The Intention ProjectOne Person is Making a Difference in the Life of a Homeless Man
Posted March 20th, 2007 by stephanie
What an inspiring story this is. Jonathan Grant, who lives in Los Angeles, started talking to a homeless guy named Edward who he met in front of his local convenience store. Edward was a nice guy who is proud to have stayed off drugs even while dealing with the harshness of the street.
Jonathan decided to help, and began to work towards getting Edward a place to live in a job. How? By trading items on Craigslist.
While the concept has been done before (a guy traded a red paper clip up to get a house), it has never been done to help a homeless person. Jonathan started with a blue push pin and now has a $3,000 Apple computer to trade!
Let's send some positive vibes over to Edward, and see him in the perfect new job in a safe and secure home.
