Hey Elle, there is so much I have already said about this article and so much I wish I could convey with meager words. Your reading of it added so much to it and brought me to tears. I'll just repeat a few of the things I've said before and add a little more.
I'm so glad you wrote this. This message is so much more powerful coming from someone who has experienced it yourself. You are so lovely, and this might be the most courageous and important article you've ever written.
Disability and homelessness are often so interconnected. One leading to the other. Losing your job and home and developing health problems from living on the streets. Or becoming disabled, then unable to work and not able to afford basic necessities, causing you to live on the street.
So many are one injury, one lay off, one CEO pay-bump from joining the multitudes without a place to call home. How many people know how many essential services require you to have an address? The poverty tax is real.
I don't have all the answers either, but you're not the only one hungry out there, or hungry for change.
Oh dear Elle, I would provide for you anytime but the house isn't tiny and it's not up north, but in Denmark. I'm glad you have your partner and I wish it all turns out right for you!

Harrison, I love your comments. I feel seen. Thank you for recognizing that this is such a huge problem in our society as well.
Sending love Elle! I know it doesn't fill the belly but I hope it fills your heart. Hugs.
definitely does. It truly means a lot!
This is such a powerful read, Elle- the struggle is all too real and I love how you don't hold back in sharing that here!💜
Claire, thank you. Yeah, I feel super exposed with this piece, but I had to write it.
