What does homeless look like?

Did you know that the @homelesslookslike team is made up of three photographers!? That means we get to make beautiful pictures like this happen 😭😭😭🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌🏿 @amandadawnseniors met Mark last night and he held her reflector during a senior session she shot in Norfolk and he sang for her. We feel so lucky to meet these amazing people and we love to share them with the world 💕 #homelesslookslike

Dr. Sarah Scarbrough is the founder of the REAL LIFE CENTER in Richmond, Virginia and I will tell you something - she is a force. She is doing some of the hardest work with some of the most unlikely folks who honestly need it the most, but most people are not willing to give a chance to. If you want to see an awesome, quick infographic that covers the work this nonprofit has done in the first year...I've linked it in her blog post and you will not believe who her favorite clients are to work with!

I have spent many hours sitting at this desk reading a book called How to Form a Nonprofit Corporation by attorney Anthony Mancuso soaking in a heck of a lot of information. I know terms and policies and laws now that I never thought I would know about, and I LIKE learning about it. It's hard, it's emotional, it's overwhelming...and it's extremely worth it to me. Stepping into something hard and uncomfortable like how I can help the homeless and encourage others to be more compassionate and understanding toward them - it's a big challenge. I had to drop out of college at ODU because I was so poor riding the bus back and forth to two jobs making barely anything and I couldn't afford to buy $800 of textbooks one semester and ironically, I was going to go to school to become a social worker. I ended up on a LOT of different career paths after that but my heart is still there, and this nonprofit is exactly how I'm going to live out my dream of doing something bigger than myself to make life better for those in need. THANK YOU for being here 💕💕💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #homelesslookslike #obx #outerbanks
