DO NOT be AMAZED by THEIR WEALTH - Sheikh Abdur Razzaq al Badr حفظه الله

Cheech relocated to Austin to try and jumpstart his career as a chef. Because he was homeless with mental and physical disabilities, he wasn't able to maintain employment. Cheech has homeless in Austin, Texas now for four years.

I honestly could sit and listen to Cheech all day long. He is brilliant and very knowledgeable about homelessness and the social services system. Because of his disability, Cheech is getting Social Security; however, that is not enough to pay for rent. When I asked him about qualifying for housing, he responded that a lot of people are getting housing, but there are still a lot of people that have been homeless for years not getting housed.

During my stay in Austin, I met one man who was outside for 34 years and several others homeless for 20 years and 10 years. In many cities, homeless services are doing better than they ever have but because of the affordable housing crisis, more people are entering into homelessness than they are able to get out of homelessness.

Cheech shared something that is so profound that it blew me away. He went on to forecast how a rich man, a cop, and a minimum wage worker would be treated by other homeless people when they ended up on the streets. Cheech's prophesy I believe is spot on. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.

Cheech is very knowledgable on homelessness in Austin. He shares about attending city council meetings and the growing criminalization of homelessness.

Your voice can help end homelessness. If we do not fix the affordable housing crisis, homelessness will continue to get worse.

About Invisible People

There is a direct correlation between what the general public perceives about homelessness and how it affects policy change. Most people blame homelessness on the person experiencing it instead of the increasing shortage of affordable housing, lack of employment, a living wage or the countless reasons that put a person at risk. This lack of understanding creates a dangerous cycle of misperception that leads to the inability to effectively address the root causes of homelessness.

We imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home. Each day, we work to fight homelessness by giving it a face while educating individuals about the systemic issues that contribute to its existence. Through storytelling, education, news, and activism, we are changing the narrative on homelessness.

This isn't just talk. Each year, our groundbreaking educational content reaches more than a billion people across the globe. Our real and unfiltered stories of homelessness shatter stereotypes, demand attention and deliver a call-to-action that is being answered by governments, major brands, nonprofit organizations, and everyday citizens just like you.

However, there is more work to be done on the road ahead. Homelessness is undoubtedly one of our biggest societal issues today and will only continue to grow if we don't take action now.

Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to educating the public about homelessness through innovative storytelling, news, and advocacy. Since our launch in 2008, Invisible People has become a pioneer and trusted resource for inspiring action and raising awareness in support of advocacy, policy change and thoughtful dialogue around poverty in North America and the United Kingdom.

Kevin is a homeless youth living in a Chicago youth shelter. Kevin's mother kicked him out when he was 15 years-old, and he spent the next few years couch surfing. At 17, Kevin went and moved in with his dad, where he says they both put a lot of their feelings in a bottle. When that relationship exploded, Kevin found himself back out in the streets.

Kevin shares a candid story of sleeping outside and the realities of being a homeless youth.

When I asked Kevin what his future was like, he responded that he had been in so many places the last 3 years - that he didn't know, but at 18 Kevin is a young man with a world of experience. You only have to listen to him for a short time to know he's on a good path now, and if he stays the course, Kevin will do just fine.

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.

Lyrics:

Hey that, one thing, that we thought we’d left behind,
Well, It’s bubbling to the surface, never left my mind
So why don’t we, stitch it up then piece by piece?
I don’t ever wanna forget what it meant it to me

Round and around we go, even if both our paths are separate,
When we come to an end,
Maybe we could start over again
Round and around we go, if we pretend we never meant it,
How could I blame you then?
Why not pick back up from where we left it?

Tu ru ru ru, Tu ru ru ru, Tu ru ru (x4)

Hey, remember that night, where we met for the first time?
Did I ever tell you I already wished you were mine?
But with that said, did you even like me then?
If you think about it, it was just that once, that we met

Stifling feelings
Alone but still dreaming,
Together we’d praise that love
Cuz we both want one happy ending,
With promises saying,
“Well come on and shout it out!

It’s love”

Round and around we go, even if both our paths are separate,
When we come to an end,
Maybe we could start over again
Round and around we go, if we pretend we never meant it,
How could I blame you then?
Why not pick back up from where we left it?

Tu ru ru ru, Tu ru ru ru, Tu ru ru (x8)

Round and around we go, even if both our paths are separate,
When we come to an end,
Maybe we could start over again
Round and around we go, if we pretend we never meant it,
How could I blame you then?
Why not pick back up from where we left it?

As the years go by, we’ll go with times,
Always relying our love to survive,
Though we’re not together, this song that we left,
Keep it from fading, tell me it’s love then (x2)

He grew up in Texas. Bible-belt. Cowboy boots. Church every Sunday.

But behind the image was a young man searching for something deeper.

In this episode of Muslim Now, meet Muslim Cowboy — a former Christian who read the Bible cover to cover, stood up for what was right, and made a promise to seek God with sincerity… even if it meant standing alone.

He never met a Muslim.
He only heard about Islam on 9/11.

But that day changed everything.

This is the story of how truth found its way to rural America — and into the heart of a man who chose conviction over comfort.

In the heart of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, a chance encounter with a wounded bull elk leads wildlife filmmaker Jake Davis on an unexpected journey. Suspecting the elk had narrowly escaped a wolf attack, Jake returns the next day to find ravens circling overhead. He sets up an array of high-end remote cinema cameras—the same gear he uses for BBC and National Geographic productions—and leaves them rolling for over a month.
What follows is a rare and intimate look at wolves and their role in this complex ecosystem. The camera traps capture weeks of activity at the elk carcass, from golden eagles and red foxes to coyotes, ravens, magpies, and finally, the return of the wolves themselves.
Blending cinematic wildlife footage with a behind-the-scenes, personal narrative, the film documents not only rare predator and scavenger behavior, but also the broader ecological impact of wolves—keystone species whose presence sustains balance and biodiversity across the landscape.

All filming was conducted under a Special Use Permit with the Bridger-Teton National Forest.

UPDATED update video: UPDATE VIDEO: Hanes Takes Formerly Homeless Woman Shopping for Her New Apartment. https://youtu.be/ICdi6W7TUhw

UPDATE: New vlog Manda shows us her camp and why it feels good to give https://youtu.be/mQ2RBLLy54w

A few months back I logged onto Facebook and was greeted by a smiling homeless woman's selfie in front of a tent holding up a cup of coffee. It was captioned "good morning." Today, I met Manda at her homeless encampment where she made me a cup of coffee!

Most of the time I meet homeless people in person on the streets or in a homeless shelter. Then we often connect online and become friends. Manda and I became friends online first. I got to know her a little before seeing how she survives homelessness. I am having a hard time processing it all. Lots of emotions both good and bad right now!

Manda is an amazing woman. She is disabled from severe brain trauma, yet because she is high functioning, she falls through the gaps in the safety net. I have been working with her trying to help find a path out of homelessness, but the walls bureaucracy are impossible to break through.

For all the people that believe homeless people are lazy, I wish they could just spend an hour in Manda's shoes! She works hard to keep her tent camp clean. She works hard getting to treatment and therapy. She works hard every single day trying to survive. And she works extremely hard to stay positive while facing the madness of homelessness each and every day!

We must get Manda out from under that bridge into housing. Because of her health and being a woman out on the streets, she is extremely vulnerable living outside. If you are connected to social services in Seattle or know anyone that is, please reach out to them and forward Manda's story. I have talked to her social worker. Her health issues are severe, and we need to get this woman inside!

Manda vlogs on her Facebook page you can find here https://www.facebook.com/mandycampmom/

I almost didn't see laura sitting there in Times Square. Even with the coronavirus, New York City has many people around, although not as much as before the pandemic. I almost missed her in the crowd. Laura didn't look homeless, but most homeless people don't look like they live on the streets.

Laura has been homeless in New York City, sleeping near Times Square for two years. She was in a domestic violence relationship where she received four head injuries. Laura says she experienced brain damage and lost the ability to think clearly and concentrate on making decisions. The abuse got so bad that one day she just walked out and left, leaving all of her belongings at the time.

As a rule, we will never feature a domestic violence story unless they are safe from being abused. When I asked Laura if she is safe, she responded: "I'm outside, so I am not really safe," referring to the dangers of homelessness for women, but she is safe from her abuser.

Because of COVID-19, many bathrooms are closed. The nearest public bathroom for Laura to use is Penn Station, which is almost a mile away. Imagine having to walk a mile each way to use a washroom. It's extremely challenging for Laura to travel that distance by foot with all of her stuff, so Laura has to wait until a homeless friend she trusts will watch her cart and her dog. In this interview, Laura said Penn Station is four blocks away. I just looked on a map, and it's ten New York City blocks from where she was sitting - each way!

Laura shares how she feels New York City is not making it a priority to help homeless people during the pandemic. I've been told there are 130,000 vacant hotel rooms that are not being used. There must be case management and support services to place homeless people into hotels, so it's not as easy as it may sound, but it can be done and should be done. Sadly, in NYC, NIMBY (not in my back yard) residents in. the Upper West Side continue to protest homeless people being placed into hotels.

Near the end of this video, Laura starts to coughing, saying she is sick. We were socially distancing, and I always wear a mask, but me wearing a mask only protects her. I now hear in her voice that she is sick, but I didn't at the time. If I did, I might not have interviewed her. When she started to cough, I asked Laura if she has been COVID tested. She responded no, and our exchange after opened my eyes to the challenges of properly testing homeless people for coronavirus.

COVID testing sites are hospitals, medical clinics, and sometimes drive-thru facilities. As Laura shared, she would have to leave all of her belongings to go get tested. Going to a hospital is a longer trip than walking to a bathroom and back, and Laura may lose her stuff, and she is not going to leave her dog. Service providers are doing the best they can to respond to testing challenges homeless people face, but resources are still lacking.

Laura's story is an important story. I hope you watch all the way to the end. She says far too many powerful statements that I have room to list here. The one that got to me was when I started, she looks clean, she responded, "I am not clean."

If her story moves you to take action, there are tens of thousands of homeless women out on the streets, and we must end homelessness for everyone.

Your voice can help end homelessness. If we do not fix the affordable housing crisis, homelessness will continue to get worse. Click here https://invisiblepeople.tv/getinvolved to tweet, email, call, or Facebook your federal and state legislators to tell them ending homelessness and creating more affordable housing is a priority to you.

Agriculture technology trends in early 2026 focus on AI integration, precision tools, and sustainability amid climate challenges and population growth. These innovations aim to optimize yields, cut waste, and enable data-driven decisions.

AI and Predictive Analytics
AI-powered systems predict yields, pests, and maintenance using real-time data from sensors and satellites. Platforms like Cropin and Climate FieldView deliver dashboards for actionable insights, with over 60% of large farms adopting by year-end.

IoT Sensors and Connectivity
Smart sensors monitor soil moisture, nutrients, and climate continuously, feeding into apps for precise irrigation and fertilization. Improved connectivity makes these tools foundational for operational efficiency.

Drones and Robotics
Drones enable aerial crop health mapping and stress detection, while specialized robots handle weeding, harvesting, and scouting in orchards or fields. Integration with AI and variable-rate systems boosts precision.

Precision Farming Expansion
GPS-guided tractors, autonomous machinery, and variable-rate applications dominate, with the market projected to grow at 13% CAGR through 2030. Sensors for soil and crop monitoring drive real-time optimization.

Sustainability Focus
Carbon farming practices like biochar and traceability tools for farm-to-fork transparency gain traction, reducing emissions and ensuring quality. Biotechnology like CRISPR complements precision breeding for resilient crops.

Delilah is young and homeless. She says that previously she worked in a Beverly Hills hair salon and that homelessness is much better than cutting hair for angry, mean rich ladies!

Delilah says she is enjoying her freedom while she is young enough and healthy enough to have it. She wants to live a minimalistic and nomadic lifestyle.

Delilah relocated to Los Angeles three years ago and has been on the streets for six months. She had various living arrangments. Delilah's last roommate throughout all her stuff and now she is just trying to make the best of it.

Delilah's boyfriend has been homeless for many years and she started to live with him on the streets. She was already spending weekends with him in his tent, so homelessness did not come as much of a shock.

Delilah plans on traveling and then if she wants to change her lifestyle she says she will.

One of the foundations of Invisible People's work is to present stories of people experiencing homelessness raw and unedited. Delilah's story is a little different than most because from the outside it looks like she is choosing to be homeless.

The last few years I have seen more people deciding to live a minimalistic and nomadic lifestyle. Van dwelling is now a thing and becoming more popular. I think part of the reason is the high cost of housing and the lack of good paying jobs.

I used to think no one wants to be homeless, and that is the truth for the vast majority of people sleeping outside. Even the ones who tell you that want to be homeless, at one time they tried to get out of homelessness, but after hitting so many barriers, they just give up. It’s called “learned helplessness.”

I think Delilah's story is important because so often homeless youth choose this lifestyle and then it's nearly impossible to get out of it. The streets in any city are very dangerous, especially for young women. Although Delilah says she wants to be homeless there is a sadness about her. I do believe she is making the best of it and that love probably played the biggest role in her current situation. I just pray she gets off the streets while she still can.

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.
