Despair And Donald Trump

Robert LaCount, a recovering addict who voted for Donald Trump, sits for a photo in the old church he is fixing up as a community center in Holquim, Wash., Monday, June 12, 2017. He considers his old building an analogy for his county _ good bones, a good soul, a working organ that plays beautiful music. It just needs a lot of help. “It’s been sitting empty and it’s tired,” he says. “It needs to get back to life.” He’s pinned his hopes on Trump. “We’re banking on him." (AP Photo/David Goldman)

Despair And Donald Trump

Forrest Wood, 24, injects heroin into this arm under a bridge along the Wishkah River at Kurt Cobain Memorial Park in Aberdeen, Wash., Tuesday, June 13, 2017. Wood grew up here, watching drugs take hold of his relatives, and he swore to himself that he would get out of this place, maybe spend his days in the woods as a park ranger. But he started taking opioid painkillers as a teenager, and before he knew it he was shooting heroin, a familiar first chapter in the story of American addiction. (AP Photo/David Goldman)

Forrest Wood, 24, pauses after injecting heroin into this arm under a bridge along the Wishkah River at Kurt Cobain Memorial Park in Aberdeen, Wash., Tuesday, June 13, 2017. He’s tried to quit; the drug only delays the sickness and shame that set in when he doesn’t shoot up. “I’m trying to get myself to feel like I have some sort of purpose,” he said. “I just want to be happy, that’s all.” (AP Photo/David Goldman)

Grays Harbor County lands near the top of all the lists no place wants to be on: drugs, alcohol, early death, child abuse, runaway rates of welfare that pull some out of poverty but trap others in a cycle of dependency.

A mourner lights a candle at the memorial marking the spot where Shawn Vann Schreck died two days before in a homeless encampment where he lived along the river in Aberdeen, Wash., Wednesday June 14, 2017. On Aberdeen's banks, residents of the homeless encampment pulled driftwood from the water to construct a cross, 8 feet tall, to honor their latest loss: Vann Schreck, 42, who died slowly from heart and lung ailments made worse by infrequent medical care and longtime addiction. A generation ago, people like him went to work in the mills and bought tidy houses in nice neighborhoods, says the Rev. Sarah Monroe, a street minister here. (AP Photo/David Goldman)

The two used to have jobs, bank accounts, credit cards, a house before Hensler lost his job and insurance to cover methadone treatments. "I know we're kind of messed out right now," added Hadley. "But this is not my life." (AP Photo/David Goldman)
