homeless peoples’ stories are
often shared but rarely heard.
The Make Them Visible Foundation (MTVF) raises resources for a collective of organizations across the country combatting homelessness and hunger.
MTVF presents Unspoiled Lives - a provocative campaign to raise awareness and generate funding for our homeless neighbors through storytelling.

we shared real stories of individuals who experienced homelessness on facebook. each story concluded urging readers to invest in a life and change the story.

“My name is Charles. I grew up in a loving small family with both parents...”
My name is Johnny. I was born in the Bronx...”
“My name is Vivian. As a child growing up it was rough...”
