Fashion Saved My Life
Formerly homeless and addicted to drugs, Marvina Tatum now lives at a Housing Works residence and works as a clothing sorter at Housing Works’ donations warehouse, where she processes donations to events like Fashion for Action. That means that Marvina, pictured here wearing a donated dress from Marc Jacobs, is the first person to see the fashion that saved her life:
“I owe my life to Housing Works. Housing Works taught me how to live with HIV. And I do mean live!”, Marvina says, adding, “And the dress is beautiful.”
