Yayasan Galuh, 2013.
Gabriela Bhaskar
Mental health in Indonesia is severely underfunded and has lead to facilities like the Yayasan Galuh being the only refuge from life on the streets or for families caring for their loved ones. In 2013, the Yayasan Galuh received funding from the local social services department but it was not even sufficient for basic food for the more than 200 people living in captivity.

Gabriela Bhaskar
Xochitl Flores falls asleep on her brother Etsio's shoulder on the bus on their way to school in Staten Island. The Flores' commute to Staten Island daily for school from Manhattan after they were relocated there upon entering the shelter system. Instead of repeatedly transferring schools as they moved from shelter to shelter, their mother decided that continuing at the same school regardless of where they were living. This has meant that their commute to school is two hours or more each way.
