A Day In The Life of a Homeless Person
Let's take a look at the hard life on homeless people and what their day might look like. Many of us have a daily routine that we are used to. We wake up, brush our teeth, and eat breakfast before catching the school bus or driving to work. Of course everyone’s day varies depending on what they do…their job, the school or university they attend. And in the evening most of us return to family or to our own home to settle in for the night. Not everyone though. Today we’ll be looking at how people in less fortunate circumstances spend their time. How they go about their day compared to you and I. Welcome to this episode of The Infographics Show: What do homeless people do all day?

Most of us are one paycheck away from being homeless. Stay humble
Yes. Especially since my workplace never gave me a check for half of July. They thought since it was my birthday I didnt need money....that I worked for....hard work.
Psh... Im like one pair of ripped pants away from homelessness. Literally sitting on $50 until payday next week friday. And all I have to survive until then is a few servings of oatmeal, cereal crumbs, water, and workplace candies. The rent is paid though!
Hopefully society changes quickly as too many people are on low pay. The gaps getting bigger between the rich and poor😭. Hope you both have better things come your way same for the other how many millions struggling every day to simply eat (yet were classed as a 1st world country).
@@owlaracing1106 Its honestly not the pay for me. I just have been spending extra money to eat and get in shape. Plus I live in Hawaii... so everything is oodles more expensive (I have a 500sq ft studio for $1,400... and thats an amazing deal).
True shit.
I was homeless a while ago in Toronto, Ontario. I was still going to college but no place to stay. I was allowed to use the shower facilities to stay fresh and had a few friends who would help me with food. Eventually I found a job (putting toilet paper of rolls) and moved up from there. I am so thankful for my college professor for helping me out at times and to my friends.
Congrats! Don't let anyone tell you that your toilet paper job is crappy!
So how do you have phone or computer or tablet?
Look at the tense this is written in...
@@TacoJK I am not homeless now. I was homeless. A person can get out of poverty if given the opportunity. Now i have a great job and I started a KZhead channel not long ago. Life is great now.
@@LightsaberAddict yeah...3 years ago is not long ago...
I was homeless and it was the most humiliating scariest experiences of my life. Yes, when you are broke, you do spend alot of time at the library but that gets old really quick. You have nowhere to rest comfortably. You have to look for discreet ways to wash up and keep yourself presentable or you will be treated horribly and stereotyped. You have to constantly be aware of your surroundings and try not to stay in one place too long. It's mentally exhausting and I'm sure it has shaved a few years from my life. It's something you never forget.
I feel very sorry for every homeless person
Yep
Thank you. I am there now.
I feel so sad and bad for the homeless... wish I could just hand them all my money... and share my home with them...
@ yes for the last nine years
Pray that you never find out first hand how these poor people spend their day. Please treat them with dignity and respect.
voitdive they are people too. Just have no where to go. If you have no money to give them or don’t feel comfortable giving, sit down with one and listen to some stories, they’ve got some interesting ones :) stay safe
Thank You!😐
They almost killed my parents on the freeway
But I will
Yes, they are living a miserable life, And this life isn't worth it, it's just a test, it's just a momentary thing, But Jesus is the real prize, Jesus is the real man, he is the real light and I hope he changes every single person's heart for the better and to help other people.
I was homeless myself for about three months, and if I've learned anything from it it's this: Never, NEVER take what you have for granted. Even if it's not very much, hold onto it and be thankful.
I'll do that
r/thathappened
weird flex but ok
As much as people say this it only seems to be the people who go through hard times that realize what’s most important
.ok i will
I am homeless myself as well as practically an orphan. It's really hard to do school in my opinion. I used to live at a shelter, but I got real lucky a few months later when these two people adopted me. I am very thankful for them and I'm glad I can finally be a normal teenager for once
Glad you’re okay, being homeless is hard, especially as a minor. I was homeless for some time, and I just wanna let you know that I’m happy you are okay.

What a boring story.
Dr Phil said he was once homeless. Of course before he became famous and such. it can happen to anyone and doesn't mean you're less of a person.
I was gonna like your comment until I saw you had 69 likes on it.
I totally agree.
HE was a little boy you dolt lol
Raeh L dr Phil probably got paid to say that
@@soplim8632 His DAD was homeless you idiot lol. Why would someone pay him to say he slept in his dads car for awhile lol
My little brother and I were homeless in California for 2018. We kept our hygiene up and made sure to keep decent clothes. And people were nice to us. But once they learned we were sleeping in the parking lot behind the grocery store you could see their faces change to pitty mixed with disgust. Nobody loves you if you have no money, I've been there. And if you're a man, you might as well not exist. The world is not a harsh place until people make it that way. Being homeless is not so bad if people didn't treat you so badly for being in a bad spot. People are not intrinsically benevolent. It takes an effort to be a good human. This is why people who are the poorest are often the most generous. They know from experience how spiritual it is to help another human and set aside your fear and your disgust. My one regret to not being homeless anymore is that housed people are fragile conversationalists. They are boring and timid with their topics. Being secure has never made you question the nature of things that make people shrink and fear conspiracy theories. You will never know who really cares about you until you lose the means to care for yourself. Remember that.
Also being homeless and then bouncing back if possible makes you super strong and determined to make sure that never happens again if your fortunate to get out
how do you keep your hygiene up in a park?
People who value others only because they have money are worthless anyway. You've learned a lot. I'm sure things will continue to get better for you and your brother.
How did you and your brother get out of it?
Homie you can't tell anyone that your homeless, literally move in silence 😔
When I was 6 years old I had a lemonade stand for the first time and there was this man riding on a bike so I asked if he wanted to buy anything but he said he didn’t have any money so he offered his shoe but I just gave him a free cup of lemonade but then i remember a couple of years later my dad became friends with him and let him sleep at our house even though he had drug addictions because he got kicked out of his sisters porch which is were he slept and I remember we were playing baseball and it was really fun and he had a really good heart. So we went to watch a 3D movie for him which was his first time he ever watched a 3D movie which amazed him. But later he got enough money to buy a tent and move out of our house but I’ll learn a couple of weeks later he overdosed and I miss him so much.... you never know how special someone is until there gone😥😥😭 RIP budsey aka Johnny blaze I miss you and I hope other people miss you too R.I.P. Edit: wow I did not expect to get this many likes this is the most I ever had it’s nice to know there are still some nice people with great hearts
I’m 12 now btw
THE BIG BANG i would have poured the lemonade in his shoe ;p jk sometimes people come into your life to either teach you a valuable lesson or learn one themselves, just something simple like a movie could be as amazing as receiving a ps4 when their all sold out or watching the kid who beat you up get beat up by a bigger kid lol......those are just simple things that make us happy and im glad you got to experience that in your own way 😁 later kid

I was homeless in south Florida for 9 months. I had a job, car, and smartphone, just no home, so I slept in my car. When I wasn't working, my time was mostly spent wondering the local neighborhoods and exploring the area, meeting other homeless like myself and listening to their stories (some truly heartbreaking stories out there). Otherwise, I showerd at a 24hr gym and spent a lot of time at either McDonald's or Starbucks mooching wifi and charging my smartphone and portable battery packs. Any remaining time was spent looking for new places to park and sleep - once the local cops figured out where you were sleeping they hassled you all hours of the night, my opinion of law enforcement dropped quite a bit during this time. Like, don't you fuckers have more important shit to do at 3am than pulling up behind the homeless guy in his car and and flashing your lights to wake him up just for shits and giggles? Anyway... It was an eye opening experience as a whole and I definitely have a lot more compassion for homeless now.
Yeah we become homeless when we sell our home and planning where to go during that time
Scott Engle yeah nobody cares
@@cantina2425 you cared enough to respond 🤣 Somebody piss in your cheerios this morning?
Ty for sharing
People easily forget about the working poor and how a lot of homeless people actually have jobs and aren't just lazy bums. The system simply doesn't work if you can't take care of yourself even if you're a functioning member of society.
Im homeless but blessed to have a car I can stay in. Can't imagine having nothing at all. My heart goes out to everyone that is living through this.
Good luck God bless
I’m actually scared of being homeless
It's no big deal. Just get a sleeping bag and a cardboard box and find a safe area to be homeless, than sleep in woody areas near stores.
I’m scared of it too
Me too I know it's coming see I'm special needs something to do with my brain,so my mom has to take care of me when she's gone I will be on the street and I'm scared but whatever
I’m scared of being homeless and trafficked

I was homeless for two years. I was fortunate to have someone to spend that time with (my then fiance) and a two-seater truck. We were young at the time (18-19) and neither of us had worked before. His father passed away and the house that was left to him was destroyed by vandals, along with our dog and cat killed. We were devastated, and went to stay with his aunt. After 6 days of staying with her, she kicked us out claiming I'd been snooping around in her closet for things to steal (that aunt and his other one had been trying to separate us for some time) when, in reality, I went to get a towel after a shower. My family, though they would call every day, offered us no help. We would go multiple months without showering (hard to get a job that way). We shared a package of dry ramen noodles a day (I was hospitalized for malnutrition toward the end of that period, and my doctor now says that's what caused my diabetes) and slept in the parking lot of a walmart after the truck ran out of gas. We weren't eligible to go to shelters together, and neither of us wanted to leave the other (it was a difficult time and we were all we had), so we stayed there. Eventually, we met a good samaritan who offered us a place to sleep for a night, a dozen MRE's, fresh clothes from Goodwill, and a shower. It was then we got jobs at Jack in the Box. After our first checks, we put an ad on Craigslist and met a guy who let us move in (probably the only good story off of CL ever) and we became fast friends. He and I both went to college and got degrees. Now we've separated, but I will never forget that we kept each other alive, and to this day we check up on each other. Being homeless is not easy. We didn't panhandle or drink or do drugs, though we utilized the library A LOT. We felt like a burden to the world and our families and sometimes each other, but we got through it. Now, it's my goal to one day open a sustainable, long-term shelter/community for the homeless and provide jobs for them at aforementioned shelter. It was the most awful set of experiences of my life, but it gave me drive and a purpose for the future, and so I would not trade it for anything.
Elizabeth Grace why did you separate omg :(
@@woosan6594 | They were young at the time. Despite the hardship Elizabeth described, you think their bond would be stronger, but as you grow older you do become a different person and end up not being right for one another. That happens. At least they remain friends.
What a beautiful story
@@woosan6594 Monique is absolutely right. We were young, and as we grew older it became apparent that we were on different paths in life. We still love each other, just not in the way we once did. We made a pact upon breaking up that we would be welcome in each other's homes and lives should something like that ever happen again, though I pray that it doesn't. No one should have to endure the hardships of being homeless and hungry. My pantry and shower and couch are open to any I see that are suffering in such a way, provided they are sober... Or at least want to be.
I'm more upset you guys separated. You guys went through hell as a team. No other person can say that they did that with you
I was adopted twice and homeless a few times. Life goes on 🌎
Was your life being homeless like anything in the video?
Sounds like bs. Lets see your certs. Cuz were not buyin it
Now you have a phone
@@sunnycoustergamingandcuten3851 True. How does one get back on there feet?
But the pain remains
One thing that it is not mentioned are people who end up homeless because of NATURAL DISASTERS, like Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the like. For example, there are people who are still homeless in Louisiana because of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. As of this message, it is March 28, 2019.

@@christopherb9998 Due to climate change or due to the fact that the UN’s economy is better?
Great point, regardless of how it happens no one dreamed of being homeless when they were a young child. It just shouldn't happen with all the money that floats around in unnecessary places
I'm thinking of running away from home so this video helped
@@LawrenceSimmons discipline yourself and work towards a place to go before you jump blindly into the fray. Whatever you must do to ensure that you can live a decent life after leaving, do it. Don't voluntarily become homeless... Homelessness is for when you have absolutely no other option, trust me.
I cannot imagine being homeless....especially with my child. Being homeless with my daughter is one of my biggest fears. It's one of the things that drive me to go to work everyday because I don't think I have it in me to be homeless. I try to help every homeless person I see just because....
That is why homelessness exists. It is not by chance. It is a creation that is designed to keep the slaves/proletariat working and scared.
Are you a single parent?
@@simplydad2015 well some bourgiese were poor as well?
I would help homeless people, but I used to live in India, and there are so many fakes and scammers there, that I can’t trust any homeless person or beggar
Saksham Singh I’d say just talk to them, helps you get to know the person and also comforts them cause you could be the first time they’ve had someone talk to them in a day, week or more
It's quite sad because some of them lived good lives until something very bad happened, and they had nothing to do.
Shit happens
There is always something to do just sitting in the Street waiting for your luck to change wont do you any thing
يحيي محمد Your mindset may be the exact same reason as to why it is often difficult for homeless people to progress forward
danielRO. I live in a bad area, in a bad city, Albuquerque. I can personally tell you that 99% are drug addicts, not an underestimation. Actually homeless veterans make up probably .1%. It’s a huge fad among the vagrants to claim to be veterans. Most homeless people simply want to do drugs the moment they get money, and that makes them not want to work. Felons have plenty of opportunity as well. It’s literally just drugs, the cia knows this and imports and controls drugs for this reason.
umwhoalol or they do drugs because they're homeless and do it as a way to cope or lessen their pain on whatever they're going through.

I was homeless once. For three months. I had just gotten out of an abusive relationship. I had two suitcases that I would carry with me everyday or whenever someone would offer me a couch or floor to lay my head at. I’ll never forget the kindness a co worker did for me. She allowed me to rent out her garage until I got on my feet

Being homeless is hitting the absolute rock bottom. Im sure it completely changes one's perspective on life
To put this into perspective, You're basically living life without: Running Water, Heating/AC, Electrical Outlets, a Bedroom, space, or privacy. And unless you have a decent car or tent. You're not as protected from the weather either.

I've been off and on home free since 2011. I started having seizures in my late twenties due to a head injury. After living on the streets living on the streets I learned to hacky sack, skateboard, sew, craft jewelry, garden, draw (better), make clay sculptures, make hula hoops, became a professional photographer, make beauty products from scratch, hand make patches, make buttons, yoga, became a published poet, lots of first aid, how to barter, so many new jokes, played different card games. I started a sewing group in San Francisco and 2 anime groups. One in San Francisco and one in Juneau Alaska. The thing I do most is travel. I have been to over 50 National Forest, every major city, every state, about half of the Canadian provinces, New Orleans for Halloween every year.

I had a really upsetting experience trying to help a homeless man. He was begging for money for food and I had barely any cash but fresh groceries (same day purchase) and got an entire bag of foods that wouldn't spoil quickly and didn't need refrigeration or heating. I put my $2 in cash in the bag and when I tried to give it to him he dug through the bag, grabbed the money and left all the food untouched. He was acting deaf and I knew sign language but he clearly didn't know sign to backup his story, he seemed startled when I signed fluently to him and he had no clue what I was saying. So the guy was faking deafness for pity and simplified communication just to get money out of people in their awkwardness from the "language barrier". It really burned me from helping those who beg, I'd happily share food but money no more, it's only used for alcohol and drugs in most cases.
It was raining in Germany, and I saw a woman in black begging for money in heavy rain. I gave her my umbrella so she would not need to be wet outside. She tossed that umbrella away and came to that same place. Some beggars only try to get money for drugs, but there are some who are willing to take anything so they can plan to actually survive. You need to be smart to see who is really willing.
Or went deaf on the street and couldn't learn to sign? Many homeless are also very mentally ill. There are also many that are crooks or thieves. In the end you tried to do the right thing and I respect you for that, don't let one experience keep you from trying to help others.
One time when I was in Ireland we saw a homeless person. We gave him money. Me and my family went to go get ice cream. A minute later the same guy we gave money to came and got ice cream (Also I have the same initials as you! Mary is just my middle name.)

I'm sorry that happened but not all are that way. My mom was homeless twice in her life and worked jobs kind people gave her because they knew her situation. Info think it is wise to be careful though because some people (especially addicts) prefer homelessness so that they can spend more money on their addiction or whatever negative thing that is taking their money. I have compassion for addicts but sadly you can't help them because they have to hit rock bottom and you don't want to aid in their addiction. My sister also has wound up living in her car a time or two and she worked hard all of her life going to college and working but it was in her older years when she wasn't as physically able that this happened.
I was homeless living in a tent in the woods for a year and eight months. Not the worst place to be homeless as you don't have to worry about other people or cops. But goddamn did it get cold. Some nights you go to sleep thinking you won't wake up in the morning. Not to mention all the weird shit that happens in the woods at night. For example one night during the year (both times happened in September) I'd get a really chilling vibe. And then hear something massive on two feet sprinting up to my tent and then just suddenly stopping. It'd stay outside the tent for what seemed like about an hour. Both times I was paralyzed with fear and couldnt muster the courage to move to look at what it was. It'd just stand there and make sounds like it was chewing and grinding and slobbering all over a bunch of rocks in it's mouth. I stayed on Native land. Dunno if that has anything to do with it but I never found out what it actually was.
If anyone has any ideas what it could have been feel free to share because it still freaks me out to this day.
Hell Squat Where was this native land?
@@asterirxse7146 Coarsegold, CA
😨😨😨 good god, that’s terrifying!!! I wonder what it was?? Are you sure you weren’t hallucinating from the cold or something??
If you were on native land, it very well could have either been a skinwalker or a wendigo, both feared creatures in native culture (Navajo) Google them.

I was homeless for nine months all the while pregnant with my baby alongside my fiance. I can tell you from experience that people put a harsh stereotype upon homeless people. I became homeless due to abuse and I had to runaway to a shelter. Shelters usually don't help people (I've been in a few, they'll give you resources but everything you do on your own) but I met my fiance in a shelter. The shelter I met him in, I got sexually harassed after he left the shelter after landing a job. My fiance was staying in a rooming house that did not allow women. He had to sneak me in a few times so I wouldn't sleep on the streets, some nights we did. Well, he lost his job due to cutting back his hours and he couldn't pay rent. We were on the street. To make a long story short, we did everything to get help and hardly no one would help. We applied for jobs, everything. Some companies discriminate against homeless people. Example of this - I applied for a job one day and when I came back, they had put up a sign saying they do not accept applicants from homeless shelters. We struggled in excruciating heat and cold, sleeping outside in various places while constantly making sure no one would come harm us or police wouldn't find us. The police wil give you tickets or arrest you for sleeping outside, even when you're not in a "no trespassing" area. Some police love to bully the homeless cause they're easy. People tend to think all homeless people are drug addicts or alcoholics when it's not true at all. Many become homeless for various reasons. But in the long run, in my last trimester, my fiance and I had to leave the state to homeless shelters that helped us a little better than the shelters in the city we were in, he got a job, I got medical attention for my pregnancy and gave birth... Then two weeks after I gave birth, we moved into a small apartment in a small town. It's not the best apartment, but it's our home.
For 10 months, living with only the sky and stars as a roof. I only asked money two times, it was winter snow everywhere. I just couldn't bear it at night cause all public places were closed. So these two times i gave up my pride, and asked 2 euros so i could buy a coffee at McDonald and stayed there almost all night. Pretended that i was waiting for my morning bus. To all the guys out there struggling the way i did, Stay strong, Fight on, find a way to stay healthy and clean as much as you can. And for the stuck up like i was at the beginning of my "journey", swallow your shame and open up, seek help and accept charity, they could be also a mean of an way out off the streets. Do what you need to do and swim to the surface, it will take time but you will eventually get there. A thank for the guys at Infographics Show, didn't stop watching your show even at that time. You guy's are the kind of small stuff in life that makes us enjoy it. For me it did more than entertain me. (^_^)

Then i meet my current wife at a shelter and she had same drive as me and now within 2 years we have a nice home a newish car and a beautiful daughter. Every single day we stay humble and keep working to do better and always realize it takes so little to take away what we workes for.

People judge the homeless on substance abuse but miss the horrible situation their lives are or judge when they never been in that desperate of a state the homeless person is in. Being homeless can easily be a death sentence on your life. Like explained in this video, being homeless kind of prevents you from getting work (especially if you're a prior convict as well). And when you're sleeping outside, have nothing, people avoid eye contact, endless free time, and your life is just miserable, you may need something to feel good and get by; and those things can be bought in cash. They have nothing else to make things not feel as horrible. It's a really depressing situation and it saddens me that the homeless are viewed as "lazy" or "losers" when most of them fell on some hard times but just didn't have safety nets like many of us take for granted; or have mental illness. And then the longer you're homeless, the harder it is to escape. I'm not saying that it's ok to spend all your money on intoxicants when you're homeless and you shouldn't be trying to get out of it, I'm just saying it's understandable
Crazelord91 another thing I find messed up about stuff that can lead to being homeless is the fact you need to pay to get treated for something like cancer or a broken bone. Or allergic reactions to something like a bee sting and then being homeless from it. Seriously I would rather die than be homeless if that happened to me
@@WellPreparedTreeFrog to be honest i would rather be homeless

I've had several coworkers that were homeless I remember one would sleep in his car and shower at the gym. The problem with people not being able to afford basic housing isn't caused by low minimum wage it's caused by the lack of available jobs that offer a live able wage.
I was homeless for a couple months. Kind of had a mental breakdown and left my apartment with not much money or a job. I got a backpack, a tent, made a little tin can gas stove and hiked off into the woods. I travelled around different cities, saw the ocean, ships sailing in and out of mist, coyotes, abandoned towns, beautiful sunsets and awful rain. I've always been a good drummer so I mostly made money by stopping into towns and finding some buckets and stuff and playing them for cash (there's one or two videos people have posted on youtube hanging around). It wasn't that bad for me but what eventually got hard to deal with was the loneliness. I started seeing people in the woods looking back at me who weren't there. I had incredibly vivid dreams that would stay with me all day. Got a job at a coffee shop and got a place. Got a cheap corolla, started ubering and met a recruiter from a IT placement firm. Started working their as a proposal writer, then a recruiter and now I'm an Account Executive. Life is strange.
I was homeless. It sucks cause the laws are against you. They tell you to get a job like it's a choice. Spent a lot of time in bookstores, after I put in my five applications a day and making my calls. I was lucky to have an Obama phone. At some point I managed to make enough friends who believed in me, and help me pick myself up. It's tough, no joke. I don't know if I came out of it with my head on correct, feels like nobody really cares. I have nightmares of fighting others and this being the time I lose. I don't fully trust anyone anymore. Don't get cocky it can happen to anyone. Remember the system doesn't care about you if you're single and male.
You're righ man. Single men have things more dificult. Only family men, or women get all the help and support
I knew Obama phones helped people. I'm happy knowing that obama did good things that impacted the people in need. Good job at getting out of your difficult circumstances btw.
@@3nkidu465 So free yourself and learn to not need the system
This one time we (me and my homie) were walking to the 711 down the street to buy more beer and we asked this homeless man if he wanted a fortie, so we came with us. We ended up drinking outback behind the 711 by the dumpster and getting absolutely wasted. The homeless man was telling us some crazy stories. Super cool guy, never saw him after that.
Depends where you're at when you're homeless. Most of the time you just look for food and opportunities and a place to sleep so the cops don't arrest you since it's literally "illegal" to be homeless
Yeah, it doesn't need to be homeless to know that real homeless people notice absolutely everything that is wrong with us.

Older people or the very young being homeless has to be the worst.
I'm still homeless after a medical problem kept me out of the office for more than a year, which lead to eviction and then to loss of my job. What do most homeless people do throughout the day? They worry about people stealing what little they have left in the world, they worry about finding food, they worry about their families, they worry about ever making it again, they worry about how they look, they worry about how they feel with respect to health, they worry about people walking by, they worry about police, they worry about staying too long in one place and being charged with a crime like vagrancy, they worry about what they are going to eat next, they worry about sleeping during the day because crime, in terms of physical harm and someone taking what little they have left in the world usually happens at night when it's cold and you are tired, we worry about getting clean water to drink, we worry about our future, we worry about EVERYTHING EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY while still trying to find a job and a place to keep clothes for that job... Homelessness affects more people than you think. People need to stop analyzing the "world" and help where they can and should help, their own countrymen and women.
Josh Rick sorry man that’s deep
Josh Rick you should make videos and post them to your channel
I agree. Don't think global think local. Like really local.
Where do u get internet and money for a phone huh.
that's what I keep trying to tell people but they just want to be assholes.
I feel compelled to chime in on this subject because I understand it from experience. Homelessness is big business and aside from the many factors that could result in homelessness, there are a lot of organizations, agencies, and individuals that make money from this issue. Experience has shown me that many of the people who fall into this system are forced to stay at that level. I witnessed our society create drunks and drug addicts by creating barriers that keep people from regaining their independence. It's a sick system that I have witnessed. You'd be amazed how smart and loving most "homeless" people are. Our society does little to help when people go through tough changes. Statistics have nothing to do with this issue.
Exactly!

I’ve effectively been homeless since June of this year. It can be... tough day to day but through this experience I’ve also met some of the realist, most kind hearted and generous people in my life. I do find myself wishing I lived somewhere warmer than Canada though as it’s winter now and it’s getting tough to find warmth x-x
Come to California, it gets cold but not freezing detrimental cold
Dude how’s life it’s been 3yrs?
Been there. It’s very very very tough to get back into society. Don’t get sick from work-they won’t care and it will be you.
I think you’re missing a few activities - day shelters to get baths and laundry, food pantries and soup kitchens, relatives’ homes, traveling, jail/court, meeting shelter program requirements... the list goes on. Things are a lot more complicated than you seem to know.
Thank you for sharing your experience with being homeless. It's inspiring to see that it's possible to get your life back on track after living in such challenging circumstances. And I'm also very happy to read so many compassionate comments. 🧡🙏 Feel free to also share what you, your home town or country is doing to help the homeless?
Disneyland doesn’t currently let you in for free on your birthday anymore. I doubt that homeless people are going to Disneyland.
I've been homeless on and off since I was 17 (I'm 34now)the homeless population is alot higher then 500,000 and u would be very surprised to know a good amount of them including myself work but no regular job will have any homeless person work for them witch is sad and the funds that go to help the people with these types of problems ends up in someone's pocket
Arab country's are Muslims and every one of us would probably give the needy people money or food
I remember this summer ( or last idk ) I saw this homeless guy who everyone in my town knows is the " homeless guy " and he was just in the parking lot of the restaurant I was in and so me my mom and a server gave him $10 and some water
Seattle Washington has many youth shelters that help young adults get back on their feet
I was eating inside a McDonald’s with some friends when a homeless man entered and started asking people for money so he could eat. He came up to my table and asked if he could have some money for food, I told him I didn’t have cash on me but I offered him my food and he rolled his eyes and scoffed at me then walked away. Ever since then I’ve always been hesitant whenever someone asks me for cash.
It’s sad that people like that ruin perspectives of how homeless people really are. As a homeless woman, hearing people doing that and ruining chances for others to get help is devastating
Same thing happened to me once.
My rule is to always offer food if they ask for money straight up you know where it's gonna go already🍺💉
@@BustyNutz how do you know if they use it for drugs some homeless people actually use money for things other than drugs
@@JACKAL747 like what?? they could've asked for the person to get them the certain thing and also not all of the homeless people use it for drugs but mostly they do because it takes them away from the reality there leaving in and without feeling they may take several a day which may lead to overdose so do you research first

Disney land doesn’t let people in for free anymore, that was a promotional that ended years ago
too bad. I was on my way.
A large portion of the people working as regular hourly workers inside the Disney Parks are also homeless and live in their cars as well. Even some of the princesses make less than ~$15 an hour and can't afford a place to live with those kinds of wages.
It's like 60 bucks for a day pass.
Yeah, that was a weird inclusion in the video. The fact is there are only 2 Disney theme parks in the US, and getting to them would be a problem in the first place, not to mention the offer was only valid for 1 day out of the year.

I've been living in my car for two years. I had an eviction due to losing my place to live when the landlord increased the rent astronomically, and I couldn't afford to keep up. Making matters worse, I currently live in Southern California, which is the only one of the most expensive places to live, but also one of the most difficult housing markets to deal with when you have an eviction on your record. Everyone blames you by default. It doesn't matter how greedy the landlord was, it doesn't matter what financial hardship you were personally in. All they see is that you didn't pay your rent, and therefore it's your own fault. Sad fact about that, is that my next door neighbors were drug dealers who made and sold meth out of their apartment... And got to stay because they pay their rent; blind eye and deaf ear from the landlord as to how they did it. I still currently work, and have just been trying to save money. People don't realize that being homeless is quite expensive. they think you're supposed to just live off of Top Ramen and water until you magically save thousands of dollars to get into a place. If only it worked like that. one thing I have learned from being homeless: the homeless situation won't actually get better until the powers-that-be that can actually prevent it, and help those in need, actually choose to prioritize those in need. All around me have I seen multimillion-dollar homes and condos being built, yet they still claim that housing for homeless is years off, and there's no budget for it. I'll figure my situation out, and I'm confident that I'll be okay. But it's those around me sleeping on the street, with no prospects going for them whatsoever that I have been the most concerned about. Our society really needs to change the way it does things, and stop being so damn greed oriented.
I agree, their should be more help for them people are quick to judge, slow to help that's the problem.
Start by shooting and robbing your local drug dealer.

I use to be homeless for 3yrs *while* waiting for my SSI Disability. I actually made a youtube channel & recorded daily activity for years (you wont find it only I can view it, sorry). But yes I agree... I was homeless because of a disability. As a homeless person it was horrible. We (my wife & I) lived in a park across the street from OC Sheriffs. Panhandling & collecting recyclables in order to get my pain killers (which I would sell for motel money). I am 3yrs sober & clean & been off the streets for 3yrs now.
Who brushes there teeth before eating, the food will taste bad and then your getting them dirty again
@A Snowflake yes but your teeth will be clean for a long period of time
I do when I wake up in the morning and than have breakfast. You are eventually going to eat so your mouth is always gonna be dirty unless you brush after every meal which seems weird.
Eat breakfast first and then brush. Logical, to me lol
You’re gonna eat eventually
Acidic food and drink like orange juice weaken enamel, so when brushing it’ll brush away weakened enamel and damage the tooth. That’s why I brush first, and brushing first gets rid of buildup of plaque overnight quicker.
My older brother spent a few weeks homeless and went a few rounds ranging from sleeping in a borrowed family car to sleeping in a shelter. He went to the library too. But he blew a lot of money that he owed on movie tickets during the night when the libraries close. When He confessed his plan to commit suicide before his inevitable sentence to prison, I won him out of it with an offer to take him to the movies. I also spent one cold night in his borrowed sleeping car before he transitioned to shelters. But the biggest reason he was homeless for that time was his own fault. He wasn't allowed to be near any kids and my older sister was honestly afraid of him. Luckily he got out of prison, then out of the halfway house, and is finally independent and living on his own work wages. I'll be playing Smash Bros Ultimate with him soon.
Wait a minute, you just implied he was a pedophile. Why is it a good thing he got out of prison?

Wow, I actually learned a lot from this video about homeless people. Speaking of that I always learn a lot from your videos, KEEP IT UP😸
Thoughtful video. I’m surprised you didn’t mention picking up and returning cans/bottles. Panhandling/selling used or handmade items/picking up cans/bottles are what I usually see homeless people in New York City doing. I shoot around (basketball) with one guy who I suspect to be homeless in the summers. I know I should help him out but not exactly financially secure myself at the moment. Maybe we all should do more volunteering at a church or other community facility. Thanks for the video
Hard to trust a stranger into your home.
I live in South Florida where the homeless population has exploded since the price of housing is so expensive. Every corner or ramp near the highway has at least 1 or more homeless persons panhandling or sleeping on the benches or in front of stores. I try to give them waters from the cooler that I keep in my vehicle for work. Or if i have smaller bills on me i try to help that way. But it seems that since its so hot down here that most are grateful for an ice cold water on a 95 degree day.
Wake up, stash sleeping bag, see if I can find work, if not alcohol and hit the library. Stay there all day or walk to places that serve free food. More booze, sleep repeat.
Wake up, drank , pull up Drank, pull out nope

Great episode! I was homeless for about 2-3 years with my mom, Had a job just like everyone else and never had a drug problem but due to unforeseen circumstances we lost our home. Definitely the hardest part was finding out where to sleep every night and people looking down on you for being homeless. Fortunately now I have a good job and a new place. Just remember anyone can become homeless and not every situation is hopeless
Todd Olin aka "Todd the Volunteer" is a homeless man that lives near I do and travels between local cities cleaning brush, picking up trash, cleaning graffiti, and just being an overall great guy. He has a GoFundME and has gotten like $30k which allows him to sleep in cheep motels while he does his things of cleaning the streets
So basically he is a self-employed now, good for him, although I really wouldn't call sleeping in cheap motel a great way to live a life. Hopes he doesn't get into trouble often though, occasionally graffiti cleaning can get messy, both in terms of their location and the ire of the creators.
@@Verpal He's still technically homeless and doesnt have a "real" job. He more or less survives off of the kindness of others but in my opinion he earns so its one of those weird situations where one could try to fault the man for not just getting a real job like everyone else while on the other hand, people shouldnt be forced to participate in our capitalistic market if they dont want to assuming they arent a complete burden on society
@@zakleclaire1858 So long no one is advocating free cash hand out here, everyone should be free to live their life without participating in the ''Capitalistic'' market. I don't assume homelessness automatically mean burden to society, yes, that's often the case, but we should treat human as individuals, rather relegating them into group identity.
For some reason I don't consider him homeless. His homes are the hotels he gets to stay in. Seems like someone who is lucky to be able to do things they enjoy while having people support them.

@Danny Ryanson or it could be the person can't afford a lawyer.
Depending on your state just from your situation you can get unemployment benefits, snap, and get a lawyer to help you out. Find a library or community organization that can help you with this.
Hey hang in there. Things wont get better until you make them better. First try to get unemployment if nothing else, you deserve it. Take pictures of your injury before it heals up also for proof. If you dont get it and you know you deserve it sadly the pain from loss will make it even hard harder. Making positive life choices is your only hope. Dont let your mind and those that hurt you destroy your vigor, you can do this. Dont let others get in your head, the problem with being damaged in life is it gives extra time to dwell on their hurtful actions. You can do this, I will have you in my thoughts, i hope this helps...

People in my area usually sit on a park bench and talk to random people as they pass, ask for money or they shoot up heroin. The drug problem is bad in the homeless community in the areas of York, lancaster, and Philadelphia. I've seen at least ten overdoses in the 17 years I've been living here. It's sad because they have nowhere to go so they turn to drugs, commit suicide or just die from starvation and sickness. People need to understand that this is a problem bigger than any other in America. The poverty rate in pa alone is extraordinarily high and it's going up slowly, along with other states such as California, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Florida. If you see someone less fortunate than you, help them. You'd want help if you were in the situation that they are in.
Humans aren't all the same. And not everyone will make it cause this system only want people with a very specific ability. Like paying taxes
Yep. As someone who also lives in Pa, the amount of people I’ve seen who are homeless is honestly a shame. You go into Pottstown, Philly or Reading and you can see them everywhere. I wish more was done to help them/ prevent it in the first place.
The problem is that in America there is no fishnet for the poor, no labor laws protecting people from abusive fiiring (or you need to afford a lawyer), and no free healthcare. Like you can be ruined by one operation. I live in France, andraditionaly we have those things. Unfortunately we are becoming more like America though.

I spent my day getting bottles and cans to recycle. It was honestly the most free I've been. Yeah it was tough but it's alot tougher having society rules and bills to pay to stay afloat. It's almost like the weight of your financial difficulties are gone but your food and shelter worries are increased. You do feel alot more free without common things you'd normally have to stress about tho. You meet different type of personalities and although some are pretty tough from living a long difficult life most are extra friendly and willing to give you anything they have. So now that I have came back to a "normal life" I do appreciate being homeless and getting to live through that experience. I see homeless people different having been there.

Here in Sweden homeless people sell berries (usually blueberries) they picked from the forest half of the year, and panhandle and sell wooden spoons in the colder half of the year. There is also a homeless guy named Håkan who has become a bit of a legend. People tell stories of their encounters with him in school, everything from cracking jokes to him pretending that a PVC pipe is a bazooka. This is all from my experience with the homeless people in my area, and I am one hundred percent sure that this stuff varies alot from place to place.
Headset Squirrel round up all the homless people who collect berries and create a stand where you sell them and take a commission for selling them, explain to them you could sell way more if you have a stand or sell them door to door, or deliver them house to house ;) figure out a way to profit from that and help the homeless at the same time by taking something they already do and figure out a way to make it more profitable 😊 create homemade blue berry jam and put it in little jars with a ribbon and sell it door to door with the ultimate goal of getting it into restaurants or stores ;p market it as natures best or something you know? i havent figured out what to do with the wooden spoons yet but regardless theres opportunity there man......figure it out and best of luck 😋 peace

OR once he gets popular enough you could create an app called hakan vs the refugees ;p it'll be things like 100 refugees rush a giant pot of food like zombies and you have to flick them back over a desert backdrop *back to africa* and when you flick enough of them back they rush you on camels with spoons! and you get your power up and upgrade to your bazooka and blow those camels up lmfao!! after you win you hear hakan say "they didnt earn that" 😂 see i made that game up as i went along but tell me people in your country wouldent play that if you had funny levels like that about REAL WORLD ISSUES lol. and if you have a comedy skit where hakan drops grenades into isis turbans *what they wear on their heads* then you can turn that into a level on the game ;p or something crazy like a bunch of refugees took over a building and hakan scales the building like king kong and punches into it and eats the refugees!!! lmfao! 😂 okay i took that from an American video game but that concept is freaking hilarious lol......my point is if you make that game it WILL sell in your country and you can base it on real life shit with a funny twist 😋
in america they make shows about buying storage units, they make shows about catching catfish with your ARMS, and shows about catching lobster in the ocean.......so if someone can make a show about that? then ANYONE CAN MAKE A SHOW ABOUT ANYTHING AND BE SUCCESSFUL including you ^.^ i have two concepts for tv shows in my head that i know people will watch and 3 movies that i hope to make a reality before i die lol.....so we all have dreams, but those dreams could easily be a reality if you act upon them. anyways talk to you later my friend 😎👊
