If she made it this far the work does speak for itself. But part of me thinks this story will be used as propaganda for both classist and anticlassist. The ones that believe we do have a problem and this girl shouldn't be homeless (I'm in this camp). And the others that believe everything is fine, the system works, and everyone can rise out of poverty if they try hard enough.
