"being undocumented, so for you I don’t exist" - "what really wears homeless people out is time. Always waiting, always being on the go…" - "being old and living alone. I am sick. I am afraid of loneliness … I cry a lot but try to look calm and collected when I go out." - "waking up in bad housing conditions which saps the will to do anything" - "being paid regularly, but my debts still mounting up anyway" - "days without bread are the longest days" - "every agency wanting the same papers. And more photocopies every time" - "stealing our future by keeping us out of touch with the knowledge-based society" - "constant pressure. It wears you down. Nobody prepared me for living in such harsh conditions" - "working full-time, but … not earning enough to make a decent living" - "my children inheriting my poverty" - "hard to talk about, but when I did start to talk to others I felt no different from them and I wasn’t embarrassed"
