David and Rhona lost there Florida home a few weeks ago. Now they stand on the intersection of I-95 and Hallandale Blvd asking for handouts. They collect enough daily to eat a meal and stay in a cheap motel.
I asked if I could take a photo and publish it. They said yes and signed a release for me. I gave them some cash for the shot and asked a few more questions.
David was a tile setter and Rhona a housewife. David injured his leg and was unable to work.
More later in an article I will be writting on the Faces of Foreclosure.

All to common of a fate these days. So many, to many, are just a breath away from being right beside them.
