Man Builds A House For A Homeless Woman After He Sees Her Sleeping In The Street
One man is taking on homelessness by tapping into the tiny-house craze that’s sweeping the nation right now. It all started after Los Angeles resident Elvis Summers noticed a 60-year-old woman in his neighborhood sleeping in the dirt a few doors down from where he lived. Feeling like it was his duty as a fellow human to try and do something to help the poor woman, he decided to build a tiny home for her out of recycled materials. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCBP_ATF’); }); It took Summers five days to build the home, which comes complete with a window and sturdy wheels to move it between different locations. These materials, including the wheels and two locks for the front door, cost him about $500. His words say it all: “Nobody should be homeless, especially in one of the richest countries in the world.” Feeling inspired by what he’d managed to do in such a short time, Summers founded My Tiny House Project LA. He’s already built over 30 tiny houses for homeless people across the city. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/tiny-house-surprise/
