Homeless People Read Mean Tweets About Themselves To End Stereotypes

When celebrities read mean tweets about themselves, it’s funny. When homeless people do it, it’s heartbreaking.

In a powerful PSA by Canadian advocacy group Raising the Roof, people who are dealing with homelessness read actual tweets written about those living without stable shelter. See all of the emotional reactions here.

this is important.

This.

This,

This.

When people make rude remarks about homeless people, even if they are trying to do it jokingly, I can never look at them the same. I want nothing to do with them.

I was homeless for only three months and it was the hardest time of my life. I cannot imagine how these people that have been homeless for years can make it through life. That requires some special kind of strength inside of them, and that alone makes me respect them 100x more than i respect any other stranger. 

47 years? Oh my god.

Please why. Those are just cruel. People are never homeless because they want to be and for you to blame them for it? It makes you the heartless one.
