About FIRSTHAND: Homeless
----------
Homelessness is a widespread and complex issue in Chicago and other American cities, with no quick answers or simple solutions. While the public, media, and even policymakers often look away from the problem, WTTW spends a year focused on the challenging experiences and unique perspectives of unhoused people across the Chicago’s neighborhoods in Firsthand: Homeless.
FIRSTHAND: Homeless is part of the award-winning FIRSTHAND multiplatform, multi-year initiative focusing on the firsthand perspectives of people facing critical issues in Chicago.

It was so hard being homeless in Chicago. My family turned their backs on me and put me down. They wouldn't let me live with them.Talked about behind my back. I lost so much weigh. I almost died three times living on the street. I went from state to state.Churches to get food clothing toiletries. I went to shelters, and it was so dangerous being there. I finally got an apartment and now working on getting a home. It was God who carried me through my whole journey. I forever L♥️ ve my Father for helping me make it through the storm. I thank him daily. I 🙏 every morning before opening my eye and getting out of bed.

There are homeless people who don’t have mental health issues or addiction problems, addiction just compounds the problem. Homelessness can happen to anyone.

To be treated like crap because you don’t have material resources is evil… Period.
-
That church should be ashamed of themselves for not helping this lady. What is the church for if they can’t help her
-
This video brought me to tears. Father, provide a safe space for Ms. Yolanda.

🤨 My mother came to live with me 10 years ago. There's no way I'd allow my mother to be on the streets. I thank God 🙌 that he has empowered me to help her. 🎉 She just turned 85 on April 19th. God is good!

What the general population don't realize is that homelessness can happen to anyone at any time homeless people are still human beings so treat them as such!!
-
To throw away her husband ashes is freaking awful. How sad and unimaginable that there are humans walking around like that. No one is perfect. We make mistakes, we learn, we change , and we do better. May the Lord guide and protect her.
-
Judge not that you be NOT judged .
-
No one in that church could help her? What's the use of your religion if you don't actually help people in need? When do you apply your kindness?
-
How can we directly help & checkup on this dear elderly woman? 😢🙏💙

This hurts my heart🫂
