Back in June, I found out about a community of homeless people who are living in tents in the Uptown area of Charlotte. The shelters aren't taking people like they normally would because of the Coronavirus so these people have had to live outside in a field. A friend of mine was collecting donations and we went out on a Saturday afternoon and helped distribute care packages, food, water, & clothes. It was a humbling life-changing experience to be out there.
I met some wonderful people that day. They are still out there and very much in need of help. It is 100 degrees out here some days and they're living outside with no shade or any of the things we usually take for granted. I took my camera with me that day to document in hopes that they will get more help with awareness of what's going on. If you are interested in helping, please let me know. They are some of the nicest, and most appreciative people I have ever met.
