Hello, I'm Jenn Klein of "You Are A Philanthropist."

A few years ago, I interviewed Ron Dudley on my podcast to hear his story of spreading kindness on the streets of Washington, D.C.

You can learn more about Ron in our interview on my website: click here.

Ron is a native of the Washington, DC, area. He is a man with a big heart who has learned great lessons from the hardships he has experienced. Ron lost his mother at a young age, has been homeless, and has lived in a challenging area of DC, which he refers to as “the ghetto.” He has been selling the Street Sense Media Newspaper on the streets of Washington D.C. for over a decade. Street Sense is a publication that is created, sold, and produced start to finish by individuals who are homeless or housing insecure.

Ron also published a book of his own poetic rap lyrics called, My Science Project. Ron is a man with little financial means, but because of his generous heart is a man rich in wisdom and goodwill. He talks about his passion for sharing a smile, being non-judgmental, and building community wherever you are.

Today, Ron has gone from housing-insecure to homeless and staying in shelters. It's been my goal to help Ron since I met him. We speak by phone and I help him when I can, but I'd like to see what more can be done for him. Would you please consider joining me in support of Ron?
