The budget cuts hurt me to my heart

Graphic by Bruna Costa

I’m unhoused. I have no family in Washington. I’m living on Social Security, and I can’t work because of my severe injuries. And here comes Trump, saying he wants to clean the homeless off the streets. Where does he think they’re going to go? Some are in jail. Many already are in the shelters he’s telling them to go to. Now, with these budget cuts, some may think about suicide.

All we can do is pray to God and thank him for everything.
