Melissa Lyttle
Diagnosed with clinical depression 2 years ago, after trying to kill herself with a kitchen knife, Meghan Stone, 10, left, often escapes into her own mind while life continues around her in the small hotel room that the 7 members of her family share. The Stones have been homeless for over a year & they describe their stuggles as chaotic.
Matthew, 15 mos., plays with cans on a filthy mattress inside of the homeless shelter his family moved into after being kicked out of a nearby motel.
Tailor, 4, leans on her mom while some neighbors gather around to talk about a teenage boy who ran away from home that morning.
On their 1st day in a new shelter that was left in deplorable condition by former residents, Matthew, 1, is given a bath in the kitchen sink because Dempsy felt that the bathtub was too dirty & disgusting to put her baby in.
