This is life on $7.50 an hour

So instead of this "victim" bettering her life and furthering her education to try and find gainful employment, just give this loser more money? That's the solution? To quote snoop "if the bitch can't swim, then she's bound to drizound

Watching this video makes me wanna do even better in school 📚

WHAT, did you learn in school ??? Nothing apparently.. This is why you make crap money. Why didn't you study harder ?? Why do you have children when you don't have any money. You only get out, what you put in.

Go do construction there always looking for workers any type of construction the pay is good right now, like you suffer cause you wanna suffer, construction is hard work not gonna lie but it’s worth it cause you’ll hopefully save up more not because you make more you spend more.. no you gotta save and just by the necessary things, and keep doing that for years so that you won’t end up in rock bottom , don’t be scared it takes a lot of self motivation and mental strength to do better and change your life for the better. I highly recommend construction for anyone in this situation yes you’ll be tired , yes your most likely gonna get dirty and it is hard work but you’ll get used to it but you can save up and do something else later on but I say construction is a underrated option

😌😌😌

I decided to check the comments to see what anyone is saying and they're still negative. White people love to make racist comments. Smh.

Why have kids at 22??

So touching. Praying for her 🙏🏻

The only way she will be able to do better is go to college apply for grants, scholarship, government loans and making the Dean's list. Where there's a will there's a way. As patrons we should be boycotting Wal-Mart, McDonald's and others conglomerates who keep Americans struggling.

I would really like to see how she is doing now

Get a cdl it pays

She doesn't have enough but gives her son a smartphone????? It's about getting your priorities straight.

The solution is to get the skills needed to make more money...The world is hard on stupid people...

Wow that's actually quite a lot compared to the Czech Republic

As someone with Asian immigrant parents I can tell u that u can still live well on minimum wage. Just buy cheaper food, and don’t splash ur cash on random expensive items that u don’t need like those Jordan’s that kid was wearing. My parents constantly always search for new jobs that give them better pay or more suitable time table

She just looks tried. I feel so bad ugh

I wish I had a beautiful treasure like her precious son she fine I would take care of her I a truck driver single no kids she amazing at least she trying

Our creator didn't intend for us to live this way, to be enslaved, held down and reduced to poverty, we are the aboriginals, this is our LAND! She don't have to live like this! Wake up my people!

When i see her i see my mom back then but my mom got us a apartment went back to school my dad helped but not that much got her effa got a job in a dental office found a husband then he got shot and then got a new house

Should of had a better education

Dear Ms. Cotton,Hopefully President Trump will make it easier to get a job in housekeeping, construction and restaurant work if he builds the wall and lets Americans get those jobs.David

The government ain't your baby daddy

Americans are big..How is she 22???Am 22 i look like her son.

Why do poor people always pop out a bunch of kids they can't afford? I guarantee the baby dady wasn't a good guy with a future, so it's not like the tables turned unexpectedly.

You want to get paid more money, find a real job that requires skills. As long as you bum ass work at Mcdonalds, you bum ass is going to be broke.

My mom has always told me "K just wanna give you the life I never had" while crying and just imagine her telling that to her son when hes a bit older and still getting that amount of money? It's hard to live like that I've been through that with my sister and mom..... like that's just hard..... my mom hasn't got a job yet because she was in university she had me at 20 age 32 now and had my little sister at 25 shes been trying her best and is getting Family Allowance for food but we live with my great grandma shes 74 so theres 4 of usWe help my grandma lots we sweep, vacuum, do the dishes, mop, clean our rooms, do the laundry.. my grandma still helps us but we all have to pitch in...So if you read this thank you.... ❤ I hope whoever reads this has a good life not as bad as her imma pray for her because that's not fair and for whoever is living like that imma pray for all the people like that❤

How blatantly staged is the sadness in this video? The sad piano? Really? She’s making $240/week because she’s working part time hours at an entry level job. It’s tough because she got pregnant with someone who was a poor choice because he is not a present and active father. You make your own worth. You make your own success. Leave the shitty job, find an entry level job that doesn’t cut your hours, register in community college for classes that offer classes with flexible hours, use the college daycare, work small shifts every 2 days. Graduate. Get high paying job. No one said it would be easy. It will be hard. But she chose to have a baby extremely young with a horrible selection of father and she chose to not be graduated from college at 22. 19-22 she could have been in college. Awful.

Ugg!!! "My labor high! Clock out! HATED THAT SHIT!! BITCH! I payed $2.50 in bus fare!You wasted my time.....When they say labor is high, they really want to fire you! They want you to get mad. Fast food restaurants is the worst and the total opposite of what customer service is. The meaner and nastier you are, the More hours you get.

Wtf $7.50 is minimum wage. In Canada its $15

Hi Sophia .thinking about u this morning😘

I was raised in a broken home by a single mother, lived in Louisiana with no A/C sometimes had to go without power and water. There was no public transportation. It was a place in the country with a gas station half of a mile away and an elementary school and that was it. People think that this is all that's available when they're brought up in this kind of life. You start believing There's nothing else, but there is. There's no reason for her to not find another job. Her words for his future should be taken by her. She needs to stop being a victim and step up and do what she needs to do. McDonald's is part time for high school and college kids. No one is going to do anything for you. Depending on government assistance will never get you anywhere and you'll live in that situation for the rest of your life if you think you can't do anything else. You'll always be poor, choosing to pay a bill and go without something else. You staying in that situation will do nothing for your son's future, he'll be in the same situation as you are now. Apples don't fall far from the tree and they adapt. You need to become inspired and act to inspire him or he's going to believe that he's stuck with what he's been given. It will take sacrifice to better yourself, but the fight will be worth it when you can provide him with a better life. Then no one can take that away from you, that will always be your golden moment. Something to look back on and say I did that, blood, sweat, plenty of tears, but here I am.

My parents both started very poor, but they worked hard for many years, so that their kids (my siblings and I) could go to school and not have to worry about the roof over our heads and the food on our plates. I'm so grateful to them and I respect them a lot.Then I see some of my class mates, whose parents are also wealthy, bullying others and spending money like it's nothing. My family may be well-off now, but we weren't always. It took hard work and humility. My parents raised me to be humble to help people whenever I can-- I wish my class mates could know what it's like to not be able to afford luxuries.

makes me so happy to see other minorities struggling. I am a minority myself, but we aren't the retarded breed. :)Blacks are by far the dumbest peeps in the world.

You may keep scrolling but, please pray for the Parkland Shooting families and anyone who was affected,

She is just a baby herself and she has a son :( i hope she gets the help she needs to change her life

You're crying because you work, get food stamps, child care, And public housing assistance?? And your bitching!! GEEZ POOR THING! NOT

So go to school online and take courses to obtain a career. America has all the tools needed to better yourself.

Do anybody know what McDonald's this lady work in so I can gather up some people to help her with some stuff for her kid and her

Unpopular opinion: How can she say she doesn't have enough money for food she's overweight. She bought soda that's not a necessity

Let's hope she makes it easier for her son.

So glad I don't have not got kids to worry about

Just starting out at 21 why you people embrace the struggle. Go to school trade school at lease . Enjoy your young life . Stop doing yourself a disservice by these sorry ass boys . Knowing better is doing better .

Sad ... baby’s happens of course . Young ladies stop having babies until you get your self together go to school . Children can wait stop inviting hard ship . Wish you well .

Looking at this video makes me sad because my dad makes $300-$400 a day

Anyone out there reading this, I just want to say that money will come in time if you don’t give up and work hard. I’m a white 27 year old male that started minimum wage in my teens and slowly (and it was a slow long process of many years) but I moved up to a better paying job that the Lord blessed me with and I got raises each year but before this job it was only very small pay increases like only making $7.50 then 8 then 8.10 to 8.33 then 11 to 11.25 to 11.80 to 12.30 then 12.70 currently at $13.70. But now I just got offered a job making $19.80 an hour. And btw all those amounts all the way up to 13.70 was only between two jobs in nearly 10 years. Pay your tithes and offerings put God First and he will bless you with more money. I’m living proof. And please don’t say I can’t afford it. You can’t afford not to not do it. I’ve been in this since a teenager and the Lord has promoted me and moved me up vs way more qualified and experienced people but he blessed me because I give like how the Bible says too!!

She lucky she not in ny rent here is SKY HIGH! My job also did that dumb shit that where they payed me for 1 hour of work one time. They generate millions in profits per year but they couldnt afford to give me the 4 hour minimum. American bullshit greed! I hate what society has become

I'm so sick of these nasty irresponsible baby daddies who don't contribute financially to their kids. I said I would never be one of those low life men and with God's Grace I've escaped the stereotype. Ladies are getting pregnant by boys who don't know how to be men because they didn't have dads to teach them. I taught my kids and they know..

I make $9k a year ... And I have 4 kids. Habitat won't help us - "We give a hand up not a hand out. Come back when your income is at least $30k" - HUD won't help us - "Sorry no felons" . Even USDA won't help us - "You have to have a credit score of at least 620"- There's always one reason or another. Now because I put a fundraiser on Facebook people all over Rockbridge are yet again bullying me. I hate America. I hate this county. I'm beginning to just hate everyone.

Just go look for another job jesus

College education with higher degrees would fix her problem. Loser father and evidently no help from family. This is what happens when babies keep having babies. No responsible working father. I bet her mother is under 40 with at least one other child under the age of 18.
