In the midst of a Tsunami of families facing hardship, precious single moms and their children are escaping the mean streets of Skid Row and finding refuge at Union Rescue Mission’s Hope Gardens Family Center. It’s a place where single moms can exchange fear for hope and the opportunity for a new life in a safe, caring environment.

To help tell the story of this process, we produced a short documentary that follows Beatriz, a young single mother, as she transitions both physically and emotionally into her new home. This is a short in the ongoing “Stories from Skid Row” series that we do for LA’s Union Rescue MIssion.

Music was graciously provided by Eluvium – www.eluvium.net
Tracks: “The Unfinished”, “The End”, and “Taken”
