Fundraising is underway @home for an important campaign to inspire action to solve homelessness in our communities. With less than one month left, now is the time you can help make a difference!
The goal of the campaign, which was inspired by Pasadena-based and formerly homeless activist Mark Horvath, is to use film, social media, and a smartphone game to amplify his tireless work of turning apathy into action, making the homeless visible and inspiring people to help solve homelessness in their own backyards. To make a tax-deductible donation or for more information, please visit www.indiegogo.com/projects/at-home-campaign.
A portion of the funds raised by this Kickstarter campaign will help complete a Kindling Group’s @Home – The Documentary. Currently in post-production, the riveting documentary follows Horvath as he pioneers the use of social media and web video for change.
With extensive reach and a worldwide following, Horvath, who began his journey to humanize homelessness more than a decade ago with only a backpack, socks and a video camera, now has a social media following through his website www.invisiblepeople.tv, Facebook and Twitter (@hardlynormal) that numbers over one hundred thousand.
On any given night, nearly 633,782 people in the United States experience homelessness – over 60,000 of them veterans. And the average age of a homeless person in the United States is only nine years old.
To date, Horvath’s Invisible People has traveled to over a hundred cities in six different countries empowering our homeless friends to have a voice, while sharing the stories of people who are giving their all to end homelessness.
When the filmmakers first met Horvath, they never believed that ending homelessness was achievable – but he convinced them.
Now you can not only believe, but help turn this vision into a reality.
