Watch this exclusive interview with Story, 19, who has experienced being homeless in Hawai’i, how he is giving back to the homeless community now and some tips to help the homeless population.
"i remember the time when i held up a sign asking for food, and I instantly knew that I had broken something in myself that I was never going to get back again.”
"That was the first time I had flung myself at the mercy of others while I was at my worst.”
“I remember the looks people give me as they walk by”
What the community at large can do:
- be a good samaritan
- by far the hardest part of being homeless was being called a liar,
- being treated as something shameful
- there is a lot of good the community can do for the homeless just by treating them as humans
- a little goes a long way
