VOICES OF OUR COMMUNITY OUR Streets: LEVI BY PAULA BARD LEVI IS FROM THE SOUTH, where his children still live. He came to Colorado when marijuana was legalized. He caught a staph infection when he stayed in Denver’s homeless shelters. OUR Streets are stories of Denver’s unhoused residents as captured by Paula Bard, who walks the streets of Denver to photograph the faces and collect the stories of those her city has abandoned. CREDIT: PAULA BARD HOW TO HELP The money we take in from vendors helps us cover a portion of our printing costs, but we depend largely on donations from individuals, businesses, and foundations to help us pay our rent and keep the lights on.
