Short Description of the video:

The video was published by the group Invisible Group, which publishes videos to reach those on social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from across the United States.

In this video, the interviewer asked Michelle (the interviewee) if she would like some wipes. She responded, "I'll take as many as you can give." Then he asked her how she ended up homeless in Venice Beach. They sat down on the sidewalk together, and she started to share her story.

"I never asked to be homeless here in Venice. It just happened to me", Michelle starts her story. A friend talked her into moving to California after a bad divorce. Michelle had her own business grooming pets and boarding dogs. She lived on a farm with her ex-husband. Michelle continues "I got to where I thought I was better than anybody myself. Now, look at me."

Michelle is determined to get herself off the streets and out of homelessness. Although she has health issues, she is a strong woman. She is doing everything in her power to better her life, but the truth is there are not enough resources for all the people who need our help.
