Title

Woman sheltering under a scaffold at Riverside Church

Description

On my daily morning walk, I pass homeless people sheltering under Riverside Church's scaffolding. It is rare to see a homeless woman. Daily she washes her clothes and leaves it to dry on the railing. The Pandemic causes job loss; as a consequence, eviction from their apartments.
