The Car on the Whitney Young High School Sidewalk Would Look Better With Yarn

One morning when my patient and I arrived at Whitney Young High School, there was a Nissan Versa sitting on the sidewalk in front of the school. I had never seen a car parked on the sidewalk in front of a school before.

This was a first for me.

There was no need for coffee. I was wide awake. I knew from talking with the staff that the car would be auctioned and the money would be given to the school. I’d seen these types of fundraisers before as a healthcare worker, but when I saw it, yarn bombing was involved.

As a fifth generation textiles enthusiast, I thought, “That car would look better with yarn.”
