The smell of jasmine and wet
sage in my nose, the feel of cold rain
on my head.
View of trees and bushes, rocks
and hills, clouds in the sky.

I get kinda depressed cause it
reminds me of my mistakes,
my time is done
I will leave friends behind
Never to forget
I will see them again one day
when the time comes
S
Family are friends and friends
are family.
Memories made, laughs shared
tears shed, I will not forget
but I will not be caged
again

elling Street Roots is far more than
just a job for Julianne and Dominick
Hart; it is an exercise in relationship
building.
In nearly everything they do, Dominick
and Julianne are together. They met in 2014
and bonded instantly through their mutual
love of music. Dominick was playing drums
in Chapman Park the day they met, and
Julianne said she knew he was the one for
her.
“I walked right up to him and asked if I
could play my guitar for him,” she said.
The two work well as a team and are
rarely seen without each other. Their love
for music shines through when they are
selling Street Roots, and they can often be
found making up songs to attract
potential customers.
“When we get to work
together, we are earning it
together so we are both
excited,” said Julianne, smiling
at Dominick.

After living together in
Canby for several years, the
couple unexpectedly lost
their housing and ended
up On the streets of 1
«
Portland.
Julianne said the
transition from having
a steady income and
a house with her
children to sleeping
on the streets was
hard.
To make matters
worse, soon after they
met, Dominick was

diagnosed with colon cancer. The doctors
initially told him he had just 10 months to
live. In the past three years, he has had
surgeries, and he looks forward to starting
a new treatment soon that he hopes will
lead to recovery.
Things have begun to look up for
Dominick and Julianne. They recently got
the keys to their own apartment, thanks to
Transition Projects, a program that
provides short-term and long-term housing
support.
Having a place of their own opens up a
world of opportunities for the two.
“I’m going to be working to get a more
regular visitation with them,” Julianne said
about her three
children,
.
“now that
a s
I have
my
own
*
place with running water and electricity.”
She said her plan is to “save up for
Christmas so I can get gifts for my kids and
have our first real Christmas tree in our
place.”
And Dominick now has a clean, safe
environment to rest and heal from
procedures.
“Trying to recuperate from that (surgery)
while living in a tent is not easy,” he said.
When the two aren’t selling Street Roots
or making music, they enjoy gardening.
“I like being out in nature and making it
more beautiful,” Julianne said.
The couple say they’d like to eventually
move to a smaller town where they are able
to garden and enjoy nature.
Above all, they try their

best to stay optimistic.
“We’re both survivors,”

Julianne said. “We made

we have this new

place to us now.”
