David Luvinga has been sleeping on Toronto’s streets for days without access to basic necessities like a shower, clean clothes, or a proper place to rest.
Luvinga, a homeless asylum seeker, came to Canada from Uganda several weeks ago seeking safety and a better life, but his meagre resources were quickly exhausted.
He found himself homeless, joining hundreds of refugees and newcomers who arrive in the country without a place to live.
