VIGIL FOR HOMELESS DEATHS

From our friends at WHEEL:

"Dear Supporters of WHEEL/Women in Black:
 
From friends at Heroes for the Homeless (an outreach ministry to under-the-freeway sleepers), we learned of the death by suicide of 58-year-old Norm Scofield, in the SODO neighborhood, on May 9th.  Then, from news reports and confirmed by the King County MEs, we learned that Scott McHone, 50, was sleeping out (ie homeless) when he was run over and killed near a parking garage in the Denny Triangle last week.  We will stand vigil for Mr Scofield and Mr McHone at noon Wednesday, May 25th, outside the Seattle Justice Center (at 5th/Cherry).  Our hearts are with all the Heroes who’d gotten to know and love Norm Scofield these past few years, and all the friends and family of both men.  
 
Already this year at least 20 homeless women and men have died outside or by violence in King County.  This will be the third week in a row we’ll have stood vigil, and our hearts are hurting."
