Alice, 21, has no plans of giving up heroin and doesn’t see why she should. Three years ago she and her street companion, Iris, 25, found out she was pregnant. She continued using throughout. On Alice’s 19th birthday, Iris went to the grocery store for treats. When he got back, Alice was holding the baby and unconscious from an overdose. Iris called 911 and tried to get her breathing again. The paramedics revived Alice, then made sure social services took the baby away. She now begs with a sign saying she’s pregnant and needs help. People respond to her serene blondness, and take the couple in for months at a time. Until they see them for hustlers, and kick them out again.
