I finally launched my project on humanizing the homeless yesterday, Fifty Sandwiches. I think it's very unique to other Kickstarter projects and I would love to get some feedback!

After six long months of research and preparation, I finally launched my project called Fifty Sandwiches.

Fifty Sandwiches is a cross-country journey dedicated to presenting the public with a rare glimpse into the lives and stories of America’s homeless. Their unique and unheard experiences will be captured in a book and called Fifty Sandwiches.

The plan is to toss a mattress in a van and travel the country interviewing members of the homeless population. Each face, sandwich, and story, will be documented extensively in Fifty Sandwiches.

The goal is to close the gap between public perception and reality, creating an almost unnerving bridge between the readers and the struggling stranger they walk past everyday. I have been lucky enough to talk to around 15 amazing people so far and have posted some on my blog as well as the Kickstarter page.

Homelessness is often seen as an inevitable result in the social food chain. By gathering a collective range of perspectives and life stories, Fifty Sandwiches aims to further humanize the homeless. This book will inspire public awareness, using personal anecdotes and challenges to foster the realization that homeless people are not defined by their living situations.

I am the sole creator of this thing and any and all feedback/support/criticism would mean the world to me! Let me know what you think!
