C.J. and Todd and their dog, Petey, formerly lived in a hotel before moving to this small trailer in the Gary neighborhood of Duluth. Both have suffered from mental and physical abuse. "Homelessness is like a thief, first it steals your dignity, then it steals your hope, then it steals your dreams," she says. "This trailer is falling apart and it isn't much, but it is ours. I cried the first time I mowed the lawn."
