Ruth
enrolled.
"My top concern is housing because if I don't have a place to sleep it's next to impossible to live. Shelter is a basic need to every human being and as to me it's not only basic but also very embarrassing to lack a house nor locked out due to rent. I have encountered this for some time back and now I have a family, I wouldn't want that to happen again."
