They are just two of the 114,000 students in New York City who are homeless.

Here is a day in their life, as reported by my colleague Eliza Shapiro.

Morning

Sandy gets up before 6 a.m. She shares a bed with her mother, Maria, and youngest brother, Jonni. Three other brothers sleep on a mattress on the ground. The family shares the bathroom and the kitchen of a two-bedroom apartment with another family.

Sandy commutes for one hour, from her home in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, to Public School 188, on Manhattan’s Lower East Side.

Darnell wakes before 6:30 a.m. He got only a few hours of sleep in the shelter. Now he has a 90-minute subway ride to his school in East Harlem. Darnell is in the fourth grade and has already shuffled through four schools.
