Homeless for One Week

Homeless for One Week http://www.HomelessForOneWeek.com My goal is to plan and complete one project annually that will draw attention to this devastating problem.

I want my experiences to open your eyes and help inspire you to do more. To help you see that homelessness is a risk that we all face, but none of us deserve.

I will document each step of my journey through video, blogs, and interviews with those who are actually homeless.
