SHELTER (Full Length Documentary)

[@VICE]

For the first time in close to a decade, chronic homelessness is on the rise in America. With affordable housing facing a crunch, it's harder than ever for young families to cope. Still, some find the support they need. WATCH NEXT: Overdose Crisis on the US-Canada Border, Steel Town Down -- vice.video/2Fj1Q9x

[@joshuagalang5179]

Mental health is one of the hardest problems in the modern world. The illness comes without warning but the worse part is the relapse. Once it comes back, it hits you ten times harder. Almost from getting wacked with a bat to escalating to getting smashed by a truck. It's a hard battle for both the facilitators and the clients. You may get the best in the profession but it all depends on timing. Some may recover but some will never will. It's harsh but I've seen enough in my life to see it going on from bad to worse.

[@LOCKEDLOADED100]

Mental health is indeed real. I have lost my mom and two uncle's to suicide. I have watched wonderful people in my life spiral downhill. This world is a very confusing place to live on. Filled with hatred and divide. It's hard not to lose hope in a world that has become so dark. My heart breaks for these lost souls on this documentary. They are simply ignored by society. Treated like trash by many that don't understand. But these lost souls hold more love in their hearts. Than many people could ever fathom. Our world is always quick to turn their backs on people that are simply lost.....................

My heart broke when Matthew said his mom told him they moved, he couldn't have the address & she blocked him on Facebook. My own mom is like that too. When Liz said she immediately forgave all the times she's been hit, I felt that in my heart, too. Then seeing that girl cry because she couldn't read, made me want to hug her & help her 😟 Bless the amazing staff there! I was in New Orleans & it was such a beautiful place, I loved it.

I thought and reacted to exactly the same things. And when Elizabeth said that she thinks that people who judge are kind of dumb (and even that was said in a humble way/voice)...that also made me feel for her so much. And when she told about when she was a child (like a minute before), and how she just instantly forgave people who hurt her and still loved them totally...I could see her as a child, in her eyes, and my heart felt like breaking. What awful things she must been through. And her Mom leaving her when she was 4 or 6... And on top of it all, she always asked everyone if they wanted a cigarette, with that clear, angelic like voice of hers.... I really hope all of these kids the very best, and applaud them for staying strong and trying their best, even though life must seem very difficult, dark, unfair and there doesn’t seem much to look forward to often, I’d guess. Then again, diamonds are made under intense pressure, and things Always change. I hope they know that and are reminded of that❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️
