How Do I Raise My Kids in Extreme Poverty? (Poor Family Documentary) | Real Stories – Everything Law and Order Blog

This cinéma vérité documentary is an intimate look inside one family’s struggle with poverty. Kay Rice, her partner Karl and 6 children move from town to town in search of affordable housing. Unable to find steady work, the Rices rely on food banks and charity to make ends meet. “I know we’re poor, but it’s what we are, not who we are,” says Kay, as she embarks on a fresh start by fixing up a rundown rental home. When things turn sour with the landlord, Kay fears his veiled threats may mean losing her children and decides to take him to court. In capturing the stark realism of a life with few options, No Place Called Home puts a face on what it means to be poor in Canada.

  1. Why aren't they both working full-time jobs? Why have so many children you can't feed and clothe? It's not fair to kids to live in poverty and be bullied and hungry.

  2. this strong mom is caught in the cycle of poverty, she has raised brilliant children its tough to watch.I never had the courage to have children .I know documentary maker is not supposed to GET involved BUT 100$ WOULD HAVE GIVEN THOSE KIDS A SMILE THEY SO DESERVE. Come on !

  3. I understand being poor, although I never lived in poverty. If you live in extreme poverty you cannot afford cigarettes or dogs. Food for the kids come first. Always. Cigarettes are 15 bucks a pack in Canada.

  4. After hearing the amount for rent and shes smoking in walk appears like a small coffee shop which hasnt been allowed in any business since the late 90s and the price of smokes on her income is impossible. So this is really old and the kids are adults.

  5. Bless that family- the children are obviously very loved and well cared for- also very intelligent and polite. Whilst I would never dream of having 6 children and there are lifestyle choices which only contribute to their poverty, they are such a loving family. I hope and pray they had a good life.

  6. I just don’t understand how you can bring these children in the world to live like this. I would have loved to have more than 2 children but I knew I could not afford them. Both of these people smoke which is expensive. Very sad. I wish they would do an update in 2024.

  7. 12min 54 seconds in and this tv show seems to be a sham. what Landlord would allow this to happen without a contract?! I do not care if later on in the video that this is proven the video shown up to this time. is bullshit! I hate this kind of production for dollars on a poor person / Landlord honest dime! Shove off maggots!

  8. My heart breaks for those poor children. They have the weight of the world on their shoulders. So many stressful adult problems for young minds. Very sad.

  9. Let everyone in, so the country they come into becomes as poor and violent as the one that they left. Great job to let everyone in and the people who born there are homeless. What a crime.

  10. While heartbreaking for 6 children being brought into this disaster (why keep having kids you can't feed or house?), it REALLY ticks me off that BOTH parents are chronic smokers, and at $11.30/pack average in Canada, that's a $600/month nasty habit they need to QUIT! The kids can't go to the fair because of this selfish habit.
