  • Glen Arm, Maryland - December 30, 2015: Allen Geiwitz, 71, and his mother Hilda Geiwitz, 95, live in separate apartments at Glen Meadows Retirement Community in Glen Arm, Maryland, but each Sunday they have a standing date to watch Columbo in Hilda's apartment, where they are photographed Wednesday December 30, 2015.<br />
<br />
Allen Geiwitz, 71, moved into the Glen Meadows Retirement Community, a CCRC in Glen Arm, Maryland, about nine months after his ninety-one-year-old mother Hilda Geiwitz. The upkeep of his three-bedroom home became tiresome, and he wanted to be closer to his mother. Moving into the same facility made sense for him. The trend of elderly children caregivers moving to the same retirement communities as their parents is picking up steam because the lengthening lifespan means that caregivers are getting older, too.<br />

City Springs Elementary School first grader Jahmal Harrison, and his mother Tameka Harrison, wait across the street from his school for the 11 bus to their shelter Wednesday, February 29, 2012. Tameka, who can't work due to a facial injury, volunteers at her son's school where poverty is the norm. Ninety-six percent of the student body qualifies for free lunches. Tameka and Jahmal, who suffers from lead poisoning, used to live in one of the close-by housing projects, but have been homeless for the last two months. They're currently staying at Sarah's Hope Shelter in West Baltimore. Tameka thought she was going to be moving into an apartment Friday, under the auspices that both the security deposit and the first month's rent would be waived, but the latter was not. So, they're staying in the Sarah's Hope shelter a little while longer.

Fans of wrestling, they play around during their wait. Tameka, who can't work due to a facial injury, volunteers at her son's school where poverty is the norm. Ninety-six percent of the student body qualifies for free lunches. Tameka and Jahmal, who suffers from lead poisoning, used to live in one of the close-by housing projects, but have been homeless for the last two months. They're currently staying at Sarah's Hope Shelter in West Baltimore. Tameka thought she was going to be moving into an apartment Friday, under the auspices that both the security deposit and the first month's rent would be waived, but the latter was not. So, they're staying in the Sarah's Hope shelter a little while longer.

  • Gambrills, Maryland - January 02, 2019: Wendy Shaia, the Executive Director of Social Work Community Outreach Service at the University of Maryland, with her 19-year-old autistic son John Shaia at their home in Gambrills, Md., Wednesday January 2, 2018. Autism, once thought to be a condition for wealthy white people, has a long history of diagnosis prejudice for poor and minority children. Wendy, a solidly middle-class African American mother, with a masters degree, tried getting a diagnosis for John when he was two, but was repeatedly dismissed or misdiagnosed until he was 10.<br />

  • Gambrills, Maryland - January 02, 2019: Wendy Shaia, the Executive Director of Social Work Community Outreach Service at the University of Maryland, with her 19-year-old autistic son John Shaia at their home in Gambrills, Md., Wednesday January 2, 2018. Autism, once thought to be a condition for wealthy white people, has a long history of diagnosis prejudice for poor and minority children. Wendy, a solidly middle-class African American mother, with a masters degree, tried getting a diagnosis for John when he was two, but was repeatedly dismissed or misdiagnosed until he was 10.<br />

A bullet casing was found on City Springs School's playground Wednesday, February 29, 2012. The Southeast neighborhood of Baltimore has a high poverty rate. Ninety-six percent of the student body qualifies for free lunches. Students aren't allowed inside the basketball court, where broken bottles, and used drug paraphernalia are often left, and homeless people are often found sleeping on the school's benches.
