Amanda Richer turned on the video camera of her cracked, old Samsung and started sharing. 

It was September, and Richer, streaming on Facebook Live, talked about living on the outer reaches of The Jungle, Seattle's infamous homeless camp, since last February; about her struggles with thoughts of suicide, brought on by repeated brain injuries; and about living in a tent under an onramp, where the water was too cold to wash her hair.
