Cindy

“Being a homeless woman is especially hard” 

Cindy found herself homeless and alone after her friend died unexpectedly. Together they were living out of their vehicle, and one strange morning her friend didn't wake up. Doctors informed her he suffered from a brain tumor. In this moment she was alone. Without safety and protection, Cindy has molded herself into a smart proactive woman that takes no risk in exposing herself to the dangers of the streets. She feels her systematic sleeping habits and self-inflicted curfew save her life daily.

Cindy also suffers from emphysema. Behind her colorful personality, is a raspy voice and witty personality ready to give you the toughest forms of love. After receiving new hope from her painting, Cindy worked hard to collect a social security check to finally have a comfortable place to lay her head at night. Every night, Cindy is sure to eat chocolate ice cream before bed. “It’s the best way to go to sleep”, she explains.
