“Every homeless women I’ve ever met has been raped” Heartbreaking

"When they find out I'm homeless....they treat me differently" That's heartbreaking to me💔😭💞

When I was out of high school, I started working in a McDonald’s. I met this homeless lady who lived in a literal box with no air conditioning, no nothing besides her belongings. She would always come in. She managed to get a job there with me. We became good friends and boy she’d tell me stories about homelessness long story short she ended up staying there for about 2 years and became a store manager. Now she lives in a home in Texas, has recently married, and is living her best life.

“Every homeless women I’ve met has been raped” That’s crazy. God save them please.

Imagine being against letting someone have a roof over their head while you're over here with a roof over your head...

How can anyone hear that women are being raped on the benches of parks and still demand these women are not given proper housing?

When I was a kid, my dad became homeless, even though he had a job. He slept in his car and still went to work and took care of himself. He would still come pick me up every other weekend to spend the day together. I know even at a young age how much he needed to spend time with me during those rough times. It broke my heart to see him in this situation but we made the best of those time. He never complain about anything, and always made sure I had a good time. It's been many years now and he has a better job and a home to go back to. Homelessness can happen to anybody, even the most hard working and kindhearted people like my dad.

I feel it. When I was homeless I always had my makeup, something about it just made me feel a little more human. I was pregnant and too scared to sleep in the streets so I called a little hidden corner in a park my home. It was a struggle but now I'm housed with a beautiful little boy.

"If a woman is out here by herself she's a walking target. Every homeless women I've met has been raped" So sickening and scary

I've been homeless twice myself. Now, I am a homeowner. Don't give up!

When she gave him the silk shower cap and she started crying, I held back tears. We can all learn some compassion.

My heart goes out to these women. I was homeless for about a year, in Washington state, living in a truck with the man who was sex trafficking me. People want to judge and say "your nails are clean. not homeless". "you have makeup. not homeless" "you have tampons. not homeless" "you have a cell phone. not homeless" but having those resources is not the same as a home. I had a phone and a kindle fire from when I was NOT homeless before I lost my job--I kept them while I was homeless. Had no money for service--I could only connect in a local cafe or fast food place that had public wifi, maybe a grocery store. Used a wifi text messaging service to communicate when I could. My trafficker would steal me makeup so I looked better for dates. Did any of that erase the reality of me going home to a truck every night, with two broken windows, under piles of sleeping bags in the winter, still shivering underneath? No. Furthermore, being homeless is in of itself a shame-bringing situation. I loved to cover my face with makeup too, when my trafficker stole it from the store. I wanted to hide as much of myself from the world as I could, until I could no longer recognize my own face. I didn't want to be me anymore. If you've never been homeless, and you don't feel particularly inclined to care about them, just wait. My mom and dad didn't really think much of homeless people either...until I, their daughter, found myself on the streets. They care now. And so do I.

That $4 eye shadow pallet she bought isn't going to save her physically. But it might save her mentally.

"When they find out I'm homeless....they treat me differently" “Every homeless women I’ve ever met has been raped” This is not right. It's heartbreaking. No one "deserves" to be treated that way

I feel so bad for the mayor. Knowing that he has to face all the rude things that people say to him that he represents just to get "BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT!" from trying to help homeless people on the streets. This is absolutely RIDICOULOUS

the woman, who ran from her abuser, that was trying to kill her is amazing ... I hope she keeps going and overcomes all struggle

Y'all gotta donate your James Charles palette instead of destroying them.

Lady with green hair , fucking beautiful inside and out

The sexual assault, abuse, etc women go through on the streets is absolutely sickening. Its proof that men genuinely have it easier.

When she said to the homeless woman when she was washing her hair ”How does that feel, Queen?” 🥺

Abandoned malls can be turned into micro apartments

That lady with the green hair is an incredible and beautiful human being, and what she’s doing is truly heartwarming.

I am one of these women. Rent raised, lost my job and I needed to take a roommate. 2 seems later they had me arrested and I lost my home. Squatters have all the rights and landlords have none. I got out of jail the next day I was released but they put a NO CONTACT ORDER. I never went home again! I had the clothes on my back and my$500 car. This was all done with the law behind them

As someone who is 20 and was homeless for the majority of my life I feel like the real problem is people keep having kids they can’t take care of and those kids just become forgotten adults who end up on the street. I understand there are certain circumstances that make someone homeless like loss of jobs and stuff and that of course needs to be addressed. But I was homeless at 14 simply because the family that adopted me thought I was “damaged goods” and “couldn’t make them any more money” I had been with this family since I was 3. So from 14 to currently 20 I have had to fend for myself. There are so many people not just kids who are sitting in the system because their family failed them first not the government

Arien is no longer homeless! She works at Chipotle and has a safe place to stay each night! She was featured on the channel Invisible People. The channel has several videos of her while she was homeless, but the most recent update video states that she’s no longer on the streets!

Those of y'all who think that self grooming is a waste of money, it is not as they are more likely to get jobs if they look presentable

It's already scary enough to be a woman alone in public... to be a woman with no shelter, no protection, no money... I can't even imagine.

I wish so badly that I was a billionaire on billionaire and could just help out soooo many people in need, even those on drugs who need housing and rehabilitation, single parents, immigrants, all my family!! All I want is life is happiness for people, and this video just showed proof that other people truly do too❤️❤️

Erian isn't homeless anymore, god bless her soul.

This is what the "beauty guru's" and "influencers" of LA should be doing in their spare time, not arguing and creating drama in their community, but giving back to it! Power to Shirley ❤️

One time during thanksgiving I was giving bags of food and money to homeless people and I gave one to this lady and when she saw the 6 dollars her heart just melted she started crying tears of joy! I was so confused back then bc I was supper young but now that I’m older I see that even 6 dollars are like 100 dollars to these people on the street! ❤️🥺

It is so crazy to think how some of us are obsessing over designer items when people are barley getting by. I am so grateful for the life I live and may everyone feel the same. God bless them and every single one of them are so beautiful.

The people protesting against homeless housing are disgusting. These are the same people that will cry a river if it happened to them.

The rich is get richer and the poor is getting poorer..

Feeling so ungrateful with my life right now 🥺💔 thank you god for all my blessings praying for all these people that are going thru a hard time in their life right now 🙏🏽

I was homeless last year here in Phoenix Arizona. Wasn't too bad, just struggling to find certain job because of the 2020 pandemic. I had to find shelter, and was there for 6 months got housing and still in housing. Still struggling, and it's an everyday thing near my area. I wore makeup yes to cover the pain, and showered with baby wipes, and Suave shampoo from the church group. I'm still living.

I think the scariest part of all this is that it can happen to just about anyone.

Someone give this women a job at Sephora

At first, I was thinking "isn't that a waste of money?" but thinking back to when I was in therapy for cptsd, depression, and a complete mental break, my counselor told me to do at least one thing every day to make myself feel pretty. Even if it was just to put on some tinted lipstick. It was some of the best advice I was ever given. It slowly built up my confidence and I started to feel human again. I was able to get a job, I broke it off with my abusive ex, I stopped letting people be hurtful to me, and now I have a wonderful life. This woman is doing a great thing! She is helping these women find that confidence that was lost when they ended up in a terrible situation and got kicked out to the streets. Now we need to find a way to do this for men, too! Haircuts could go a really long way and help them to look more put together when looking for a job.

Can we talk about how well she just did her makeup ... it’s so amazing

People need too realize most of us are only one check away from being homeless....so never look down on someone because of their circumstances

"homeless is NOT a choice. there is a story behind every struggle." I love these words

I watched this thinking 'Homeless women have more important things to worry about then their beauty'. This changed my mind. Mental health and mindset are important components to help them fix their lives. If a little makeup helps with this, then it's a good thing.

“Everyone needs to look pretty” No, everyone needs to FEEL pretty

Ariel's makeup game is stunning. I agree. There are not enough safe places for WOMEN. Safety IS an issue

"how does that feel, queen. " 😢

In tears, may Shirley be blessed and may the hearts she touches be blessed 🙏🏾💓

Thankyou for this video. After dealing with homelessness myself, Feeling beautiful and meeting your TRUE eyes in the mirror is an immeasurable step to confidence, confidence and self-love are the first steps to be able to figure things out. I feel lucky living in Australia, but, it's still so difficult. Your stats are right from what I know, and women, ARE most vulnerable, I do feel so deepy for the men dealing with these problems, I hope men can feel beautiful again too, and everyone to grow into their lives with dignity, humility, and a drive for purpose

I feel so grateful for being able to lay in my bed and watch this right now

those protests give off "if you're homeless, just buy a house" vibes 🤧

I’m happy to have seen this video pop up in my recommended I get so inspired by videos and people like Shirley I hope to be able to give back like this to my community someday when it comes to helping out our homeless

"It's important to put something and see something other that what we are going through" this made me cry :,(

NETFLIX please sponsor this series! So they can continue to educate us! And so we can learn about different ways in getting involved. (Edit)

Anyone who's against helping someone get on their feet is disgusting

I love everyone who's helping out. Cry and love each other. There are people in this world who love them too.

This woman is a genius. God Bless her. Gives a woman back her dignity and motivation to love herself and move forward.

Damn the people who are protesting are so disgusting... like you are seriously threatened by people being given a bed for the night?

Imagine being so selfish and not wanting a shelter in your area... what if it was you?

That is the absolute truth, I was homeless in San Francisco for a year and nothing helped me cope to getting out of it than me not looking homeless and keeping myself up, I was always met with a shocked look when it was found out that I was homeless, beauty can heal

This is amazing journalism and thank you for covering it @Refinery29

All that young girl needs is a KZfaq channel lol Her makeup was flawless!

When her and her boyfriend kissed at the start and said they love each other I was overcome with emotion and started crying.. this is so sad.

6:00 love that these guys help keep the volunteers and ladies safe. Tough guys, but they seem to be good people for sure

Such an informational and interesting documentary. Thank-you for spreading the word and educating more people including me about the situations other people have to face.

“Every homeless woman I’ve ever met, has been raped.” We need to open our eyes and get our priorities straight

So this is what privileged people do? Waste their time protesting against giving people their right for a home. How low can you get?

God Bless Shirley and all those who are looking out for others instead of themselves. I love how they use beauty, makeup and hair as small as it may seem for us but you are blessing others beyond measure. The people at the community meeting speak out of ignorance and need to have compassionate for others and stop being selfish and alway having the me and my family mentality. Praying for the safety of the many people on the streets. God Bless from Australia 💕👋

I love seeing others helping others feel good even if it's the simplest things .💖

“how that feel queen?” my heart, MELTED.🥺

this video hit hard. lord forgive me if I'm ungrateful, and help these people find their way.

The fact that this all happened BEFORE quarantine terrifies me...

Shirley is amazing. She still helping people all the time. I watch her live videos. She's fabulous. God bless her.

I’m not gonna lie but this girl does better makeup than a lot of girls that have expensive makeup and ikea vanities 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Imagine being against a SHELTER smh. People are so insensitive and heartless.

So inspiring and Beautiful. It’s lively to know that there are people in the world who wanna help people. I felt very emotional watching this. And inspired to do something similar in my own community.

Wow this is incredibly amazing. This is so kind hearted and it just brings me ao joyful. She deserves a. Reward! Bringing a beauty salon in the street sis incredibly AWESOME!

Thé black women with the green hair she is amazing and she’s doing good job

It’s insane there are so many influencers and KZfaqrs who live In LA and have such big audiences and can influence so many....but yet I’ve never heard one talk about this problem.

Shirley, you are amazing! lots of love sent from me!

People like Shirley are very impactful in a wonderful way! God sent even!

I can’t imagine ANY of my family members being homeless and me not offering them to stay with me.

awwww dem bikers looking all tough and gruff w the tatts and beards but got such soft hearts

I appreciate what you have done to show the good people who are doing something to help others. Yes, LA is full of homeless people and this is caused by ... everything you can think of from drugs, greediness in raising rent, criminality, lack of financial education for some of those people, and many more... something needs to be done right away on this.

Shirley is amazing. The world needs more people like her. And the bikers too.

If I was a beauty influencer I would donate all my PR packages to these women

“Motorcycle Gangs are dangerous and scary” This kind gang:

Shes sooo pretty shes got talent!!!!!!! Dang documentaries like this are important and hope we can do more for those less fortunate

I love this. Thank you 🖤

Every time I go it I always give the homeless women -tampons -lip balm -food -and baby wipes

Imagine how hard it is when their periods come

I remember watching this in 2019 then I traveled to California from the Jamaica and was hoping to meet Arian. I hope she is doing ok especially with the pandemic in effect. Homelessness in the USA is horrible.

Excellent reporting.

I’ve volunteered in homeless shelters and anyone can end up homeless - I have helped former policemen, nurses and lawyers. How people can be against shelters is crazy, one day it could happen to them and where will be the first place they turn to? The shelters that offer help to those that need it most!

When she said " this can be any one of us" I felt that

Wow, these people helping are truly angels. My heart breaks for these women and men.

She is so awesome helping others with beauty.

That girl’s makeup is like more flawless than mine

#Netflix please do a documentary to raise awareness, PLEASE

God Bless you all! SHIRLEY you’re pure love in your vessel Queen!This world doesn’t deserve your heart. I pray this life gives you your flowers beautiful💐
