Homeless for the "Home-e-less"

Homeless for the home-e-less
Last Christmas, I was exposed to the ‘home-e-less’ by my adorable niece, Kate. While driving through her new neighborhood, she would call my attention to the various tents, blanket-covered shopping carts, and withering pets, and say in a very subdued voice, “Those are the home-e-less”. She said it with such apprehension, as if she were afraid they would hear her. Not for their embarrassment, but her perceived fear. Unfortunately, because she is so adorable, she HAS to be afraid. She doesn’t know that her uncle has been ‘home-e-less’, so I felt conflicted. I want her to know that homeless does not equate danger. A new project was born.
I am going to travel the USA, all 50 states to be exact. I am going to volunteer one week of time to various homeless shelters, food banks, clinics. etc and document the journey. I am effectively becoming homeless to feed the homeless. I will take pictures, tell stories, etc in a blog, YouTube channel, and podcast (‘Waking Up With ALoweHah’), as well as Skype sessions with Kate, my niece. I see the whole project as something like, “50-50-50″ … 50 states, 50 weeks in a 50min documentary video.
At this point, I am using GoFundMe.com to raise the estimated amount to cover my travel costs. This includes the gas around the USA, auto expenses, camping fees, and a slight per diem to help me exist.
