I’m new to your channel, so I’m watching this yrs later. This is really good to know. When I use to live in NYC I never got the feeling that homeless folks treated their pets badly. I always felt like they gave their pets more and gave themselves less. I did donate to a few homeless folks because of their pets. I’ve donated sometimes just because I was able to that day, but a lot of times it was when they had their pets with them. But it’s good to be aware of this and I’m glad Lynda got Buddy back. I hope they were able to find housing by now. 😪 Best
This woman and her stolen puppies break my heart, what a beautiful soul, I had to stop and pray for her. I gave a homeless vet 20$ a couple weeks ago, and he smiled and said whoopie, and I told him it was a gift from God. Most people give change or a buck or two, and that's not enough. I am disabled and on a tight budget, but HaShem gives us what we have, and we are to share it when we can, and He will take care of us, because I have always managed make it each month. God bless everyone, and please help when you can.
This is probably someone’s mom you guys. Can you picture your own old mother living outside like this or a family friend who is like a mom to you? Heart breaking. 😭 We have fix this problem.
I am 58, physically disabled, use an electric wheelchair, a mother, and a grandmother and was homeless and on the streets for close to 2 years! My 2 sons, that are both in their mid 30s, didn't even care. I was living with my youngest son. They both locked me out and left me shivering in the cold in the front yard in my wheelchair. It's a VERY sad situation for this kind of thing to keep happening to WAY too many folks! I lost my 3 Turtles due to the selfishness and carelessness of my 2 sons! 😢 I had made my 11 year old Grandson my Assistant on the permit for my 2 Box Turtles and this was a huge loss to him and my granddaughter too. I have a home now, but my 2 sons still mistreat me! My oldest son is homeless, I offered him shelter, he hurt me physically, ate up my food, and drained me financially because he's on drugs! I NEVER thought I would end up homeless when I was 56 years old. I have NO vices, but I do have to take medications for 2 autoimmune diseases and some other diseases. This situation with the homeless needs to STOP!!! My sons saw me out there a number of times and drove right on by. 😢
@@marywilliams7055 That's so sad-! Jesus LOVES you, and your two sons so much-!! I pray that things get better ( and they will ) ... just put ALL of your Trust in God-!!! xx
@@marywilliams7055 its not their fault they dont love you for whatever you do/did. You should step up, and act the way you want them to treat you. If my mother was on streets, i would be with her or helping her, because i truly love my mother. If they dont have reason to love you then sorry, its as cruel as it sounds.
@@dmitrijsmironovs7513 Sounds to me they didn't get their butts busted when they should have growing up. Parents messed up by giving all they had to pay for those $100 tennis shoes back in the day. Now their reward is selfishness and No Respect ! Sounds like they still need a butt whippin
She is beautiful. Gorgeous mind. Gracious soul. Sense of humor despite the horror. She’s a queen. I wish I could build a palace for her. There are so many rich folk in SF. Can’t a few of you get together and give her the peace and safety and haven she deserves?
At the end when she was more in front of the camera, I could tell she was very pretty also in her younger days. I didn’t understand why her husband is “inside? Either way, please house these people! You get paid bureaucrats ONLY when you do your job (my magic wand!!)
Seeing caring people supporting homeless people is a grounding experience that gives hope and sometimes new understanding on what really matters in the passage of time. Great story on the forgotten/invisible people that can bring/give more to life than most college degrees on what the word success really means. I showed this channel to a friend at work that lost his mother early in childhood and raised by his grandmother to show he’s not alone in his struggle with life .
Homelessness is one of the few things that we can actually end , but yet the power's that be choose to ignore!! Like you say Mark, that's no way to live.
Yes, it's our responsibility to take care of our elderly, mentally ill and destitute. Unfortunately, we don't have enough services to do this. Helping those on the streets should be a priority. It's so dangerous out there!
God bless her, and God bless you for being kind enough to show the “invisible” people to the “ visible” people. I am a registered nurse. Since viewing videos on your channel, I am pledging my life to helping
What a sweet, caring woman. I wish she could get a into a tiny house community I’ve seen so she can have a furry best friend again❤️And tell her I think she has beautiful hair!
I have been homeless 3 times in this life...the hardest part is always being on the go...never able to just relax for a bit...ones guard must be maintained at all times..socks are so very important..i used to dream of a new pair of socks..so for those that don't know..giving a pair of socks is everything...every time I had a full time job as well....i worked my way back into housing... I finally was stable...but at the age of 22 in was hurt on the job and became disabled...perscribed fentanyl for my pain...but after two years was tried of feeling stupid so I stopped the meds cold turkey..luckily no withdrawal....docs were shocked but to me if one takes it for the proper use them it really is fine....my ignorance...as my docs later told me I was part of the 5% of the world's population that can't get addicted to opiates...the university of Washington decided to take my DNA to study and try and find a cure for opiate addiction... Well I did force myself to work till my body shut down due to my disabilities...and forced with very few options.... Was approved for SSDI to make the story short....bit due to my age and only getting half the average in benefits as well the average person...i was looking at a return to the streets... But I found out I can still collect my benefits anywhere in the world except for 13 countries...so I did some research..and moved I currently find myself able to maintain an upper middle class lifestyle..supporting a family of three for around 800 dollars a month...in my city one can rent a two bed single bath for 100 a month...i see my doc for 10 dollars an office visit once a month and my meds are 60-70 a month...a live in maid is 100 a month plus their basic hygiene needs and food...my house in a gated community is 211 a month at a 15yr mortgage...my sons private school is 600 a year plus books and uniform...a meal at a fast food type is about 2 dollars... I have lived here now for a solid 5yrs and the comfort of never having to worry for bills is amazing...i know I may be asked and before I get beat up in the comments please just understand that my choices may not be the best.course for everyone or you...but for me it was...and just trying to express the knowledge to others who may find themselves look at the future I saw for myself before I moved... I know it may or will be asked...so I will say..i am in the Philippines...and although I picked this country it may not be best.for you..so if you find yourself considering this option..use your time and research what may fit your needs best...if anyone has any questions my email is motto966@yahoo.com...i have considered doing a blog of my experiences but am on the reserved side personality wise and not very tech savvy...please keep any comments on the positive side and thank you for taking a moment to read a portion of myself...i hope all find their niche in this life that leads to having the security, the community and well being we all deserve..
@@lolybird77 ty..that is much appreciated...hope your day finds you well and find yourself surrounded within a supporting environment without worry for the moment..day..nor week...we all have our struggles but within those we do have triumphs..i hope we all celebrate those triumphs and move past the struggles...best of luck..
I sort adopted a homeless man, he was in great need of medical help think all I was able to do was purchase some colostomy filter bags for him. I lost him I haven't been able to locate him and it was 3 businesses nearby and myself who looked after him. I have position as property manager so I'm unable to house anyone or I'll lose my job but I'm really trying to figure out how to help more. My goal is to move someone in, give them some months to get back Up this is what most need. Shower, clothes, food ,shelter & sleep in order to get back Up.
She is legally married. He is at home(inside). She is on the streets (outside). She must choose to leave home, or either he puts her out . This is a bad problem. I pray that God be with her.
Homeless people are nicer to there pets. The animals get company all the time, they get food before there owners. They are good for protection and company. They are good for people with Mental Health issues. There are so many homeless dogs as well, they should be given to homeless people. Bless Lynda xxxx
Thank you God for people like Angela. My Heart breaks for Linda I pray she gets buddy back 💔 And to the coward who kicked puppet, you are a maggot to kick and kill a 10 lb puppy 🐶, I bet that makes you feel really tough, you piece of shit. Karma will get you. I wish Linda lives closer to me cause I would give her a home with buddy, I have a house that just sits empty because I have had so many people who rented destroy it but I would certainly with out a doubt let Linda live there with her puppy. It just sucks I’m 3000 miles away from her on the east coast. Us women need to stick together. Thoughts and prayers for you and Linda buddy! 🙏🐶 Bless your heart 💜
What a wonderful women!! Oh how the world is making a grave mistake ignoring and abandoning these homeless people. I find, listening to them, they are more honest and genuine. I'd rather hang with them, then the phonies we have to be around everyday. Another measure of a great person, is that they make sacrifices for another life, in this case, her pets!! LOVE YOU LYNDA!!
UPDATE: video of Lynda and Buddy being reunited twitter.com/barron_ang/status/1136776754125725697 I interview Angela at 17:30 where we talk about homeless people taking care of their pets and share more about Lynda. UPDATE: SFPD tweet this photo of Buddy letting us know he has been returned to Lynda twitter.com/SFPDTenderloin/status/1135415988206260227
So America is supposedly the richest country in the world? It’s people and government allow this inhumanity to continue? America is morally and spiritually bankrupt! The day of reckoning is coming. Bless this unfortunate woman.
@@gratefulgal5782 listen educate yourself before you make a stupid assumption. Stop believing what politicians and racists want you to believe. Illegals are not the problem Illegals are not the reason why there are homeless people in this country. This is shameful and a disgrace
Why anyone would take a woman's dog when they know she has so little. When life brings you down there is so little to cheer you up, even for the slightest of moments, a dog can give you love like no other. I hope they can return her dog to her. 😂
@@HayesByeGrey you must be on my time zone! 😊 Just have trouble sleeping & I always thank God for each& every little thing I have! I wish I could just reach out& hug some of these ppl.! I hope we get a update on her getting her dog back! Many blessings your way & have a well good morning! 1:31 am! 😴
It’s a natural human thing do do , is to complain everyone has different problems in different ways ,rich or poor ,at the end of the day the government should be helping the homeless people by making affordable homes , it’s a human right , animals receive better care when homeless!
Aww what a sweet lady , how could someone take the only love she’s got , her little dog , humans can be so cruel 😢, I hope she gets a home and her dog back 🥰
I never realized that homeless people who have pets would have that problem, when they go to the bathroom they can't take the dog in. What a story. There are homeless people who have a hard time taking proper care of their pets but a lot of them take great care. I used to see a man here on Davie Street in Vancouver with 3 dogs always on the same corner & they seemed well taken care of. I don't see them around anymore, hopefully their situation improved. Thanks for sharing, Mark!
When I see people like Lynda, it breaks my heart how homeless people are treated. It's a damn disgrace, because most are good people, who fell upon hard times, and need help. I always said, if I was fortunate to win millions, I would buy properties and help the homeless have a home and get medical for them. Bless this lady and return her dog. So many rich, selfish people are able to help but don't. I'm retired and struggling,. that could be me or you. The government needs a big wake up call. Charity starts at home! 🙏🙏🙏
I wish i would of been walking by as it was happening, id give that punk a taste of his own medicine. Lets just say the puppy would be okay in the end..that fool wouldn't! Animal abuse makes me utterly sick
appreciate what you have guys and give to the foodbanks ( Im in UK )every time you shop put something in there. Make sure you put food that is ready and easily to eat. Give your clothes, shoes, hats coats and gloves. What you dont need give it. Live simply guys and help people who are in need. God Bless this beautiful lady and pray she gets her Buddy back.
I'm from London, UK and was in San Fran a couple of years ago for work and I visited a park there, the name of I can not remember, but I was amazed by how many homeless people I saw there. I was a sad site and hope at least some of them have since found permanent shelter and are out of the misery. It's not surprising so many were on drugs as it's probably the only thing that helps them forget their situation for a few hours. We have our own homeless crisis over here, made only worse after lockdown and the upcoming rise in the cost of living with energy prices soon to soar by over 50% will cause even more to if not lose their homes, but having to decide whether to heat them or buy food, but not both. I really feel sorry for those who will have to make that decision, esp the old or those with young kids on benefits and already struggling.
May God bless her !! She's crying out for help ... I hope that she's found Every resource available And a new pup to love .. Blessings, prayers and love .
I am so glad to find You and the very important work that you are doing. I have had similar experiences as Linda and this video was a true spiritual healing for me today. I will find a way to help others as you are.Blessing and prayers for all involved in making this video, especially Linda and her dogs.
WHAT BLOODY SICK...HEARTLESS PERSON WOULD STOOP SO MORALLY LOW AS TO STEAL A HOMELESS PERSONS DOG!!...SHAME ON THAT PERSON...DEEP SHAME!!!!! HOPE KARMA VISITS YOU WHO EVER YOU ARE VERY SOON!!..PURE WICKEDNESS!!!!!!
That's what I also think, weirdest thing is, it happens very much actually, very sick indeed. Some Humans are in general a sick breed from nature, this world is so depressive 😔 Iam sorry for this woman.
This is a lovely lady...so sorry for her puppy. It's hard to understand her as she doesn't have her teeth or dentures in. Thank God her puppy at least allowed that poor woman to get away from that man. God bless this lady.
You are doing a very good Job. It would be wonderful if the extremely Rich joined with you to help the Invisible people. Going to the Moon was phenomenal, but bringing these guys out of a black hole into the light will be more amazing. Thumbs up !
Mark good job with your videos, you really show you care about these homeless people and I can see that you don't judge anybody and really listen well to their troubles. Again, keep it up!!!
I agree a dog can be better than any medication. The unconditional love they provide can lift you from any situation you face. Please whoever has taken Lynda’s dog buddy, plz return it back to her. This lady needs her dog. Lynda seems like a really lovely lady with a crackup personality. It’ll be cool to meet her one day when I next visit SF. Stand strong Lynda. ❤️💜🇳🇿🐶
According to SFPD Tenderloin on twitter The investigation is over and buddy is "safe and in good hands" I don't know if that means he was returned to Lynda, but I hope so.
She needs her puppy and all the things most take for granted every day. God bless her and may she get her Buddy back. I pray God softens the hearts of whoever took Buddy and they di the right thing and send him back to Linda. #RETURNBUDDY
I couldn't watch this 🎥. It's too disturbing regarding the cruelty of humans towards others, as well as the lengths people go to be evil regarding animals. This lady needs the animal connection. We need to love and be loved. For some of us, an animal doesn't judge-gives us unconditional love and companionship (emotional support). Too many homeless people, as this channel conveys. It just seems totally unfair. Of course I watched, Mark. It's amazing how you keep on trekking, never giving up the cause that you are so passionate about!!!
What you say at the end is true. People should care more about people than animals. Dogs do help people in pain and can be tremendous therapy. However, that doesn't mean everyone is entitled to have a dog and a dog's life and needs are nothing! Dogs are living beings, not objects. She endangered her own dogs by not keeping them on a leash and relying on others to pay for the dog's emergency healthcare. Is would be cruel to keep a dog on a leash 24/7, but to properly care for her dog as a homeless person, that's what she needs to do. People need to watch the surveillance video of what happened. She had zero control over that dog and no ability to protect his life from that angry psychotic man. Her little dog did what dogs do, nipped, barked, and tried to protect the people around him. Sadly, a little dog doesn't know not to take on a violent human 4x his size. A dog will die to protect those he sees as his own. The only way to stop something like that is to keep it on a leash in public. Her dogs may "save" her emotional well-being, but when the time came, she couldn't save any of them (this is her 3rd dog according to the video). It's ok with everyone that these dogs keep getting hurt because they are helping her to be happier and use less? Sorry, but i do not agree. She may love her dogs, but she should not have any until she has a home or a tent outside of town with less people walking around.
I just do not know what to think, this breaks my heart. How much longer will these sweet ppl. Have to suffer. Hopefully this next generation of kids will change this barbaric treatment of humanity.
So sorry. Yes, humans are the real monsters. Homeless humans, that all they should need to qualify for assistance. I hate this cruel world we live in on these people's behalf. Stealing from the homeless, lower than a cockroach. The one that loves them unconditionally. Brought tears.
Hello! I am really impressed with what you are doing for homeless awareness. Invisible People showed up in my feed as a suggestion, because I watch these videos and have a deep human interest in homelessness. I have been homeless. Recently, I went through another situation where I could have been homeless if my family did not step in and help me. I am a college student (late in life). I have studied homelessness and written college thesis papers on what actually works. What our government is doing does not work (shelters which are a good temporary solution only). We have a huge shortage of affordable housing. We need more supportive housing, compassion, and assistance for people living on the streets. There are tremendous myths and assumptions about homeless people. Once I am out of college and financially stable, my dream is to become part of the solution and a voice for all homeless people. I live in WA state.
San Francisco it's not a poor part of America it's quite wealthy this lady is clearly older and needs help why are the people of San Francisco leaving her on the streets and the local people in the neighbourhood.. don't the Americans know how to look after their older people in their country that have no money and no way to live.. America wants the world to look up to them?????
It’s easy to get on RU-vid and leave a few sad words and “God blesses,” but that does nothing. This society has become increasingly more cold-blooded the last ten years, but there are still those of us with compassion. Instead of wishing you could help, just help. If you pull up to a stoplight and see a homeless person asking for money, lend a few bucks. That’s a great start. It may be the difference between that person eating or not that night.
This is the saddest thing I've ever heard in my life. Please God help this lady and may karma and the powers of the universe make it that that POS that killed her dog suffers the most horrible fate.
God bless Lynda she seems like such a sweet loving lady I hope she gets buddy back this is her baby and you can tell how much she loves him 🙏🏼😢I pray she gets housing where she can have her pet with her
I believe those who make people cry had better be prepared for some awful to happen to them. This is called KARMA. They cannot avoid the vengeance that has to be r returned. No one escapes it. You might not see it happening but it will take place. This I can assure you. You might not want it to happen, but it is out of your hands no matter how much you pray for that person to be forgiven Annie Low Malaysia. Just know that your dog is in a better place where he will never experience pain and cruelty again. When your time comes to join him, he will reet you with so much joy and happiness. I know because I have experienced meeting my pets, loved ones who have gone on before me. You will dream of your dog and you will see how well he is. Pray for him, your loved ones are always around, not to scare you but to help you God bless you, I send you and all the Homeless my love and prayers. I wish I could help more. I would if I could. Sigh..
@Big Rhonda you can get a cheap one or a gift or hand me down. A lot of homeless people use a cell phone with no phone service to access the internet on free wifi, this is how i communicated with my homeless boyfriend for years.
Give buddy back! Free Buddy!! I know Linda from Santa Cruz, she needs to get off the street, she looks so tired it made me cry! Hi Linda, come back home to SC YOU CAN GET A PLACE! Or sleep in there tent city on River Street, they even have a Union for the Homeless, to advocate for you, and I will help you as well! Come home!
Buddy has a microchip and has bin found . The neighbors can vouch for her ability to care for the pet ? Why/ isn't he being forcefully removed by authorities and returned to the rightful owner ? Its very hard to care for another when you can't care for yourself but its clearly what keeps her going and should be her choice .
DEAR GOD THIS POOR LADY HAS BOUGHT ME TO TEARS WHAT SHE'S BEEN THROUGH & WHAT SHES STILL GOING THROUGH. I WANT TO KNOW WHERE & HOW SHE IS NOW 2YRS ON. AN UPDATE WOULD BEE GOOD
Did Lynda get her Buddy back? I know you get update requests all the time and it's hard to reconnect with some of the people you talk with, but I would love to know what happened to this sweet lady and her dog.
People are always saying , there is help out there, for homeless people and drug users, people with mental health problems. BUT there isn't ! Or if there is you wait months, even years. Do you know how long it takes to die of dehydration ? Starvation? The cold ? The heat ? The lady does need a lot of help. God bless her. This lip service, " there is help out there ", drives me mad here in Iceland, lip service. I now have to panhandle here in Iceland, in Reykjavik sitting with my Homeless sign.
@@amac6483 My fault for assuming. Sounds like you need to make adjustments to your application process. I've never sent more than 5 apps out (for a base level job) without at least getting an interview or a follow up.
