I feel like she should be admitted to the psych ward for help and possibly set up with support from there but perhaps her heroin addiction is an obstacle? This is so sad, she seems so broken 😞

In the dtes there are actually a lot of services being offered but there are a few issues: 1) the dtes population is growing at a rate that services cannot keep up with. If medical services across Canada for the general population are strained, then obviously that area is going to feel the same effect. 2) Some people are helpless. They'll take the pity, but they don't want the help. They'd rather shoot up drugs than admit they need help. They'd rather choose to live on the street than go into shelters. They don't like shelters because of the rules. Some rules include not doing drugs and alcohol. We get guilted into always blaming the government, but forget that a lot of these people are choosing to not accept the help.

OMG this poor beautiful soul. I have nothing but empathy for her. Wow. Her story was especially difficult to hear. Thank you so much, Ginger. I truly believe you deserve so much more than youve ever been given. It truly makes me wonder how so many systems failed you. You are such a precious being. I wish I could just drive down there and rescue you. It feels like no-one is taking care of you. I'm intensely angry and disappointed in our political systems now. WOW. Thank you, Elle for such personal, important investigative journalism. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

That’s not correct. There are many, many organizations downtown who reach out to the homeless….many of these organizations like The Good Shepherd ministry has volunteers who come from all over the lower mainland to walk the streets carrying much needed items to hand out, listen to anyone who would like to talk to someone, etc, etc. . And everyone down there is so grateful! More people should give some of their time to do the same. Believe me, you receive far more than you give.

When some children are born their family and community are not loving and caring. When a childs mind is bent by abuse, neglect and fear it takes a long time to change their thinking and self-worth. After a history of active drug addiction I am clean for 43 years. To this day I continue to learn to love myself and others. Not everyone just snaps out of their abusive past and takes on a new lifestyle. 😢😮❤

I don’t think we are “ throwing people away “. You can’t help people that don’t want to be helped. However I think the current liberal government’s drug policies are enabling and encouraging drug abuse and addiction. Just look and how she describes her drug addiction as taking “ meds” when really she is a heroin junkie. The government taught her to think that way. We need to stop normalizing and supporting drug abuse.
