The Untold Story of Homelessness | Alan Graham | TEDxYouth@Austin

Alan Graham is the founder and CEO of Mobile Loaves & Fishes, a social outreach nonprofit in Austin, Texas that provides food and clothing, and promotes dignity to homeless men and women. Today, with the support of more than 19,000 volunteers, Mobile Loaves & Fishes is the largest prepared feeding program to the homeless and working poor in Austin. In addition to growing its truck ministry, Mobile Loaves & Fishes has expanded its programs and services to include the development of Community First! Village, a master planned community that provides affordable, permanent housing and a supportive community for the disabled, chronically homeless in Central Texas.

Just read about this remarkable man and I came here to find him. Its unbelievable what this man has done for the community . Yes he is obviously a compassionate man but he managed somehow to solve the problem of the homeless people. Not only a lovely soul, but he is clever, determined, ethical and above all a kind man thinking of the less fortunate. I believe he understands that we are all connected and what affects one or many has repercussions on all of us in one way or another. Imagine if world leaders were similar to this man? Yes it would change the world. The wellbeing of people, animals and the planet would be the top priority. God bless this man and his loved ones. May he be strong and safe and continue to help fellow men.

We have forgotten charity and empathy and walk through the world blind to all but our own arrogance.

I have the time and I think some of the skills necessary to build a community in the Detroit and Pontiac Michigan area. Can you help me to help others?
