I suffered from hunger, thirst, colds, I had (unmet) needs, I got showered in the rain and I got ill more often. Sometimes I felt a little embarrassed, humiliated."Paulo Albuquerque: "It wasn't a bad life, honestly. I worked, I had my house, I paid rent. It wasn't bad. But everything is fine when you work, when you don't have work anymore, things start to go wrong""I did not (have a house) here. When I arrived, I came directly to look for shelters"Father Simone: "Nowadays, we have also displaced people, people who have already been in various parts of the country, who are looking for work, maybe they left home in search of something for their families but then they did not succeed and did not come back home. I mean, we have many different situations""In the family, in the faculty, in the working world, there is a lot of indifference. This hurts and not everyone is strong because many do not know how to react and take refuge in extreme situations"Ricardo Garcia: "The street is cruel. It gives you and takes away form you, but sometimes it offers you a way out. You love and fight in the street. Those who love us are hated. The street belongs to the strong, the street belongs to death.""Look, it was also because I did not have the means. I have already traveled a lot, so I am much more used to sleeping outdoors. I decided to stay here, I stayed and I ended up settling here. At first, I had no shelter, then I got one and now I'm a little better"
