Homelessness is a human tragedy.  Reaching Out…. honors four resilient Central City Concern employees: Medina, Lynda, Bobby and Tyrone.  Each came to CCC homeless and in need, worked the program, and today are program leaders Reaching Out…. and extending a hand up to those who follow, pulling them back from the edge.

This is a collaboration with Mary McLaughlin. Mary did portraits of Lynda and Tyrone and Sherri did Medina and Bobby. The four portraits were stitched together temporarily and titled “Reaching Out…” for entry into On the Edge.
