Скачать или смотреть I Gave Up Everything to Get Sober... and Ended Up Homeless

She gave up her house, her phone, and her entire life to escape addiction—only to end up homeless in a motel room with roaches, leaks, and no way out.

Francine is 2 years sober. No relapses. No screw-ups. But the system designed to help her is keeping her stuck. She wants to work, but if she gets a job, she’ll lose her housing. The county spends $1,875 a month on motel rooms like hers—more than it would cost to rent a real apartment.

This is the hidden reality of how America "shelters" homeless people.

🛏️ No kitchen
🪳 Roaches crawling on kids' clothes
💧 Water leaking through the ceiling
🚫 Nowhere safe for children to play

Francine’s only wish is to get her daughter back and live a normal life. But the system punishes her for trying.

Watch her story. Share it. And help change the broken system keeping people trapped in homelessness.

About Invisible People

Invisible People works to change public perceptions of homelessness and influence policy change. Many people mistakenly blame homelessness on individuals rather than systemic issues like affordable housing shortages, unemployment, childhood trauma, and insufficient wages. This misunderstanding hampers efforts to address homelessness effectively.

Our vision is a world where everyone has a home. We aim to fight homelessness by humanizing it and educating people about the systemic issues behind it. Through storytelling, education, news, and activism, we are shifting the narrative on homelessness.

Our impactful educational content reaches millions monthly, breaking stereotypes and prompting action from governments, brands, nonprofits, and individuals. Yet, the fight continues as homelessness remains a major societal issue that requires immediate action.

Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to educating the public about homelessness through storytelling, news, and advocacy. Since 2008, we’ve been a pioneering and trusted resource in North America and the UK, inspiring action and dialogue around poverty.
