Over 235,000 Canadians experience homelessness each year. But what does life actually look like for a 19-year-old living on the streets?

I sat down with Ash, a young woman battling fentanyl addiction in St. Catharines, Ontario, to ask one simple question: what's it really like?

The answers revealed a world most people never see. Where survival means choosing between food and drugs, and hope feels impossible.

πŸŽ₯ In this documentary, you'll hear:
β€’ How Ash became homeless at 19
β€’ What fentanyl addiction actually feels like
β€’ The reality of "tranq dope" (xylazine-laced fentanyl)
β€’ Why getting clean feels impossible on the streets
β€’ What she wishes people understood

πŸ“ CANADA'S ADDICTION CRISIS FACTS:
β€’ Over 235,000 Canadians experience homelessness annually
β€’ 47,000+ opioid-related deaths since 2016
β€’ Xylazine ("tranq dope") now in 90%+ of street fentanyl
β€’ Average age of first opioid use: 24 years old
β€’ Shelter capacity crisis across Ontario

This isn't just a St. Catharines problem. It's happening in cities across Canada. If you've ever wondered what life is really like for young people trapped in addiction and homelessness, this video will open your eyes.
