Age 22 and alone on the streets

Scott Walker September 15, 2015

She is only 22-years old and lives in a small tent with her dog secluded from others in the woods of Nashville. She has a cross around her neck and works hard to sell the "Faith Unity" paper to passerby's. She told me, "This was the only job I could get." I bought five, assuming that would help in some little way.

Before I could walk away, two different well dressed, but intoxicated men approached her asking to pet the dog. I questioned their intentions, but not out loud. It left me thinking, "This is someones young daughter or are her parents even living?"

"Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat." - Mother Teresa
