Keystone Crossroads

Keystone Crossroads Archive

 Mary Ney, turning 73 next month, moved to Scranton to be with family. She has been living in this one bedroom apartment for almost three years with her adult son, who she cares for because he has suffered brain damage.  Ney, a single mother of four, says ‘I don't like it. I have no faucet for my tub so I can't take baths. I turn the stove on for heat because the one heater in the living room isn't enough to heat the whole apartment.’ (Jessica Kourkounis/For Keystone Crossroads)
