Homeless in Minneapolis, but not faceless Lucy Y. Her, Star Tribune Published August 12, 2003 At 21, Cynthia Arnold owned a Mercedes, had a two-bedroom apartment and was making $1,000 a day working as an escort in Texas.
She left that job to work in a brothel in Las Vegas, but her addiction to cocaine landed her on the street. She's been there for more than a decade. "It's a day-to-day thing, not knowing what to expect," said Arnold, who now lives in a group home in Minneapolis. Arnold, 36, is trying to piece together her life. Her story is one of 20 that will be symbolized in masks as part of the "Found Faces" art show. Each of the homeless Minnesotans who have masks made from their faces will be paid a modeling fee of $50. The masks will be sold for $200 to $250 each. The exhibit will be displayed in November in the foyer of the First Congregational Church of Minnesota in Minneapolis. http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/4037123.html Posted by Shawn Lewis, Field Neighborhood -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup CareerBuilder.com has over 400,000 jobs.
