Shannon gives the sign language symbol for “I love you” to his family as they depart on a Chapel Hill Transit bus headed for the HomeStart Women’s Shelter. The family usually separates for the night after eating dinner at the IFC Community House because of regulations at the women’s shelter prohibiting male residents.

“Peace of Mind”
In early January, Shannon Greene and his family moved to Chapel Hill, N.C. searching for refuge after disaster shook their family roots. A house fire and a motorcycle accident left Shannon and the family of four searching for somewhere to call home. While nothing has come easy, with a little help and a lot of faith, the Greene’s have found a new home and a renewed sense of hope.
