why homeless people?

 

“I would say specifically to homeless people, you know, people walking down the street they see homeless people and they disregard them; they think that they are disgusting, that they are rude, that they are unhuman, and I think that its so wrong.”

Emma Weller.

In 2022 she continues to make this initiative a better place for people who are homeless.

How could people help with this initiative?

Having the support people by donating even one dollar to her GoFundMe that can be found on her Instagram bio @emmaswinterbunndles and create awareness about the help that these people need especially in the winter.

what it’s the message Emma wants to give to the world?

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
