Through conversations with her, we found out that she's been living a terrible life. She's married with an unemployed man who lives with government aid who misuse her to earn money through prostitution. Her husband never provided for her. They are homeless since they can't afford to pay rent in the inner city. She's often abused by her husband and also her clients, but she couldn't fight for herself since she's so dependent on her husband for companionship and her clients for income.
She's been in the industry for 10-20 years, and leaving it is almost impossible. She faced so much hardship, abuse and rejection that she do not know the meaning of love, being loved and loving people. Through all the kind deeds and acceptance that we all gave to her, she did not respond to our love and God's. Will she be able to understand God's grace one day?
She is now shelterless. She asked for our help. What should we do?
Lord, we admit that we do not have all the solutions for everyone. Help us to make sense of the sufferings of this world, and be a light that shines through the darkest alleys. Amen

Hi weightliter,
Same here in the Philis. Prostitution is a big problem. The problem is we tend to look at them a a problem when in reality they are really victims.
