This is heartbreaking.

I am 51 years old. So just little younger then you. You are still human being that deserves dignity and respect. You are here for reason I assume that you probably have kids. I have one son he is 26 years old. He still needs me just in different ways then when he was little. You probably like I do have grandkids. Next to being Joshua’s mom the other privilege is being Evie’s Mimi. My mom is 77 years old. She still is important part of my life. Yes there will be people who will judge you. Those are not people that have walked in your shoes. They make lots of assumptions with out knowing all the facts. Lacking any knowledge about your life at all. You don’t need their negativity. Try not to let them bother you bother you. Don’t let them make you feel bad about yourself. This is not your fault. You did what your were supposed to do. My husband asked me after he was diagnosed with dementia. If I blamed him was he was burdened. I told him that dementia is not something that you did to cause it. It something that happened to you. That I wasn’t going anywhere. Different set of circumstances. You didn’t do anything to cause you not having place to live. It is something that happened to you. So you need help just like my my husband does.

Yes they did.

I have tried for years trying to get people. To realize that we need socialized medicine. For example Cat’s husband was sick for ten years. Because medical debt is dangerous to have at any age. But when you are in your 60s you will have no money left. They don’t care now with cuts to Medicare and Social Security. Are the plans of these greedy people. Our lives are going to get worse. I blame the right people for the problem. It is employers who don’t pay you enough to retire. It is people that don’t want affordable housing. The reason we have $15 dollars left is not because. Immigrants sleeping in chairs at Chicago police department. The reason is groceries are expensive again greed.

God bless you for giving me the information. To help her.

I agree we need to take care of everyone here first. Republicans plan on cutting Social Security. Not immigrants and after that they plan on cutting Medicare. They don’t have anything to do with us going to food bank. Groceries are expensive that’s why. They find someone else to blame it on. Hope you realize that soon.
1
First of all this typical Conservative response. They are giving all the money to immigrants. You think I believe for second that you would care. If my husband who is veteran another talking point. Along with me were in this postion. You wouldn’t give crap you support people. That cut programs that my husband depends on. Social Security always looking to make cuts. Medicare is next which my parents and aunt depend on. That you would support more programs for affordable housing. How about she only gets $65 In food stamps. You want increase the amount she gets so she can eat. Of course not. I lived in blue collar middle class household. With Dad and step dad that made union wages. People like Trump hire scabs. My step dad didn’t walk picket lines. Because he thought Republicans supported unions. Always union busters my mother. Gets my step dad pension from the union. If Republicans had there way she would lose it.
1
They should care you guys should join The Poor People’s Campaign. They recently had rally in Springfield for affordable housing. I joined few years ago because it made me feel less alone. That our voices should be heard. It doesn’t cost anything to join. I get emails from them when they are doing rallies or sometimes they virtual talks. About things that affect poor people. Rev. Barber is really committed. To helping if we stick together and start demanding things might get better. For all of us.

Immigrants are the ones who want cut Social Security and Medicare. All you have to do is hear every Republican running saying that is exactly what they will do. I don’t vote against my families best interests. Ever my husband and I will be out on the sidewalk real quick. You fall for it every time. My Aunt does to they have convinced her. That the immigrants are taking it all. So I will do what I do every time. I will vote for people that don’t want take it away from her. You should do the same. We love are veterans. Until they have dementia and aren’t useful. My husband also buy this bull every single time. There taking everything from us. But you go right ahead vote for thieves. Tax breaks for rich people.

Mine were recently pulled at low income dental clinic. The dentures are not happening right now. In the future they will. Still glad I had them pulled. Since I am 51 the infection had spread to the bone in my jaw. If you still have more that are bothering you. Google low income dental care. The state and town you live in. There should be charities and dental clinics to call. Depending on how many teeth you are missing. I have some things I did that were less than $20. For now nice sparkling face masks are not so bad.

Immigrants aren’t going to cut your Social Security. Republicans will and they won’t cut Medicare either. Republicans will for sure. My husband depends on both those things. To get us by I don’t vote for people. Who call the money he paid into Social Security and Medicare. Entitlements Republicans do. Stealing your money that they don’t think you are entitled too. Took me several hours to get him to see what I was telling him was the truth. Hopefully you realize this before November.

I am really sorry and as I have said many times. If you are ever in Illinois. You have place to park and be safe and fed. Where you can shower. What I did to help me with the same issue. They sell dollar store Ensures. They have vitamins and calories in them so you don’t get malnourished. I ended up having trouble with that when I was younger. Sending prayers and hugs from Illinois.
1
When stuff like this happened to my husband and I. We had family and friends that could help. Cat’s kids are barely getting buy themselves. If they could help they would.
1
I wasn’t trying to be rude. I am sorry. I only meant that pans extra baking ingredients. She might not have. The beans are absolutely great idea. We eat lots of black beans.
1
I didn't know you could cook corn bread on the stove. We eat a lot of rice. My husband and I are Mexican chicken casserole. Rice I bought big box usually lasts awhile. I got canned chicken on sale. Black beans were cheap. You definitely have good tips. I am sorry that I was rude.

I am going to use me as example. Cat has cancer she needs to be in California. Near her doctors for treatment. Second in my case my son is 26 years old. He has townhouse that he pays rent on. His rent is over 1,000 per month. He works at forklift repair company. Then he has child support to pay every month. For Everly that is $500 per month. He does make good money. Right now I think it is $26.00 per hour. He started putting money in retirement account. So he doesn’t end up like his Dad and me. He has car payments and insurance. His phone and utilities plus groceries. So you think I should knock on his door. Let me move in. No it doesn’t work that way. You have know idea. What it is like to ask your kids for help. It is one of the most embarrassing things. We have had to do. Her kids have other financial strains themselves. Ones that my son doesn’t have. He is not married or living with anyone. That is sick her kids are. There is no way I would move in with him. So I understand why she can’t do that. In my case my husband was diagnosed with vascular dementia over year ago. He is doing better but that can change very fast. As of now I don’t have any health problems. So I can still work. Would probably find something out here in the town I live in. For between $675-$775 to rent. Because I live in small town housing rents are not as much. If that didn’t work for me. My mom is 77 years old. She already said that I could move in with her. People have to support system that can take you in. Not everyone has that. I realize that I am have blessings these ladies don’t. This why I don’t tell people. Who I don’t know. The circumstances that their adult kids are in. To just move in with them. It’s not as easy as you think it is.
1
Finally another person that agrees with me. You are absolutely right everyone should have place to live. Housing is human right.

Everly is three years old. This my grand baby. She had cookie. Asked me where my cookie was. I said that I didn’t need one. So she broke the cookie in half. Told me Mimi now you have cookie too. My point in this story aside from the fact that I love and adore her. Is that even at her age she realizes. That giving the extra you have to someone else. Doesn’t deprive you of anything. It helps someone who doesn’t have as much as you do.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I hope no one gets offended. But that is absolute bull shit. You worked your entire life. Did everything you were told to do. Now you are old and have no place to live. Yes someday I may be in this position. But it is not now and anyone that thinks this is okay is cruel and greedy. If you ever find yourself in Illinois. You park here. You can eat take shower. I live in little town 57 miles from Chicago. No one would notice A van being in our driveway. You can sleep on our couch. Buster our dog unfortunately has some allergies. That he is being treated for. So he stinks a lot. We always had family or friends. That would let us stay for few months. With my mom myself and Joshua stayed over year, You guys don’t have anyone that can help you. Our son just paid vet bill for the dog that we couldn’t pay. So like Cat kids he does help as much as he can. I am ashamed of myself that. My husband and I have take money from Joshua. He has baby to take care of. Anything that doesn’t go to Everly or Joshua. Makes me feel like failure. If he had mother and father. Or Everly had grandparents that. Did better it wouldn’t be this way.

You are doing well good for you. My parents I didn’t bring up for reason. Because their retirement circumstances are different. You decide to take people. Who have nothing use your success. To throw it there face. My Dad is 81 years old. He retired from the pipe fitters union. Plus he worked overseas for 16 years. He has house in Katy Texas. These ladies didn’t have the same financial resources as him. He also has Medicare and Social Security. My mom is 77 years old. She retired from Southwest Airlines five years ago. Her benefit from them is she can fly for free for the rest of her life. My stepdad died in 2004 from cancer. So she gets my stepdad pension from the pipe fitters union. She has Social Security and Medicare. Because her and Bill were together for years. When he died he had investments. So my mom has those. These ladies don’t have that advantage either. After he passed way she sold their house. Bought condo in Chicago. Now she sold it few years ago. Rents from my brother and his wife. Now we will do me just for fun. My husband retired from the Navy in 2013. He receives $800 per month. When he dies I will get that unless I remarry. My husband is disabled and has dementia. So he is getting SSDI now. When he dies there won’t be anything to get. Because my husband was in the service. I stayed home with Joshua. So over the course of prime earning years. There was nothing made. That you have it better then these ladies or me. That my parents are retired and okay. Is something you count as blessing. That you won’t be in this situation. Then if you are not heartless creep. You share some of your money with people that have less then you. Don’t worry I already know how this goes. We love of our troops. Until they get sick then the hurry up die part starts.

Cold hearted to say the least. This guy kicks people. I can’t stand cruelty.
1
If it was me I apologize.

I agree yes we need to help everyone here first. Immigration including those who cross the border illegally. Comes out of separate federal spending. People sleeping in chairs at the police department in Chicago. Are not going to cut my husband’s Social Security. Conservatives certainly will. They won’t cut Medicare either. Republicans will for sure. Republicans call these things entitlements. I don’t get where they get this from. We pay into system our entire time we work it is our money. When someone tells you aren’t entitled to your money. Tells you the immigrants are taking it. When they plan stealing that money from you. You shouldn’t take anything they have to say as being truthful. Join The Poor People’s Campaign. That’s what I did in my state they just rally in Springfield for affordable housing. I used to watch Rev. Barber on TV before. Joining is free.

This is bull shit. You deserve place to live everyone does. You could fall and that it is definitely dangerous. My mom fell at home and had compound fracture in arm. Then she passed out in her bedroom. Fortunately my brother was with her. You have serious health issues. That she doesn’t have. You need place to stay. I don’t know where you are. I am in Illinois.
1
I know your comment is few months old. But I have $5.00 it isn’t much but if. We all gave little it might help.
1
I can send $5.00 my husband and I are okay. She needs help there isn’t anything else I can do to help.

I live in little town about 57 miles south of Chicago. Of about 5,000 people here because it is rural area lots of people camp and fish. Little RV wouldn’t stick out at all. Like I said if anyone is in Illinois. My husband and wouldn’t care if you parked here. We don’t have many police officers in our neighborhood anyway. But we do have food and shower. Our couch doesn’t smell great because of our dog. But you can be safe even if you only stay few days. We do have good food pantry. At my grandmas old church. That does give groceries. Our son and us use it when things are really bad. I just worry about all these women being alone. The times that we didn’t have place friends or family always would let us stay. You guys don’t have anyone to ask.
1
Probably not but I hope and pray you’re wrong. My husband and I are fortunate enough. To have place to live. We live in small town outside Chicago. We have lived here for 8 years and our landlord. Has never raised the rent. The house is barely livable. But we are blessed to have what we do have. I just want everyone to be safe and fed in this country. I don’t think that is asking too much.
1
I care but don’t have much to share right now. But always willing to help. ❤️🙏

The people cutting the Social safety net. Are not Ukrainian or Israeli. Foreign Aid is separate from spending for Social Security and Medicare. Which Republicans plan on doing. I agree we definitely need to send less in foreign aid. More on Social programs at home. I am not voting for the party. That tells me the money I paid into Social Security. I am not entitled too. Republicans call both programs entitlements they don’t plan you getting anything.
1
If you are ever in Illinois. My husband and I would let you park here. You can eat and shower. We have couch you can sleep on. Our dog smells bad. We had bad times. So I don’t want someone else to not have help during bad times. Sending prayers and hugs from Wilmington Illinois.

I noticed it too. Used to be different when we lived in Oklahoma. Everyone in our poor little town. Shared with each other. We let people stay with my husband and I our baby. When they got evicted until they could get another place. Share food and stuff and some of neighbors. Had kids and their gas was shut off in the summer. We would let them take showers at our house. Seems to work better. When people come together and share.
1
How about we leave the politics out of it. The more we fight the less help people get.
1
What do other people have to do with this?? Immigrants didn’t raise the rents so high. Greedy landlords did. Immigrants didn’t get rid of the eviction moratorium that we had during the pandemic either. Republicans did they also didn’t kick A bunch poor sick kids in Florida off Medicaid either. Republican governor owns that. People sleeping at the police station in Chicago that immigrants. Aren’t going to cut social security Republicans will. Federal spending Social Security and Medicare. Comes out of separate funds. The immigrants definitely won’t be responsible for my husband. Myself being out on the street Republicans definitely will.

My husband is disabled and has vascular dementia. I am his caregiver and work part time as Nanny. We are eating more meatless meals.
1
It is ridiculous this is the only home she has. All the things she has left. I do have $5.00 in my purse that I could send her. I wished it was more. Transmission work was something my husband used to love too do.
1
She is parking on public street because she doesn’t have anywhere else to go. This is all she. has. That you have so little compassion for her says a lot. None is something to be proud of.
1
I am very sorry for the your loss. Of both your husband and son. My husband was diagnosed with vascular dementia. Little over year ago. If he were to die he small military pension of $800. So unless I could find job my dog and cat as well as myself would be living in car. I do have family that could help. But they have doing that for 51 years of my life. I need to take care of myself.
1
I will use myself as an example. When I had child I stopped working. We moved to Oklahoma where rents were cheap. Until 2001 he then was able to go back into the Navy. I was at home with our child. Year before he retired I was 39 years old I went back to school. Since he retired I have worked part time as Nanny. He is sick now he can’t be left alone for long periods of time. When I work my neighbors or our child keep an eye on him. I haven’t paid much into Social Security. Since I am 51 by the time I retire I would just have Social Security and that wouldn’t be enough to support myself. Do I realize that I could have and should have done things differently. Of course I am responsible for the choices I made. But to say that because I only have some furniture and TV to sell to keep me going. Once I retire is something that I should be ashamed of. Is silly we all do the best we can at the time. Hindsight is always 20/20. We each don’t know anyone’s individual circumstances. It takes your entire life to reach retirement age. There are lots of things that during that time. That can change things into situations where you can’t provide for yourself.

Exactly right. They don’t care if you don’t have boot straps to pull yourself up with.

My son Joshua is 26 years old. Right now my husband has dementia. Once the sad comes and he is no longer alive. Would my son let me move in with him. Yes he would Joshua has child of his own. If I live with him that less resources he has to take care of Everly. At the stage in my life. I have had some mental health issues. So I think that both my son and the rest of my family have done enough. If I can find job then I would be able to find some place to live. I live in small rural area. That is pretty affordable. If not then I will figure it out. Cat’s kids have other health and financial burdens my son does not have, Every mom of adult children has different reasons. For why they can’t or don’t live with their kids. I think they should be able to make them without anyone else judging those decisions.
1
I am glad that you are doing better.
1
As I said we either are going to be nation of givers or takers. My vote is givers. If you ever find yourself in Illinois. We live in small town. You can park here. You can eat and shower. I realize that will be hard depending on where you are. But anytime we were between places. We had family or friends that could help. Most of you don’t have that. Are dog unfortunately smells. He has some allergies he is being treated for. But it is just my husband and I. Our son lives on his own. I hope you stay safe. 🙏🙏

I do a lot of Asian cooking. Trying to get my husband into eating it. Is work in progress.
1
I agree our son had to have his appendix out. With insurance his bill was over $10,000. Joshua is able to make payments. But lots of people can’t. When I was living in Chicago. I was in the middle of cross walk. I saw the car coming and it wasn’t slowing down. She hit me. But I didn’t let them take me to the hospital by ambulance. I was afraid of big bill. So my mom took me. But I was just little banged up. Wasn’t hurt bad. This happened on Friday. I went to work Monday morning. I was scheduled to work in my favorite infant room.
1
Ridiculous my husband is year younger then her. He has dementia and. I am his caregiver fortunately he gets SSDI. Small pension from military. We found small rural town. We pay $800 per month. We can’t afford any place else other than where we are.
1
My husband is veteran what free stuff does he get. Discounts at restaurants don’t help if you can’t afford to eat out at all. The VA healthcare system. Didn’t give him the blood pressure medication he needed. He had stroke and because of that stroke he has vascular dementia. Yes we do have place to live. Once he is no longer alive his $800 pension is not going to keep roof over my head. Really interesting how people think he has easy. Would you like to trade places with him??
