Homeless on Haight: Beautiful stories of falling down, of poverty, of feeling invisible, and tales of hope on one of San Francisco's most iconic streets

Haight-Ashbury is the lively neighborhood in San Francisco made famous in the 1960s as the epicenter of the hippie movement and home to influential revolutionaries, musicians, and cult leaders. Today, Haight Street epitomizes San Francisco in a different way. It bustles with tourists and wealthy residents who drink coffee, buy expensive vintage clothes, and frown as they ignore or step over people who sleep in the street in the cold. There are thousands of people in San Francisco and this book tells the stories of nine homeless people on Haight Street. All the photos in this book were taken on or near Haight-Ashbury and the stories range between uplifting and heartbreaking.By telling these stories this book hopes to humanize the homeless. The invisible people. It encourages us all to be kinder and more aware of the fact that homelessness can happen to anyone. Most United States citizens are just one or two unfortunate accidents or events away from being on the streets.We hope you buy this book and help us spread the message of love and understanding. This book isn't about earning dollars. It's about spreading love. If you have never sat down to hear the story of someone homeless, you might just be moved by what you hear. Read more
