This book was an eye-opening account from 50 homeless people.

My sister has been homeless for a year now, and it makes me wonder what she would say if a stranger interviewed her. She reminds me of some people in this book. She's a meth addict, but she had every chance to get clean. We got her housing, work, counseling, clothes, etc. and she ran away to get high. A lot of these people admit their faults, but I wonder what she would say.

Rissreads That's really sad about your sister but don't loose hope. She may eventually find her way. I went through something similar with my brother who was lost for 11yrs. He has been clean for 8 yrs now and has a gorgeous family. 4y
Rachel.Rencher @Rissreads I'm glad to hear about your brother and sorry you had to go through that. My sister has been this way for almost 20 years and just recently lost custody of her 7 and 4 year old girls. I thought last year was the turning point for her but she seems to want drugs more than anything else. 4y

CoverToCoverGirl It‘s heart breaking when a family member you love becomes lost to you due to an addiction. My sister is one of those lost souls, my last physical contact with her was January 1986. Her last known address, the streets of Toronto. She has only made contact with me a couple of times in all those years, I miss her every day. 💔 I live with the hope that she has managed to turn her life around. I sincerely hope your sister will turn things around. ❤️ 4y

This book is amazing. I love reading the insights of people who you would normally just pass by on the streets. I also love that Justin put a statistic on every page that goes along with the person's story.

In this case, materialistic people are actually at a greater risk of depression.

MariettaSG This book sounds fabulous! What an excellent idea and achievement. 4y

My friend wrote a book! 👏😁 He traveled the country buying meals for homeless people with the goal of humanizing them and telling their story. This book reminds me a lot of Humans of New York. I'm super proud of him, and if you'd like one of your own, you can get it here 👉 https://fiftysandwiches.com/product/fifty-sandwiches-humanize-the-homeless/?gcli...
