Operation Breakthrough




Here are some images of an ongoing project I'm currently doing. They are the very early stages of documenting life at Operation Breakthrough, a daycare center located in Kansas City established to help children living in poverty gain access to education, clothing and medical care. It provides care for infants to grade school children and before and after school care for school- aged children. There is a waiting list of approximately 1200 children and the enrollment priority is given to homeless children. Operation Breakthrough sometimes serves as the child's only source of stability, clothing, food and healthcare. Teachers, therapists and healthcare workers struggle together everyday to bring these children a chance at opportunity
