    Where are her children? I would never allow my mother to go homeless.
  • @hellobot67
    To all the ppl saying kids will care for you when you are old. THIS IS NOT THE CASE!!!
  • @maxinewest4096
    Such an sad situation, about people being homeless, and lots of it due to greed of overpriced rent.
  • Why arent there federal laws saying landlords cant charge more than 5% per year
  • People don’t care. Honestly, the owner and lawyer’s elderly family member didn’t end up in this situation. Hopefully, they won’t end up in this situation when they get old.

    Remember when the GOP promised that cuts to entitlement programs would never result in this kind of thing?

    I am in Colorado Springs. I get SS but it’s not enough. I have to work. I was told by several complexes that I make too much money for affordable rentals. I cannot afford to pay $1500 a month. A lot of rentals here in Colorado Springs a charging junk fees on top of rent. A one bedroom can cost over $1900 a month.
  • What is criminal is expecting to live on someone else's property for FREE. She owes $18,000 in rent! A landlord is not your welfare office.
  • The American Dream is becoming the American Nightmare.😱 ❤❤I am living the American Dream❤❤ Being poor in my early life, my mother's advice was buy your house. I purchased my first house, a one-bedroom old house $2,400 cash.(Loaned by family). Worked all my life and am enjoying my Golden Years. ❤❤USA❤❤

    Oh well, I'm 70 and I paid cash for my home 20 years ago. You need to plan for your old age so you won't be a sad story for the M$M news propaganda. Seniors who are smart weren't hit hard at all.

    Soon President Trump will be back in office, and we’ll be able to afford groceries, gas up, pay rent, and still have a little something in the bank again. Yippee!
