Too Poor to Die: A Book Reading & Discussion

Join author Amy Shea for a compelling conversation with Pat Quigley, licensed funeral director and supervisor at Laurel Hill Funeral Home. Together, they’ll discuss Shea’s new book, Too Poor to Die: The Hidden Realities of Dying in the Margins, and Pat's work at Laurel Hill, unpacking the often-overlooked questions of equity, access, and dignity at the end of life.

In the spirit of collective care, we will also be accepting donations of new women's and men's t-shirts for Philly House, a local organization providing shelter and services to individuals experiencing homelessness.

Books will be sold by The Head and the Hand bookstore!

This event is generously presented and hosted by Threshold Collective at the MAAS Building.
