A conversation with a fire victim

“I can’t sit down. I just have to get up, I have to get up and get. I can’t sit down and say that my joint hurting. And the same day it happen I get up and go about my business because I have to sell my papers.”

Words of paper vendor 64-year-old Camille who has been walking the streets for almost 20 years selling newspapers. Recently she lost her apartment in a fire and she related to me that the very evening of the fire she was back on the street selling newspapers.
