Pulitzer Prize Feature Photography: Strider Wolf, a boy living in poverty in Maine


Globe staff photographer Jessica Rinaldi won the Pulitzer Prize in feature photography for her compelling depiction of a boy living in poverty in Maine.




Strider carried gallon jugs of water to Lanette after filling them from a spigot behind the camper. She needed the water to wash dishes and bathe the boys after warming it on the stove. (Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff)



After the beating, Strider and Gallagher were sent to live with their paternal grandmother and grandfather. They fell behind on the rent, and after two years of not paying, their landlord kicked them out. With nowhere else to go, the family piled into a camper and began to bounce from campsite to campsite. Inside the cramped camper, Strider pulled his pajamas over his head as he changed in his grandparents’ bedroom. (Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff)

it seems like that landlord was pretty understanding to let them live there for 2 years without paying the rent. I know I'd be out of here in a few months at the most if I didn't pay my rent.
