We are asking for Ellie to have access to the subway, because she needs food and getting around matters to her daily life. Right now, the basic ability to travel can make the difference between managing everyday needs and going without.

When someone cannot reach the places where food is available, the problem becomes bigger than transport. It affects dignity, independence, and the chance to meet basic needs without extra strain. A subway is part of how people move through a city, and it should be available to those who rely on it.

Ellie’s situation is simple: she needs food, and the subway is one of the practical ways she can get where she needs to go. Leaving her out only makes an already hard situation worse. Our community should not stand by while access to something so basic is out of reach.

We call on the responsible decision-makers to make sure Ellie does need subway access and that she is not blocked from it. We ask for a fair, humane solution that recognizes her needs and gives her the chance to get food without unnecessary barriers.

Supporting Ellie is about more than one person. It is about respecting the basic needs of people in our community and making sure public access works for everyone who depends on it.
