Day #304. Veteran Gerry Bartlett walks with his crutches in the hallway at the Veterans Academy, in San Francisco, on Thursday, January 14, 2021. The 66-year-old disabled veteran with bad knees and a worse back must push himself out of his chair in his little room on the third floor, lunge for a pair of crutches and ever-so-slowly make his way down the hall to the stairs. After many breaks, a lot of heavy breathing and worries about falling, he finally makes it to the first floor where his motorized scooter is waiting. Incredibly, Bartlett’s excruciating trip to the front door, which he can only manage three times a week, is a vast improvement. Before intense physical therapy, he was stuck in his room — for five years. “Years go by, and I can’t leave,” he recalled “I’ve been waiting for five years. Five years to relaunch my life.” Life will get a lot easier for Bartlett and other formerly homeless veterans who are disabled or worried about struggling with stairs as they age when two elevators under construction at the Veterans Academy in the Presidio are finally completed. - On assignment for San Francisco Chronicle.

After fleeing domestic violence, Victoria Vega was living in a San Francisco shelter with her two children, Alondra and Bryant, and working two jobs when the pandemic hit. She stopped driving for Uber because there were no riders and she was scared of the virus. She had to give up her car because she couldn’t make payments. Her janitorial work also disappeared. Her situation is hardly unique as the coronavirus ravages the economy, leaving many people needing unemployment benefits. About 7 million Californians speak a language other than English at home. The majority are Spanish speakers but 2.4 million speak a myriad of other tongues. Lack of language access for jobless benefits created a tsunami of exclusion for millions of California residents. - On assignment for San Francisco Chronicle.

My parents, Lilian Hoffmann and Edgardo Hevia, at their home in San Carlos, Chile on March 7, 2021. When the pandemic hit, I was far away from them, I was in San Francisco, CA, where I live with my husband. We are a united Latino family, and due to the pandemic, I couldn't see my people for over a year. It was one of the most challenging and uncertain times of my life. This photograph was taken to celebrate the reunion, full of happiness, full of gratitude. - personal archive.
