Latoya S. sits at her desk searching through overdue bills. Since 1998, she’s taken down close to 20 payday that is short-term. Picture by Marlita A. Bevenue.
1 day final might, Latoya S. had been walking her 6-year-old pit bull terrier, Gucci, when he started to snarl excitedly at a strange guy looking at the leading porch of her stone, two-bedroom ranch house. The man spoke as Latoya approached her home. “You Latoya?” She nodded.
The person arrived closer as the dog’s bark expanded louder. He handed Latoya an envelope and stated, “You’ve been served!” Latoya took the envelope and viewed the person dash to a classic, beat-up Ford Taurus. She pitched the sharp, white envelope to the bushes close to her entry way and went in the home.
