FEEL GOOD STORY OF THE WEEK: It's been an absolutely tragic past few days in the #Seattle news cycle. Just use the GOOGLE machine or look at my twitter posts and you will see what I am talking about.
But on Thursday morning, at least for one brief moment, I saw what happens when… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
FRIDAY FOLLOW UP: I went back today to check on the Ballard encampment where Jenkins lived with her baby boy. Her friend Ginger is still there and took over the tent. In fact Jenkins did stop by to check on her street community today and hang out. As I have reported in the past,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
EARLIER THIS WEEK: This was the situation Tuesday night. I called on elected officials and other outreach groups to help. We Heart Seattle(@weheartseattle) was the only organization to cut through the red tape and bureaucracy. #Seattle
NEARLY A YEAR AGO: I met Kimberly Jenkins at the Fremont Canal Park encampment in August of 2022. She got into some form of transitional housing and even an apt with her husband. But life happened and she ended up back on the streets with her child.

COMMUNITY FIRST: All it takes is one person to care and walk with the poor and marginalized. Andrea Suarez(@weheartfounder) answered the call immediately. This is the model that works. @CMDanStrauss
