Impressions gathered by Steve Blodner

Not all the stories that I encountered had a happy ending. Blandina and David Ibarra and their four children live in Cameron Park in a dilapidated trailer that offers almost no protection from the elements. Since David lost his construction job, they've been unable to build anything new, and the children share a tiny room that doubles as a space for storage. "My children confront me, questioning, 'Why did we come here?'" says Blandina.
