There’s a 10-year-old boy named Liam who isn’t sure where his geckos are going to sleep.

Liam only has three weeks left of summer before he starts school at a Baltimore arts feeder program because he’s a talented violinist. But it isn’t clear where he’ll wake up before school. He’s been staying with a friend so he doesn’t have to see the deputies if they come back.

His mother, Deana Woodward, hasn’t slept much the past few nights because they are facing eviction.
