Falecha Reynolds-Jones mourns her son, Trevor Reynolds, with friend Sabrena Smitherman at Westside Funeral Home in Calera, Ala. on Saturday, July 14, 2012. Trevor Reynolds, 14, was fatally shot while he took an afternoon nap on July 5th in his bedroom on East Livingston Street in Springfield, Mo. His stepfather, William Richard Jones, has been charged.

Lyzz Buford rolls up her sleeping bag at "the bridge," an abandoned loading dock in downtown Springfield, where she camped with about 15 other people experiencing homelessness for about a month. Police asked the group to leave and homeless advocates brought a truck on Jan. 24, 2015.

Lyzz Buford and her boyfriend, Tommy Sherman, listen as Courtney Webster tells them about the Pregnancy Care Center's services on Jan. 29. Buford met Sherman when she arrived in Springfield. Though he's not the father, he said he wants to help Lyzz raise the baby.

The ultrasound technician said she couldn't be sure but her best guess was that the baby was a girl. "She looks like an alien," Buford said. At her next ultrasound she found out she's actually having a boy.

Lyzz Buford, left, waits for a bus at the downtown bus terminal on her way to look for work on January 30, 2015. The pregnancy has "put a lot of strain on my mind and body and emotions," she said.

The doctor measures Lyzz Buford's belly at her six month appointment on March 25, 2015. Buford, 21, has been homeless for the last five years, staying at shelters, with friends, and at camps throughout southern Missouri.

Lyzz Buford eats a sandwich at Subway with her mom, Erica Herman on March 27, 2015. “It’s really hard but I have to let her be an adult and make her own crappy decisions,” said Herman, a social worker. “I can’t rescue her.”

Lyzz Buford works at the counter at McDonalds on April 29, 2015. Late in her pregnancy, members of the homeless advocacy group The Gathering Friends gave her rides to and from work, about 6 miles from her home.

Cody White, 10, plays on his mom's computer in the garage-turned-home he shares with his mom, Cherlyn Dixon, and twin brother, Chris White, who is mentally handicapped on June 25, 2012. With no other housing options, Cherlyn and the twins moved into the garage adjacent to a basement room occupied by Cherlyn’s nephew, his girlfriend, and their baby.

Richard Roberts and Ashley Kelly hang out in their basement living room with Richard's aunt, Cherlyn, and her twin boys, Chris and Cody, while waiting for the landlord to collect a partial rent payment. They usually can't pay the entire amount of $450 per month for the downstairs portion of the house they share. Photographed July 1, 2012.

Cheyenne Roberts, 8 months, crawls on a sleeping bag in the basement bedroom she shares with her parents, Ashley Kelly, 19, and Richard Roberts, 21. Kelly, who was homeless for most of her life, wants a better life for her daughter. "I want her to be so much better than us," she said. "I want to make sure she grows up and has everything she needs." Photographed July 20, 2012.

Chris White's mother said he and his brother each have only a couple of pairs of socks. Cherlyn Dixon usually shops at The Kitchen’s thrift store when she can get a clothing voucher.

Cheryln Dixon talks about her sons being removed by the Children's Division and her plans to get them back. On July 29, police came to the door saying they thought the house was abandoned and that it would be condemned. The children were temporarily placed at Isabel's House, a crisis nursery where parents retain custody of their children while they address problems. "Was it better for us to be on the streets and not have a place? At least we had a roof over our head, a place to eat and I'm with family," she said. Photographed August 2, 2012.

Cheryln Dixon, Ashley Kelly, and Richard Roberts wait for a bus on E. Norton Road to take them back home after finding out there were no vacancies at a weekly motel. They thought they would be able to get their kids back sooner by moving into a motel for a week, but without enough money to stay longer, they had no long-term plan. Photographed August 2, 2012.

Ashley Kelly hugs her finance Richard Roberts after their daughter and Richard's cousins were temporarily removed from their home by the state's Children's Division, which determined that their housing conditions were unsafe. Photographed August 3, 2012.

Richard Roberts and Ashley Kelly make improvements to an upstairs room before a social worker comes over to reinspect. Previously, the social worker said if they move upstairs--into the portion of the house where a couple with two young children lived until the police came--their housing will be safe enough for the children to return. They were also required to padlock the door to basement and garage. Photographed August 8, 2012.

Chris White sits on his bed during quiet time at Isabel's House. His mother only visited once during the two weeks the boys were away but called them twice a day. "Chris, he didn't understand. He thought he was coming home. It was harder and disruptive for the staff there. I though it was better if I just call every night," said Cherlyn Dixon. Photographed August 9, 2012.
