Tonight I saw a homeless girl. She was wearing a hoodie and nothing else, nothing covering her feet, legs, or genitals. It was dark and some distance away so I can’t be sure but she appeared to be a teenager. Her movements were very childlike. She was scavenging through a pile of rotted fruit outside a produce warehouse. She ran off when a man approached her. My heart physically aches.😥

    Can’t believe there will still be people who will look at her and say, “Don’t worry, if she can work hard enough, she’ll get out of her situation!”

      Or just “what a shame,” that her situation is a tragedy but I mean, hey, that’s just how the world works. She shouldn’t have done XYZ or she wouldn’t be here. There was nothing to be done, and if anything COULD have been done it rested solely in her hands.
