therapist / dishwasher


This photo was taken by a therapist. As fewer people can afford therapy, professionals like her must seek additional income to survive. These are non-slip shoes required for her dishwashing job. She had to borrow money to buy them. “While my manager said, ‘Oh you can get non-slip shoes for $20 at a box store,’ what she is unaware of is that I wear a women’s size 4.5 and had to borrow $60 to find a size 5 that I could wear thick socks with. Not including taxes, I had to work 7.5 hours to pay back the loan."
