Amber just recorded and posted this video to all the people leaving hurtful comments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykYgSwJ9SrI
A little while later Amber posted a 2nd video thanking the people who encouraged her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niH3TsmrYlc

Walking down Hollywood Blvd, I stopped to talk to a new homeless friend I had met a week before. While we were talking, I noticed a young woman on the sidewalk doing what looked like school work. Sure enough, Amber had a physics textbook out and was doing her homework right there on the streets while flying a sign.

Amber is homeless and putting herself through Los Angeles City College on just GR (general relief) income, which is $220 a month in California. Amber says one of the biggest challenges is finding an abandoned building at night to sleep in so she can get up early to make her morning classes.

I can't imagine the courage and strength it must take to go to school and be around other young adults while not having a place to sleep or shower. Amber wants to go into the forensic science field, but I have a feeling this strong young woman can do anything she puts her mind to. I just hope and pray the streets don't distract her from her dreams.

About Invisible People:

Since its launch in November 2008, Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vlog (video blog) gets up close and personal with veterans, mothers, children, layoff victims and others who have been forced onto the streets by a variety of circumstances. Each week, they’re on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as YouTube, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.

Invisible People goes beyond the rhetoric, statistics, political debates, and limitations of social services to examine poverty in America via a medium that audiences of all ages can understand, and can’t ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nation’s most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath – its founder – and brings into focus the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions face each day. One story at a time, videos posted on InvisiblePeople.tv shatter the stereotypes of America’s homeless, force shifts in perception and deliver a call to action that is being answered by national brands, nonprofit organizations and everyday citizens now committed to opening their eyes and their hearts to those too often forgotten.

Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.
