Toronto Shelter Helps Man Recover From 40 Weeks Living on the Street

Marco* came to Toronto from Montreal, seeking steady employment in the construction industry. But soon after, he was robbed and started a forty-week sojourn on Toronto’s sidewalks.
“Everything went downhill. I wandered the streets, which are much different by day than by night. There are many alleys, so you just learn how to disappear,” he said of that frightening time. He couldn’t find work and felt judged by his appearance.
“I sat on the sidewalk and asked for help, but people would walk by without even looking. I was invisible. Sometimes I spent 18 to 20 hours not talking to a soul. The first month, I couldn’t believe I was there. It was complete desperation.”
