Rinaldi's Pulitzer-winning submission was a photo-documentary of a seven-year-old named Strider Wolf. At two years old, Wolf was severely beaten by his parents, and underwent surgery for his damaged organs; the scar of which is visible in Rinaldi's work. The photos document Wolf living with his grandparents in rural Maine.[3] When the story initially ran, a GoFundMe campaign was started, raising nearly $20,000 for Wolf and his caretakers.[2] Rinaldi's other submission was a finalist for chronicling the life of a mother addicted to heroin and her young daughters in East Boston.[4]
