Why I’m quoting instead of simply reposting when I don’t have the words for this, I don’t know yet. Maybe it’s to add one pitiful droplet of honor, a moment more of presence, where nothing was given and everything was taken away.

This fucking country, this fucking world.

A mother in Detroit, desperate for help, reached out *three times* to the city’s homeless response team—to no avail—before her two children froze to death in a van. There was shelter space available nearby.

The system failed them, as it fails so many.
