Why did this interest me?
Growing up I never had a home of my own as money was scarce with only having one parent nonetheless I appreciated the sacrifices that were made in order for me to attend great schools and gradually educate myself further about the issues low-income communities and the homeless population face. The youth is the future and it is my dream that they continue to project their dreams- this is where 4theppl stems from.
