"She seems lost within herself -haunted by a deep sense of
abandon, surrounded by a sense of solitude,..." -Christian Caujolle;

Donna is a Saint who works the streets as a prostitute. She has no home. Whatever she
makes goes towards the motel rent. She is sensitive, sweet, sad, depressed, trusting,
very vulnerable and claims to be thirty eight. When she received her photos she
said: "G_d bless you! I love you for this; I really do." And then in her small
sad way she observed: "My hands are getting old." To really understand, one had
to hear these directly from her. The clock seems to be ticking down on Donna.
To know her and those like her is so painful I have to just get away.
