"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant."
-Marthin Luther King Jr.
How many times have we seen and heard on the news and social media about the “homeless” problem. Someone with a camera standing at a “safe” distance zoomed in on people trying to live and survive on the streets, filming with out consent. Or social media sites dedicating their content to the “worst” in our beautiful city of Seattle. In addition people that use our unhoused neighbors to puff up their own self and accounts on Instagram exploiting the most vulnerable.
What if we took a different approach? What if we looked people in the eyes and said ‘hello’, and treated everyone without judgement, with dignity, and with the utmost respect? What if gave everyone a sense of belonging in our community.
We are all in this together.

A simple question with a complex answer, yet people say they just want to be treated like a human being. This suggests we have been failing as a society to achieve this seemingly simple task.

On January 11th, 2024, Seattle witnessed the sweeping of the Greenwood camp situated next to Fred Meyer. This operation by the city unfolded amidst below-freezing temperatures, starting at 9 am. As a light snowfall added to the challenging conditions, individuals found themselves in a state of confusion, disorientation, anger, and fear while hastily packing their belongings. Residents were issued a mere 3-day notice to collect their possessions and relocate.
Sweeps
Sweeps often happen in Seattle. People lose most of their belongings and are displaced into other areas of the city further away from important needed resources. This happens over and over again.
Making a difference
On May 1st, 2024 Palmer finally was able to receive his own apartment for the first time in almost 3yrs of living on the streets of Seattle. Help Palmer with the essentials! We raised over $3,000 with the generosity of our community through GoFundMe.

A MUST WATCH story!
It’s unique, but at the same time I hope that it’s not. On the other side of people who are experiencing homelessness there are family’s and friends who care, who love, and who hurt.
I was honored to be part of such an incredible story with Nico and I hope there are more stories such as this one.
