Written with clarity, respect, and hard-earned insight, this manual strips away illusions and gives you the real-world knowledge most people never learn until it's too late. It's not theory. It's not politics. It's not romanticized. It's the truth about what it takes to endure the streets and rise again with your dignity intact.
Whether you're preparing yourself, helping others, or trying to understand the invisible world millions of people silently live in, this book is the roadmap everyone deserves but few ever receive.
Stay safe. Stay aware. Stay alive. And when you're ready-start rebuilding.
