Missing our Leaves?
It’s autumn already, and the leaves are starting to fall. The Homeless Remembrance Project’s Leaves of Remembrance are scattered in Seattle sidewalks, and our unique public memorial is needed more than ever. But, while the number of homeless deaths is heartbreakingly on the rise, due to the pandemic, we were unable to dedicate and place beautiful bronze Leaves of Remembrance this past season. We’re creating an ambitious work plan for new Leaves in new and old locations in 2021, and we’re grateful for your patience, solidarity and support.
