The problem of homelessness, a complex issue, cannot be believed at first until it hits close to home, in our personal lives.

Recently, I saw a nightmare-like scenario: my friend, once full of hopes and promise, sleeping in the parks and on the streets. His plight tells its own story of how tough life is for so many among our society.

The Homeless Situation in Reality
My friend slowly lost his way to homelessness. His job loss, mental health issues, and unexpected events all decided to put together a series of unfortunate events that eventually led to him having no permanent place to live.

True, it is easy enough to assume that someone is homeless, but the reality is that anyone can end himself in this circumstance with no fault of his own.
