If elderly people have to end up like this, we have failed as society :(

I am so sorry that you lost your home because you did something so wonderful for your father. I hope you find a new home real soon. No good deed should go unrewarded.

We have to rebuild strong independent communities

I've been looking for a HUD apt for years now. Got tired of looking so bought a very used van. Getting some stuff together to live in it if I have to. Elderly and disabled.

Unhoused individuals are now legally considered "undesirables" just like in WW2.

History repeats itself.

I hope y'all are ready.

Some body needs to get a GoFundMe going for Cathy and her daughter, and dog!!!

Bless you. What a tough road day by day. You surely loved your dad. I'm hoping the love in material form shows up for you soon 🌸🌸🙏🙏

I think it's really saddening to look at van life and other YouTubers who say they live in vehicles and glamorized the lifestyle for the purpose of making money.

So sad...this should not be happening...not ok....she was helping her dad... she gave up everything...

Spend 1% of the deficit on public housing and you solved the problem.

Why did you have to give your home up to take care of your dad??? Did you have him in your car? No one on this earth should be homeless. Especially in one of the richest countries in the world. Then when you’re a senior citizen, it’s a 😢. Things are so wrong!!!! I’m sorry. 😢😢

💗Love this Lady, but I Suppose it’s true **No Good Deed Goes Unpunished**. She performed a Highly Commendable Act of Kindness for her Dear Loved One, and Now it seems she’s Doomed to Suffer as a result of that Kindness. I pray **God Forbid** 🙏🏽 and that one Fine day we are Blessed to see the Fulfillment of Jehovah God’s Promise that Each One will SIT UNDER HIS OWN VINE, UNDER HIS OWN FIG TREE and NO ONE shall make them afraid. Ameen.

They should have granted her an extension on her voucher. Section 8 and or hud is a hot mess

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Trust in Lord He will help you ! We all should pray for her!❤️✝️🙏

[OutdoorswThatGuy]

That day is coming for me as well, once dad goes .. Fn sad 😔

[elizabethtyler]

In the ruchest country on earth why, why, why, why? Why doesn't the stupid useless government do something?

[angelacahill]

Sadly, this is becoming all too common. Horrible.

[miroslawswigon]

At age 67, she can get social security plus start taking out from 401k. With her retirement, and her daughter's income, they should be able to find a place.
