Not only you guys had learned so much about this event but the whole community because of this article. Thanks sharing it to all! For most of us, being a homeless is maybe the worst thing that could ever happen but you guys have guts to face it and we salute for that. Upvoted and followed you from now on @remouherek
They definitely shed a new light on it for me. You never really know what it's like until you've experienced it first hand or heard from someone who has. Hopefully people will realize not all homeless people are drug addicts or bums. A lot are just people down on their luck trying to survive.
Nice social experiment. I use to talk to a lot homeless in the streets and most of them are pretty interesting. Never what you expected. For being not too wealthy myself, I only can tell lacking money makes you creative by force. :)
These guys have had a life like you and me before. Most of them didnt choose to live that way, like punks. Many of them have good hearts, even if they have to fight for daily survival. I also experienced, the poorer somebody is, the more he/she has to give. Isn't that strange?! :)
My friend did a photography series where he talked to numerous homeless people and photographed their hands. Each hand told a unique story. Always interesting to get different perspectives.
if spoiled people experienced what you did, they could literally change their lives, many young generations nowadays; they wasted too much food, they go party using drugs and alcohol. young generations should be aware that we should be grateful of what we have, we should be grateful that are health is pretty good condition, that's the problem of some millennial today, they have all the resources and a good health, but yet they destroyed it and never gave importance to what they have.
A lot of people haven't experienced struggle and therefore cannot relate at all. It is impossible without experiencing it firsthand. I think everyone could benefit from a little perspective. When all you know is an easy life you start to take it for granted.
Following your approach, I believe learning is living. People learn through real life work, through opportunities given to them that meet their developmental needs. Thanks for sharing.
Holy crap I would never have the courage to take on this task. I can't believe you raised 6000 euros for those 8 non profit organizations, that was very noble of you. I'm surprised that you had so much food to go around, I can't believe homeless throw their food out! And wow the shoppers were really nice with a hit rate or 50%, maybe because they knew there money would end up at a good cause. This is a one of a kind article on Steemit. I have upvoted and look forward to your next ground breaking post! :)
This is an interesting thing to do but it can't actually mimic the feeling of having no home because in your mind you still have a home. Living this life is brutal I know my son is an addict and is living it we have actually been unable to keep him in housing because of his behaviour. Having no base from which to be a part of society means it is impossible to have meaningful relationships with family and it is heartbreaking. People who are addicts on the street have no spare time because they spend every minute collecting money and then searching for the next fix. All of their relationships are based on the money and the drugs they can get out of people. This is the reality.
It sounds like a unique experience! I think it's great that you put yourself in the shoes of homeless people - it must be especially tough throughout the winter, since you're constantly freezing and have to make sure that you find a spot to sleep at, where there's no snow or wet grass.
I'm surprised that you had so many people helping you out, but it's great that there are still many out there who are happy to help the ones who need it!
Very impressive!

Thank you. It's great that you talked with homeless people. They should not feel isolated. I can only recommend such an experience.

Totally agree. Poor people are often happier than rich people as well.

Totally agree with you on this one. Such an experience can truly be life-changing, as it was for me.

Totally agree. Learning cannot be theory-only, it also needs to come from application and experience.
You must have experience to fully understand a given topic. You can read about it all you want but nothing overshadows real engagement.
I totally agree with you.

Totally agree with you. The life of an addict is tough. We never pretended to be real homeless. Nevertheless it was a life-changing experience for us!
Wow, I don't think I would be able to do that!
Pretty much everybody could do it (under the proper guidance). It's less challenging that you think.
Beautiful story. I'm moved by it. ❤️
Thank you so much 🙏
You're welcome darling 💋

Thank you so much for your kind words. Indeed the winters must be super hard. We did it in summer and it was cold enough at night!
