A Hospice Where the Homeless Can Die With Dignity 

This "death doula" works to support the homeless at the end of their lives. WATCH NEXT: What It's Like to Be Evicted in the Middle of a Pandemic - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kOAb9UhpMVo.html

Some people don't have family or have had disabilities from birth. I can't believe the small minds that make comments like they should've planned, where is the family. Really!!!! This is reality for some a large number sadly . Thank her for having a heart and not judging...happy new year world....

God Bless this Woman. What she is doing is Absolutely remarkable.

Somebody needs to fund her project so these can spring up across the country. This is completely necessary.

This woman is an angel. Beautiful soul she is

Thi needs to be a longer documentary

I was in hospital for a while. I had a man next to me dying. He told me some stories. He also told me he hated the food they bring round. He said he had been been there 6 months and haven’t tried anything from the hospital cafeteria he wanted a menu and hot food. We worked out that a 7 15 our ward was left. I got him in a chair a down to the cafeteria. We had a breakfast together. That was the best I saw him in in 2 months. Later that day I went for a scan. He wasn’t there on my return. But I know I helped him. He was so happy. Still makes me cry typing this. Love you frank. I can’t believe you didn’t chip in for breakfast. Don’t worry I’ll get ya later

What a wonderful, kind, compassionate and lovely human being she is. She is a credit to humanity.

The world needs more people like her. Much love and Blessings....

There needs to be more awareness about this. Everyone deserves love before they pass. What a good person she is.

A place to live in dignity sounds good too. Just a thought.

Shes one in a billion beautiful.

Death with dignity should be a human right

A homeless man near me just died of the cold. Bless everyone who helps them.

Wow, I had no idea that some people were not able to die in the hospital because of their past and especially a mental health background. It's definitely a big misconception then; Just like you said, we sometimes assume people who are sick and dying, it would be in the hospital. This video opened my eyes and expanded my awareness to this. Thank you.

Life is a nightmare until death.

This should be mandated throughout the country. Just as healthcare should be a human right, this should be also. Why is it that people with the power and influence to make change don't care to do so and people who want to make positive changes are the people who dont have the resources to do something about it?

Death is inevitable for all of us I m glad tho that those who aren’t fortunate enough can do so peacefully

America should worry about their own homeless and crumbling middleclass instead of sending millions/billions to other Countries..

I'm so lucky to be living in Australia where our most vulnerable are taken care of by the government.

Thank you for allowing people to die with peace and love in the last moments, when they have no where to go

Genuine humanity. The few keep this world afloat bottomless darkness.

God bless everybody. Glad to see the community support and care for the elderly.

God bless this woman.

Praise God for this facility and the doulas providing care to the sick and dying homeless. We need more facilities like this! Thank you to the caring hearts who are providing love to the needy in their most difficult time.

God Bless you! I didn't learn until I had to move in with my dad, who had dementia. He served in Vietnam. He was deployed when I was born. His death was to blame from agent orange. But in the end, all he had was me in his beat up mobile home in a rented bed from hospice. And you're right, it is a spiritual experience. I saw his eyes turn from bright blue to gray opaque while I was holding his hand. Can't find another word to describe that.

Literally amazing & eye opening. What a beautiful message. ❤️

I need an afterlife motel but I'm not terminally ill I just suck at life

What an angel of a woman. Bless her.

Along with having a home in the first place, the homeless of course definitely deserve to die with dignity. Sex offenders do not.

In the UK, this is also a real grey area, so seeing this is as perplexing as it is rewarding. Clearly a very much needed service most anywhere in the world. Many thanks.

Watching different types of videos on vice makes me feel like I'm going through a time machine and watching different people's lives and its both nice and sad in a strange way i can't explain.

The saddest part is that the society allow people to live without a home, even renting you can call it ''your own''

*Sex offenders don't deserve to die with dignity* 😡😡😡😡

She's a human Spirits Fairer like the Nintendo game. No matter how hard it is She'll always treat everyone with hospitality and respect until it's their time and it's sad but she always know she did her best to try and make their final moments comfortable and she got to know them so now they're memories with with her too.

Thank you for helping a vulnerable population!

sex offenders should never die with dignity

Heartbreaking to know many people have a small time left and have no one, at least if that's the case they don't feel alone dying in peace and not being alone should be for everyone, regardless what they have or haven't many rich people get the best care and aid but a lot of people suffer to the very end bless those people helping others 🕊️

Very touching, so sad to watch but you're making it better. Great work!

God Bless this lady’s soul as she is sooo special, with true compassion.. 🙏❤️🙏 She is one of Gods Angels

Where can I donate to this place?

Each state most likely handles it differently but I think she's an awesome and beautiful human for doing this work. Some who do have families may not be able to afford to help. Would be great if Vice expanded this story to include how hospice needs are addressed in different part of the country. Maybe an hour long upload.

Maybe without the orange man finally you guys will have universal health care, but don't hold your breath

How does the patient get there if they're homeless, especially out of her area!? Hospice is normally schedule II pain meds just got when the person's actually on their death bed.

What an amazing woman

Kindness cost nothing and can bring you everything. No one deserves to die alone, too many people have already suffered too much. It fills my heart with such genuine hope to know that at least these people get to leave this world with the feeling of love. When my grandmother died my dad was with her, as she was dying my dad told her how much he loved her, and the last thing he said to her was “thank you for being my mom, I love you” I can’t describe how much the thought of someone dying alone makes my heart ache. Genuinely this women is a person who truly understands the value of life.

My roommates say our house is haunted, I don’t think so. I have been here almost 300 years and haven’t noticed anything weird....

This is beautiful 🥺 God bless her!

I have been homeless before. Pregnant and escaping DV. I know how it feels to be scared, alone, sad and in pain. I always wondered if there was something like this out there, and while photographing my aunt die of cancer (her request) with family by her side. wondered how many people don’t have anyone by their side. And wondered if they needed someone to help them with their journey to heaven or even tell their story.

Greetings from Tucson,Az. I am a nursing assistant and hospice care is one of my favorite fields. It takes a certain someone to work hospice. I look at it like an honor and a privilege to care for my patients at the time of there life transition. It's like a labor and delivery nurse and doctor bringing in life, and I'm there to help at the end of life.

serious *HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED I FEEL THE NEED TO HELP !!*

USA needs a better care system. There is such a dearth of state service when it comes to the homeless, and ex-con reintegration.

Don't just comment, donate and help. Be the good you want to see.

Absolutely beautiful no one should die alone that doesn’t want to die alone

she is doing good work. Thank you.

Capitalism isn't working for society as it should. Perhaps it needs tweaking but there shouldn't be any homless people. People should be able to live with dignity their whole lives. The system needs reworking.

Dieing alone is so terrifying I don't want my last moment alive being scared if I can avoid it

you are a wonderful person

God bless this woman and program!! 🙏🙏 My brother is there in SLC.... In the streets!! He wants to stay... We can't help him!

Show where their organs go after they die! Scavengers sell them to the highest bidder.

This is good way to help many who wanted this

Yes

As a latín american, I dont understand were is the family of all this people, my family dies in my house with their family and we take care of our elders until they die, so sad how this societies moves towards...and how elders are leave alone...

Doula in Greek means slave woman, Doulos means a slave man .

What a hero.

This is so nice to help these people

Wow this women is a gem. She is Someone we could all learn all lesson from

That’s awesome! It’s sad to hear at the same time

i wanna see Vice News interview the Out Law biker dude at 2:03

You're an amazing person, thank you for all you do

This is an amazing service. Blessings to death doulas~

what a wonderful human being 💘

This woman is a Saint

This is amazing work. Thank you for what you do. I would donate if I could.

A true saint providing a sense of community and safety for people transitioning on. Thank you.

I'm homeless I'm going way out to die so no one can find me. Nobody cares when I was alive.as you can tell .

Much needed. I was surprised when she said sex offenders. I'm sorry, I just don't have sympathy for child molesters. Their victims will suffer long after they are gone. I know what it feels like.

In the land of the free and the bold nobody cares that's sad.

Admirable☆☆☆

This kinda makes me want to become a caretaker or someone who socializes with old people, before the end of their life. I just don't know how to start this work

This is what a hero looks like.

If I was at the end of my life I hope to be around an angel like her

Compassion like this is what I use to define beauty

This is beautiful

It’s called the entire city of Portland...

Homelessness should be a crime against humanity and same with starvation no food

I love her

I pray to God to put me on a path to be able change the lives of the people around me like this woman has done. She truly is a blessing.

This is amazing I wish more states had this type of housing.
