In light of the global pandemic that faces our world, we have all suffered hardships and it has only increased the international homeless crisis. Edinburgh's homeless makes up 11% of homeless households in Scotland, second to Glasgow... 51,365 people, including adults and children were reported homeless in a 2019/20 study. Growing up in New York, the homeless crisis has been one that frustrates me for the lack of permanent solutions and magnitude which it effects a community. I believe that shelter and safety is a human right. I also believe that creativity has the power to heal. Since moving the Edinburgh I have seen the homeless population struggle through brutal winter conditions and a global pandemic. I am eternally grateful for the opportunities that have allowed me to study in this beautiful city, it is time for me to pay it forward. I thank Edinburgh for becoming my home during a tough time by documenting the beauty and sharing it with the world with hopes to make even the smallest impression to impact a life with potential to flourish.

I will be donating 50% of proceeds to Streetwork.org, an organization located in Edinburgh that provides people in difficult circumstances the expert, compassionate and flexible support to link people into the services they need.
