I've never experienced homelessness, and I’m in a great place in my life. I have amazing family and friends, and a wonderful education. But of course it’s not always like this for everybody. There are millions of people in this world who do go through homelessness, and are placed in a shelter or live on the streets. It’s important for this country to take action and move a step forward in the process of giving everyone a place they can come home to. Because we all know that the government has promised they will take action on homelessness, but we need to now. Especially during COVID, and with the new strain, think of how hard it must be to be out there, living in the streets or in a shelter with no home. How would you feel if you were going through that? I guess what I’m trying to say is, I’m Hadley Wrixon, and I have someplace to come home to. I’m writing to raise awareness for people who don't.
