The article details the struggles of a domestic violence victim who, despite providing ample documentation and reaching out to various agencies for help, finds herself homeless due to bureaucratic obstacles. She highlights the overwhelming nature of the system, expressing frustration over how her needs are prioritized over her humanity, leading to feelings of helplessness and fear. The survivor's experience underlines the urgent need for reform in support services to ensure timely and adequate assistance to those in crisis.
I'm a victim of domestic violence who's now homeless because the systems that are supposed to help are buried in bureaucracy. I'm left trying to survive without food, safety, or stability.
I've provided mountains of documentation to law enforcement, real, painful proof, but because multiple agencies responded, nothing is happening.
Help is promised but doesn't come fast enough. I'm expected to hold it all together? How am I supposed to act?
I'm not a case number. I'm not someone else's paperwork. I'm a human being who needs real help now.
