After viewing her clips, some people have taken to the comments and accused Aaliyah of ‘faking’ being homeless.
In response to this, she showed her car’s set-up and wrote: “I’m running off two hours of sleep literally, I wish it was a f***ing lie.”
Fortunately, the young woman has also received a ton of support after sharing her story.
“Lil lady you are absolutely stunning,” one person commented. “I have been homeless four times in my life. Things will get better. You should consider pursuing modelling.”
Another added: “Some of us are just one paycheck away from being homeless! Stay humble! God bless you.”
A third said: “So you gotta look the part to be homeless? This just shows people judge people and stereotype them based on what they wear and how their hair looks.”

Others took to the comments and informed her about Home Depot’s Homer Fund.`
This scheme apparently helps provide people with ‘financial assistance’ during ‘unexpected hardships’.
After receiving so many kind messages, Aaliyah has taken to TikTok and said she’s ‘beyond grateful’ for everyone’s help.
She said: “I wanna thank the Homer Fund and everybody who suggested it, with everybody’s support they reached out to me and gave me emergency funding to get a hotel for some time. Hopefully, I’ll get permanent housing.”
