A woman named Jolene lost her husband, then her job, then her home. She found a construction dumpster behind a dead building site in St. Louis — eight feet wide, twenty-two feet long — and spent ten months turning it into the most functional living space on the block. A bed on the left, a stove on the right, room to walk between. This is the story of how she made it work. #homelessness #stlouis #survival #housingcrisis #homeless #shelter #poverty #realstory #offgrid #urbansurvival #dumpsterliving #makeshifthome #resilience #missouri #DIYshelter #wintersurvival #streetlife #outreach #widow

Great story, but sad that a woman her age had to live in such a condition. Homelessness in our modern society is a real tragedy. Thank God some people are resourceful in such conditions. God bless and protect all who are homeless in this world.
She is not the first person who became homeless because of high medical bills of a deceased realative.
God bless all the people, every Person who has to suffer homelessnes. It is one of the forms of modern slavery or maybe worse ❤❤❤
I feel this guy telling the story is AI. His jerky movements and it just doesn’t look real. To me it distracts me.
ANYBODY. RICH, MIDDLE CLASS OR POOR. WE CAN LOSE EVERYTHING IN LIFE BUT NEVER EVER LET GO OF GOD. HE IS THE ONE AND ONLY KNOWS WHAT WE NEED. READ THE BOOK OF JOB IN THE BIBLE. GOD BLESS ALL.
Wonderful story of survival but sadly most communities will not allow someone living in an old dumpster in plain sight.
Jolly-good story, very well presented. Love your narrator. Cheers!
It’s sad the way the world is now. It’s very scary. I wouldn’t want to be starting out now in this day and age. I definitely wouldn’t have children. So sad.
I don’t think it’s necessary to take so long to tell this story, I get fed up with the time it takes to tell this story.yes, I’m sure it is AI .
Watching from Rosiclare, IL. on the Ohio River love these videos/stories better than watching reruns & stupid shows on tv (such as ballgames, the walking dead, etc.) watching at 3:22 PM
How can you push out water with cardboard. As a divorced woman I know a pensioner never loses their pension in a divorce
Seriously U2 need to do something about these AI slop videos
lots of thick wool blankets/sleeping bags and mattresses/Navaho rugs. Pioneers did that successfully. Never throw away wool, I have one outside, to air out, it's a thick rag but still useful.
Where can you keep one rent free ?Where did she keep it.
Fake. Nowhere does a whole dumpster in any city that size go unnoticed & empty. Narrator is AI.
Story about survival. ❤❤❤❤
don't forget the heaters to make out of a special heater made of large pottery/and that cooking oil in a can CRISCO with a wick, like a big candle. better than propane.
AI. First her husband died of a heart attack, then he had cancer.
vans are too cold, many die therein; need thick wood truck cabin/camper, woodstove. burn junk mail.
The last thing she should have done was go to stay with her sister.
