A woman visiting St. Louis for the first time had her purse stolen at Grant’s Farm. She’s here with her 8-year-old child who is dealing with serious health issues and has had multiple medical treatments. Today was supposed to be a special day for them, but their tickets (and other important items) were in the stolen purse.

She posted a TikTok asking for help, so I figured I’d share it here in case someone local might recognize the person or saw anything. She has surveillance footage in the video.

If you have any info, please comment or reach out to her directly — even small details could help.

Does anyone else remember @court0o0? She used to post about living in a shelter and getting clean, and it was one of the most inspiring journeys to follow. Over time she saved up and got her own apartment, and it really felt like things were turning around. I hadn’t checked in on her in a while, but I just saw her recent videos and it’s just a sad situation all around. She’s had a baby since then and now she’s being evicted.

It also feels like an inside look at the kind of generational poverty we always hear about but don’t really see this closely. I want to be happy that she has her baby and is building a family, and at the same time it really highlights how hard it is to find stability and keep it without consistent support.

It’s so easy for me to watch and want to Monday morning quarterback her life. There are so many choices where my first instinct is to be judgmental because they might not seem like the healthiest or “right” ones, but real life is a lot messier than that. She’s always kept such a bright attitude through everything, and I really hope she’s able to get the support and stability she needs moving forward.
