We Are All Homeless
|
| Many of us feel uncomfortable and nervous when we come across homeless people carrying signs asking for money. We cross the street or look away to avoid making eye contact. Designer and artist Willie Baronet started buying signs from the homeless as a way to deal with his discomfort. In 1993, he embarked on a cross-country trip, buying signs from homeless people from Seattle to New York City. Along the way, something in him shifted in the way he felt about the homeless, as he got to know them as people. It was no longer "them and me" – now it was "us." |

Love Life: An Inspiring Journey Spurred by Tragedy
It’s hard to miss Steve Fugate’s message as you see him walking, pulling a cart packed with his supplies and water. The message is in bold red letters on a sign mounted over his head.

His mission? “To mend the broken heart while it is yet beating.” In 1999, his only son committed suicide while Fugate was in the middle of hiking the Appalachian Trail.

This news story covers Fugate’s journey and offers a moving glimpse of a man who responded to profound grief with staggering love. { read more }
