I'm the kind of person who, when it comes to helping, often takes off my shirt to assist others. I went through a period in my life that I never thought I'd experience, but due to the irresponsibility of my former employer, I ended up homeless. This affected me immensely psychologically, considering I didn't commit any wrongdoing or act irresponsibly to live through that experience, which is indescribable. I never gave up on my focus or my dreams, and after a year living on the streets without anyone's help—and on the contrary, people didn't help, but made things even harder—I overcame it and resumed my normal life as I always had. During that time I was homeless, I encountered many cases and situations that, in my opinion, some people who experience this, if they don't have a helping hand to overcome the problem, end up wasting their lives and losing their zest for life. Since I am not rich and now have an understanding of the reality and countless different cases of homeless people, I decided to try my best with the experience I have lived. I am grateful for everyone's help in being able to help people trapped in this situation. I am human, and the experience of being homeless is inexplicable, and nothing can erase that moment.
