Meet Tracy with her four children and what are her three wishe..

  • last year

Here: These days, a growing number of families are turning to 'weekly-rate hotels as a way to stay off the streets. But don't let the roof fool you, many of these motel-turned-homes are shoddy, small, and unkempt. Hardly ideal living conditions for any person, never mind young children.

Tracy and her four children are one of the thousands of families across the U.S. who call a motel "home." Although their living situation is not ideal, Tracy says it is an upgrade over the last motel room they lived in. Her husband works full-time, but Tracy cannot find a job, so the motel room is the only housing they can afford.

Seems every weekly rate hotel I have ever visited is horrible. Besides being run down, most places are filled with drug dealers, and criminal activity and are unfit for children. Its easy to understand why Tracy wants a better environment for her kids.

Very special thanks to Team Invisible People
