This is the pits and the final End.

some people only know how to be homeless as they have done it for far too long they cant get jobs to support them self and most wont rent to a person that has been homeless the best thing we can do is pray for them that the life will turn around

It's hard to help people. Sometimes it takes several people helping before a person actually manages to turn their life around. And maybe she was just visiting the cats, which would have been a kind thing for her to do. You did your best, but you can't save everyone, sadly.

I already know you can't talk with her and like everyone here has said, you did your best and that's all you can do. Since she came down to feed the cats and then left, she might be going back to where she came from, and she might be perfectly fine right now. You don't know so I wouldn't worry about it anymore. There's nothing else you can do. In order to get a job, you need an address of where you live. She might even have a part-time job that you don't know of. Since she's changing her clothes daily, I would guess she is staying somewhere, but comes back to feed the cats that kept her company while she was alone. She must be getting money from something.

Despite of her situation still she concern about the cats if she feed on it. She's so young, a homeless person is hard for us but we don't know why they suffer about it. Supposed to be she is working at her age. Too young to roam around the streets without family to take care or to take care her. We can say alot of people like her in our streets. Feeding their kids with very dirty faces and seems no food to eat.

As they say some like to roll in the mud and that is their life. The only sad thing here is you spent your emotions on the wrong one. Spare it for the needy Hately!

what a good kind of you, now is hard to find people that wanna help others that have no home, congrate to you mam.

There was probably not enough room in the shelters, so she is back out on the streets. I heard things are quite bad down there. I do not know if she can find a job, but she could be gathering cans. But I do think a lot of people just want well paying jobs. Trouble is that some jobs require a permanent address. And if she is homeless, she does not have one. Or she could be one of those eccentrics who prefer living on the streets.

You have done all that you can,and try your very best to help.It's seems has she choose to be on the street,an she have family near by.But I hope and pray that,a family member will see her an come to her rescue. Reading your previous comments,if every time you see her she is in a different clothing. Maybe Family member are someone who she stayed with live near by,hope that she will be ok.

You have done all you can and the fact that you tried is wonderful. If she's refused help there's nothing one can do. Hopefully she was just back to visit the kitties!

Hopefully she was just back to feel the alley cats. You did what you could to help her. You can only do so much. She is young and may not be in a place to really take help yet. SOmetimes people have to reach a very low place before they will take the help given or offered. You should feel good about yourself that you did what you did and hope for the best. Hard to do, I know.

Without you talking to her, it is all mere speculation as to what the situation actually is... as well as her age. There are various things that keep people on the streets--including mental illness. Perhaps, she is back out on the street. Then again, she may have simply been visiting her feline friends.

What is so sad is some people choose to live that way. I really don't understand why someone would choose to be homeless versus living in a home, but they do. I know I could never ever do that, nor would I want to. There isn't much you can do if she doesn't want the help. You did your part, and you will be rewarded for that someday. It is up to here now, how she chooses to live. There are just way to many people out there that are homeless and shouldn't be, but not a lot anyone can do that is for sure. Take care, Hatley, and have a good day.

Honestly that is sad to be that young and homeless. Who know what her story really is. I feel for all the homeless. But I cannot do much to help them. And always keep this in mind, one wrong thing that could happen in our life, we could be where they are. I understand that you are upset after helping. But maybe she is mentally screwed up and thats why she does not have a job or a place to stay.

I'm just wondering ... Is she having to hide from someone?

In the land of the fast food Jane lies starving all the best, urban

Oh that is sad, I wonder if she is one of many who just couldn't get a job? Then again, it seems some jobs are starting to open up here, but at this point,I would have to quit classes to get a full time job, I might be able to for a part time, but then I'd have to take my whole paycheck to pay someone to cook and clean, so I wonder if that is even worth it? Anyways, back to the girl, I hope she find a job, but if she is homeless, she will need help as in getting cleaned up for an interview.

Maybe she was just feeding the cats... You should not be so worried about her. We have various accommodations for homeless people in my country, and in winter nobody should be outdoor ; there is even a free phone number that people can call to report that somebody sleeps outdoor, and the social assistance sends a car to pick them and give them a roof and a bed ; it looks weird but some of them just don't want. A few years ago a couple was sleeping in a public garden in front of the place where I was working. I talked to them to tell them that the city could offer them a lodging, and the women responded to me : "They already have provided an apartment to us, but my husband cannot sleep if he does not see the sky and the stars above his head." You have done all you could do for this woman, Ms Hatley, stop to be worried now.

Mommy You have done a nice great and good job, god will reward you for this.I too help many without keeping and thing in return. Regards.

You were really soft-hearted and did a good deed.Now that She has gone to place for her,why did she come back and linger in the back alley?

You did your best and it's none of your fault if she didn't like your place.
