Neil McEvoy hasn't added a story.
My own experiences of being homeless in Toronto led me to conclude that it's separate world that few people really truly understand..
And the biggest challenge we face in society is the incorrect and often very aggressive stereotypes that are formed against the vulnerable for this reason.
Therefore one of the key activities we can undertake is education, through real-world stories told by those experiencing the situation.
The goal of The Torontoe is to provide a magazine format that proactively sets out to tell the stories, first and second hand, of those currently in the situation so that we can break these stereotypes and encourage more positive engagement with the homeless community.
