Hello Prof Budzinski and Fellow Classmates, Accordingly, after viewing the California Homeless Youth Project 's videos, I felt a string of emotions all at once. I felt gratefulness, gratitude, despair, compassion all in one. In other words, I was seeing myself in those videos or someone I knew encountered in my past life.

The root cause of my project is that the homeless don’t have the essential basic needs to sustain their health. My project will help around 100-200 homeless individuals, supplying them with a custom pillow, which will allow them to carry essential items which I will collect and donate, such as a book, a handwritten letter, various toiletries and food, that will be given to new or existing client of Hope’s door. I plan to interview several individuals at Hope’s Door and learn about their stories…
