    After Freddy’s wife died, he fell into a deep depression and ended up losing the apartment they shared in Echo Park, Los Angeles. He pitched a tent under an overpass near where they used to live – it was a way for him to stay close to her. Freddy found a way to survive living on the street, but the challenges of being unhoused are almost too many to count. They take on a distinct flavor at night.
