I have PTSD from the experience. But, it is what it is and I feel I had to go through it as there's so many misconceptions about the homeless epidemic, and a great number of the people involved.

There's over 800 registered school children who are homeless in my country of 269,000. That's just the ones old enough to go to school. And the ones the parents aren't hiding from sheer fear.

That's sick.

And when someone becomes homeless they do not speak of it due to the stigma, and if they are fortunate to get out they just want to forget it. They don't have a voice. I'm a much practiced public speaker. I am a voice.

I have published three episodes of The Strays with Steemits very own publishing house- are you familiar with Steemshelves?
