And if you’ve never met Melissa or Sean, come and discover this incredible couple that are among so many finding their own path to survival in this city. It's a compelling piece of photojournalism by Leah Nash that you won't want to miss.
Street Roots hits the pavement first thing Friday morning, and your vendor will be ready and waiting with this and many other stories to share!
