I was driving in Baltimore City the other day and i took notice of a homeless man’s sign that reads “I Am Hopeless”. There was something gripping about those choice words. I felt compelled to take the thoughts a little further and decided to get the real story of some of these homeless people in DC. You can’t judge a book by its cover. They are not all homeless by choice, their story needs to be heard. Bring hope alive for them. If you would like to reach out to these people, feel free to contact me.
