Remembering those who have died homeless


Homeless Remembrance Project LEAVES OF REMEMBRANCE DEDICATION - Sunday, October 13, 2013

 

25 bronze leaves were placed on the edges of Ballard Commons Park to remind us of those who have died homeless outside or from violence in our community. They are placed scattered as if fallen from a tree. They remind us of the sorrows and struggles of people living without a home.

 

Those who pass by are called by these names to remembrance, to compassion, and to action.
