From the Paper:

"My friends and family have been lucky to have a roof over our heads and food in our belly's, unlike many in this country. I was unaware of how prevalent the homeless problem was until I saw a documentary produced by one of the many newsmagazines, which highlighted the issue. This was alarming enough to me, however, even more alarming was the fact that the homeless do not just include single people or adults. Instead, I saw many innocent faces on the screen of beautiful, innocent, wide-eyed children who, along with their parents were victims of the economy and were living impoverished and hungry in a shelter. After viewing this disturbing, yet informative television show, the next day at work I began discussing the issue with friends and co-workers."
