My day-to-day experience working in Bayview tells me that the struggles are real and ever present, but it also tells me that’s not the whole story. Bayview is the oily concrete you skin your knee on, but it’s also the flower growing up between the cracks. Every day I see families and communities that lovingly support each other through some of the toughest experiences imaginable. I see beautiful kids and doting parents. They struggle and they laugh and then they struggle some more. But no matter how hard parents work for their kids, the lack of resources in the community is crushing.
