…or, it could be titled, “Created in the image of God.”
“The greatest pain is rejection, the feeling that nobody really wants you “like that.” The feeling that you are seen as ugly, dirty, a burden, of no value. This is the pain I have discovered in the heart of our people.”

Mark Horvath, my friend & Founder of InvisiblePeople.tv, launches WeAreVisible.com to Empower Homeless People via Social Media.
WeAreVisible.com’s mission is to give people dealing with poverty and homelessness the tools they need to get online and have a voice. The site teaches them how to sign up for email, open a Twitter account, join Facebook, create a blog and, in general, take advantage of the benefits of online social media. It also has the potential to become a model for virtual case management as it helps build a community among homeless people and support service providers.
