what is indigent life

Indigent life refers to a life of extreme poverty, lacking the basic resources of a normal life. An indigent person is someone who is impoverished and unable to afford the basic necessities of life. Indigent people often lack not only money but also homes. The term "indigent" comes from a Latin word meaning wanting, which used to mean "lacking" and not just to describe desires. Homeless shelters, soup kitchens, free medical clinics, and court-appointed lawyers are all institutions that society has developed to help indigent people.
