12:45 am
hey we're almost there you remember this. hi there i love that there are you. here it is. so this is where we used to live at the union rescue mission this is the prime. now we stayed here 8 months. at 1st there were so many families women and children here that we stayed in the day room which is basically like a large dining room large cafeteria style setting linoleum floors it looks like a gymnasium. but we had air mattresses and slept on the floor for the 1st couple of months so from that however until december and then in december we were placed into a room and because my daughter was with me and not my side it was just me and one
12:46 am
child i was sharing a room with 4 other mothers who all had one child with them and that's my own. writing. i did meet jackie or both of us go. to adelaide every afternoon.
12:47 am
this is about 75 miles 80 miles from our home but the longest distance is when we do venice sunset i'm on a club that takes at least an hour and 45 minutes to get there. we do this 5 nights of the monday through friday. noon skidrow in dot com and tuesday it's called you were wednesday in south central l.a. and spins venice and santa monica. is again down the civic center in. union station in new. delhi and we never designed a program. it's conserve them get out what they are going to ask them any questions don't judge them that's muddy waters and how they ended up being on the street it's not our job to judge them. nobody likes to be
12:48 am
a speed scooping on the payments with air traffic running that own in a totally unsanitary conditions that's nobody's wish to be that way. there's a 1000000 reasons why people become homeless it's not always mental illness and it's not always drug addiction yes those are true. i think those are 2 reasons that have a really negative connotation so it's easy to say only crazy people become homeless it is easy to say only attics and drug users become homeless that's never going to happen to me and my family but the truth is in the united states most people are a paycheck or 2 away their their one unpaid credit card away you know their one
12:49 am
payday loan away. their one unexpected pregnancy away their one job loss away there are so many reasons why you could end up homeless and unable to pay your bills and unable to keep a roof over your head and your family's had. lots of people leave the foster care system and have nowhere to go you turn 18 years old and you are out that's it you go from having no parents and just a foster family to being on the street all the sudden you're 18 it's like you're an adult figure it out. when you're living on the street when you are unsheltered person when you have nowhere else to go you have nothing to look forward to. i really think that i can
12:50 am
understand how easy it must be to slip into drug use and then fall into addiction because if you've just got nothing else good going on in your day and you need something to make you feel good. i can't imagine. that there is. you know. i can't imagine that much else is going to make you feel good at that point when you hit rock bottom it's like. it is what it is i don't sell. and the new immigrant coming from india it was where he when he heard forgive me because i was seen by our people appear. good bothered me here to see these homeless people who are raised here on here such a wealthy country of the world the wealthiest country in the world. and yet these
12:51 am
people are going through trash cans. so why. am i not in a split seconds. and. we have a program or she and i mean we used to leave the food to park meals to the homeless that i would be on the street off most attention. span.
12:52 am
on the now bridge. 152. 200 meals the night. we make you don't whine that we don't have them form on line if somebody comes to the truck goes in the mine in my opinion is kind of. eat human life eat it that's not the idea that we started did we wanted to give dignity is a big thing with the. father set up a table and sickness water on the way and say check out. my
12:53 am
life. and told the wall and gives as well as. this is something i would like to see the wall and tears of the sea more than war did give me. you're going to. treat me all your stuff and write. down down down we might be passing on a few boats worked out but ito if we've got some donations of will being sent into the woods is. the moment here what you get is an experience of compassion that confession to not because our compassion can only be expedient. and you don't want anyone. that's priceless. worth remembering. i was basically faced with that situation where the
12:54 am
a part manager knew i didn't have any way of paying mediately. but when i told her i was going to start working and i had family that would cover the rent until. and it didn't matter she said. that she knew i was going to go back to him that she'd seen it happen hundreds of times before where. women claim that they're being abused and then they run right back to the man that they're alleging abuse against and she didn't want to deal with that trauma and she thought it was better if i just moved out. the manager gave me a deadline to leave before she filed the eviction people work and so i left. because i knew it was just going to be that much harder to find an apartment if i had an eviction on my record but the day that i left the apartment. i really i did
12:55 am
not have anywhere to go. i had a little bit of money from my aunts and so i went and a hotel room at langley. and i was staying in hotel rooms by myself or like i didn't have enough money and i would see by far. and i would try to. like. like i had packed up and put everything into storage but i didn't really know how he's going to pay this storage bill and how many going to pay. you know to keep the kids' o's and their toys and things like that and so i started selling things out of a storage unit to keep the storage unit and then going and selling blood. i was working. doing online transcription. so that was piece rate it was very
12:56 am
very small sums of money i might work all day and make you know $15.00 i had never been on welfare before i had never been on assistance. i've had unemployment when i had lost jobs in the past but i had never gotten food stamps i had never gotten any . and to go from. having had a job since i was 13 years old to being in a motel wondering how i'm going to get $40.00 to find somewhere for me my kids to sleep it was like an impossible momentous i just had no comprehension of how do i get to a homeless shelter. so that whole process was from may 15th of 2007 to a route into domestic violence shelter to live. so all those months were in motel rooms or sleeping in the.
12:57 am
drugs don't do is come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we seem very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids invited to america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer so who's to blame patients don't use manufacturers all the governments in. the global field money ponzi scheme has hit them off 1st it was down collapsing like burning made a lapsed and now we're going back to poverty so the answer is always bad you need actual sound money like gold but of course that doesn't work so much as big coin does then what will happen is they'll be hundreds of millions and billions of
12:58 am
people in the world that'll say they're such a bank and they're in their nation state and government will say you know what i don't. we just want to have our own money have our own peace of mind and you can go what. thomas has. to demonstrate is right now the propaganda machine. is to rush. to. live . locally. i'm sure.
