For you shall go out in joy and be led back in peace…. Isaiah 55:12a
Partnership for Peace
Where is peace needed in our community?
Moving, Belongings, Everyday
An older man wearing an apron of a food service worker, pushes a wheelchair rather than sitting in it. We presume he is unhoused and using it to carry his neatly stacked belongings along busy Hillsborough Road. A luxury car speeds by between him and a construction site bringing still more retail to this neighborhood.
I took this picture because under-housed, underpaid neighbors of all ages struggle to find a place for their stuff as well as themselves. Where will he and his items be when it rains? Is he or someone else in need of that wheelchair, or a walker, to get around?
