. we. Cannot. Care. For others. If we cannot. Care. For. Ourselves. Get it straight through your damn mind.

Made me feel like a woman again.. Made me feel HUMAN again... There were plenty of times after i did all my stuff and rinsed out my undies, my socks, all my clothes, id hang them on the park bench and just relax while they dried in the sun and id do my doodles and sketches in my book, or lay on my dollar store towel and just sun bathe, paint my nails etc... There were a couple times i had some really nice men approach me and compliment me and my art... Told me i was very beautiful and one time a guy brought me coffee and a sandwich just so he could sit and talk to me for a bit lol..felt just like any girl would on a date in the park...i felt pretty, and he gave me the time of day which he never would have otherwise... It made me SOOO happy that with just a little makeup , a little soap, a couple spritzes of perfume and people would treat you SO different.. Made me so happy that they couldnt even tell that i was homeless, and theyd just treat me like a normal person.. It sounds silly but my makeup and beauty routine kept me going out there, people just look at you different.. They treat you different.. I learned VERY quickly that the opportunities for jobs, favors, food, help from shelters etc, really did depend on how you looked...i got talked too ALOT more and people were willing to go out of their way to be kind and try to help me anyway they could when i had my makeup and hair done.. It was one of the things that kept me sane out there definitely. I guess alot of people felt bad? Idk.. That a young, kind, "pretty" girl was out on the streets all by herself with nothing, and theyd go out of their way to talk to me and help me, and when my hair was a mess or just unwashed and pulled into a ponytail, and didnt have my makeup done and just had my baggy comfy clothes on, most of the time people wouldnt even talk to me or it was like i was invisible..or if i tried to talk to them, spark up a conversation or ask questions theyd just be like "nope sorry" or "cant help you"...

Even if it was just to put on some tinted lipstick. It was some of the best advice I was ever given. It slowly built up my confidence and I started to feel human again. I was able to get a job, I broke it off with my abusive ex, I stopped letting people be hurtful to me, and now I have a wonderful life. This woman is doing a great thing! She is helping these women find that confidence that was lost when they ended up in a terrible situation and got kicked out to the streets. Now we need to find a way to do this for men, too!

There’s a homeless man in town that my mum sees every day on her way to work. Every day she goes into Greggs and buys him a coffee and a pasty/sandwich/cake etc. Then she gives them to him and just chats with him for about an hour each day. He’s never asked for anything, and he’s so grateful just to have that positive human interaction every day.

I've been homeless a few times. Makeup and hair kept me feeling normal

[@peaches8348]

acali sweetheart you are strong! Thank you for being honest

[@puddincup9879]

Everyone wants to feel good about themselves. Women don't stop wanting to feel beautiful because they're homeless.

[@nikkixoxo5952]

I agree, 100%. When I was homeless doing my hair and make up definitely helped.

[@1am636]

makeup is a waste of money when youre homeless. why do you want to feel normal? its clear youre not normal if youre homeless.

[@aubreyaragon988]

I was homeless last year here in Phoenix Arizona. Wasn't too bad, just struggling to find certain job because of the 2020 pandemic. I had to find shelter, and was there for 6 months got housing and still in housing. Still struggling, and it's an everyday thing near my area. I wore makeup yes to cover the pain, and showered with baby wipes, and Suave shampoo from the church group. I'm still living.

Being homeless makes you feel like you aren't even a real person. When I lived in my car, I did my makeup etc every day to just try to blend in

[@Fumi007]

The shelter system I worked for took unused make-up and hair dye for this reason.

[@jooyeon1926]

@Amber Wallace-Mustufina It helps with self consciousness, not all people have money to be getting plastic surgery, I mean good for you for being naturally pretty and confident.

[@jessica_jam4386]

Amber Wallace-Mustufina good for you, but for these women living on the streets, makeup helps them feel better. I don’t see how your comment has anything to do with the plight of homeless women, including homeless women who wish to wear makeup.

[@NancyNegative0808]

@Amber Wallace-Mustufina and that's great and many women wear makeup and that's great. Some people just like to modify their look.

[@sarahkuuspalu7924]

So true, I feel like I'm subhuman and worthless, It's so hard to keep up a positive vibe when on streets. All your energy is spent on staying warm, or getting out of extreeme heat, worrying about where you can go to the bathroom. Getting clean water to drink. You don't have time for anything but survival. It is next to impossible to get off the streets once you are on them. A 18 month waiting list for a shelter you usually get robbed or raped at, is of zero help. Plus the shelter wants to call you and keeping a phone charged is a HUGE ordeal. Even McDonalds wont let you just sit there to charge a phone. It's a very real struggle. I knew it was tough, but had no idea how tough untill I had to live it.

[@xxLoRiTaxx]

I live in NY where their bringing shelters and taking motels that were in the area and turning them into men’s homeless shelters and a lot of people in the neighborhood are trying to get rid of them for the fact that the crime is so much higher and the neighborhoods are becoming much more dangerous for those that live here

[@mhurtou]

Talaiya Jones have you ever been to an area with a shelter? Imagine wanting to raise your family in a safe, drug free and healthy environment. Stop judging people and go talk to residents who experience the issues that come along with living by a homeless shelter.

[@Hello-gi7fj]

We need to stop saying "what if it was you" because it doesn't work. Most people like that cannot ever see beyond their own skin and don't care because it isn't happening to them and they often have credit, family, or social class to ever prevent it from happening. And most well off people I have met where it DID happen still lived better than those who came from little to begin with.

[@81velly]

There are full family's out there in skid row that we see every Saturday with shirley. They need those tents and shelters. If you were looking one of these families in the eye it would change your perspective!

[@astrid8433]

LoonToon I agree, but a lot of these people are mentally ill or have long term illnesses. When you are faced with these it can be very difficult to think clearly and make proper decisions or take action. You are at your most vulnerable. Without proper care (and if you don’t have supportive family) this can be near impossible. So it’s not just merely an issue of decision making.
