What does homeless look like?

Instagram

This wasn't something I had originally planned on doing... but the first interview for @homelesslookslike is MY DAD. George or "G-dog" as he's known to my girls. One of the things I remember the most distinctly about my dad growing up was his work ethic. He was always up at 4 or 5 in the morning, starting his day and making sure all the things were done and we were taken care of. Someone who made good money, LOVED to work and who so many people love...did he ever think he'd end up homeless? This interview might surprise you. Find out on the blog at the link in profile and THANK YOU for joining this mission to change the conversation on what homeless looks like! 🗣 #homelesslookslike

She wore her Your Story Matters shirt so proudly to school today 😍💕✨ Link in profile today about how you can help TODAY and it costs $0!!! #homelesslookslike

Almost 1K in a day. Wow, you guys... we started this because you always have shown up for us and we knew you would do it for others who need it more than us. I’ve cried this morning seeing familiar screen names as I scroll through and recognize your support pouring over to this new project of ours. THANK YOU. Thank you for being there for us! Our first interview is coming next week and I think it’s going to surprise you 💕 Welcome and thank you for being here!!!! #homelesslookslike

HAPPY LAUNCH DAY!!!! It's been less than a month since I was driving my girls to ballet open house and had the idea to create this home for a mission to change the narrative about what HOMELESS LOOKS LIKE. It was a combination of knowing some incredible people who have experienced homelessness, hearing too many people think it was trendy to say "I look homeless" and maybe because this is my way of finishing that sociology degree I never got from ODU because I was too poor to keep attending 😭 So many people think they know what homeless looks like... but the truth is, if you LISTEN TO A STORY, you may find out they are YOU and ME...without a safety net. The voiceless deserve a voice. We are so much more alike than different. Homeless Looks Like is a place where we'll create CONNECTION and COMPASSION through story telling. WELCOME and THANK YOU for supporting us!!!🎉 We'll be working toward non-profit status so we can donate immediate needs and support shelters who can help those without a place to go. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being here. New blog post with more info (and newsletter sign up!) at link in profile!✨ -Amanda & Mike Hedgepeth
