HOMELESS MOM AND BABY LIVING IN TENT: THIS IS AMERICA

HAPPENING NOW: Tuesday evening, several Ballard residents reached out and claimed a BABY was spotted in a tent next to the Fred Meyer and Albert Lee off NW 43rd St & 8th Ave NW. I immediately jumped in my car and drove over to investigate. This is a well known area for tents and RV's. It's been cleared multiple times by the city in the past year. When I arrived, I could not believe what I was seeing. A mother and her one-year old son were indeed living in this encampment. And the story gets even crazier. Her name is Kimberly Jenkins, the same woman I encountered last summer at the Fremont Canal Park homeless encampment. She's been on quite a journey. I tried to get her help. Not quite sure how she fell through the cracks. Life clearly happened. But she does not do #fentanyl or any illegal drugs. This right here is a case study on the importance of surrounding somebody with community, accountability, and walking with them until the end. King County Regional Homelessness Authority please send outreach workers. Councilmember Strauss please personally go to this tent and help out this mom and her child living on the streets in your district. The WA State Department of Children, Youth, and Families should be on this immediately. This is a call out to every elected official in #Seattle and #KingCounty who wants to help. This is an opportunity for a #OneSeattle moment. @MayorofSeattle @GovInslee @kcexec @CMSaraNelson @CMTMosqueda @cmkshama @CMTammyMorales @CMAndrewJLewis @lisa_herbold @SeattleCouncil @KCCouncil @SeattleParks @SeattleShines @seattledot @SeattleSPU At the very least, I know Union Gospel Mission, We Heart Seattle, and Reach Ministry can mobilize right now.
