## Resource

A 53-year-old woman named Rachel is enduring brutal winter conditions on Alinga Street in Canberra, surviving below-freezing temps with trash for warmth and plastic bags for feet, begging for even a cup of hot water. She’s also faced violence, with passersby ignoring her plight while some volunteers step in. This isn’t just about the cold—it’s about the invisible struggles behind homelessness. Solutions must go beyond police or noise deterrents and focus on dignity, compassion, and coordinated support. We must stop seeing people on the streets as problems to be moved, and start seeing them as fellow human beings worth saving.
