It wears you down. Nobody prepared me for living in such harsh conditions" - "what really wears homeless people out is time. Always waiting, always being on the go…" - "hard to talk about, but when I did start to talk to others I felt no different from them and I wasn’t embarrassed" - "being paid regularly, but my debts still mounting up anyway" - "being undocumented, so for you I don’t exist" - "days without bread are the longest days"
