Could use Help :) (Chance Homeless Family) (JUL 2007)

I filmed this 7/14/07. Please forward!

I met the family taking Chance's photograph on 6/26. He's 3. He lives on the street and in shelters with his mom, dad and 3 siblings.

Since, then several folks have offered to help. See the video for what is needed. Specifically:

* baby clothes (1y, 3T)
* blankets
* very large backpacks
* wipes (any sort)
* food cards
* fastpasses, tokens
* toiletries
* ...and Maleek would like a Game Boy with a game ;)

If you can help, email me at tom@tomstonegallery.com.

Thanks!

@Miikaika25 in ny acs takes your child away before it gets this far

[ohmylauren]

is there any update on this family at all? Do you still keep in contact with them? I would love to help out if they are still in need.

[Miikaika25]

seems strange that you would exclusively help this family because of a photograph of their bi-racial kid....

What does it mean that he is "tagged"?

yeah, the died of hunger i think in may.... thats what i was told, its so sad... the people that really need help just don't help themselves, they were given food tokens, but they sold them for crack apparently, i personaly don't believe this, but thats what i was told..
