Hi there! I just stumbled upon your project this morning after a week of building with Habitat for Humanity in Mississippi. While there & in surrounding states, the rate of homeless really got to me. While I love Habitat, there’s just some people that even we can’t help. I love your creative ideas, but I live in Illinois (for now–soon to live in New Orleans) and I don’t have a very disposable income as far as donations. I was wondering if there’s anything I could do to help from far away? or if you had any affiliates in other states?
Affiliates? Not yet! Help spread the word and the indiegogo campaign is probably the best help. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/tiny-homes-for-wis-homeless/x/5935443 But your compassion and understanding of the issues is also important, talk to your friends and coworkers about people without homes and the issues you saw – awareness is key to change! Smile and say hello next time you see someone without a home.
Thank you, I look forward to speaking with you more in detail
