It's that time again. The time of year where Facebook lets you all know I am now a year older on March 13th. This year I turn 54 years-old. 54 is kind of a big number and most birthday campaigns ask for donations based on the age. So let's cut my age in half. If each and every one of you could simply make a donation of $27 it would go a long way to reaching our goal. If you would like to donate $54,000, or even $5,400 please do. Of course, I am being a little funny. The truth is $5, $10, $25, $54 - any and every amount counts. This is the one campaign that fuels Invisible People throughout the year and we desperately need your support to help end homelessness.

"The stereotypes of people living in poverty throughout the United States are among the most negative prejudices that we have. And people basically view particularly homeless people as having no redeeming qualities" ~ Susan Fiske, Professor of Psychology. Princeton University

Invisible People's work is important!

I strongly believe that if the general public viewed our homeless neighbors as being the real people that they are, there wouldn't be such humiliation and violence against people experiencing homelessness! Awareness and education on homelessness can change that, and your support in funding Invisible People is breaking wrong stereotypes and changing how tens of millions of lives view homeless individuals.

DID YOU KNOW that Invisible People is the only national awareness and educational campaign on homelessness? Just turn on the TV and you'll see anti-smoking ads, don't text and drive videos are all over the internet, and causes from the need to recycle to global warming are everywhere we look, and they should be. Yet except for Invisible People, there are zero campaigns teaching the general public about homelessness.
